Dear John 03:26
lyrics
buy track
You were the sunbeam on a cloudy day You kept my skies that beautiful blue But soon the sun set, and you went away So I regret not changing for you That's enough, end of argument Aint it tough losing what you had Scratched in rough, crooked letterhead To Dear John I was a raincloud on a sunny day When skies were clear and futures were bright But then I came in and it turned away Then my downpour would put our your light So it goes, thanks for keeping me On my toes, walking ceaselessly Through shadows, where the creeps would sing To Dear John We were the sunburn on a winter's day

The Outcast Cries 03:27
lyrics

Well it seems that my efforts were useless I had wasted time chasing the wind There was never a beggar as fruitless as I Who would come out on top in the end So I called up my good old familiars But I found I was still just as lost I was never quite one for resilience so I Step behind the lines that I had crossed Mercy me, the outcast cries While covering his tracks For within his heart there lies A beast with endless backs Let me call back to when you first met me I could swear to god I haven't changed Well maybe the problem is that I let free All the demons that wrought me estranged I was a dog in the manger Til you stepped up and broke free But to my kin, you were a stranger Turning the tides upon me

Not In Love (Anymore) 03:52
lyrics

So tell me where's the sense in shouting I know what I've done wrong And where to place the blame We'll just call it a must-needing outing When you've been strung along You'd soon forget your name Guess I should face it if I can't replace it No use to try to chase the wind I had been head over heels Until it had lost all appeal I've thought about it and I'm not in love anymore Now I'm world renounced Had I been hit right where it counts? I'll think it over, but I'm not in love anymore I had been lost deep in your eyes so starry Infatuation burns itself deep in my chest Congratulations and I'm sorry I guess it's live and learn When you've been second guessed Now it's too late and you can't change your fate So I'm left waiting on the mend Now it's all over but the shouting With this I sanctify the coming of the age All the while, my vision had been clouding You were my eyes when I could never find my way Once again head over heels You never once lost your appeal I've thought about it and I'm so in love I am sore Now I've turn around When I had heard that calling sound I lied when I said that I'm not in love anymore

All Just a Misunderstanding 03:44
lyrics

I lost it all by betting on my luck I had broken bad and run amok To say I crossed the line is not enough If I could take it back, you know I would Flattery won't do me any good I shall burst forth, a diamond in the rough Now I had the means to reconcile Still apologies just aren't my style But just this time, I'll bit my tongue No one would believe that I would dare They'd say save your breath, don't spoil the air For you, I'd empty out my lungs I've tried to say my piece But I don't think my words are landing I'm hurt to say the least But good to know that I'm still standing Won't you admit that it was All just a misunderstanding Seems that I'm too late to state my case Guess it was for nought, this futile race And I had missed my chance to say goodbye What a horrid way for this to end Wish that I could still call you a friend That's just how it goes, sometimes people die

The Enemy Was Myself 03:31
lyrics
buy track
Oh my god, what have I done I cried into the cold night air But all I heard was echoes Screaming back against the sun Remembering how I got there And how I'd never let go And how I won't forgive myself at all And though you offer, I would just refuse your help I guess the enemy was myself I let you be, collecting dust upon the shelf I guess the enemy was myself When you broke the atmosphere You thought that you would shoot the moon You dreamed of heights divine And just like that, you disappeared A fire that burn out far too soon A star no longer shining No light to guide me through these empty halls With this sorrow, I fall to the floor Give me the strength to carry through And when you ask me who I sing for I sing for no one, only you So I repent the times that I put you through hell I guess the enemy was myself I crossed the line and put control above all else I guess the enemy was myself

about

Companion EP to "A New Subversive Art" from Information Highway 61.

A man awakes to find he has been left by his ex and alienated because of his poor behavior. He goes through a period of reflection, only to find an incentive to lure her back to him, which he takes advantage of, having learned nothing.
