Jillian says I drink too slow, tell me something I don't know
But it's good to see her again.
Mikey says he's having a rough go with his brother down in Ohio
That's because he's down in Ohio.
And I don't know what to do
And I don't know where to go
And I don't know whom I've hurt
And I don't know what that's worth
And I don't know what to do
And I don't know where to go
And I don't know whom I've seen
And I don't know where I've been
Taylor's making it work overseas now, still dancing and feeling all high brow
I still think about those days
Gordie's disappeared from it all, I haven't seen him since that fall
Apologies setting my life ablaze
And I don't know what to do
And I don't know where to go
And I don't know whom I've hurt
And I don't know what that's worth
And I don't know what to do
And I don't know where to go
And I don't know whom I've seen
And I don't know where I've been
And I don't know what to do
And I don't know where to go
And I don't know whom I've hurt
And I don't know what that's worth
And I see Las Vegas lights
And I feed the mouth that bites
But I don't know how to pose
It doesn't matter I suppose

The second single from the new EP Mythical Holy Good Guy, out September 8th, 2023.
lyrics
Once a year when it all calms down,
I find myself in my old hometown and I hear
Villains on the sea - what's under siege in this part of me?
Once a year I conjure the ghost
I swear it's just been a month at most but he laughs,
says "Isn't this a gas? Isn't it grand to embrace me at last?"
This might be the greatest part of me.
This might be the one.
This can't be the demons eating at me.
I won't be the one.
When I stare out of the dark
I get this vision of Central Park with you,
In our Sunday best, all of this evil now laid to rest.
Starting fresh but I'm in my prime
I swear I'm getting it right this time because I know
The villain that you see is knocking them back with the hero in me.
This might be the greatest part of me.
This might be the one.
C'est la vie - the demons are eating at me.
I won't be the one.
This might be the greatest part of me.
This might be the one.
This can't be the demons eating at me.
I won't be the one.

Bury The Gold

Forgive but don’t forget
I don’t think you’ve ever felt that’s true
The gaslight that you left
Has finally stopped burning after you
Burned me one last cassette
But never told me I was featured too
So now I can’t forget
The simple truth I really always knew
Bury the gold
Bury it all deep down underground
Bury the gold
I won’t make a sound, I won’t make a sound
Until I break the chains and the dirt is packed, call it a fact.
I’ve witnessed what remains - so before you go,
Bury the gold
Death by a thousand blows
Hard to communicate the pain
Because it never shows
Just wriggles its way ’round through my brain
But in my grown-up clothes
I’ve put away the Polyurethane
And so the story goes
Better than dying beneath the waves

Tie My Mask

I took all my meds love, squint hard at the words
To be something I’m proud of, I’m up with the birds
We’re on our way now to see it through
I’m going gray now, out of the blue
And I’m losing these days, in a million different ways
The tidal wave hits you, snuffed out at the source
Pray my daily mantra, centrifugal force
We’re on our way now to see it through
I’m going gray now, but coming too
And I’m losing these days, in a million different ways
Got two little boys now, I can’t be a ghost
They strike at the center, of what I’ve wanted most
They’re on their way now, to see me through
I’m feeling okay now, let’s see them through
And I’m smiling these days, in a million different ways
And I’m smiling these days, got to find your own way

Vampires of Soho

Give me a minute, I can’t shake the dust off
Of this bike I used to ride by myself
Call it a comeback, or just not collapsing
Either way I know it’s the thought that counts
Let me in
I’m your shoulder angel
Let me in for one more drink
It’s well-established, I can’t keep my facts straight
But you’ve arranged them all in the back of the room
And it’s uneasy just how easy it is
To kick them around and just play the greatest hits
Let me in
I’m your shoulder angel
Let me in for one more drink
Let me in
I’m your secret safe place
Let me in and we won’t sink
Is it deep enough to swim?
Are you playing to my whims?
Is this the joy that we’ve been built for?

No One Is Here

Take what works and leave what doesn’t, it doesn’t have to be a thing
Find yourself a seat on the plane, and I’ll be there with you on the wing
No one is here but you, so do what you gotta do
To find your way back home
To me
Found a reason to dance in the kitchen, it’s been a minute since you were
Worth a nickel in your mind, but we’ve rediscovered what you’re worth
No one is here but you, so do what you gotta do
To find your way back home
To me
And when the ships roll through the night
I know you'll have to start the fight
And though a million voices crowd in at once
I know, I know, that you’ll be free
Feeling fly and feeling higher but try not to get used to it
The moment drops and so the setting’s gone but we don’t have to split
No one is here but you, so do what you gotta do
To find your way back home
To me
And when the ships roll through the night
I know you'll have to start the fight
And though a million voices crowd in at once
I know, I know, that you’ll be free

Permanent Residents

I want something that makes me feel good, saving up and I'll budget right
The city's moving but a dollar from now I think I'll finally be alright
I know my place with these indie hipsters, the sad dads and the stoner moms
I've got my card but I owe some late fees, I think I'll finally write that sitcom...
I'll keep my distance from your sticks and stones
My closet's not empty - there's a pile of bones
They're Permanent Residents in my heart, but now I know
Even though I've tried hard, I can let this one go
Let it go!
Get me out of this dirty bookstore, I feel anxious even when I'm loved
I'm getting healthy playing frisbee with Caleb, but I'm a Judas in his Field of Blood
Every day I remember the table - take yours and I'll keep what's mine
I carry room for the stormy weather, but I'll be damned if the sun won't shine.
I'll keep my distance from your sticks and stones
My closet's not empty - there's a pile of bones
They're Permanent Residents in my heart, but now I know
Even though I've tried hard, I can let this one go
Let it go!
They're Permanent Residents, I can let 'em go
They're Permanent Residents, I can let 'em go
They're Permanent Residents
They're Permanent Residents
They're Permanent
They're Permanent
They're Permanent
I'll keep my distance from your sticks and stones
My closet's not empty - there's a pile of bones
