about

This is a weight that needed to be lifted. I was just spinning the tires.

I wanted to step back from guitar for a bit. It would constantly be the first instrument in. Definitely a fear that it was getting stale. So the keys and electronics got brought out. For the last year it's been about experimenting around in a different zone. There was an album in mind that I wanted to make. But, after months of grinding away, the realization hit that this wasn't it.

I'd moved on from the subject I was writing about, the energy had gone elsewhere. To keep it as the focus was treading water, stuck on something not worth revisiting. So these finished tracks had to be cut loose, the ideas that didn't make it stored away on an external hard drive. Now, I'm off to hunker down in a shack somewhere, pick up a guitar again, bust out the drum kit, try to really track out what's been on my mind. And I'm really looking forward to the opportunity. Until that gets wrapped up though, these songs were baggage needing to be let go.

Thank you all again for the support you have given. It means the world to me, and I hope you enjoy this release. I'll be back soon with more.

James

Track Name: Alone Is Okay
alone is okay i've felt i earned it this way
back in the fall i left you crumbling off
you were a saint and i came pummeling down
took all your weakness and i laid it right out

alone is my calling i have been here before
back in the spring you lead me out to this world
sealed a stigma and got lost in the crowd
closet of littleton so hard to burst out
Track Name: Hostages
but i was too young to know
i may not have any second chances
with all the nice theater kids that you know
it's different
and i leave tomorrow anyway
but all i need is a moment alone
to tell you all that i have held in
i think i've fallen for you
but don't say a word and nobody gets hurt
don't say a word and nobody gets hurt
don't say a word

but i was too young to know
i may not have any second chances
bite my tongue
you aint worth derailing my life for
even if i felt you were
but all i need is a moment alone
the stomach to sum up the courage
and admit that i've fallen for you
don't say a word and nobody gets hurt

all that i want for you
if only you'd let me in
i want to tell you everything
but i don't say a word

but i was too young to know
Track Name: Kingston
i was bitter, i was distant
i was vacant
and all the time i thought of you
and all i wanted, all i lost
i keep moving forward
i can't see who i'm running from

you were taken, it was fatal
put your thought on a tether
and i can't seem to let it go
and all i wanted, all i lost
i keep moving forward
i can't see who i'm running from

all of this world it will stay turning
we'll be fine
in the certain future
the back and forth of life
hate to see you unhappy
hate you seeing someone else
it takes all our systems down
all our systems down
all our systems down
Track Name: XYXY
so straighten out your thoughts
don't joke around with me in that way
acting way too strange
i'm not delusional
you are not the thing i've been dreaming of
x and y x and y
it's not alright not alright

if you think of me that way
we'll never be the same
hey i don't want you near me anymore
have way too much to lose
it'll leak out to my folks
losing my way of life my friends my home
you're acting way too strange
they've laws against this stuff
know they'll put us to death for this i'm sure
have too much here to lose
please don't look at me that way
you haven't been the thing i'm dreaming of
x and y x and y
it's not alright not alright
i can't i can't i can't

straight the kid delusionite
long been taught this wrong from right
in a ocean wide to turn the tide
i can't i can't i can't
x and y x and y
it's not alright not alright
x and y x and y
i can't i can't i can't
