Barstools 03:41
You're awfully wild tonight Drinking like hell will rise Devil's before your eyes He keeps on calling you back And he looks like the bartender Who knows you down to the letter Stitched to your tongue and ever Thirsting for more To the barstools and neon signs The patron who always smiles Though he never will tell you why All the better for that To the gin sitting in his glass And the sputtering way he laughs When he puts down his drink to ask Who will come share his bed She's awfully kind tonight Knows that this soul of mine Needs just a little shine And a break from the black She's talking with younger men And I can't compare to them But right now I need a friend Or a little bit more To the barstools and neon signs The waitress who always smiles Though she never will tell me why All the better for that To the gin sitting in this glass And the sad little way she laughs When I put down this drink to ask If she'll come share my bed You're awfully wild tonight Make your way home, get your head back on right I need just a little shine I'm a good man, not like these other guys You're awfully wild And I'm just a child I need some shine Darling, won't you be mine for the night? To the barstools and neon signs

Little Fires 03:53
Blushing, all lit up with tiny little fires Under my skin Staring sideways at everything you do Wishing I could collapse into you You're hot to the touch, or I'd imagine as such I've yet to find out But I'll take these hands and on my command I'll see what this spark is all about Just lay me down Stay for the night We can wander around In body and mind Linger here longer I'll take it all in And lean on your words Losing my sleep and holding my tongue Should I be reckless and young? I'm dizzy and dangerously close to just pulling you Close to me I've reached out my hands at the sight of your smile Bursting so brilliantly Darling, I want you it's plain and it's clear I swear I'll play nice if you come over here Darling, I want you it's plain and it's clear I swear I'll play nice, so come over here and just Lay me down Stay for the night We can wander around In body and mind Just lay me down Stay for the night All these flames and these fires Embodying mine

I've got a trace of the woods and the wastes on my skin I felt the roots in the soil when I dug my hands in I cannot wash it off The land has made its mark The shadows were liars and I couldn't help but believe Tallest of tales as they stretched out the branches of trees To claw at the skies Cover up the moon Play tricks on my eyes Lord let me find my way soon Oh and I heard them Those natural demons Trying to take me for a fool Evil intentions Howling misdirections Oh, the forest can be cruel I've got a trace of the woods and the wastes on my skin I looked to the land days on end till I found my way in I clung to the earth Laid among the fields Made claim to the dirt Take these unworthy hands Pressed to the heart of the land I'm no fool these woods live in my skin Take these unworthy hands Pressed to the heart of the land I'm no fool these woods live in my skin Marked by the wastes I will sow myself in

about

This EP is the product of many hands, many cups of tea, and many hours in an improvised bedroom/bathroom studio. It would have been an impossible feat without the kindness and talents of Jimmy Brannen, Graham Stone, Stella Green Sanderson, Kelly Lefaive, Beth Harris, Chris Blachford, Mike Dickson, and all "The Chums" who have lent their support. Someday we'll find a way of paying you back. Until then, infinite thank-yous and supersized hugs to all of you.
