The Getback 06:46
I used to think you were my hero. I thought you had it all together. I was there when you lost it. I'm just waiting to hear you say... to say it's over. You lost what you never earned and always had. I'm stealing what others thought made you glad. I used to think you were my lover. Just me and you until the end. Now you're thinking of another. I'm just waiting to hear you say... to say it's over.

The Curse 02:56
We're taking a trip, we're gonna drive all night. We've gotta stay out of the heat. We're heading on down to Redemption town with disaster in the passenger seat. Will we get there? The curse is on my right shoulder and my left on is cold. I gave it to the one who was given much, the one with all the soul. Will we get there? Turn the headlights off, turn the cruise control on. Let me childhood memories guide us on. We packed light, took everything that we owned, we had to save room for the lies. All the habits and the words and all that s*** that keeps us looking good in your eyes. Will we make if before the sun comes? Surely things we supposed to be this bad. It's time go get back for all the years we had. Turn the cruise control on and the radio loud. Time to get back, time to get on out.

1000 01:37
Gonna take a trip late tonight. Gonna be in a haze. Gonna drive by your house when you're asleep and make sense of 1000 days. Na na na.... Gonna wake up in the morning and wonder why I'm holding on when 1000 reasons in Colby's eyes have got me all turned on. Tell me 1000 times in 1000 ways why I'd be good for you for 1000 days. 1000 words come so fast each day. You know they leave my lonely mind at night in 1000 ways.

Thinking of a yesterday that went away fast. Oh my God, where are you now? Will all this pay off some how? The days of pure and dreaming, where have they gone? Oh my heart, where are you now? You only beat fast with stress and smoke. I feel you hurt from greed and political overflow. You've been somewhere between my mind and my eyes. You've been stuck there for quite some time. Now I can't get you out of my head. All I can see is you straight ahead. I see what I'm wanting. I want you wanting me. Oh my mind, where are you now? You chase the death and make it sound so good. Oh my love, where are you know? You went away without a sound..... Oh my love.... My hard work, your investment, my reward, your clout, my strain, your romance, my restless, your peace, my risk, your comfort, my sacrifice, your indulgence. I'm a sleeping giant. You know I've always been louder. I'm turbo charged and you're my road......whatever....

Wildcat 04:20
Aint' gonna change for you woman. I might change when you're gone. Keep all my money to myself. Spend it on whatever I want. Wanna a girl who lives in the city. One whose hair not so light. One who won't mind me giving money to the man in need and trust that he's using it right. (Play it for me, baby) I'm gonna play it for you baby. I'm gonna play it for you baby. You ain't never gonna change me. I'm a wildcat baby, you ain't never gonna change me. Hear this, darlin', hear this.

about

Part 1 of "The Great State of Vandevander" EP trilogy. These songs are about absolute heartbreak without any courteous warning; the forceful convincing and in our limited understanding, that true pain shows no favoritism. Cue, the grief cycle.
