This EP is a stop on my journey of musical and self discovery.
I wrote these songs on the down-turn of my original band, Pink Lincoln.
The EP is 5 tracks, with Billie and Falling Star being newly recorded songs.
Recorded at home on a PC. Just vocals and acoustic guitars recorded with a microphone.
I will follow you, wherever you may be
In another life, you may have been complete
At an early age, you were left crawling on the street
And all that's left behind, is a man who's incomplete
I will follow you! Down to the river's edge. Down to the Edge!
Don't you think I know, exactly what you're doing there?
When the morning comes, and you're rising to the east
The painful memories, depriving you of sleep
With all the pain you've faced you pray to god it's time for you to live
You've got to find a way, to break the chains of this disease
I will follow you! Down to the river's edge. Down to the Edge!
Don't you think I know, exactly what you're doing there?
Denying nothing but yourself, Beneath you lies and empty shell
I will follow you! Down to the river's edge. Down to the Edge!
Don't you think I know, exactly what you're doing there?
You used to be, You used to be, You used to be, You used to be...

Track Name: Heaven
Another day and I've broken more of them
Dreams they pass me by like a waterfall
Will I ever grasp the true ideal?
She wakes up early, breaks another mold
The passion of life dissolves when you aren't living it
When you comprimise it's hard to change
Heaven will wait for us,
Around the corner, chasing the bend again
Heaven will wait for us,
At the summit, shining on us, oh yeah
Twists of fate, they wrap and torture us
Revealing paths that we thought had gone away
We see the treasure's close at hand
Both of us, we reach and grasp for it
But father time has other plan for us
The stars will fail us once again
Heaven will wait for us,
Around the corner, chasing the bend again
Heaven will wait for us,
At the summit, we'll meet again, oh yeah
Heaven will wait for us,
Around the corner, chasing the bend again
Heaven will wait for us,
At the summit, we'll meet again, oh yeah
Track Name: Billie
As Billie sits here watching the other kids at play,
It suddenly occurs to her, she really cannot stay
And so she makes her way through another dirty park,
The simple subtle whisperings are sure to leave a mark
Daylight brings another ride, You wouldn't believe
She returns to the bungalo with another heavy load,
And finishes the leftovers with a dirty plastic fork
To meek an existance in a troubled early life,
Is not an easy task these days and maybe you were right
Daylight brings another ride, You wouldn't believe
Symptoms of a troubled life, You wouldn't believe me if you knew
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
In her dreams she enjoys the finer things,
And her future failure's not pre-arranged
Believe, Don't Believe, Believe,
Believe, Don't believe, Believe
Don't Believe a word they say, they're just your children,
what do they know anyway?
Track Name: Falling Star
Falling Star
Mid-western girls always seem to get the fever, You know we see it all the time
In search of fashion fame and glory, leave their friends behind
And when they've made a big star out of you,
Girl keep your feet on the ground, because there's one thing left to do,
You know, you know, you know
Nobody knows where she goes after the show
She's on her way flash from the stars to memory
Friday nights and champagne always never ending, paint the town insanity
They give you treats of gold and diamonds, never really what you need
And now they've made a big star out of you,
Girl keep your feet on the ground because there's one thing left for you,
You know, you know, you know
Nobody knows where she goes after the show
She's on her way flash from the stars to memory
And when the spector of age comes to worship her,
The final curtain it closes, never opens again
Nobody knows where she goes after the show
She's on her way flash from the stars to memory
Nobody knows where she goes after the show
She's on her way, flash from the stars to memory
Track Name: Doc Holiday
Will you follow, my friend he says to me
The posse's calling, and it's time to make ends meet
Gunfights and gambling, but the day it just won't come
Stuck in Mediocrity, cause the day it just won't come
Doc Holiday!
Drinkin at the parlor, will I ever win?
This life can be hollow, till the bitter end
Gunfights and gambling, but the day it just won't come
Stuck in Mediocrity, cause the day it just won't come
Doc Holiday!
Consumption's gotten me, so what am I to do?
I kick and scratch it, but it's clear I'm gonna loose
So I'll keep fighting, because there's something I've got to prove
Legends live on!
Gunfights and gambling, but the day it just won't come
Stuck in Mediocrity, cause the day it just won't come
Doc Holiday!
