In a town where the old roads crossed There lived a Man he was completely lost And all his friends they were broken by design He said "I'm working, but I'm not alright" He had a job but he never had a name He prayed to God over and over again He hoped that someday he would be taken into the sky But it doesn't work that way and he just died And there was a Girl who promised never to be Like any of her parents she said she'd always be free But the weight of the world it was too hard on the girl She took a bunch of pills to get away from it all

Sad Arp 02:14
Ain't it tough when they hardly notice? Ain't it tough when they're hard on thee? And every time it goes like this And every time it goes like this

Happy Gurl 01:58
Happy girl Superlucky girl She's with me and now it's plain to see She's the one And now I hold her tight She's with me And yeah I feel so right Happy girl Superlucky girl She's with me Just like a fantasy She's never gone Because I hold her tight She's with me And yeah I feel so right

Flying Over 03:07
Flying away, it'll all be over Maybe someday, you will go back You gotta pay with your friends and lovers But it's not too late for a new start Flying over I found myself and I ain't never going back And it's all there is to it I found myself and I ain't never going back To that I found myself and I ain't never going back To that Your hair's getting gray You life move forward Day after day, it can't be stopped You try to run away, but it is useless You can't take the pain You can't go back Flying over I found myself and I ain't never going back And it's all there is to it I found myself and I ain't never going back To that I found myself and I ain't never going back To that Haven't felt like myself all day Dreams and hopes all fall in through cracks Now looks like all the debts have been paid Now it's time for me to go back
5.
All good reasons Drown in schisms And heavy rain that Falls so hard Every time I'm Losing my mind Everything just Falls apart What you're waiting? Contemplating All the treason In your heart Every time I'm Losing my mind Everything just Falls apart
6.
Sometimes 04:01
Now it seems that you're having More fun than me And I wanted to see you In misery But I can't make you sorry All I can do is sleep It's the weirdest of feelings I have these days I don't know why you've been With me in first place I don't feel like seeing Anyone ever again Sometimes I'm beat Sometimes I'm right Sometimes I'm wrong Sometimes I wanna die Well, you've acted so shocked But you were happy inside And you said we'll be friends Such a comforting lie If it's been my decision Why do I feel so sad? Sometimes I'm beat Sometimes I'm right Sometimes I'm wrong Sometimes I wanna die Sometimes I wanna die (x1000)
7.
Broken 01:16
Yes I've tried to wait it out and Many nights I've stayed awoken There's nothing I can do about it All I feel is broken Guess I'm better off without it I hope someday I will be okay For now I'll learn to hide it out So no one sees I'm broken
8.
Violence 02:37
I gotta dream up a thousand lies To get this feeling right off my mind I gotta dream up a thousand ways To brighten up my empty days But Violence I cannot touch it I gotta dream up a thousand words The ones I knew, I forgot them all I gotta dream up a thousand games To not get caught up in this haze But Violence I cannot touch it Well, I could dream up a thousand songs But I'm afraid they will not be heard And I could sleep for a thousand years But I would still have the same old fears about violence I cannot touch it Violence I cannot touch it
9.
Sorry 02:20
Sorry I've put up with you There's no courage in this, too Sorry I've put up with you I've tried There's no comfort in this place And I hate the life I waste I'm not sorry for the times I lied Sorry that I'm out too soon Sorry that I'm such a fool But I know that we ain't got much time There's no comfort in this place And I hate the life I waste I'm not sorry for the times I lied Sorry that I'm out too soon Sorry that I'm such a fool But I know that we ain't got much time There's no comfort in this place And I hate the life I waste I'm not sorry for the times I lied Sorry I've put up with you There's no courage in this, too Sorry I've put up with you I've tried There's no comfort in this place And I hate the life I waste I'm not sorry for the times I lied
10.
For Me 04:31
"Have you ever thought about suicide?" "Have I? Suicide? I've felt like dying, but not suicide. Not suicide." Sometimes I cannot wait for tomorrow Sometimes I am too scared to sleep Today I woke up to see No one is there for me Sometimes I think I am being followed Sometimes my mind's playing tricks on me Look out my window sill Someone just stands there, still Sometimes I cannot wait for tomorrow Sometimes I am too scared to sleep Today I woke up to see No one is there for me
11.
And they wanna shock you Probably wanna kill you It's easier said than done It's easier said than done And they wanna shock you Probably wanna kill you It's easier said than done It's easier said than done You'll die a lonesome With things that you keep on doing Die a lonesome With things that you keep on doing Die alone

LINER NOTES:

I recorded most of this in a room in a flat we shared with an Albanian family in an Arabic/Turkish neighborhood. Seen a knife fight and were on fire once (almost). Cool!
All was done on a laptop, recorded directly through a 1st gen Focusrite 6i6. Just a midi keyboard, DI guitar and no bass on the whole album (except "For Me" - bass for which I recorded in a garage in Ozerne, my hometown, back in 2012). All synths are software.
I started writing some of these songs back in 2012, I also attempted to record them around that time. Back then, the sound was just straight punk-rock. Then I shelved the whole thing. Originally these songs were part of a 30-song magnum opus titled "Clean Fun and Happy Accidents", which didn't happen, but gradually it morphed into "the 3 mixtapes" idea, which kinda didn't work, too.

Last month I took these songs and added some vocals, percussion, guitars and synths to them (most recorded through my newly purchased Klark Teknik comp and eq). Then I mixed and mastered the whole thing.
