So I reached out to the scene of the crime Felt so good I pulled myself through for a while. A big house with turns and rooms with no names The windows weren’t open but it didn’t stop the light. ...and I will never cry my tears fall to the floor you’ve broken me inside I couldn’t ask for more. So pride held me down while your love kept me warm Life all around once again I am born New sunsets kill old rainy days Wise words were spoken I will never be the same. The cold wind that you're standing in, you brought the rain when you let me in, and your shadow stays, with friends who pray, who bow their heads, and look away.

Ezra 04:12
U keep me up at night I cried when u were born A mix of fun and fright I really should have known When hope is out of sight U keep me here and sane When she and I just fight U laugh through all the pain My prince my alabi My zest my suicide My boy my dancing fool My highest calling.. U Make Me Feel… U Make Me Feel... I keep thinking of death U cried when u were born My falling I regret Forgive me when ur grown When love is wearing thin U give me a new start I wipe I clean ur skin U scream u clean my heart Feel something when numbness sets in Reveal something when dumbness gets the best Of me

So you threw away all your own promises but you kept the one about us dreaming, and if it wasn’t for you right now well maybe i’d still be believing and as we make the final plans, you read your books in the evening. There maybe no new ideas but there is new ways of making meaning. You come from left field walk through my door turn on your heels lay down your chords and you sing on my chorus stay in my songs I’ll keep you here, I’ll keep you here. Everytime I wake up and you're lying next to me, I can see our new heart, beating in the morning light. The months before the wave, yeah I felt like i could be a living man and you danced around my walls, and put to shame the mystery of Notre Dame.

Either/Or 02:42
Sacred or Secular Right/Left, Near or Far Spiritual / Molecular Radical / Traditional Medical / Miraculous One of them, or one of us Evolvin' or created dust Revealin' or confusin' us If I let you go Will you disappear without a single track If you let me go Will you let me in if I come crawling back Personal or Political Run away or give it all Civil or criminal Short straw or standin' tall Black or white, Love or hate From the heart or from the head Right now or fashionably late Lock down or liberate If I let you go Will you disappear without a single track If you let me go Will you let me in if I come crawling back Either/Or we’re driven up the wall now Either/Or is rather out of touch now Either/Or we’re running out of time now Either/Or is out of date now If I let you go Will you disappear without a single track If you let me go Will you let me in if I come crawling back If I love you so Will you disappear somewhere along the track If you love me so Will you let me go & find my own way back

Pick up your wings at the end of the table Leave your old dry skin to die in the shadow I don’t walk on water with no one to follow I don’t kiss the sky with nothing to swallow What I did wrong it wasn’t right What I did wrong it wasn’t right Cut my Sails and hold the tide I can’t wait to give my love again. Where were you when I started breathing did you catch up on sleep while she was healing We both know the death that helps us die and went out to sea on a bed of lies I believe you I believe you I believe you.

Sometimes 01:58
All good that's what he said Then walked, then walked away Was it all in my head I thought we had a reasonable day I thought about it more Then thought about it less Sometimes u gotta walk Sometimes u gotta stay The prejudice was ripe Some careless words she said I could have stayed and fight But chose to walk away I thought about it more Then thought about it less Sometimes u gotta walk Sometimes u gotta stay Her friends said to be strong She must walk away Betrayal of love is wrong But they’ll support her either way She thought about it more Then thought about it less Sometimes u gotta walk Sometimes u gotta stay Yes she's the one He loves He'll never walk away Take back your ill-found words He'll stand his ground today He thought about it more Then thought about it less Sometimes u gotta walk Sometimes u gotta stay Sometimes there isn't more And life seems meaningless Sometimes u gotta walk... This time He's gonna stay

Fix it 04:26
Among my whole lifetime of regrets Simply none compared to this Lustful moment almost sentenced me To half a life without your kiss Don’t know why There’s no excuse Do know that I never stopped loving you I broke your heart One blow, a million pieces That dream we had Don’t know how to fix it Life was so simple when we met We walked the aisle, made promises But you don’t know which tale time will tell This bittersweet, beautiful mess I won’t try & Deny this guilt Just hopin’ that we can still rebuild I broke your heart One blow, a million pieces That dream we had Don’t know how to fix it I broke your heart One blow, a million pieces This life we’ve made I hope we can live it

I can never reach you You already hold my hand Belly in the water Filling up my heart with sand I could never teach you You already understand Nothing else can change you Change is what we all demand. In the dark - where I wait All the noise - i could make all the stars - that you made before me. I can never love you not without letting go lifting up to heaven calling out for help below I can never break you you’re the strength I need right now moving with the water going where we’re not allowed. Pins of light, light my way I reach for her, but I’m out of space There is no I - only we, I felt the waves releasing me. All the noise I can make.

God 03:10
God Almighty God of war God our armies, they adore Whose blessings only flow to those Who spread the lies I don't believe... I needed him When I was 16 God of mercy God of all God our broken hearts long for Whose love extends to enemies I know that face I've called her name... When you meet this God You don't stay the same When you meet this God You don't stay the same

about

For the past year we've each chosen and worked on 5 songs to record and release on the same album. It's called Both/And (thanks to aaronnebauer.bandcamp.com for writing a beautiful song of the same name) because there is life beyond Black or White, Art or Science, Sacred or Secular, Capitalism or Socialism, etc.

It's been a much needed impetus for us to work on some new material, but also to look at some old songs that should have been, but never were, recorded. We hope you enjoy them.
