Loose Cannon 04:37
This man's a mess He's been drinking late again Rubbing cheeks with the man in red Slams a door Finds his battered punching bag The only way he can clear his head He calls the girl he loves He knows she once loved him too Sets off his loose cannon, loose cannon Sets off his loose cannon, loose cannon She blocks the call Sick of hearing drunken thoughts He's not her responsibility In later hours She will dream of her close friends And what they're thinking in their sleep And she knows their thoughts are hers And if not, well... She'll set off her loose cannon, loose cannon Set off her loose cannon, loose cannon He sleeps as well As any log A broken limb Newly cast off His god's in drag His mind in chains He has no thoughts He has no name Let's man this ship Send ports crashing to the ground Take your share, for what it's worth If the sea won't be our end And our costumes still won't fade And our masters still won't sleep And our heads just still won't sleep Then set off your loose cannon, loose cannon Set off your loose cannon, loose cannon Set off your loose cannon, loose cannon Set off your loose cannon, loose cannon

Wake Up 04:34
Come Come into the water You know I am no swimmer But won't you swim with me So cold When it gets to the nighttime There's beasts in the tree line Come make a fire with me And oooohhhhhh Can I wake up With you-ohhhhhhh Can I wake up Five dogs Stand in the clearing They won't stop their barking I think they're calling for me Just rest We'll be there by sun down And when the moon comes round You'll be walking with me And ooohhhh Can I wake up With you-ooohhhh Can I wake up? There's a man..in my thoughts His face is blurred but his suit is sharp And in his hands is what I thought was lost A fragment of our broken jaw A key to a boat in a port in a city And a hastily scribbled map to the Island we sailed from Now here's my boat..here's the sea And the number of waves between you and me Getting fewer and fewer, race through the surf Pieces of puzzles from what we thought was worthless Now the sun is setting through the sails, I can sleep And hold together the ashes of the dreams we keep Holding onto And ooohhhh Can I wake up With you-ooohhhh Can I wake up? And ooohhhh Can I wake up With you

Evergreens 03:43
Fire burning through the evergreens Smoke billowing and floating South I stood facing the red autumn leaves No Crimson word escaped my mouth The fire service did their job and took Water from the lake beside your house And all the faces that surrounded shook And asked where God was now Well you were perfect like autumn leaves Bright and shimmering with strength, you know I felt your beauty inbetween the trees And was lost within your glow But you were not for me nor I for you Our summer love was buried in the snow We stopped basking in red hazy hue And the woods were all a-glow You were slipping into fever dreams Sweating, shivering and shaking, oh All your Devils bursting through the seams You looked like hell and I was shaken up I lit a candle just to show my love And slipped away without a sound I lit a candle just for you my love On the day your house burned On the day your house burned On the day the woods burned On the day your house burned down, down, down

Maybe I've found myself on a ledge And I don't have the courage To push myself off the edge Maybe I'm too scared of what I can't see But I'm just too tired to focus On the world around me You said every moment is alive But I wanna be there to feel it, so Lock the summer, lock the summer Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away Lock the summer, lock the summer Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away Maybe I've been a little too cold But I'm still trying to process the Stories and lies I've been told But baby, I'm fine, yeah I'll be alright At least that's half the words I say To myself in the night You said to be is to survive But it's getting harder to think straight, so Lock the summer, lock the summer Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away Lock the summer, lock the summer Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away But in the moment I am confused It is a choice I cannot choose Or an opportunity to take back All those years I lost to her To her I'd swear my memories are all lies But you say it's me, and I'm here, and I'm never going to go away, so Lock the summer, lock the summer Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away Lock the summer, lock the summer Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away Lock the summer, lock the summer Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away Lock the summer, lock the summer Lock the summer up till winter starts rolling away

about

Life really hasn't gone the way that I planned, and this second EP is testament to that. It pits two of my oldest songs against some of my newest ones, showing how my life has shifted between them.
