Drag me home I don't want to be alone Cause tonight I'm gone Straight through to the bone Carry me, oh, carry me Carry me out of the cold Red Tracks in the Snow

I'll buy you Flowers To put in your hair To distract you from my eyes When you ask what's under there All these thoughts in my head Too much alone for me to bear Try to understand Teach me how to share Cause I I love you I'll take you out to Dinner Just what I can afford I'll give you my jacket However bad the storm I'll get you anything That you should ever need To tear your eyes away From things you shouldn't see Cause I I love you Cause the world went silent For a little while She just stood there And watched you smile And my mother told me Close your mouth Unless you want All your words to just fall out And I know I can be A little much But I can't get past This little crush

Glaciers 04:40
Well be sure to write And send plenty of pictures Getting drunk with the Glaciers Be sure to come home Be sure to visit Me down by the river God knows you'll miss me With the trees and the foliage Jumpin' off by the bridge Just remember this I'll be here for you Yeah I promise to Remember twenty twelve Gettin' drunk in your basement It was the end of the world Dropped you down the stairs I swear you hit your head Yeah well I'm sorry about that My girl

Northcountry 03:47
Yeah the bark learned to grow Higher up on the trees Couldn't stand to hear me yelling At the birds and the bees But the branches came around Tried to calm me down But I scratched and kicked Until I was free I was lost in the forest With my hands growing cold I couldn't feel my brain Under all of that snow And the wind felt warm as I froze Yeah the wind felt warm as I froze I listened to her scream In different prose, in different verse Singing me to sleep Soft enough it didn't hurt And like a prick on my arm Yeah she smiled Said, some along So I yelled and ran Until my legs didn't work Civilization Why did you bury me In constant stimulation Repeat repeat repeat It's never-ending It's never-ending What did Mercedes say To make me buy her cars Yeah she told me I'm a sell out Said you'll learn to love sports bars So buy your Tracy Chapman Cause you won't get far Between here and the woods The road's got pot holes and scars So relax and lay back Take a load off those knees No one will know you're gone Not even the birds and the bees Said don't worry, just listen Take your pills and remedies Forget about the road, the wind The bark and the trees But I want to remember I just want more I want to travel from the desert To the western shore I want to see lions And elephants I want to drop from the sky I want to live out of tents I want to see love I want to see war I want to see hunger I just want more I want to feel the wind On the back of my eyes I want to hear the leaves whistle I want to watch the snow cry I want to watch the grass grow I want to plant my own seeds I want to go home I miss the birds and the bees (I miss the Northcountry)

I'll be in The darkest places In the back side of my head In concentrated spaces Wishing I was dead Like nails stuck on a chalkboard It hurts more than you'd guess This might more than I can handle I'm not as strong as I profess Like origami sculptures We fold when we should break Stuck here in the past year Is more than I can take Complementary roses Sit around on Christmas day Yeah I loved you through the winter And I'll love you to my grave You'll find me in the snow Trying to ice my broken heart To save it from the wolves And the creatures of the dark I'll be sleeping in the ice here What's the point if I can't talk To the girl I fell in love with Who holds my broken parts Denial is a word that we should never breath But it sneaks right through our lungs So concentrate and expedite The thoughts that keep you up at night Sleep through completion Three two one Curiosity might kill but he's a clever one Yeah he's still got five more lives What he doesn't know Is that it starts to take its toll And it eats you out From the inside Yeah life's just more confusing than I thought it'd be It's like eating Alphabet Soup All the letters float around Different consonants and vowels Spelling things I though I knew Oh but one thing that I know is I can't take much more The snow looks warmer by the day So I'll make a bed Lay down my head And get some final rest Don't wake me up I know I'm safe

Cape Cod 04:19
Cape Cod won't you Miss me Sitting, dreaming Quietly There's a bug on the corner of my mattress He heard all of my secrets now he's laughing He said, "Boy you better learn to move past this All the silver and the glitter and the plastic." New York don't you Love me Hometown, settle down Quietly There's a bear in the middle of the staircase He said "Boy you better find what's your right place Get the Hell out the way and out of my space Better love what you do or it's a damn shame."

My hair is falling out My teeth are biting down On these words stuck in my mouth That I just can't pronounce Swallowed down Like broken sounds Your picture's on the wall Of the inside of my head You know that I adore All the monsters that I fed Under my bed No I don't want to let the time by Cause we both know How time flies So I'll keep it at my bedside The time we had Was just yours and mine I'm knocking at the door Ringing my own neck Hoping to ask for Questions to address Please oh please don't forget I'll see you in a week or less Cleaning up the floor Mopping my own blood Grabbing ice and water Filling up the tub But you keep me here my love Cause I don't want to let the time by Cause we both know How time flies So I'll keep it at my bedside The time we had Was just yours and mine My nose is pressed against The cloudy window pane Watching cars pass Counting Drops of Rain Can't wait to see you again No I can't wait to see you again

BLUE MOON 05:56
BLUE MOON Tee shirts Can't stop thinking about her I can't stop thinking about her White leaves Red flowers Kicking down the street Hold me while I sleep I can't move on Bloodshot eyes Runny nose Yeah I kissed you on the cheek Held your hand as mine froze Broken hearts Blackened soles I'd walk until my feet fell off To make up for what I did wrong I can't move on It's just a bad dream But right now I can't fall asleep It's the fire Ignited and burning Excited and yearning To prove itself The shades are drawn To hide myself Up on the shelf With the pot peri and CD's I hope you miss me Well I'm sorry but I love you

about

This was my first work as Boy Goliath, and was a labor of love. I wrote and recorded all songs except Glaciers and Cape Cod over the course of a two month winter recess and finished the mixing and mastering process in the dorms of SUNY Potsdam.
