  • T-Shirt/Apparel

    This shirt is printed on a 100% ring-spun cotton shirt by a local Nashville screenprinting company. It's super comfy. It may cause you to fall asleep standing up. The artwork was designed by Jen Pappas (jenpappasart.tumblr.com) and we are very proud of it. If you've read this far, we hope you know that all of the proceeds from this shirt are going towards printing and distributing our new album.

Do you wanna take those chances To find my name in the sun? Do you wanna lie on the back of a mountain Where the wolves do roam? Do you wanna drink til’ the paintings do sing Or do you wanna die before the dawn? You survived the winter and I survived the cold Just wanna let you know On the other side Does a loving feud have to be something more, Or will the rug muffle our yells Will the chipped paint on the walls ever dry? Will the room keep closing in? You smashed the doorframe And I’ll burn the halls Just wanna let you go Shall we build a bridge from door to door To help the postman on his route? Shall we tip-toe through forest and field To get the job done by ourselves? Gather stargazers and curious wanders On the other side

Here I am trapped in the embers Of the moment And the why

Sorry 04:38
And I wouldn’t mind it if I wasn’t lonely, but seems I like the way I’m living: going to pieces all alone and no one ever seems to know me. I am truly sorry I am truly sorry My heart don’t work like it used to. I can’t feel it but it’s pushing blood. Saving face and no one knows: I just never leave when I should. And I am truly sorry And I am truly sorry And I am truly sorry

The Silent 04:45
Start the fire under the sun Bring your dresses, we’ll burn every one Just whisper quietly and sort it out Sweet Intent Sweet Intent Gamble the silence before the ash Move the birds out before the crash Just whisper quietly and sort it out Sweet Intent Sweet Intent Don’t worry about it now Don’t worry about it now
5.
Take Care 02:17
God takes care of his own and I’m not one and I’m lost. Now that I’m full grown and done, I could do with a sleep but I won’t. Time takes care of us all and the wounds that heal too slow. Still recovering from that Last fall, oh why?
6.
Everything gold ain’t gonna shine, but babe you’re burning up tonight. Your heart’s as cold as the coast. Your veins are running with the wind that carry your thoughts out west. And I can’t smile in a quiet south I can’t liven up sorrowful Midwest And so, I say enough is enough I put up my guard and sent in my regards. It seems the lightest always falls, so we tread with heavy hearts on borrowed comforts after all. And I can’t smile in a quiet South I can’t liven up sorrowful Midwest So, I say enough is enough A storm pushed you to the edge: a sea of chemicals in your head, but I still know where you are. Pushing warm blood out your heart, collecting saints and thanking God And I can’t smile
