Digital Track

Every Other Time: Be-sides from Every Other Time is available now at whatever price you'd like to set. This 6-track EP includes songs we recorded in Baltimore with Brian McTernan while recording Only Every Time, plus a couple demos from our home studio in Springfield, IL.

Each of these songs were close contenders for the album, and we're happy to share them with you! The download also includes album artwork and handwritten lyric sheets.

Please remember, whatever you choose to pay will go straight to us, the band, and will likely be used to repair our van/equipment and help us get back out on the road very soon.

Thank you for your support!

about

Alchemy was another song that just didn't feel quite in place with Only Every Time. This was written and recorded around the same time as Your Belong to Me and Don't Die Digging.

lyrics

All along
Been picking up the pieces that I've
Broken
Now I stay asleep because
It's all wearing me out

A shift so small
And everything is crumbling
My heart
Petrified in front of me
It's all wearing me out

So help me
I don't know if I'm a man or a machine
Comon and help me
Because I just feel anything
I'm always breaking
I'm not the man I wanted to be

Time won't wait
My past is catching up with me
Realized
With sweet and simple alchemy
No more surprises

Always the same excuse
What more could I lose

Always the same excuse
Pushing the pulp right on through

Always the same excuse
It's not my place to choose
What more could I lose
