Well, alright I guess I'll see you on the other side of this bridge above the waters of a river that divides distant souls that once were close are no longer intertwined they unwind And I can barely see your face as it fades into my memory Still, I swore I saw you sleeping with your love beneath a tree In a forest unfamiliar filled with faces young and free When I got up close a thought arose It became so clear to me This was not reality as you faded to the obscurity of a dream When I awoke you were nowhere to be seen And round, and round, and round we tumble down with the sound of something lost that can't be found Was it ever there? So give me evidence you still exist as I sift through this mess up in my head Can't find nothing here Suddenly, I remember that morning in September the morning that we met And we sung our song so softly as people drank their coffee and smoked their cigarettes And when we reach the end of the path ahead which we tread Well, I know you'll be my friend and we'll meet again And if Chicago winters grow to cold I'll hit the road You'll be the first to know when I'm on my way back home And I'll see you then Yeah, I'll see you then

Lost without a plan Off in Nowhere Land Dreaming only for today To tell you the truth I don't know why I choose To pass the time away Off in Nowhere Land Away we run to play pretend Every adventure we soon forget Is it a nightmare, is it a dream? We're tangled in this twisted fantasy Why would we leave? We were made to believe that the fun would never end Lost in nowhere land Indulging past our hearts content Never thinking of the day We'll wonder where this went Lost in nowhere land We're lost in nowhere land
4.
I've been waiting all my life to break it down to you I've been wasting all my time just to find something to do I've been hoping holding you would bring some kind of peace I've been hoping holding you would bring something close to me But if the waters too deep and if the wall is too high, well babe I'm still learning I spend days just thinking bout the way I'm going down If you wanna come babe it'd be nice to have you around If the walls could some how move, maybe you'd run and I'd run too But if the waters too low and if the bridge is falling well I would wait a million years, to listen to your happy tears

A wifi router, a sharks head, a skull, and a photo of carrie fisher on the mantle Bare walls! Smiling faces! These kids feel so much I don't know how they handle it
6.
I'd rather be in love, but this is something different and I do everything I can to be good enough I see the way you look at her your eyes are shining a circle on the way I fight an uphill battle one in a million lonely people wake up pieces of unknown feelings I'd rather be in love, but this is something different and so i call you up I'm standing in the kitchen you say you want me there i lie and say I'm busy making hot sauce and ramen one in a million lonely people wake up pieces of unknown feelings
7.
I'm meeting you Again Seeing myself Through a friend When I feel low You told me, "Just take it slow and Move on" There wasn't space Where you grew up But you listened Since I could talk When I feel low You told me, "Just take it slow and Move on" I called you miles from home You told me it's not about Being strong, just Move on
8.
You sing a song for the people now I wonder how You forgot about All of the time That I had changed But somehow now you're still the same I thought you'd care more I thought you'd try I got excited For the first time Seasons change and I think of you I wonder how you are After all you put me through Still in love with you Funny voice and pretty mouth Everything I'm not What's the point of being all I want When I thought you'd care more I thought you'd try I got excited For the first time
9.
A warm feeling Behind my eyes Like an embrace On the inside And such a sad thing it is What makes me feel alive Is truly not mine And when we speak I can't look you in the eye Somehow I'm afraid You might read my mind And god, help me, if you did There's a reason I try to keep it all hid You could say love is a serious illness And I am very sick But you got what you want And sorry's all I get From your lips I can't talk to my friends about I know they feel the same about it
10.
Why are you so sad, fireman? You did everything you could to save my cat It's her time at last I know that every second matters you still stick around Down below her ashes scatter and mix with the ground Face it, no one knows it's their time Taste the golden rays of sunshine I know better now
11.
Being stuck between here and there Being stuck between here and anywhere else Standing open I think I might have some potential Closed shut I don't take myself seriously enough In this day and age apathy is overplayed I have a duty as an artist To avoid being clichéd On what better conditions could care lay antecedent than for the purpose of injecting the world with meaning? Who am I to think myself equipped to light a fire i know can not be lit Gotta get my head out of the clouds and come back down to earth where I've got a life to live
12.
Sitting down to enjoy my drink, While sipping it I do not think, I drop it on the floor Rest in Peace Getting on my hands & knees The spill it turns into the sea, Perspective is a marvelous thing The pull rug turns into a forest, The ceiling fan it hums a chorus so consistently the wind can't keep up Furniture becoming plateaus the US southwest couldn't rival, it's all laid out right here in my head And when life gets so bad you cannot cope with it just find something that's been ignored by it and hone in, think about world within the stories you told as a kid the wonders in your soul no wonder it won't go Think of this house as a fortress, set into it's locked coordinates, Its all laid out right here in my head counter-tops becoming battlements imaginary men they fight atop it they're dying for what they believe When life gets so bad you cannot cope with it just find something that's been ignored by it and hone in, think about world within the stories you told as a kid the wonders in your soul no wonder it won't go ahead not another bi-ped I feel real alive kid i feel real alive
13.
Curry stained tablecloth Stitches coming undone Blown out boombox Snuck around my loved one All the time I had Ticks away in this fad Under dim light I examine glazed eyes No I can't go unfilled sounds stay I fall apart in this cafe How could color feel oh so grey I fall apart Long strained roiboos My pulse elevates White dust placebo Both your hands they shake Smoke falls down your nose What happened to your prose Three weeks time I'm gone Laid awake every dawn
14.
Side by side out on the porch steps Just come inside and we'll work it out We should have left it all in Philly Instead of dragging it out for so long Blue eyes, did we even try? Blue eyes, looking back in time
15.
Go back home The last place left to run to When you're cold And the world's been all too unkind Home Then you're old Youth is a shadow stretching out behind you No alone You're mother used to hold you when you'd cry Alone Lost Forgotten Your place In this world Mon ami C'est la vie How lucky are you of all things It's so strange You've gone there and back again Still the same There's the tree I used to climb Strange Can't stay long Running late to where I should've been Brought my song It's about all the things I've left behind It's been a long Time Coming You know What I mean When I sing Mon ami You're loved there above all other things

about

This is a compilation record of demos from artists/ friends/ musicians from the Richmond, Virginia area. We asked each artist to send one unfinished demo to us so that we could mix and master the songs, as best we could, and form a compilation project. Most of these demos, with a few exceptions, were recorded by the individual artists themselves in home studio setups. We are grateful to have been allowed the opportunity to work on our friends' songs and share them!

We believe that music is something that is meant to be shared freely and to benefit others, so we decided to donate any profits made from this project to a charity called "No More Dysphoria." Here's a description from the "No More Dysphoria" website:

No More Dysphoria: We’re a queer-run 501(c)3 non profit with the goal of helping trans + non-binary individuals financially through major aspects of their transitions. We aim to help in any way possible, whether it be donating a binder or helping fund Hormone Replacement Therapy (along with anything and everything in between).
