See your fake ID. Heard it all before, I know it's the last time I never knew more but I now know the sunshine See your fake ID. See your fake ID, your fake ID running away See your fake ID. your fake ID running away Out there on the porch drinking the red wine Out there in the forests, garbage, we dive down See your fake ID... I never knew more did you want the last time Owning all the dark, pushing all the lack guys See your fake ID... See your fake ID, your fake ID running away See your fake ID. your fake ID then running then play Peeing on the rooftops fog under moonshine In all the dark darkness on the city city line See your fake ID. Climbing on the rooftops fog and the black lines then we're back at Mortville: ONO and blacktop times See your fake ID. I will break the window I know your bird and I will break the window before we go I know your dad and I will break the window before we go I know your bird and I will break the window before we go See your fake ID, your fake ID running away

Hate your fences, paint your fences Rotting, rotting Hate to say it, I hate to say it But I don't think I'll see you again Dye your hair. Underwear and all them places I have never been I'm gonna run. Run run run run run I won't wait anymore Hate to say it, I hate to say it But I think I'm gonna walk out the door Sometimes those houses look brand new Even though I've been here my whole life Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna die I hate to say it. I hate to say it But I don't wanna turn around I hate to say It. I hate to say it Cuz I hate to see you on the ground...

Sunlight streams through closed blinds Streams through closed eyes Blinding you Some times I wasted my time trying to find a way to you When I’m walking on the sun, when I’m going number one I’m crazy. Baby I’m crazy. Maybe I’m crazy enough for two So much time I wasted on you You’re older now, but still so new I’m crazy for you leaving soon. When I’m walking on the sun. When I’m going number one Crazy for you. Crazy for you. You. Yew. Ewe. I’m walking on a- I’m going on a thin- I’m all done

Bye bye, see ya crystal eye I burnt it back in the city, burnt black in the tide Bye bye, see ya crystal lie I burnt black in the city, burnt black in the sky (running around and the sun and the sea and the green on the ground) Ooh Grain elevators, brains on the street, trains on the street Drains in - See ya crystal light I burnt it back in the city, burnt black in the tide Bye bye. See ya crystal lie I burnt it back in the city, burnt black in the tide Ooh I run around and down and down I burnt it down, down I burnt it down Ooh Burn it down I burnt it down, down down Bye bye, see ya crystal eye I burnt it black in the city, burnt black in the sky Bye bye, see ya crystal lie I burnt it down

The Weeds Grow 01:50

The weeds grow they grow so hard I know the weeds grow on the side of my back yard (I can hear you in the baselines thumping) On the side of the highway and so they always grow (I can hear you in the rain dropping on everything round me) Where we go we'll go home (I can hear you in the back seats humping) Digging it in my back yard And oh, no son of Verona in front of your car But you make you're driving still notice They're by my back yard They sold them for long days on the farm Set fire to the farm In my back yard They grow

all that sight, all that sound all that oil and rain on the ground I look and the weeds grow through it all the weeds grow… They grow. They, they grow. Go, they grow So, why I them, why can't I be like them? I can. yeah yeah yeah Someone told me I can't but I will not listen to them Your piercing behavior your lovely neighbor said they're leaving soon teaching guitar lessons, the full moon sends its blessings to you just like them I will not rescue them I care but they're hard I care in the backyard

I'm Almost Done (Overdrive) 02:45
lyrics
buy track
Told you before I'm not the pouring rain. Told you before it's like you're pulling onto me Now I'm inside like the mushrooms in the cave I know you wanna go back to the place where we used to roam Back to the house of our lies. We have the rest of our lives Leaves blowing leaves all the round. I'm almost done, shadows found I'm almost done Told you like a shadows falls on me I don't know where you wanna be - the forest of glass or the fountain you're into I don't know what you wanna say The festival high. We had the rest of our lives Shadows blow leaves on the ground. Sun casting light all around I'm almost done I'm almost done, don't you know? I'm almost done Yeah pouring rain. Told you before like a shadow I'm almost done I'm not saying I told you before like a castle We're not done with our lives. We have the rest of our lives Bridges are blowing and falling Down Don't you know?

We're Done (Wild Son) 04:29
lyrics

I can't help but think we are done. I threw your ashes in the sun I can't help but think we are through. But I know that I will miss you But it's all right again. But it'll rise again And I know the flowers growing in the mud are thinking It'll rise again yeah it will rise again through you I can't help thinking it's rotting but I love you and in my back yard you never play I tried to invite you to play in my back yard But you just can't help the straying. Straining again. I'm burning again I hate the city. I can't help but think it's so hard. Invite you to play in my back yard But you trampled the flowers down. And I said No you don't respect the sound coming out of my mouth The sun'll rise again. The sun'll rise again and I know the flowers gonna grow again The sun'll rise again, the sun'll rise again for you I know this world will never stop spinning

about

This album is about goodbyes.

This album is closing a chapter in my artistic life that began with my album Color Was Everything. The seeds were planted before it, with relationships and friendships.

Sunsets are about goodbyes.

I lost people to drug and alcohol addiction. I lost people to mental illness. I lost them to abusive pasts. I lost people. It really hurt. It was hard to deal with. I felt hopeless. I clung to people in the hope that I wouldn't lose them. I tried to help. Sometimes I tried too hard and it only ended up hurting.

I blame our culture for many of my losses. I blame the hierarchal system that allows people to get away with abusing children if they have power and status, the system that prevents people from being able to help those children because they have too much on their plate already.

I blame our culture for promoting mindless entertainment and the idea that temporary pleasures like clubbing, partying and drugs are the reward we should all be working toward. Everybody's working for the weekend, but what about the work that doesn't pay?

I'm tired of blaming and I want to figure out a way to fix this.

This album is me sitting on a hill by a tree at sunset, saying goodbye to the day. And this day was particularly long and particularly hard. This album is a journey from one morning to the end of the day. A journey that took years.

I have no idea what tomorrow brings, but I know that it's time to let this go. One thing I know about tomorrow: It will bring a sunrise and in those early morning hours, I will feel good.
