New recording after being forced to take a few weeks off due to personal health issues. It’s a little all-over-the-place (hence the name) but I’m excited to share it with you fine folks all the same.

Special props to my buddy Karl Ridgeway who laid down a wicked solo from 1:48-2:10. Otherwise, this was a solo effort.

Here’s the lyrics. Not my best work, but… :)

---

Shorty, you have weapons and you use them without hesitation.
Don’t pretend you’re helpless when you’re not.
You’ve taken something that you never had a right to ask for
A girl like you gets everything she wants.

You are only offering your hand because you want to prove you can care for someone other than yourself.
Or maybe I am just a lucky sucker, in the right place at the wrong time.

And you know that you could tell me anything at all that’s on your mind.
I have always been here to support you.
You tell me that you miss me and I really wish I could believe you,
But I recall the last time.

You have nothing you could offer.
I’ve already offered more.
This is how I’m really feeling, if you’re wondering.

Woman this is something I don’t want to have to say again.
You’re going to have to trust me if we’re ever going to act as friends.
And words are not enough,
I want your actions to agree with them.
You can’t just ask me to believe you.

I remember thinking you were different than the ones before you.
Don’t go proving my suspicions wrong.

I’m sorry for the things I say.
Sometimes I speak before we think.
Should think I would have learned by now,
But I’m still figuring out what drives me.

My mind is there with you.
You’re the only place I am.
My lungs they burn for you.
Its forever.
