The last wood of the season burning
Another winter - see you on the other side
After everything has died
The last leaves of the season falling
Soon the air will be filled with dark and doubt
And the fire's going out
The last night of…

Hey y’all let’s go tanning, under the new fake sun
Let’s spin the brand new single, if you can’t hide we run
From the safety of knowing
Look outside it is snowing
Who knew it got so cold, who knew it got so cold,
And now I caught the…

One of the first songs I wrote for the album. The lyrics are stream of conscience that I don't think mean anything at all. I don't know, maybe they do.
It ends the album purely because the lyrics say "It's over..."

My 90's punk attempt. Interrupters/Rancid feel.. What does any of that have to do with Mark? Not a gosh darn thing... I just liked the name A Relative Term.

I feel the keys and pop feel of this one screams of Tim's influences.
Like if we both listened to the same song, this would be my take away vs his.
Lyric content? You guessed it... Meta.

Castaway. The Tom Hanks Movie.
* Disclaimer: I understand that most of the songs on this album are pitchy and hard to listen to. I recorded all of the vocals on Feb 27 and 28th as single takes. Most of them stream of conscience nonsense.

Here we stand beneath the sky
Take my hand as time rolls by
Here we stand, nobody else around
Did we land on solid ground?
Along the ledge
Side by side
So near the edge
Of the great divide
For Heaven's sake
I have no doubt
The steps…

Another cold night in Harbortown
They gather in the snow with fresh tracks in their hands
After daylight has long gone down
They find the warmest room just like they always planned
Brothers in arms, another battle won
Raise a glass for…

For Kristen...
We were immortal, you and I
Alongside my sea, beneath your sky
No need to fear tomorrow
Now I see our time was borrowed
I'll sit here rhyming by your side
And play till we see a lower tide
Lay out the course we'll travel…

Tie your laces up and around
Step outside without making a sound
Just breathe in time with your feet touching down
Bird of prey way up in the sky
If you ran fast enough, could you fly?
Just breathe in time and pray for the high
Running…

The sight of hands wringing, a worrying glance
you feel pins and needles, seems all left to chance
When I lose control of, the marbles and pegs
It’s all an illusion, all in your head – if you don’t mind
The depth of the panic, a bargain…

Bored and surfing for some brand new toys or vintage microphones
But this one’s gonna take me down the rabbit hole
What is going through their mind sometimes you…

Driving in we cross the golden gate
Heading forward and then back again
Here’s the spirit of the old cross streets
Won’t be staying but I’m sure we’ll be, around around around
We knew everything and were so sure of
Pockets full of triptiks…

Made it through another year
Still don’t know why I’m here
Make some music drink some beer
Sounds alright to me
Loved ones leave
Friends come then go
Everything can change so quick
Don’t let the bullshit bring you down
Just enjoy this…

A paper empire, built off our sweat, a too well traveled trail.
A river’s rapid flow that carries you, well beyond the pale.
Now you’ve gotten what you need
Fairy tales forgotten
And you taken what you please
And paid us next to nothing…

Dust of the needle ground to dull
The cast of the street light drawn so pale
Motion is timeless, impossible speed
Contained in the rows we planted the seed
Counting my fingers, an abacus sort
Pointing my index out
You’re so warm it…

RPMers I salute you
Ice ice everywhere like a skating rink
I don’t wanna go nowhere
I don’t wanna think
I’ll just stay inside press record and sing
RPM is here
it’s 2am what else to do
Make up rhymes strum a chord
Find a good groove…

Piece together phrases missing letters
Sharpening your senses like my scissors
Prime the Trojan horse and battering ram
Find an empty vault instead of the plans
Like a magazine, cut up lines to feed
A ransom note for you to
Read and then…

Polishing the silver tongue and straightening the tie
Born to wear the lions mane and mingle with the vile
White Mercedes on the lawn the party’s in the back
And by the time the guests are gone your eyes are painted black.
Racing to the…
