Hug Monster

My love isn’t good for everyone
It’s the pain from too much laughter
It’s a loaded pellet gun
My hug just might crush you in its grip
And when I kiss you on the lips
You might hate the taste
The hug monster
Might scare you away
I could try to translate the way I feel
And put the words down in a contract
To help you understand the deal
But I’m aware now of the consequences, see?
I won’t reveal that side of me
Until you sign your name
The hug monster
Sign your life away
Now you’re mine
Just you wait
There comes a time
For changing face

This Golden Hour

In the golden hour
As the sun sets
Ooh my body’s glowing
Might my eyes need readjusting?
Natural phenomena unfolding
Puts me in this contemplative state
All of these wonders I see
Woven together so intricately
Colors get brighter, then fade away
As if they had something important to say
And how ‘bout the things that you hear?
All of the sound waves that fall on your ear
Hearken the symphony of the sun
The final movement has just now begun
In this golden hour
There is silence
Ooh my ears are ringing
From the quiet of the moment
Darkness ‘round the corner
Best enjoy it
Soon enough they’ll turn on all the lights

Okay In The Afterlife
02:07
|

People come in crowds
And sing real loud
To praise the name
Of the one who knows you well
But you can burn in hell
If you reject this claim
He loves you
He will judge you
He could kill you dead
He could smite you
Or maybe delight you
He knows what’s in your head
Forget about today
It’ll be ok
In the afterlife
Or maybe this is it
It’s all we get
So enjoy the ride
I could never try to explain it
Why do you have to be superstitious?
We may never know where this train will go
Take this moment and do something with it

You and me
Maybe we disagree
But that don’t mean
We can’t be family
We might be
Seeing things differently
But I could never say a thing to hurt you
You and me disagree
But I could never say a thing to hurt you
Brother, don’t you know that that’s the truth?
Maybe we disagree
But I could never say a thing to hurt you
Sister, don’t you know that that’s the truth?

Losing Confidence
04:02

I couldn’t let it go
So I wound up alone
And now the house is sold
And I keep getting old
I used to be fine in my old state of mind
Now I’m lost in the physical world
I could’ve thrown out these ideas long ago
(How’d it come to this? How’d it come to this?)
If I had had more confidence, but I don’t know
(Losing confidence, losing confidence)
I’m feeling sorry for myself
Don’t pay attention to my health
And I’ve got one thing on my mind
Who do I have to blame but me?
With no one there to oversee
I’ve always had to improvise

Just A Man
03:06
|

|
I have wandered miles of road
And the more I see, the more I question what I know
‘Cause in my life, there seem to be
Endless pathways as far as I can see
Don’t listen to a word they say
It isn’t just another day
I travelled all the way across this land
Just so today I could understand
I’ve got to shut my eyes and rest my mind
Try to leave it all behind
My body’s all that I can have
I remind myself, I’m just a man
All you have to do
To witness something much bigger than you
Is lift your chin and then your eyes
To see the planets spiraling the skies
I’m just a man,
Don’t you understand
I’m doing what I can
But, I’m just a man
Just a man man man man man
Just a man man man man man
Just a man man man man man
I’m just a man

Trail Magic Nashville, Tennessee
In the Appalachian wilderness, Trail Magic is the term for a felicitous act of goodwill bestowed upon a weary traveller. After the dissolution of their previous band, Taylor Zachry and Justin Maurer (formerly of Colorfeels) quickly found a shared appreciation for the balance between the purity of the musical experience and a “serious-but-not-too-serious” approach to lyric writing. ... more
