noidea87 Super strong melodies like ear candy! It definitely hits like a solid throwback to 80's college pop rock... Favorite track: Portal to the Blues.

No Way Out 02:37
First step: start over again throw everything you had in the bin and if you make it all the way to the end you'll wish you never did I cut my teeth in a room all alone forgot the life that I had back home I hate myself when I get stoned Take it slow let it go Make it last Pretty soon life's in the past Downright broken out of my mind but hoping there's still a way out of this mess I don't see things the way you do I suffer from a fetal follow-through loose ends and useless friends pay anxiety like dividends I take a walk to clear things up drop the fill line on that cup walk the same path I did before come home to the same locked door
2.
I'm Alone 02:51
If I tried to explain what's going on in my brain you wouldn't understand if I tried to impart what's going on in my heart you wouldn't understand the sun is out but I feel rain the day is new but nothing's changed I look alright but I'm insane I'm alone Then again, now and then I feel alright - I see some friends but it won't last long And it starts out with a crack soon it's a full-blown heart attack but it won't last long nothing's ever gonna change I might as well just get used to the pain
3.
Deny Me 03:10
I've been waiting such a long time for you to come around to my side but no matter how much I try it's true I see it in your passing glance and in the way that you hold your hands I know the feeling's through you used to call my name now nothing is the same I have myself to blame I never wanted something that I couldn't have good for you - deny me it's good for me to suffer like I do good for you - deny me I go to work, I come back home you're next to me, but I'm alone I touch you and you turn to stone you used to share what you thought about every dream, every passing cloud now you act like I'm not allowed to know you used to hold my hand now I don't understand this wasn't the plan

Watching murder on the TV reading about death in the news my cell phone is an ennui machine a portal to the blues sleep schedule is nil and I don't got any pills I'm too bored to do nothing about being bored she's been asleep for a while now but I just can't lay down I've been pacing for miles now but I'm still stranded in this town I need a good kick in the ass it's so easy to say "what's the use" I'll have another beer or two and enter the portal to the blues
