Reluctant 08:08
I'm reluctant to be here But I'm reluctant to leave There's really nothing I need here But I'm not sure what I need I'm reluctant to take these Don't know what they'll do to me There's really nothing for me here I've had enough, thank you please All my better days have hung me out to dry Loud enough to calmly cause a scene Smart enough to walk away, at least I tried They failed to see the worth in me I'm reluctant to be here But I'm reluctant to leave I offer nothing So don't get accustomed to me I'm reluctant to be here I'm reluctant to leave There's really nothing I need here But I'm not sure what I need I'm reluctant to be here I'm reluctant to leave I'm good for nothing So don't get accustomed to me

I don't know where you are And I don't know what to say I remember the person you were And I'm missing you everyday I don't know where you are But I'm hoping you found your way I don't want to fight the church Just wish they would go away And I won't let them push you around As long as you don't let them talk me down I don't know where you are And I don't know what to say You told me that I was lost But I'm going the only way I don't know where you are And I've run out of things to say I don't want to fight the church I don't want to kneel and pray And I won't let them push you around As long as you don't let them talk me down I don't know where you are And I don't know what to say I don't want to fight the church Just want them to go away And I don't know where you are I don't know where you are I don't know where you are And I've nothing more to say

Alkaline 02:45
She showed up in the parking lot to mingle with the boys She took over the tape deck and she played a lot of noise She's alkaline She's perfect if you're into that So distant and embossed A victim of her circumstance She's found more than she's lost She's alkaline She made a lot of enemies by working with the mob She doesn't have a gun or knife At least she has a job She's alkaline She thinks she's from the future and she thinks she's one of us They took her to the pinnacle and beat her brains to dust She's alkaline

Xing 06:08
Believers in trust, believers in right Believers in love, this is your fight No justice for the hearts that carry the light Believers in love, this is your fight Crossing your fingers and your toes To keep all the ghosts in hiding You forgot to cross your heart Although your arms were trying Holding your grudges and your nose A grip so tight, it's frightening Buried alone, it's how you lost A space worth occupying Receivers of hope, receivers of need Receivers of love, this is your dream No justice for the fucks that watch you bleed Receivers of love, this is your dream Crossing your fingers and your toes To keep all the ghosts in hiding You forgot to cross your heart Although your arms were trying Holding your grudges and your nose A grip so tight, it's frightening Buried alone, it's how you lost A space worth occupying Thank you for your sacrifice We are tired of playing nice Come and get your freedom at half price

People Are 01:05
People are so terribly disappointing People are so terribly misinformed People are so terribly disappointing From the day they're born You have been warned

Warfare Line 06:26
We're standing in the warfare line Guaranteed to come, just don't know the time We're waiting in the warfare line There's always money for the poor to die Suffer the fools who are their supply The end and means aren't justified It never ends, they're never satisfied Rich men lie We're standing in the warfare line Ready to serve, ready to die We're waiting in the warfare line There's always money for a rich man's lie Suffer the fools who are their supply The end and means aren't justified It never ends, they're never satisfied Rich men lie

Can you read my writing? Beware the people who I've underlined They love to see us fighting They love to watch us further in decline All this mess is tiring Our hands are tied, our toes are on the line Firing squad keeps firing Our numbers drop, their numbers multiply And Superman is crying Batman has gone in hiding The Justice League is dying Our only hope is shepherd's pie Everyone keeps fighting I can't believe we've not been killed by now How have we not been killed by now?

Happyface 07:00
Put on your happyface Forget about what has taken place No need to worry of your demise Just be happy you're still alive Go to your happy place Say goodbye to the human race There's nothing worse than coming in first If it's a blessing, then it's a curse Put on your happyface While you're bathing in human waste Run for cover while waters rise What a time to be alive Put on your happyface Put on your happyface Go to your happy place And put on your happyface You're only here to work and buy Slaving for the evil eye Guillotine them side by side Those motherfuckers gotta die Those motherfuckers gotta die You're only here to work and buy Slaving for the evil eye Guillotine them side by side Those motherfuckers gotta die Put on your happyface Those motherfuckers gotta die

Please 04:17
Don't go to hell. Please. I beg you. Please don't go to hell.

Thanks 09:09
Thanks for the poison, it was great It went down so easily Thanks for chopping off my arm It was getting in the way Thanks for pushing me off the ledge I wanted a better view of the ground, of the land Thank you for your helping hand Thanks for the bigotry and hate Peace was getting strange Thanks for the horses, they worked great I put their heads in several beds with millionaires But they didn't care, they just went about their day Thanks for the poison, it was great It went down so easily And thanks for making me so late I missed the bus to school again I had to walk again, in the snow and wind Uphill both ways

It's been a life of mistakes Full of unlucky breaks Bad decisions, bad takes I wish you were here As I crumble to dust As my brain turns to mush Hope that I earned your trust I wish you were here

about

"Fifty Winters" is an unplanned album. When "Pleasantly Depressing" was released on 10/26/18, none of the songs on "Fifty Winters" existed. Two days later, on my birthday (October 28th), I set out to write an entire album (and begin recording it) that day. All eleven songs were written on October 28, 2018 and recorded over the following two and a half months.

This isn't as much an album, as it is a celebration. It's my birthday present to myself. And that's fifty winters, my friends.
