Thanks for being my friend when I needed u, cuz I needed you like you'll never know when others left me down u were there for me said a pray'r for me, wouldn't leave me alone we talked all through the night about everything and ur words did bring me close to home it didn't matter how far away u were there was no censor on your heart and soul they say we're only human but I don't think that's true I think that were all angels especially when I think of u in a thousand years we both won't be known and so overgrown this world will be all we have is now to say the things that love can bring and be free from fear so thanks for being my fiend when I needed u cuz I needed u like you'll never know I can't give you much of anything except to sing this song for you they say were only human but I don't think that's true I think that we're all angels esp when I dream of you Lin z

I always drive alone to where you are these empty roads I've seen that sign before you think I'd know by now to turn this car around It filters through my head spinning wheels the things you said It's not that I'm afraid It's more like scared to death when broken bones hit the road I drive all night I don't need no light It's pressed on my mind your maps and signs I wish I could relax rest my head and call you back you're colder than before so what's this heater for? never keeps me warm I drive all night I don't need no light It's pressed on my mind your maps and signs your maps and signs your maps and signs I drive alone

Everready 03:34
Anywhere you want me to I will be the same Any way I have to do I’ll Remain Unchanged And u can bet your bet your life On me And u can bet your bet your everything Call me on the telephone Says it hurts your ears Apalachia isn't home The Eagle, veers low Controlled And I will bet my bet my life On her I will bet my beat my everything I am the Rock of Gibralter And I stand so Strong, I will not move

I understand 04:11
[He...] If I could change what I said it'd be different now if I could read ur letters again I'd understand but I was where I was and I needed a friend [she...] I understand what your going thru but I can't heal that for you now cuz I'm not the girl you thought you knew I send this message clear to u. [he...] If u thought I didn't care, I'd understand I couldn't breathe without your air no fight in me I was where I was I needed a friend! [she...] I understand what your going thru but I can't heal that for you now cuz I'm not the girl you thought you knew I send this message clear to u. [he mumbles...] she was where she was I needed a friend she was where she was (i don't know you) I needed a friend (& I don't wanna see you) she was where she was (u just forget everything!) she was where she was…. (lie) [she...] I understand what your going thru but I can't heal that for you now cuz I'm not the girl you thought you knew I send this message clear to u. I understand what your going thu (u made your point) but I can't heal that for you now cuz I'm not the girl you thought you knew I send this message clear to u.

Faultless 04:35
take it fast or take it slow it don't mean much if you don't let go of the blame blame Faultless (faultless) you will fly against the stone brown dirt and the burnt black sky It's too short to have control It's too long to ever know why we came white games Saltless saltless lakes run dry leaving stone brown dirt and a burnt black sky our human needs they grow on trees and nothings real until you bleed out human needs like paper trees where nothings real until you bleed so just bleed So take this life and claim your gold the child that dies in hiding in your soul souls thoughtless thoughtless heavy lies hit the stone brown dirt see the blood red skies our human needs they grow on trees and nothings real until you bleed out human needs like paper trees where nothings real until you bleed so just bleed hit the stone brown dirt see the blood red skies...

Psycho 04:23
Hey, how r u? I'm that guy u once knew some special guy who wanted u and smothered u just wanted u to know me that's all but u won't know me at all guess I blew it again words aren't my friend didn't mean to say what u read shouldn't of said anything just wanted u to love me that's all but I'm so weak now and you're so tall, so tall so I say Don't let it go away don't try and hide your pain just let it show cause I know u felt the same and so I say (repeat) to strangers and fools that I'm fine so untrue please just go away I cannot cope with what to say just wanted u to love me that's all but I'm so weak now and you're so tall, so tall so I say Don't let it go away don't try and hide your pain just let it show cause I know u felt the same and so I say (repeat) I'm just a stranger and that's all I'll ever be Maybe in our next life we can keep each other company [Solo] hey, how r u I'm that guy u once knew.

Broken 05:08
Being Broken is beautiful that’s what you said If being broken is so beautiful then you paint me red, a sunset sky, with trees that bleed from sweet sap eyes If being broken is so beautiful then why can’t I feel beautiful? every moment is truthful that's what you said if every moment is so truthful then that was then and this is now so tell me where it begins and ends if every moment is so beautiful then why can’t I feel you’re beautiful thank God there’s no drunken photographs to make our piece of beauty pornographed it would kill me kill me you’re so beautiful you’re so beautiful Being Broken is beautiful that’s what you said.

Dream 03:35
Dust and Bones, a heart of steel I’m afraid I took that pill Now I’m as cold as ice and no one wins my fight truth be known I was scared it doesn’t mean I didn’t care you have to be alone to carve your soul from stone I will turn from view light reveals the truth I will wait, wait for this dream to pass, veil to lift I won’t give up the fight till darkness turns to light I will turn from view light reveals the truth

Freezing 04:09
Falling like the snow and freezing in slow motion drifting without cause I melt into this ocean I tried my best to be someone that u might see but not me, not me Now this year has passed Janvier (january) has spoken we'll tumble in the frost like avalanches rolling repeat the same mistakes when will I see my traits too late, too late this world so fragile ours to love and hold when will I see I'm carving my own mold why are we so lost is it all for nothing? these battles won and lost killing all for nothing I feel ashamed to be someone who does nothing, nothing not me this world so fragile ours to love and hold when will I see I'm carving my own mold Our lives so fragile ours to love and hold when will I see I'm carving my own mold

Tidal Wave 06:34
So far away from who I am today my house bore a child she was meek and I was mild like a tidal wave that hits the shore you raped and you ravaged my home you tore when you fall from grace remember, you're not alone you can bear more pain and through your suffering, regain compassion so I watch and I wait to make sure it's safe Cause I don't want to drown from more waves in this town I trusted your storm when I should have locked my door My love gave you your wind so you blew my home in when you fall from grace remember, you're not alone you can bear more pain and through your suffering, help others, regain trust there's a storm in all of us there's a storm in all of us

about

NB: this album was meant to be listened to in it's entirety, and each song 'cross-fades' into the next to make for a seamless listening experience. Therefore if you download only a single track you may hear a slight transition at the beginning and at the very end of each song. This is Normal.

[liner notes from actual CD]
I’m not one for liner notes, but I feel like this album needs at least a little explaining. I love it how music is so periodic in a person’s life. I could never write this music again, as it simply reflects a short period of my life - with most of the songs being penned between late 2003 and 2006. From composition to actual recording was a slow process involving several patient years until the ideal partner materialized in the form of producer Erik Herbst. The production of this album was then a huge labor of love for both myself and Erik, and together we really tried to capture the spirit of the music as best we could. Therefore I truly hope this music finds you during a period of your life when you need it most, and where it’s genuine meaning resides. I also wish that this music be as cathartic for you to listen to as it was for me to write.

with love,

Joel Fountain
