Hey there Devil What did you say I dont think your last words Really did convey Hey there Devil Why dont you explain Are you here to love me Or are you causing me pain? Hey there Devil You only speak in riddles And I'm the one who’s always In the middle Hey there Devil Tell me how you really feel Are you here for real Or am I making deals With the Devil?

Pain pushing and pulling out Like a river rolling its own damn way I was breathing lungs filling up by a lake I was left swimming upstream alone Leaving my blues in a cold spring They could not reach me from down deep Leaving my blues in a could spring Goodbye to you blue mood Feelings become so heavy they sink The weight like a boulder coming off’f my shoulder I’m like water The weight like a boulder coming off’f my shoulder I feel lighter I was in too deep I was in too deep Couldn’t place my feet Couldn’t see beneath I was in too deep I was in too deep I was in too deep Leaving my blues in a cold spring They could not reach me from down deep Leaving my blues in a cold spring Goodbye to you (x4) Blue mood

Oasis Motel 03:51
Dreams are made of these days Driving to Oasis Motel Dreams are made of these days Get some gas fill up at the Shell You’ll find her off Route 69 Keep going past the borderline Mid-century design Californian built in 1959 Go on follow the neon sign Rest your beer on your bedside Put down that old TV guide Close your eyes when you feel tired Tomorrow we’ll eat eggs, sunny side Oh the Oasis Coffee in a styrafoam cup I know when you need a pick-me up Gonna drive along that strip Our next stop is a lucky dip Oh the Oasis

Mountain 03:02
I never left the road I’m happiest being rogue Through the Rockies home The mountains all around me Is where I felt most found I’m never really alone With nature in my bones I visited Yellowstone Purposely went unknown I took a drive Mountain I’m so high Not coming down Can’t go back to ground I’ve never had the need To sit around and just be I’m always on the look out For things less ordinary I’m never city bound Just trying to get out of town I’ve always needed scenery Natural simplicities

Highway 05:18
The road without you on it Couldn’t undo, couldn't stop it You asked me to go your way So I took the highway A road less travelled A lot more gravel A road less travelled It’s come unraveled Had to quiet all your sway Everything you’d have to say Don’t let that one way road Be the thing that takes its toll Don’t you try to hold me back You already led me off track I took the highway I took the highway And went my own way

about

Record Two is a purposeful lift out of the darkness and is a much fuller, rounded out sound. Although there is still a focus on tension, frustration and narratively similar qualities between the two EPs, Record Two is emotionally lighter in feel and brings a welcome release from the darker twists and turns of Record One.
