I saw you cry on the other side
My instinct was to laugh and hide
You saw me and thought it was a game
We both wanted to know the name
Whether we’d go home together or ever speak again
Whether we were the same
Or we’d die alone or die in fame
You were my friend, my old friend, stranger

Talk Is True
04:59
|

The sky never ends, the fadeout plays in the back of your mind till the clock runs out of time
She reads your face, writes a page for every thought you never knew you had inside of you
Talk all night, but words are never as clear you think; she smiles and you sink
It’s like the best lines are hidden, you have no clue, you say what you can until the talk is true
Talk is True
She said good night, you’re alone in your bed. You wanna go back but you rest your head
Then the bedpost rocks, the bed moves, you’re in a queue, you hear “A Boy Named Sue”
It’s noisy and hazy, you wanna touch. Like strings of light, there’s nothing to clutch
An ocean of pain sits in your belly like a ball of glue until the talk is true
Talk is True
It’s a long road from brain to the mouth. The word that starts is not what always comes out
I tell lies because I can. I tell lies and you listen
Fix your gaze into my eyes. Go on, give it a try. The only truth is that we’re here
It’s kind of cute that you have this fear
Just gotta get something out. Need some bullshit to shout. Wanna find a way to connect.
Oh well, she is gone
We’re all gloom and doom, opinionated. Reality slowly dissipated
The llamma eats the lion, at least in a dream if you wanted it to
A mountain looms until the media tells you what to do, tells you what to do
The bullshit’s the same, hits you in the face till you’re red and blue, until the talk is true
Talk is true

Good Times
03:39

Yeah, I called last night. I’m still alive.
Like it when you say I lied
Played a joke on your friend this morn
She said, wished I never been born
I’m not creepy, I’m just running out of time
I only get one life, can I blow your mind?
Good times, good times, good times
Don’t have a motive, I get ticked off
By him and her and this dude on the block
He praises Jesus, says find a god
My god is living; he wants to stop
Some friends got ghosts at home, most are cool
Afew even think they’ve heard of you
I keep plastic sheep, I keep three.
Hope you meet them when you come see me
Lucky I’m not packing, you’re kind of rude
I wouldn’t hurt a fly, I’m a real nice dude
Good times, good times, good times
Opinions are like pigeons, keep four.
When I’m ready I’ll tell you some more
Not hurting too much, it’s barely a sting.
Used my last wish to stick it in me
I’m not lonely. You like being free
Call me on the other side, please, please
Good times, good times, good times

My Baby's a Bull
04:33

My baby’s a bull. My baby’s a bull riding
Son of a bullshitting, badmouthing
My baby’s a runt, puts chocolate in his coffee, sugar in his tea
He says to me, says to me. He says to me, says to me
Shhh, I shut him down!
My baby’s a giant, giant fist of a tree
Son of a smart allecky, toe tapping
My baby’s a wizard. He sleeps upside, smokes juice through his ears
He says to me, says to me. He says to me, says to me
Shhh, I shut him down!
I shut him down. I shut him down.
I shut him down. I shut him down.
I shut him.
My baby’s a snake. His eyes see through me.
Son of a wisecracking, knuckledragging
My baby’s a bruiser, but says thanks and please, leans close to talk
He says to me, says to me. He says to me, says to me. He says to me, says to me
Shhh, I shut him down!
I shut him down. I shut him down.
I shut him down. I shut him down.
I shut him down. I shut him.
There was once a day when he was a little babe.
I held him close, now I’m in his way
His mind is big, his body small.
His heart is strong, he can never fall
At least not enough to block his path.
I taught him more than reading and math
His mind is big, his body small.
His heart is strong, he can never fall
His mind is big, his body small.
His heart is strong, he can never fall, never fall, never fall, never fall

Specter (Yaaa!)
04:23
|

You go away, you go away and I stay. I stay…
There is no reason to lie, you have the time
To just give your life away. It’s no big deal
You go away, you go away and I stay. I stay.
I only ask why you never cry. You could all the time
Funny how the story’s the same. It’s never even real
You are always around standing on my ground
Please go away!
You are always around
You go away, you go away and I stay. I stay.
There is no point to try to change the game. You win ever time
Even if we played by the same rules, you’d find ways to cheat
You are always around standing on my ground
Please go away!
You are always around
You are always around, you are always around, you are always around….

Another One
03:52

It’s too bad, it’s too bad, there’s another one in my house
But he doesn’t remember the way we used to play
I kicked your shin when you said, “I love you”
I was just scared, you were a giant in my mind
That was back when we were seven
Now we have talked in eleven years. Such a waste
It’s too bad, it’s too bad, there’s another one in my house
But he doesn’t remember the way we used to play
You didn’t know I watched you always, even when we weren’t together
I made some tapes
I started working when you went to heaven, the third one lived
But he had eleven fingers on his hands
It’s too bad, it’s too bad, there’s another one in my house
But he doesn’t remember the way we used to play
We started as friends till I said, “I love you”
His memory was not what I remembered
It was in jest
Turns out I was your enemy and now he’s making up an army
From backup tapes
It’s too bad, it’s too bad, there’s another one in my house
But he doesn’t remember the way we used to play
It’s too bad, it’s too bad, there’s another one in my house
But he doesn’t remember the way we used to play

You said my name only once that day
You brushed my hair. I touched your face
We both shivered in that place
I said goodbye at the bus stop
I had so much more, so much to say
But you were dead to me
You went away to die in fame
You were my friend, my old friend, stranger

Bubble Made Imagination Columbus, Ohio
Hi, I’m Andy, I make rock music in my home studio whenever time allows. I’m a child of the eighties, learned guitar in the nineties, mimicked the writing of indie rock in the early aughts, and have been winging it ever since. I have a DIY attitude and philosophy to make what I want to hear, do best with what I’ve got and treat each song as a time capsule. ... more
