Lyrics:

She always seems to color me the only shade she couldn't see. I am transparent I am a ghost. A grain of sand on the Sunshine Coast.

And I woke up today and figured I'd burn everything that made me think of you. And the saddest part is I was left with nothing by the time that I was through.

You had me like the first breath of a Midwest autumn evening. As the sunset fades to cold air to freeze the evergreens. So can we take some time to redefine what it is you thought you'd find. Because when you left that night, you left me behind.

I woke up today and figured I'd burn everything that made me think of you. And the saddest part is I was left with nothing. You were fibers in the thread that stitched demons in my head. The reason I'll drink on my own tonight instead. I never thought three beautiful words would have a grip so tight. You crippled my throat.

She always seems to color me the only shade she couldn't see. I am transparent. Transparent as a ghost.

Lyrics:

I hope my absence haunts you like a ghost
Eating away at you from time to time
I know I’m absent from your life and mind but you still haunt mine

There’s a different kind of emptiness you left me with after all of this
And I can’t wrap my head around the fact that you’re not coming back
There’s a chemical imbalance that you left inside my brain
You’re the reason why the alcohol is still rotting in my veins

I’ll be ok this is something I can get through
But I don’t know if I can say the same about you

I know a world of stability is all that you could ever see and when everything falls apart
Dear God I know it’ll fall apart
I hope you buckle at your knees and think of me

I’ll leave you with this emptiness as your parting gift
These heavy words I know you can’t lift
(Between the two of you there’ll be a common rift)
And thats me. The problem you can’t fix
The chemicals have balanced as I’m writing off your name
I hope the thought of us and broken trust stays frozen in his brain

’ll be ok this is something I can get through
But I don’t know if I can say the same about you

Truth be told we are not the same
A future sold that was built on blame
I pray you can’t bear the guilt and shame
I’ll stay a thorn in your side that’s worn with pain
Day in day out it won’t get better
Even your friends say forever fair-weather
Stay stuck. You’re a stormy sky with an idle mind you deserve each other

And I’ve been picking you apart in my head
Trying to see between you and me if there was anything worth keeping

I’m empty handed once again

Constant consent. You lied to him about the time we spent.
Relapse. Repent. Your judgement lapse came and went.

You said that life was built on compromise
A statement laced with fraying ties on borrowed time you’ll never find
So in the end you took what was yours and stole what was mine.

A few weeks back music lost another one of its legends. Tom Petty is an artist we all admired, as he changed the music industry by doing things his own way.

We've been laying low the last few weeks in preparation for some of the biggest opportunities this band has had. This downtime, coupled with his loss, inspired us to do something a little different.

Tracked, mixed, and engineered by our own Harrison Bormann, here's our take on "American Girl". Enjoy.
