1.
When I woke from the picture it was nearly real And I remembered each movement from the spinning reel And how just like a wheel it didn't consider the way I did feel But it was not everlasting Brush the fog from my eyes to reveal something clean Looking through an open window to the nearly unseen But how the lightness of the morning turns to the eve And stars go funneling from you And I listen to you whisper when you come down Closing slowly decrescendo till not a sound Why does it trick me every time You keep me walking the line

Postman 04:02
Postman in the gray and blue Can I sleep among the bags while you drive? I'll take the wheel after a time Got a jaw full of foolish words How many miles Will we get there by morning? Stop just short of the ocean And I'll find my way to town I'd spend my last dollar on a walking cane Shining silver handle, initials engraved And a hard wandering stick leading down to the earth But is it worth wearing my soles to the dirt? There are a few things that I found Do you mind if I piece them together? I've got all the fixings for a letter But none of the letters for lines Some of these people back here They've got minds worth thieving Some are hoping and reeling Others are sky high I'm just hoping to string them in line One by one make the words into mine I think it's there, just not crystalized Like you'd see the stars, if not for the sun in your eyes
3.
Vertebrae 03:44
Did you watch my vertebrae Slendering out Or did you watch your own? Stretching skin over the bone I've grown Learning to be proud Slip under the tongue A watchmaking kit Nothing you can do with it I tried to birth a new time Forged from a younger spine of mine One less unsatisfied You know the game Filled with a childish pride Knowing the world from all sides Handsome and earnest and wise You know the game

about

In winter 2015 I spent a month in Colorado, playing nights at a bar in a big quasi country band. In the mornings I quietly worked on new songs, borrowed my friend Jackson's nylon guitar and recorded some of them. Here are three, presented as works in progress. Consider it a lo-fi preview of things to come.

If you'd like to download it for a few dollars, your offering will help offset expenses associated with the creation of my next proper full-length album. Your support is so appreciated. - Sam
