Harry Nichols Simple, melody oriented songwriting with a very tight performance. With this EP, you get the band and nothing more or less. It's a perfect debut. Favorite track: Lullaby.

Ms. Carolina 03:40
Little miss small town She went way down south She ain’t ever coming back Went down to Carolina Looking for some kind of change Found out when she got there It was all the same She chased those dragons down All the way to San Diego Picked up a few habits That she couldn’t let go Is she alright? Yeah, she’s alright She’s always right Got a condo and a new car All the things you thought you’d ever need Sold her soul and her body For the American dream She’s got those bills to pay And you know that ain’t cheap So may the highest bidder get her She’s not giving it up for free Is she alright? Yeah, she’s alright She’s always right We run, we run so hard but we never ever get that far We run, we run so hard so hard Little miss small town She went way down, way down

Dora Lee 02:51
cast into the storm like a kite without a string tethered to the heavens but never tied to anything floated around for a while in denial and I tired and i came back down I had so many questions never could figure it out I've been to patient but I'll see you on the other side I'll see you on the other side spread my ashes anywhere she might have been so i can know her better than i ever have blow me around in your whirlwind wandering long lost memory and when my bones they come to rest maybe we'll finally meet I've been to patient but I'll see you on the other side I'll see you on the other side I'll see you on the other side I'm so tangled loneliness is painful when you don't know where you came from when you don't know where you're going I'll see you on the other side I'll see you on the other side I'll see you on the other side

Thank you so much for the offer But I respectfully decline I just don’t have that kind of time to spend and learning from you has made me change my mind It’s not your lack of motivation or your self-serving way of life it’s all the other parts wearing down my patience buddy you seek me out and I will hide But I’m sure we’ll meet again in a far better place when I’ve got more money to spend and much more time to waste I need to get away I’ve watched you give up on your passion I’ve heard you spreading all your lies and I don’t care to join you in your misery sounds to me like tedium and time I’ve thrown a stone, but not to bruise you Just showing you the picture from my eye and if you don’t like what you see there my good friend well maybe it’s time we said goodbye But I’m sure we’ll meet again in a far better place when I’ve got more money to spend and much more time to waste I need to get away I’m unimpressed by your performance I’m not convinced your answer’s right think I already know the ending you pay to play then we all die But I’m sure we’ll meet again in a far better place when I’ve got more money to spend and much more time to waste I need to get away

Lullaby 03:40
I look at all these pictures and what do I see? A stranger looking at me He carried so much baggage had so many dreams he had it on his shoulders but he didn’t have a thing now he created monsters we all played the thieves stealing what we don’t have if it’s what we think we need Then we Go back to sleep [Go to sleep] Go back to sleep [Go to sleep] Close your little eyes [Close your eyes, Close your eyes] You’ll never feel so free We’re living in an age where life is a page the whole world’s on display we’re halfway in our grave We have so many friends, but don’t know all of them far too many ties and not enough loose ends Privacy is dead like a passing trend willfully extinct but I think you should Go back to sleep [Go to sleep] Go back to sleep [Go to sleep] Close your little eyes [Close your eyes, Close your eyes] You’ll never feel so free Free yeah, You’ll never feel so free

Two Souls 03:15
When two souls share a smile look into each other’s eyes in a world that hurts without words they speak the answer When the truth cuts through the lies and there’s no surprises and there’s no denying that we can’t live in this world without each other Well I’ve been so afraid of making changes for no good reasons other than I’ve been selfish But they’d have you believe you can do it on your own From everything I’ve seen that leaves you all alone Shined a light exposed my soul filled all the little holes But I was stranded in an ocean of abandon Change comes swift it comes fast and nothing seems to last and the only constant is that what is will soon enough not be Well I’ve been grasping at your frayed strings lately Hungry and crying all the time for what was never really mine to begin with But they’d have you believe you can do it on your own From everything I’ve seen that leaves you all alone Following your dreams but there’s no one there to see you

Just a tiny mistake, I never meant to make, I swear I don’t tell lies I don’t care what they say, they didn’t see a thing, I’ve got an alibi I know you were there, you saw everything, my partner in crime If the judge calls your name point your finger away, keep your toes on the line Are you my witness? Are you my witness? Or are you my weakness? If they can’t see my hidden face, would you give me a place to run away and hide? Would you do anything? Drop down on one knee, cheat, steal, and lie? I’m guilty again, blood on my hands, made red by my sin Don’t you pretend that what you said to me means nothing Are you my witness? Are you my witness? Or are you my weakness? And now that you know that the truth can’t set you free you can lie to yourself, but you don’t have to lie to me you can lie to yourself, but you don’t have to lie to me you can lie to yourself, but you don’t have to lie to me…

We can go anytime it's a second home of mine our tickets have been paid for but, I'm too afraid to fly I’ve always had a fear of heights but with you by my side got no choice but to be strong and hang on for the ride Start singing, You can have the window seat, just as long as it’s by me if we make it there at all Just promise you will resist the urge to snap pictures when we take off We can go anytime it's a second home of mine my family will be waiting across the River Main If you notice that I’m scared and it’s more than I can bear just buy another drink, make me think I’m already there Start singing, You can have the window seat, just as long as it’s by me if we make it there at all Just promise you will resist the urge to snap pictures when we take off Doo, doo, doo… Our tickets have been paid for, but I’m too afraid to fly My family will be waiting across the River Main My family will be waiting across the River Main My family will be waiting across the River Main
