When the morning cries Hold me in it's showers And when the evening strikes Love me in it's sorrows You said "take your time" Wandering in my folly But it's in these lights I'd say I think you got me pretty good So when the day break bleeds That sky you'll never paint me Date leaves and lemon trees Remind me to be happy When even after I leave And I know that you'll still hate me Because I'm arrogant and mean I''m a living, breathing, working class freak From rags to riches sincerely yours I write to you because I feel I must Is it mind over matter - I don't mean to bore But is this strife even conquerable without self-love? From rags to riches I want to know Is life even possible without another's touch? From rags to riches sincerely yours I write to you in a state of endless toil And so I'll cast the die - Because I don't wanna die On my own, in the night

When I Fall Into the void I've Known And I kick And Scrape Gum off the walls "I'll be fine" If I pray I'll go Out onto the sea By your grace - ful lies "I know I won - Wander alone..." Oh, I question it all I ponder while you You bleed through song When you call my name Oh, it haunts me still Like the sight of your graceful spirit Leading the room - out onto the stars Everytime you show "Cursed be the sons of the sky!" Blessed are the daughters of the moonlight Breaking arrows And friendless faces I loathe I'm buying time just wondering why I still sleep alone In the wilderness - where I'd cry By the pine trees - lying under a midnight sky My darkest hour, will be when I die So grant me some semblance of peace for once in my lifetime It's all that I ask

Rifling 03:52

Let's gather up the rifles Then sight in all the targets We'll put the past behind us The lord knows we can't stop it See the years I'm missing The price of fear for changing Momma knows I'm losing But is anybody listening? Now that I've seen the stars I see life for what it's worth Our lives may run ajar But no more will I let them hurt me I'll muster up the courage While you take all the glory And run up all my credit Just to sell a different story Who's that that's come a knockin'? Must be my fleeting conscience It's come to say I'm sorry For leaving me in darkness Now that I've gone afar I see your life for what it's worth Our lives may run ajar No more will I let it hurt me

What I'd Write 06:23
lyrics

With the press of our lips eternal bliss is reached With the touch of your hand against my face as I gently weep With the suck of your kiss and when our eyes finally meet Your graceful smile sends me higher than the tallest of trees Rolling fields - and endless sky Grant me hope - for a better life I'm on my own - one more time How I hope - to see you again With the caress of your hips against my lips I die By the God of your grace and the sight of your face I melt everytime With the clasp of our hands and our silhouettes to an open sky We could live forever if we choose to - after we die Rolling fields - and endless skies Grant me hope - for a better life I'm on my own - one last time But I know That we'll meet again On the highest of mountains With your sullen eyes - gazing back in mine And your golden hair - blowing softly in the breeze When I question God, I'll ask him if this is real I know you'll disappear - at the peak of that moment But I won't be scared - in fact I find solace In that you and I - are now existing We're just a place in time - apart So it's in mind - and in my heart That I won't let go Of the idea Of you If I - could just apologize One last time - and hold you tight If I - could kiss you goodnight With your hands in mine That'd be mighty fine If I - could just say goodbye One more time - and see you smile If I were to sing you a lullabye This would be What I'd Write

Someone Like... 04:41
lyrics

I'm walking away now I'm chalking the days down - till I leave You've turned this to Hell now You think you bring me down But I see Oh how I wish to travel the sea And find another just like me Amongst these ugly human beings Oh how I hope... Oh how I pray... Oh I know.... Apathy I'm flying away now I'm pondering all doubts - till I leave Well, what was that whole bout What did you really think I need? Oh how I wish to travel the seas Find someone who's just like me Amongst these damaged human beings Oh how I hope... And now I pray... But I know... Apathy I ask who Who? Who? Whom?

about

This was part of what was supposed to be the first full length professional release by Good Humour, but due to personal circumstances, the album never came to fruition. Given the cost to make the EP, I decided to release the songs that were recorded for the sake of documenting what could have been.
