To Sleep 02:18
lyrics
buy track
It's much safer to be left in the dark The warm decay and loneliness of bliss that could ignite from a spark So I went back to sleep. It's a bother to be lost in a friend Lovers pass and words collapse that brands a scar you're left to defend

Beg To Bare 05:06

potato quality video!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF2NmVVwPSc Ragged are the words that you say I fear you don't believe in me Talk is lost like lips on a shadow Bright like suicide in the ether I don't mean to pry without doubt You've brought us all the way down Lust won't be the weeds that you brave through Butter up the walls because you've doubted I long to lose everything I want to feel every sting Cause my eye is a satellite that spies and begs to bare goodbyes Surely you've forgotten the long con Sullen lost believer Words don't offer much for your sorrow Words are used to blame (oh, my poor heart!) I long to lose everything I want to feel every sting Cause my eye is a satellite that spies and begs to bare goodbyes (I decided long ago) Hold your baby boy in your arms Can't you see you've won? You've won.

Shoulders 02:43
lyrics
Video (kind of): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpK3Evtl0Gg All you've got is your make-up to hide you from me. I'll concoct a darling plot to chide you, you'll see Shoulders, won't you come over? If I seem older, that's because I am. Halfway shot, a last hurrah You've wasted, squandered your youth. So you'll pout and mope about 'till death finds your door. Shoulders, won't you come over? If I seem older, that's because I am. Show up. That's what I told her If I seem colder, don't you factor in?

The Watcher 02:37
lyrics

Oh Watcher Who only has eyes for another Your insides they swelter like summer Boyhood pranks defined Years later The sparkle you sparked glorified You'll get no relief when they decide Those pigs, they will feast on your insides All you've worked for is gone A reply to your lofty sighs - hammered down Oh Watcher The sparkle you felt was a lie You'll get no relief when you die and those pigs they will return in no time All you've worked for is gone I reply, "What faith have I to return?" Is it love that blots out the scent of death? Is it love? The symptom the heart professes. Is it love? Logic's grande furlough Is it love that the heroine fails to notice?

Reports and Results 03:45
lyrics
Should we wait now? poison pen writes build some to my walls tall. ill be outside, enamored hopeless sun holds tacticians know about our strange appetites time has come you say line us all up to vote for the same results you've got your reports to fill we know what they say well before you waltz through the door you're wasted away there's a trace of ____ way out there something pure. prone. whole. home? you've got your reports to fill its just who you are

Loose End 03:07
lyrics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L90uukZmD5Q Darling... ghetto words, they will hunt you down When you try to escape from this town You hold out for more - Just to be sure A loose end that tangles deep in your curls Once again I'm neck deep in the dirt July is just a pit I fall in. Show me the way as the world caves in I just miss knowing you're around Hell or Heaven means nothing to me I rely on what I can see

Codger 01:54
lyrics
'Pure' is left for those who like folding clothes My time is best untold and left alone He's left a gaping hole for those who need control and stands to ruin all Forever Old Rawhide who protests and moans Lusts and pines for the great unknown It's a fantasy to be what you want to be My life revolves around me Forever

Politics and Religion 05:29
lyrics
We didn't grow up on the same side of the tracks Your views are ridged girl but mine are a little more relaxed It seems to me, it's just biology Turn off that television, swerve those hips next to mine... We could gab about Rousseau but that's just pantomime It don't have to be catastrophe Politics and Religion Parlor tricks of persuasion I just want to hold your hand, tell me you'll stay Politics and Religion Parlor tricks and illusions I just want to hold your hand, tell me you'll stay I sense pretense - ad Ignorantiam A well crafted word is formed but they all just spill out dumb I'll concede - for you and me. Politics and Religion Charlatans of confusion I think it's a waste of time, tell me you'll stay Politics and religion tired schtick of coercion I just want to hold your hand, tell me you'll stay

about

"...don't short-change the range of fear and desperation that artists dwell upon in the subjects of love, human interaction and one's Art."

Joe's first solo albums 'Ex-Hots' and ‘Stumbles and Foibles’ allowed a glimpse into the un-edited mind of a man in constant struggle.

With a more paced and delicate touch, the upcoming album 'Suzanne' finds Joseph confronting some of those old demons and finally putting them to bed.
