Our Stories 03:09
As I travel 'round this city, it starts to look shitty, or am I growing old? The copper patina, the rust colored brick, it's been bought and sold As I walk to the corner store, past the old weathered whore, their stories ain't told Where new and improved is what makes the news, while the history is lost In our hearts, in our minds is where they reside The memories of youth, from seed to the fruit in the bright azure sky Our stories, Past glories, set to melody and sound Our stories, Allegories, through the notes they resound As the buildings combust, we'll return to dust, at the end of the line Who will remember, the glory and slendor? art lost to time This life's all we have, until we collapse, we don't age like wine But until that day comes, I'll sit here and strum, so the past is not lost

Leucothea 02:30
On the coldest hour of the darkest night I've got her to keep me warm When my ship sails out far from the coast I know she's standing with me in the storm When the waters are rough and I'm soaking wet sometimes I can forget My first mate is a fisher of men and she's caught me in her net We've traveled the rough and stormy seas; our battles terrible, fierce and loud Cussing, Cursing and angry words enough to make any sailor proud But every dusk must bring a dawn; Every storm blows itself out When we stand up strong after hanging on I know there is no doubt... The ropes we use to tie our binds are weathered from many storms But our lives are intertwined like a bowline, and our anchor hitch is strong Like Leucothea in the Odyssey, she guides me like a bird And in return like Homer, I dedicate to her these words

Intro C F A G Verse I C F A G Always lived near the ocean South on Massachusetts Bay From Plymouth to Weymouth These are the towns we play We'll take suburbia, no urban hell Our sky's a brighter shade of blue We live on the South Shore We boast it proud and true! Chorus C G F C G And here we stand Looking out over the bay We're the South Shore Punk Rock Kids From Waymouth to the Cape Our ethic: DIY or Die we don't care where we play Our roots are the South Shore and here we'll always stay Verse II We'll play any church basement or hall We'll make you move your feet The afterparty is at 105, the house right down the street! The scene has died but we'll bring it back Cause we learned from the best Now the torch, it has been passed And we will never rest

about

Just some rough sketches for songs I've written but haven't done anything with yet... They could become new music for The Murder, The Midnight Crows or any number of other projects...
