lyrics

let's stop, and make sense of this
cause I don't remember how I exist
but when the sun came up,
I was drunk and on the floor
it wasn't enough, I still wanted more.

more understanding
more time, because mine's running out.
though I will never know, where I'm from
still, I am scared to death of where I'm going.

so I'll pray, to a God I don't know
and I'll hope he hears me, but I know he won't
because this world's fucked up
yeah, I hope you hear me, but I know you don't

understand me
you should be paying Mother Earth child support
because you left all of us, and didn't care
you said that you are love, but you are not there.

more, more understanding
more time, because mine's running out
though I will never know, where I'm from
still, I am scared to death of where I'm going.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."
