lyrics

when will I be ok?
lately, I just want to be alone
with my guitar and my voice
and the alcohol of my choice.

it's a wonderful escape
from the world I've grown to hate.

when will I be ok?
I walk, because I can't afford to drive
I cry because I'm too poor to drive
and scratch off lotteries until my fingers bleed.

and accept your criticism, as I fall broken to my knees

when will I be ok?

I see your pain
I see your pain
these tears of love will make you bloom,
'cause I love and accept everything about you.

everything about you.

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."
