lyrics

my current emotional status
makes me wish I could wish last night away
bashing my head away from the inside out
saying things I didn't mean that I meant at the time.

hurtful. deceitful, but hey, I tried.

but I still know everything will be alright
cause I was singing in my dreams with my eyes glued shut
singing, "Now, it's gone and I had my chance, but had to forfeit."

I know sometimes efforts fall short
and some people never appreciate
the things others sacrifice for them
but even though my efforts fell short,
please don't be one of them.

my current emotional status
makes me wish I could wish last night away
bashing my head away from the inside out
saying things I didn't mean that I meant at the time.

hurtful. deceitful, but hey I tried.

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."

-Nick Tate, WXPN
