One Side Of The Story 02:54
lyrics
buy track
As I make pain poetic Results could well be pathetic The view from the other side Is the one I want to know I tell my tales of glory But it's just one part of the story If I knew the other side Then I may not feel so good inside I want to feel the way I made you feel So purely If truth can set me free Then frame of mind Can cure me I give the world my explanation But there's no cross-examination I get to plead my case And you never get to set it straight I take no pride What I say is true They're on my side Nothing I can do This whole thing Is mine to lose There's no way to be objective But I could sure use some perspective

Never Really There 02:50
lyrics

Silence fills my ears And time is at a crawl What was once complete Now is nothing at all You said no more I was so sure You can only turn it off If it was never really there Far away from where I felt safe before Don't invite me in If you're just gonna slam the door You gave me a hollow Pill to swallow You can only turn your back If you were never really there Bury me under a thousand distant words As you grow small And disappear Like you were never really here

No Home But Here 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Inside a ring of my own making Find myself here time and again With scattered pieces left to sift through I walk in circles that will never end Searching for peace in every corner Under my feet and from above Waiting my turn, but the line goes on for miles And the people all around me push and shove I have no land, but the ground I walk on I have no safehouse, in from the clear There is no place that I can fall back on I have no home but here Along a shaky bridge I wander Nightmares can guess at what's below No turning back, and even if I reach the end There's no guarantee of what I'd have to show I close my fist but nothing's in my hand With fingers clenched, I'm making my demand I lie awake at night and wonder I look for light in every day With every dusk comes the writing on the wall With dawn another slate that's wiped away

Emily 02:34
lyrics

Were you disappointed when I made that choice? Sitting on my shoulder I could hear your voice Emily, I thought you'd never leave You're part of me, but I feel so relieved After all this time I felt resigned to fate This must be what it feels like to stand up straight You have your place But your name was written on my face I needed space My guilt was written on my face Shaking off the rust but its a welcome change Excorcised your demon now I turn the page Emily, I thought you'd never leave You're part of me, but I feel so relieved Loving you, it feels like years ago Now it's true, I've finally let you go

No One Like You 05:08
lyrics
buy track
If I had a job to do, now it seems so clear Preserving what was lost If it's harder than before, I won't shed a tear It's worth the extra cost 'Cause I have nowhere to go from here But straight up 'Cause I used up all that I knew Before I happened upon What would prove to be true And I wanna keep feeling new Don't wanna see when you're gone There'll be no one like you If I had to use my head, the cynic would hold true Cause nothing lasts for good I could ruin everything if I just think it through Anybody could So I want to be here with you right now And that's all I could see me getting dragged through hell I could leave today and save myself Why should I preoccupy my time Fearing what could no longer be mine If I had it up to here, would I call it off? It doesn't matter

Under The Thumb 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Manic episode Out on the road In another world They secure the locks You think inside the box Out on your own Sheltered and grown But you are living Under the thumb Over the top You're made to look like fools Though you're playing dumb More often than not You don't even know the rules Of the game you're playing Pieces straying Aimlessly across the board You don't need it anymore You'll accept no blame It's all the same Through robotic eyes Nothing personal It's just what I saw I wish it was fair So unaware That you are living...

Just One More Time 05:34
lyrics
buy track
Shouldn't pay for someone else's past It's hard to avoid when all the old scars last All of the lessons I've learned So many ways I've gotten burned But just one more time I'll let myself believe the lies I'll give it one last try Cause it's time I got this right Shield myself from anything invasive But loneliness and love are equally persuasive I'm getting harder to crack I hope there's a way of going back Can't let things come undone I'm the only one In my hands, all or none I'm the only one

EVBRO Los Angeles, California

EVBRO is a composer/songwriter/guitarist. His guitar playing was featured in the cultural phenom video game Guitar Hero as well as the the slightly-less-of-a-phenom Sony/Screen Gems film The Roommate as a member of Shaimus. Now he's struck out on his own to write alt-rock songs. Actually, "struck out" really isn't a very flattering phrase to use here, is it? It's say "blazed an intrepid new path." ... more
