Talking only makes it worse
Crying stings the eyeballs
Searching for some gentle dream
Just brings monsters from the walls
Slow music's like a funeral
But I don't hear no other kind
The absinthe bottle we sold our souls for
I do believe it's coming for my mind
I said there was a line we were crossing
You said it would be fine - no it wasn't
It was horrible and now we're missing in the night
Oh, I wanna wake up
Oh, I wanna wake up
Wanna be all right
I don't remember much conversation
Did one of us dare the other to ask
If that's the colour of the alcohol
Or just the colour of the glass?
Twenty four measures between us
It's how we measure our pain
Markings on the face of a disappearing clock
Smiling at us through the rain
I said there was a line we were crossing
You said it would be fine - it so wasn't
It was horrible and now we're missing in the night
Oh, I wanna wake up
Oh, I wanna wake up
Wanna be all right
Come on Joe you can't go this way, you gotta wake up!
Gotta be all right

It's cool... Ms Casey is sort of the internet equivalent of friend from school :] I've been chatting with her intermittently on SoundCloud for a few years... I remember how excited she was to start setting up her home studio√ This is like going away to a different Jr. High & coming back for her graduation. Good people :] Glad to see you succeeding!

Joseph Houck is one of those rare songwriters. His songs capture all the mystery, longing, sadness, and simple joys of being alive. A truly special American voice. Pall of a Past World
The 2nd album from the fine couple contains 12 tracks over 49 minutes. The material for this album is a lot stronger and its very much an album that works very well from the first song to the last, with perhaps only "Tyburn Fair" letting it down slightly. The album flows like a fine wine with one track leading into the other as it transgresses along, and will have you coming back for more. It's very much a solid body of work with many classics along its path. I would recommend this album 100%. Lee Lucas
On his latest album, Angelo De Augustine pairs deceptively light arrangements with emotionally heavy subject matter. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 18, 2019
