Fly
If I could be a fly on the wall in your mind
would we survive a day?
If you could be a fly on the wall in mine
How long before you fly away?
If I could be a fly on the wall in your mind
Would we survive a day?
If you could be a fly on the wall in mine
Would you fly away?
Would you fly away?
She's even more mysterious asleep
What is she dreaming about?
I dreamt she left the bed and packed her stuff
Took an aeroplane out
And there between the lines she wrote
To say why she was going
Was every card held to my chest
How could these have been showing?
If you're in my head is the mystery dead
What are you doing behind the eyeballs?
I was running down to the underground
Were you pursuing?
Are you a fly on the wall?
How was every stray emotion scratched onto my forehead
For your reading?
Seemed liked a pretty good idea at the time
To get beneath the skin
If I could be a fly on the wall in your mind
I'd probably do myself in
We set up in business, contributed one heart each
I dreamt that yours was creeping slowly
Out of reach
If you're rattling round, what do you think you've found?
You don't belong here
We don't get to know it all
Tell me how can I just smile and lie like nothing's wrong here?
Are you a fly on the wall?
How was every stray emotion scratched out on my forehead
For your reading?
And if you're in my head is the mystery dead
What you doing?
You got no place here at all
I was running down to the underground
Were you pursuing?
Are you a fly on the wall?
How was every stray emotion scratched onto my forehead
For your reading?

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
A pair of hushed and striking acoustic ballads from L.A.’s Angelo De Augustine, with shivery guitars and whispering vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2017
