im going
crazy this time
put my boots on,
see you in another life
but you’re coming to me, in dreams now
and you drove me out of this lame town
oh man, don’t think i’ll ever understand
so you’re midnight
you only wear black
whatever you’re selling
it don’t mean jack
and you think that we were good somehow
but the only good, is goodbye now
and you drove me out of this lame town,
oh man, will they ever understand?
gosh darn
my friends are upset
they never thought
that i would’ve left
but shit keeps falling on me somehow
and there’s more coming down that i can allow
they drove me out, of this lame town
oh man, i hope you can understand
i hope you can understand
i hope you can understand

your dad died when you were 16
and you became a spirit on the street
but you got a job and turned it around
became the boss and the beast
so how'd you get like this?
you think that you'd oughta learn
for all the boys you kill
one day you're gonna get burned
one day you're gonna get burned
got your first million at 24
shitloads more then you ever spent
but money can't feed that dark hunger in you
and all those boys felt that torment
so how'd you get like this?
you think that you'd oughta learn
for all the boys you kill
one day you're gonna get burned
one day you're gonna get burned
the hottest july and i was stranded
admit i liked your power
took me back to your sterile white condo
and fucked me for 48 hours
and i thought you were the shit
but then i realized you weren't
cause i can't feed that dark hunger in you
so you buried me in the dirt
so how'd you get like this?
you think that you'd oughta learn
for all the boys you kill
one day you're gonna get burned
one day you're gonna get burned

You are an afternoon special
Warning me, not to love you
I am a storm you dance in
And I tell you, not to
And I'm making fires
For your attention
Got nobody in mind
But I hope someone see's
I hope they see

between you and i
you always wish you died
but you’re already walking dead
born into a mess
raised at best
your family quilt made of loose threads
and that kid who used to have dreams
found out young that’s all they’ll be
making up a life from scratch
white american trash
between you and i
everyone’s a journey, or a lie
a pit stop on your map
crying over spilt wine
you’ll watch her drink until she dies
and you’ll follow in her footsteps
and that kid who used to have dreams
found out young that’s all they’ll ever be
making up a life from scratch
white american trash
white american trash

i was 8 and you were 10
you took over my life
you were more wild back then
god knows i tried
we grew fast and we grew old
you did it alone
i heard the loneliness
on the other end of the phone
the street lined up
they pulled your body out the door
i never felt so distant
i didn't know you anymore
i didn't know you anymore.

dancing on the edge of a knife
swerving fast off of those white lines
it’s just another, another line
just another, another night
but all you see is one man dance
alone in a bar, just lost his last chance
and he’s dancing under these coloured lights
he feels alone, but that’s just life
if i'm going out, i'm going out with a bang
can’t help a man, a man on fire
cause i got that steel city buzz now babe
and i'm only getting higher
i'm only getting higher
just another downtown tale
prom king went off the rails
sleeping in the back of his car
telling everyone he’s still gonna be a star
but all you see is one man dance
drinking alone,
just danced his last dance
spinning faster then that mirrored ball
blocked out the world, his favourite songs on
if i'm going out, i'm going out with a bang
can’t help a man, a man on fire
cause i got that steel city buzz now babe
and i'm only getting higher
i'm only getting higher

april showers
but blue in june
i’ve been this way forever
it’s a good time too
i don’t know any other way
it works like this
then may change
im caught in reverse
oh same way as it was at birth
every season it’s somewhere new
im not staying long, but i know you’d love me too
transient human
just passing through
i hate the past
and i bite more then i can chew
i don’t know any other way
it works like this
and then it may change
im caught in reverse
oh same way as it was at birth
every season it’s somewhere new
im not staying long, but i know you’d love me too
ya i know you'd love me too

Bratty Hamilton, Ontario
The old bedroom project by Brendan Hendry. Recorded from 2016-2019.
These are very
scrappy demo's or "sketches" of song's I always envisioned as being bigger.
Thank you to anyone who has ever heard something in these songs. I didn't expect anyone to ever care about them.
