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.
5.
i blow off my friends just so i could blow you hate when i say it when i say it aloud to you but i do sometimes when i do this i think im gonna die cause every man i've met has got the devil in his eyes when i meet you i think "oh god this is my end" i do raised on killers murder was all i knew, still true sometimes when i do this i think im gonna die cause every man i've met has got the devil in his eyes

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
7.
he only calls me when his hand calluses sleazy i know, but true and i oughta stop and not give him anything but i always want too his lips, his face not the same as yours babe but the taste is still the same his eyes, his smile dime a dozen i realize but i felt you for awhile ya i felt you for awhile i called you up from the highway hotel i wanted to know where you were and this wood panelling makes me feel so lonely but it beats doing it in your car his lips, his face not the same as yours babe but the taste is still the same his eyes, his smile dime a dozen i realize but i felt you for awhile ya i felt you for awhile

about

This EP is dedicated 2 all the wonderful characters that Hamilton, Ontario has to offer. All these songs have a backdrop of some place in Hamilton, and I wrote most of this on the HSR and about people I've met along the way from this city.

It's about dive bar patrons, dead degrassi stars, sad hotel sex, thinking you're going to get murdered by a grindr date and americans.

about

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.
