no man's land

it's a no man's land out here
ain't a boy for blocks
the drought got real severe
no getting your rocks off
in the suburbs shit went dry
a long, time ago
and all the boys were willing to die
just for a quick blow
this ain't how it's supposed to go
i want the man and the dream
but i'm still stuck in this hole
with no fucking money
so i go looking for a man
to scream my name
and after 30 minutes ill leave
with considerable shame
all i've done is wake up
and do the same thing for a year
ain't willing to take a shitty job
if it means i'll stay here
this ain't how it's supposed to go
i want the man and the dream
but i'm still stuck in this hole
with no fucking money

all of your bad fumes
but i miss your dick

and lots of lines
im always stoned
but you're outta your mind
and i miss your dick
i miss your dick
ya i miss your dick

i wanted 2 love you
but you and your jimmy went to jail
would love 2 see you,
but baby i'm too poor 2 pay your bail
but i miss your dick
ya i miss your dick
i miss your dick
that was hard 2 admit

suburban scummm

you were worried about making it in the city
i was worried about making it out of the suburbs
you said i had plenty of time, don't worry
but you got it wrong, time goes by faster
tv taught me that i could be something better
and you were saying the same thing to me
but since 18 my brains just been strange weather
what if what i want, doesn't happen to me?
then suddenly you're 6 feet under the ground
with the dirt on your head
living with your mom, never left town
and breathed till you were dead
just another casualty with wasted dreams and then some
i don't want to go out like suburban scum
i don't want to go out like suburban scum
i don't want to go out like suburban scum

leech

i didn't know i was running
i guess i wanted 2
if you eat enough of the trash
you'll let it become you
and at 22 i was feeling so wise
but when i'm by myself
i'm still up crying at night
i just take, i just take
just like the leech i am
i just take, i just take
till i'm never seen again
maybe someday, somewhere
we can meet again
we can have that conversation
maybe you'll be my friend
but i'm so sorry to the people
i made a mess
i've always felt love but never known how to give it
i just take, i just take
just like the leech i am
i just take, i just take
till i'm never seen again

oh amanda
you were always settled in your ways
and when we lost it all
i never really got to say
hey amanda
you said men always did you wrong
so you tried to find
the one who wasn't bad at love
but i'd like you to know
that you were always your own
and no man could ever come close
oh amanda
so amanda
is the dress of love a perfect fit?
was it worth it all
for the friends you lost for it?
but i'd like you to know
that you were always your own
and no man could ever come close
oh amanda

so i got outta there
and i thought i'd find here
in the land of the same home's
the air's 2 quiet for this queer
could stay and domesticate
be just like my father
ditch the dream for stability
and hey, not bother
i don't dream of the city, no more
i don't dream of the city, no more
i don't dream of the city, no more
i don't dream of the city, no more

just couple of boys on an open road
high all day on the highway
been saying we were gonna leave this town
man we went crazy
and we always always wanna run
but have we ever thought, what from?
nebraska to california
and we're heading to anywhere, USA
arizona then too colarodo
don’t know what we’re doing
but baby we’ll find our way
in anywhere USA
met a lost mother at the motel 6
she read our fortune and stole our wine
the old man at the diner, said give it up boys
your way past your prime
and we always always wanna run
but we still haven’t found out what from
nebraska to california
and we're heading to anywhere, USA
arizona then too colarodo
don’t know what we’re doing
but baby we’ll find our way
in anywhere USA
and have you ever thought
who’s behind those headlights?
where they going? are they alone tonight?
and we’re all traveling in some scrapped metal chrome to somewhere
well i'm not sticking around
so i hope you get there
nebraska to california
and we're heading to anywhere, USA
arizona then too colarodo
don’t know what we’re doing
but baby we’ll find our way
in anywhere USA

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.
