One more night on the line and the rails, they collide Things get so complicated, aha Through the mummified ears, friends and lovers and peers Downfall anticipated, aha Just to get to you, Just to get to you Just to get you alone Just to get to you, Just to get to you Just to get you alone I can see the things you want me to, yes and I can be the things you need So through troubles survive, battered spirit alive Somewhere down through the layers, aha Over thorns in your path under currents of wrath Psychocritic naysayers Just to get to you, Just to get to you Just to get you alone Just to get to you, Just to get to you Just to get you alone I can see the things you want me to, yes and I can be the things you need me to, need me to and I can see the things you want me to, yes and I can be the things you need Just to get to you, Just to get to you Just to get you alone Just to get to you, Just to get to you Just to get you alone

Coming up on seven months for three-eighty-four Ah yeah, I’ve worn the same uniform Yeah I know I threw the game, I want my life to stay the same Keep me in these prison walls, cinderblocks and waterfalls, ah yeah, ah yeah Used to make me happy watching blood on the streets Now I cannot get the stain off my feet I like it better tied and chained, you know I’ve never been afraid Leaping over bodies laid, know it’s only done and said and I can’t take life on the outside Freedom isn’t me I can’t fake it, life on the outside Bleeding liberty Most the men mark the time deep in the walls Years in the eyes, they shuffle down the halls But I watch the fractured sun through bars, grillwork mesh of stolen cars If I could do it all again, you know I wouldn’t change a thing and Chorus I sit and watch the nightmare; It circles, going nowhere What difference does it make, what difference does anything make? Anything make, anything make? Coming up on seven months for three-eighty-four Ah yeah, I’ve worn the same uniform Yeah I know I threw the game, I want my life to stay the same Keep me in these prison walls, cinderblocks and waterfalls Don’t need clothes or shopping malls, don’t need more than one phone call Keep me swabbing down the halls, I tell ya, you can keep it all and

She’s taking pictures of the stars at night She listens softly under pale moonlight but something’s wrong; Something’s wrong She’s got a bag half full inside her room She keeps it blackened like a funky tomb but not for long; Not for long If this young woman has her way, a different song She’s gonna show ‘em she can play a different song They said she’s gonna have to settle down Put her feet deep into solid ground but they don’t know; Ah, they don’t know She’s got some money saved from who knows where They’re gonna wake up soon, she won’t be there she’ll be long gone; Oh, long gone She’s got it written in her head, a different song She’s gonna play it ‘til she’s dead, a different song Yeah, she found a place to stay Found a place to spend her pay Found the will to keep away They said she’s gonna ruin her life for sure Hung up posters of her young and pure but far too late; Oh, far too late She’s tasting freedom like a hot sweet meal Could never dream up just how good this feels And it wasn’t wrong, oh, it wasn’t wrong Hears it echo through her room, a different song Every day a brand new tune, a different song Sing it screaming underneath the moon, a different song

about

This 4-song EP is Paul's third solo release. The songs on this release have been played at Paul's live shows for the last couple of years, and he felt that they needed their own spotlight, as Paul's long-time band Mike Budd (bass) and David Kendall (drums) bring them to new heights as usual. The EP features two songs co-written with partner-in-crime and BMI award-winning composer Ehren Ebbage, and also the vocal stylings of Amanda and Jenni Price from the West Coast's EDM outfit The AM/Acoustic Minds. In fact, track four is a bonus track that isolates their and Paul's vocals for a haunting mini-version of track one (Just to Get to You).

Lyrically, Paul reflects the era and concerns of his audience, whether reveling in the opportunity to be the best version of yourself, to lamenting the fractured state of political and social connection.
