Slipping Away 03:48
lyrics
buy track
I feel like I am a magnet A fictional truth to you Attracted but what's the use When you’re hard up for the day I'm slipping away I'm slipping away I'm slipping away It's a sad truth I might say I'm slipping away When I'm holding onto you It’s almost like you knew It colors me untrue I feel the love for me today I'm slipping away I'm slipping away I'm slipping away It's a sad truth I might say I'm slipping away I am feeling more like a stranger When I step up to you I solely missed and shoot A basket case today I'm slipping away I'm slipping away I'm slipping away It's a sad truth I might say I'm slipping away Copyright © 2018 Eric Hess.

Aok 03:22
lyrics

Back of a sunrise Hanging on like dead flies It’s hard to keep it civilized When you wanna run away Its hard to keep it Kool-Aid Bubbling like champagne There’s always something to complain Take it up or down a notch So you want to take a ride No I never want to die Complementing suicide Everything is A.O.K Cinematic dramatic Television TV static Everything is to theatric Put ‘em on a pedestal But in the end It’s all overrated Don’t worry your head It’s not worth saying Evil people tend to thrive Kind people tend to die Everything is symbolized Whatever you wish to be Stand up or take a seat Everyone is onto me Turn the corner there I’ll be Paranoia’s gotten to me Cigarettes another thing Maybe I could never sing Even if I wanted to I can only come across Sinfully fulfilling It’s o.k. it’s everything If it’s fun, It’s gonna sting Life is the cause of death So you want to take a ride No I never want to die Complementing suicide Everything is A.O.K Copyright © 2018 Eric Hess.

It's ok Boy 03:45
lyrics
buy track
It’s the uncertainty that maybe we might fall It’s the truth inside of me or wanting it all I could hold my breath and hope when I fall I land and stand a little less tall I’m in your face, boy I don’t care anymore It’s the always or never at all It’s the too late or too early to tell I could hold on but it’s a slippery slope If I let go at the end of my rope I’m in your face, boy I don’t care anymore I’m in your face boy! I don’t care anymore Copyright © 2018 Eric Hess. All rights reserved.

Radio Rocker 03:04
lyrics
buy track
These old rocker rodeos Eating pop star country souls Cashing in on simple minds Making pennies out of dimes This old rocker radio Exploiting everything that I know Placing bets on which will go Billboard charts don’t make you gold This old rocker radio Plays the chords that move my soul Nothing left to feed the pen This old rocker’s gone again Beat your body to the chrome Casting shadows on the moon Beauty comes beneath the trees Riding on a silver breeze Willingly he rests his head Wishing softly in his bed I can hear him in my dreams His songs reside in memories This old rocker radio Plays the chords that move my soul Nothing left to feed the pen This old rocker’s gone again Copyright © 2018 Eric Hess.

Almost Always 03:39
lyrics
buy track
It’s almost always but please just call me Even if you don’t want to I would love to hear from you my friend It came upon me as if I was wanting To say goodbye to you before you went away again It’s hard to let go but I think you might have known I bent it back until maybe it would break and you would let me back in You left me wanting as if you were haunting The same old familiar face suddenly appeared again You could have called me before you were falling In and out of touch I would have been right here It’s hard to let go but I think you might have known I bent it back until maybe it would break and you would let me back in Copyright © 2018 Eric Hess.
