1. Appalachia Pt.1
I don’t know where we’re going now,
But I want to go there with you.
2. Do I Really Want Something More
We dance toward the ground, hoping to find treasure
We open up ourselves and run to take cover
But we’re ensnared
In the series of the past four weeks, I’d say
I’ve been living my life like nothings gonna change
Everything going day by day
I worry I’m becoming stuck inside my ways
Every second close to you
Was time enough to grow apart from you
God knows that we’ve forgotten things
Each other’s faces, each other's names
But as I travel in time
Why don’t my words come back to bite?
There’s something old I couldn’t bear
Something too widespread to care
I’ll break the cycle, leave this place
Put some fiction in my face
I’ll hold the old self over a fire
And tragically lose all I’ve worked for
But I’ll live through hell
And I can live through hell
Don’t fall too far don’t fall too fast
I cannot tell when things get bad
What am I working for
It’s just a song, it’s nothing more
3. Ollie Cook
(In real life? Yes in real life!)
The “Wolftown Psycho” is on the loose
But fear not fellas cause the name is a ruse
Who is the man behind the monicker you ask
Well the answer, is Ollie Cook
The driveway camera saw the reality
The truest depiction in all his mystique
Esteemed film director and comic relief
I opened my mouth and I started to speak
His life is a movie and movies excite
So let’s take the train down to Wolftown tonight
Let’s spend some time staring at the silver screen
And smile with the audience as we take our seats
The “Wolfown Psycho” is on the run
But fear not fellas cause it’s all in good fun
It’s much less a manhunt and much more a strut
So let’s settle down now as the show’s just begun
The driveway camera saw the reality
The truest depiction in all his mystique
Esteemed film director and comic relief
I opened my mouth and I started to speak
His life is a movie and movies excite
So let’s take the train down to Wolftown tonight
Let’s spend some time staring at the silver screen
And smile with the audience as we take our seats
Cause life is a ball when you’re larger than life
So let’s take some time just to look at the lights
Let’s spend some time daring to look past the screen
The world is your audience, stage beneath your feet
His life is a movie and movies excite
So let’s take the train down to Wolftown tonight
Let’s spend some time staring at the silver screen
And smile with the audience as we take our seats
4. Clementine County
When we were changing seasons
I felt the eyes peer down outside your house
I remember it so well I don’t know why
I caught your glance what felt like a million times
But if you want to
I can hold you close again
It’s our secret to defend
If you want to
‘Till risen again
I saw your name in a sign on the road
Your bed was still empty by the time-
We had to go
And everyone around us who’s expecting me to brace for change
Will be disappointed in me if I do not stay the same
For every lasting impression I didn’t want to make
I hope you find a new version of me to kill and take his place
But it’s been far too long since autumn days
Now words so useless as these are all I can say
But if you want to
I know a place where we can go
It’s far away but we’ll make it home
If you want to
We’ll rest on the steps
I felt away the other night
Your running water left me light
I never saw, I never heard
You never gave your final word
I never got to know myself
I never felt this strong a change
Trust the process clementine,
County’s always on my mind
Do you mind tuning in if only for a minute?
And every day I spent down for some way out of a made-up problem
Every morning waking me up where I started
Let me travel down this road without your guidance
Let me get lost on my own
I could get lost on the wind
I’ll just go to bed thirsty
One day I’ll do something I can’t derail
I knew that I loved you
And you were the star shining outside my window
Just another late night
Scaring myself by grasping at plans for the future
I often find I am very confused, please does that make me at all alike you
May you move me? May you move me tonight?

6. Appalachia Pt.2 [with Dog Beds]
I saw you dancing in a house that’d been abandoned since
The 2008 recession had evicted its-
Previous owner, expansive homestead now forclosure
I know the countryside’s alive
I saw you rising out of sunken fields in state forests
I felt you beam into my heart and fill me up with bliss
Your hair is colored clover, baby nature’s taking over
I know the countryside’s alive
Shifting your sky I know you hear what I say
But please won’t you believe me that it’s not too late
The dark in the daylight, the power of your eyesight
I dreamed we’d walk this land until we die
I heard you playing a song that set my heart ablaze
And I got lost looking for meaning in the music’s maze
The world that you conceive, the cards that you deal me
And I know the countryside’s alive
As we treaded the trails to the peaks
I could hardly breathe let alone fucking speak
I could feel your energy in the air
And I knew you were there
Can you believe the view from up here
I could feel the wind pushing through my hair
And I knew we shouldn’t despair, not yet
I saw you scaling your way into the mountaintops
Climbing up to heaven on prehistoric rocks
Your love is overwhelming, I wish you would tell me
But I know the countryside’s alive
I saw you fall apart in the flowing water
And I wanted to repair you but you said don’t bother
The indifference just kills me, despite how you heal me
But I know the countryside’s alive
As we treaded the trails to the peaks
I could hardly breathe let alone fucking speak
I could feel your energy in the air
And I knew you were there
Can you believe the view from up here
I could feel the wind pushing through my hair
And I knew we shouldn’t despair, not yet
I felt your presence floating
And tumbling down mountainsides
And I saw your blood was flowing
And I knew you must be alive
And I couldn't hide forever
You Must've known that in your mind
And they could obscure your eyesight
But I'll make sure that you don't go blind
If I loved you would you open up your secrets?
Deeper than the ocean, this forest holds so much more than you and I could ever know
And we drove to Appalachia
With plenty of places to hide
And we ran across the mountains
Where acid would rain from the sky
And at the end of the day, we'd lay
To look at the stars shining bright
And we drove to Appalachia
Wondering what we would find
7. Dark Spot on the Map
And so I met you at the water
With the ionized salt
And Isopropyl alcohol
The alcohol was darkened
It poured across the year old leaves
And over your hands
8. Carried Far Away On A Strong Wind
Bonus Track: Bulk Building
Ain’t it an ordinary day
I woke up in the red
I woke up I was running
I saw my legs were moving
And i didn’t know where they were taking me
My name is set in stone
May your willpower send you home
I reserve my right to stay
Before it all goes down
I hear the bells they ring
Awoken by the wind
Where did it all go wrong
Where did it all go wrong

Misses intimacy
Please let me fall asleep
I ask of nothing more than your pardoning
Misses intimacy
I'll only fall asleep
I know that I'm thinking Strange
But it's my life I'll make the change
Oh Glory

And no matter much I try to understate it
I will always feel the same
I will always feel the same
