The Ballad of Jack and Jill 04:08
lyrics

Got on the bus today, feeling like a needle in the hay At my desk someday, Alone in my house everyday But time just seems to slip away As though the fates were trying to push you my way And then I met you that day Hands interlocked, the Ship has been docked We will never, we will never be alone anymore Hands interlocked, the Ship has been docked We will never, we will never be alone anymore It was a sunny day, walking down the street with a smile on my face Holding your hand today, tonight we find ourselves at my place But life just seems to slip away I love it when you call out my name And then I met you that day Hands interlocked, the Ship has been docked We will never, we will never be alone anymore Hands interlocked, the Ship has been docked We will never, we will never be alone anymore But life moves on, I grew strong, with you but now I have grown past this I want to stay, with you but babe Someday somewhere someone else is calling my name Hands interlocked, the Ship has been docked We will never, we will never be alone anymore Hands interlocked, the Ship has been docked We will never, we will never be alone anymore

I don’t know how happened, I think you were this goes I know where I am heading, but I don't wanna know I don’t want to know I don’t want to know Battlefield brothers don't leave you alone But it happened when it did, it was out in the cold Out in the cold, Out in the cold Shots in my heart, bullet holes in my soul These scars always show, but you will never know In a hospital bed, I must’ve thought that I was dead See all these things inside my head, Life is hanging by a thread, Life is hanging by a thread, Life is hanging by a thread Going in guns a-blazing brings me back to those years When I was 27 and immune to my fears And immune to my fears, and immune to my fears Shots in my heart, bullet holes in my soul These scars always show, but you will never know

I don’t know why i gotta be some kind of hero I don’t know why you think you’re above the clouds I don’t know why you can't wipe the smile off your face But you’re still the one person I cannot replace I feel all of the pressure building inside I feel all of the pressure building inside I don’t care about the world we’re in, you and I, I end this fight But I feel like I’m being ripped apart, suicide I traveled across the world, searching for answers, I I traveled across the world, I traveled Across time I’m Gonna get up today, walk out the door Take all my money and fly back home I’m gonna walk right through ya out of this mess Pick up the pieces and rebuild the rest I feel all of the pressure building inside I feel all of the pressure building inside I don’t care about the world we’re in, you and I, I end this fight But I feel like I’m being ripped apart, suicide I traveled across the world, searching for answers, I I traveled across the world, I traveled Across time Pressure, I feel the pressure inside Pressure, I feel the pressure I don’t care about the world we’re in, you and I, I end this fight But I feel like I’m being ripped apart, suicide I traveled across the world, searching for answers, I I traveled across the world, I traveled across time

Shellshocked 03:33

Titanium hearts were porcelain for you This means goodbye, no time for two You broke my heart and trashed my house I’m taking this to the courthouse These things we do to each other The things we do to one another These things we do you know It’s hard to be it’s hard to be together I’m shellshocked, shellshocked I recorded these mem’ries in my machine They all fell out into the unseen I have to run away, don’t reach for my hand This wasn’t meant to be a one-night stand These things we do to each other The things we do to one another These things we do you know It’s hard to be it’s hard to be together I’m shellshocked, shellshocked

about

Our first EP follows the story of Jack and Jill, who met on the hard streets of Los Angeles. They were drawn to each other’s longing for genuine human connection. The two lovers eventually separate after Jack recalls his experiences as a soldier when his comrades left him high and dry in a cold winter’s battlefield. He was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for treatment of his PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) after the war. Since then, Jack has worked as a corporate strategist in Los Angeles where he maintains a rather lonely lifestyle. Most of his time is either spent in meeting rooms, in his office, or in his apartment. Jill has gone through abusive relationships in the past. This led her to become an alcoholic. During the time they spend together, Jill had a flashback to one of her prior relationships. She then proceeded to cause considerable property damage to Jack’s apartment, which led to a massive legal battle. Jill eventually died of alcohol poisoning shortly after Jack’s legal victory. Over the course of the relationship, Jack recorded the memories he and Jill made in his Radioshack tape machine from when he was in high school so many years ago. The story of their love has been immortalized in this EP, although they are now apart, the story lives forever.
