I Catch Fire
03:02
|

I'm getting out of Maytown
Keystone state wants to keep me
I hear they're cleaning up downtown
I'm making plans to leave here
I catch fire
From the inside
I catch fire
Sleep in my eyes before daylight
Hit the pavement at 4AM
Of all the days in my life
And all the schemes I made up
I catch fire
From the inside
I catch fire
I've been leafing through pages
I've been reading your books and how
Why won't you ever release them?
It's the key I need right now

The Last Frontier
03:19
|

The tide had gone out
No one left swimming for the shore
We sure held out
In it to win it for sure
Went on location
No countrymen to stand with
Like a lone sandpiper
You've got to learn how to grift
Then the big one came and I did jet
Let's get clear
I left you hanging back and I went out on the last frontier
No loss of freedom
No ties or cross braces to bind
Just moved it forward
Tone arm to the next gap on this side
When the coil hummed and the engine turned
I meant it sincere
While you're waiving back I went out on the last frontier

Right as Rain
03:27
|

Carefully I close the door
Don't want to wake the neighbors
You see me as culpable I'm sure
A moment you can savor
I ain't innocent and I don't feel it
No ray of sun will help a dream once come undone
And you know it just the same right as rain
Your car takes off a cigarrette stamped out
Cardinals in the yard flew away
If you come after I've checked out
Will I ever know your pain?
But in a sense I feel it
No ray of sun will help a dream once come undone
And you know it just the same right as rain
And in a sense and I feel like
Fading from the frame
And I know to you it's just the same right as rain
I ain't innocent and I don't feel it
No ray of sun can help a dream that's come undone
And you know it just the same right as rain

Mythical Creatures
03:36
|

At the time I was a wreck you said to me
Let's get out of the rain
And the light on the street in the residences
Well they smoothed out the pain
And the lower I got well the higher you seemed
It's all in who you know
If I can't Impress you how can I expect you
To get on with the show
And you go
And you go
To the arms of the mythical creatures
But you know they got no better than what you've got
When the burn is too much we can raise a glass
And laugh at the rain
And delight in obVIous disparity
Our worlds ain't the same
And you go
And you go
To the arms of the mythical creatures
But you know they got no better than what you've got
And they don't look like you
And they don't live like me
But your dreams carried on their dreams
That's all you want to be
And you go
And you go
To the arms of the mythical creatures
But you know they got no better than what you've got

All Summer Long
02:36
|
|||
Winter rings and we're cold as stone
As the day is dark and the night is cold
It's an compromise that we can't explain
You and me always feel it anyway
All summer long we dance and sing
Autumn birds won't soon take wing
All summer long just you and me
Finally free on that breeze and we're home
Ther'es a bitter sting in our hearts in fall
Then we count the days 'til the old man is gone
Follow me to the heart of the town
Until next spring when we circle around
All summer long we dance and sing
Autumn birds won't soon take wing
All summer long just you and me
Finally free on that breeze and we're home
All summer long we dance and sing
Til nightbirds gather and take wing
All summer long just you and me
Finally free on that breeze and we're home

Just Watch Me
03:38
|

Winter hurts
The smell of burning wood
Feels colder than it should
The snow is calmly falling
At sunrise
The blankets and the fire
Romantics turned to liars
No saviors, ain't no callings
Dawn in my my eyes
Forced open at first light
No need to say it
I can't feign yet another day
Just watch me as I turn
Just Watch me as I learn to walk away
From this old vacant house
The sun obscured by clouds
Won't penetrate the curtains
We know this
The day comes to its end
The gate closed on the fence
Come evening time slow burning
It was nice
But the days I gave to you
I want ' em back they don't belong to you
If you want the truth
Just watch me as I turn
Just Watch me as I learn to walk away
The night has come too soon
The coda to our tune
This song has faded surely

Last to Know
02:44
|

I can read it aloud
And saw what you wrote, I read it
Still I don't know
Are you just being kind here?
It aIn't just simple prose, it's poetic
So why'm I still No go?
Always the last one to feel things
Always missing that final piece
Always the last one to read the book
Always the last one to get into the story now
I'm the last one to know
The last one to feel anything
I can play your song now
And listen all day, I hear it
So far yet so near
You sing so divine and how
Your melody's strong, it's beautiful
It's all I can hear
Always the last one to join in
Always late on the last refrain
Always the last one to clap in time
Always the last one invited to the dance and now
I'm the last one to know
The last one to feel anything at all

Beautiful Addiction
03:30
|
|||
When the night time draws near
An old familiar fear keeps me chaiend with a promise to hold you
It's a tale I make up
A tale to believe in with an unwilling partner that is you
Giving me hope for a future that will never see daylight
It's a lie I tell myself to help me sleep
It's a dream I remember every moment I'm awake
A nightly tradition this beautiful addiction is killing me
If the least is the best that you will ever give
Don't share it with my alter ego
It will conjure untruths that fit me like a suit
Tailored to please me alone
So don't give me hope for a future that you know won't come to pass
It's a lie you're telling me so I won't weep
It's a love just a love that will never come to be
It's the latest edition of a beautiful addiction that's killing me
When the shades are drawn closed and the only thing to see
Is a pale blue light and a memory
Of you with me embracing however faint it seems
I'll will hold on forever or until I fall asleep
Giving me hope for a future that will never see daylight
It's a lie I tell myself to help me sleep
It's a dream I remember every moment I'm awake I wake
A nightly tradition this beautiful addiction is killing me
It's a love just a love that will never come to be
It's my own rendition this beautiful addiction is killing me

Brian Larney Bridgeport, Connecticut
Brian Larney is a singer-songwriter from Black Rock, Ct, who is as directly accessible as he is enigmatic. His music ranges from the simply beautiful to the complex and artistic. He has said he is “haunted by hooks,” and that is clearly evident in his latest music that seems rooted in the pop writers of the mid to late 1960’s as the alt-folk artists of today that he is often compared to. ... more
