I’ll see you in person and Pretend I like you I’m mad convincing I’m starting to believe that We’re already in hell Or some kind of alien simulation I really could be better to myself And I’m so bored all the time I feel like I’m dying Or at least I wish I was Everybody here is all the same Give them an inch and they will Take the mile away from you Users, abusers, anything but friends Still, anything’s better than hell I really could be better to myself I don’t pray anymore I don’t feel anything, anymore There was a time when I could help myself Still, anything’s better than hell I really should be better to nyself Anything’s better than hell Better to myself One of these days, I swear, I’ll be happy again

I heard, “only the good die young.” And it must be true, Because I’m still here And so are you I know I’m still young And I’ve got time, But time has never been on my side Sometimes I feel I’m being dragged away, Kicking and screaming I know I feel this way, ‘cause I’m Kicking and Screaming My mother, she’s a bad woman I’ve felt her cold, cold hands wrapped tightly Around my throat She’s only living what she knows, And she’s never been told I heard, “only the good die young.” And it must be true, Because I’m still here and so are you I had a good, good father He was my dream Darkness and a strong disease took Him away from me My mother, she only believes What she’s gonna believe There’s been no “wrong-doing” No bad seed For her to reap But just as sure as the moon will rise: He’ll take an eye for an eye And she’ll go Kicking and screaming Kicking and Screaming

What Sanity 04:27
You don’t have to love me I don’t have to tell you so Waiting up until midnight just To see if you come around I know, I know, I should’ve known Show me what sanity I have left Show me where it is you have slept Show me where the key is kept Because I want to be in your bed I am not crazy I am just sad Over, and over again I can’t cry I’m too mad Over, and over again Show me what sanity I have left Show me where it is you have slept Show me where the key is kept Show me what sanity I have left Show me where it is you have slept Show me where the key is kept Because I want to be in your bed

Hell Bent 03:14
I swear I’m hopeful, But I write hopeless songs And I’ve got no money, But I’m rich in love And I know the way, Oh I know the way to truth and light Still, I find myself Still, I find myself knocked down each night I’m hell bent on glory One day, I’ll buckle One day, I’ll buckle down and figure it out For now, I’ll struggle For now, I’ll struggle hard and wonder how To get out To get out And I know the way to truth and light Still, I find myself knocked down each night I’m hell bent I’m hell bent I’m hell bent on glory

Ten Weeks 04:18
I never thought I’d come this far I never thought I’d put this much distance Between me and them Two and a half hours to Mexico I’m eight hours from Amarillo And I would go farther, still I don’t know why I’m so dissatisfied I try and try - can’t seem to get it right How to become part of their plans I’m disconnected I am withdrawn And I am a facade I’m melancholic I am at arms length And I am probably wrong We weren’t raised to say, “I’m sorry.” We were raised to say that it’s Not our fault People always want what they can’t have So I’ll stop offering Myself up And I’m not looking for a reason to run away But I haven’t found a reason to stay I’m disconnected I am withdrawn And I am a facade I’m melancholic I am at arms length And I am probably wrong I’m probably wrong

about

Lady Dan Austin, Texas

Working out of Texas but with roots in Birmingham, Alabama, Lady Dan makes music which is self-described as “Melancholic cowboy sounds you can cry in front of your cat to.” Taken from her recent EP, ‘What Sanity’ takes this aesthetic and runs in the direction of unrequited love, detailing the soul-sucking sensation of falling for someone when they are indifferent to your very existence. ... more
