Remember when
You were little
You were a child then
Are you still
Nobody else
Can knock you down
It's up to you
Who you let push you around
So don't let your heart extinguish
You only got one after all
Trying to make yourself distinguished
Setting yourself up for a fall
Why am I working so hard
I can't take it
Why am I working so hard
Running only gets you so far
I can't make it
Running only gets you so far
Tried to believe
I could keep up
Going so hard
Just to give up
Digging an early grave
Your time or your money
Which will you save
And don't let your heart extinguish
You only got one after all
Trying to make yourself distinguished
Setting yourself up for a fall
I've been hit with a faraway feeling
When I'm out so far from family
We're just like cartoon characters
As if someone really cares
Someone take me home
Why am I working so hard
I can't take it
Why am I working so hard
Running only gets you so far
I can't make it
Running only gets you so far
Why am I working so hard
I can't take it
Why am I working so hard
Running only gets you so far
I can't make it
Running only gets you so far

Don't Waste My Time

Gotta shine shoes
Gotta pay your dues
Here in the city
I'm trying
But I haven't got mine
Better get busy
Newfound status and fortune
Looking so pretty
But it's still outta my hands
Ain't it a pity
Don't waste
My time
Don't make me
Run and hide
Don't make this
Harder than it
Has to be
I'm so
Afraid
To tell you
Right to your face
You better not be coming
After me
When I say it's over
It is over
When you say you know
I really wonder
Made a big stack but I'm
Breaking my back
On the pavement
Gotta play it cool
But I don't feel
Much like behavin'
All of these lies
Make you feel
Brokenhearted
Thought I'd shoot straight
But it's too late
I'm back where I started
Don't waste
My time
You gotta keep in mind
Nobody ever gets a
Second chance
I'm so
Afraid
To tell you
Right to your face
You better not be coming
After me

Unprepared

It's hard for everyone
All of us under the sun
Knowing your next breath
Could be your last
It's tough to feel good enough
It's hard to keep on going
When you need a friend
And they're not there
We all come into this thing
Unprepared
We still all get up caught up in the
Pandemonium
It might work for some
But I can't help the feeling
That it's all make-believe
Where do we go from here
Doing this all on our own
We shouldn't have to be so
Arrogant
How do we think we got here
Everybody's helping us out
It doesn't help to be
Belligerent
Well hey
What have we done
I think we're having too much fun
No one ever bothers to look up
You turn around
The moment's passed
Seems like nothing ever lasts
Doesn't give us time to
Think this through
You think words don't have power
But they do
It might be wishful thinking
But it's all that we can do
Gotta long way to go
Taking one step at a time
You know that we still have to
Feed ourselves
How do we think we got here
Everybody's helping us out
Do unto others as you would yourself

Race To The Bottom

Always in a hurry
Well who is not these days
You try so hard to make a living wage
You know what you still owe
And it's much more
Than you can save
Now you're feeling hungry
You want something to eat
The jobs you have sure
Keep you on your feet
Check to see what you have left
And it's much less
Than you had last week
Cause it's a race to the bottom
While they stay at the top
Yes it's a race to the bottom
A race that never stops
Maybe things could even out
But this is still their plan
Give you less and less
And take as much as they can
And tell you you're no better off
Without them
And that's all you need to know
Cause it's a race to the bottom
While they stay at the top
Yes it's a race to the bottom
A race that never stops
Yes it's a race to the bottom
While they stay at the top
It's a race to the bottom
A race that never stops
A race that never stops
A race that never stops

It's All Come Down

Hey man
You've done everything you can
You've taken much more
Than you can hold in your hands
Nothing's wrong
It's been OK all along
You shouldn't have to
Listen to this song
Now it's all come down
To whether you bring
Love in your life
Too late now
To keep yourself up
Night after night
Say it like you mean it
Is it not the real thing
Just have to believe it
Like I believe in you
Now it's all come down
To whether you bring
Love in your life
Too late now
To keep yourself up
Night after night
Say it like you mean it
Is it not the real thing
Just have to believe it
Like I believe in you

Niagara Moon Northampton, Massachusetts
Just call me the Maestro of MIDI. Composing lush, whimsical pop songs to feel less old and cranky...
Niagara Moon recommends:
First Impressions
by Erin Snape
A rare and exciting find. Erin Snape has an amazing ear for song structure, melody, and arrangement that's truly beyond her years. So many of these songs have moments that make your hair stand on end.
go to album
A consummate storyteller, with such an elegant baroque sound perfect for old souls. It's such a retro vibe, yet the album is undoubtedly modern and shows a lot of new ideas lyrically and musically.
go to album
This guy can't make a bad record. Love the electronic flourishes balanced with the classic acoustic songwriter energy. Lots of playfulness, experimentation, and an intriguing mood of ambiguity...
