The same fear as you We’re all here alone Now I’m a World War Broken swords These dreams of ours Got up and walked out To take a look around Gave a wave when they said goodbye Burned by the sun Burned by the sun And we all will be undone Burned by the sun The cold ground we knew Cracked and crumbled Take my past with you All those blue skies Shone on my face Till they gave up the ghost Playing like I could catch the moon Right here you’ll blind me Burned by the sun Burned by the sun And we all will be undone Burned by the sun

Out of Here 02:59
I’m just a whisper And I feel I’m spread too thin The sun dried the water And the mountainside caved in I never cried out From the flames Don’t want to wait for death I hear it coming Maybe I’ll catch my breath As soon as we get out of here The creatures in my head They’ll still be humming Long after we’re both dead We’re never getting out of here I saw you flicker With the rushing of the wind We heard the thunder As the end of things begins I tried to pry off These chains Don’t want to wait for death I hear it coming Maybe I’ll catch my breath As soon as we get out of here The skies are turning red Now I feel nothing We’re hanging by a thread We’re never getting out of here The creatures in my head They’ll still be humming Long after we’re both dead We’re never getting out of here
3.
Too Far Gone 04:05
We could shine lie the moon It’s already catching fire like some forgotten room And we could watch as the whole house burns down We don’t have to turn the car around We’re old enough to know we’re not immune Say we’ll be fine Before we get too far gone It’s alright to lie I just need some light To get me through this long, dark night I’m no heavier than you So throw my bones on the fire and I will bloom The flames are indifferent to the truth They only hold onto the souls that they consume And we could watch as the whole world burns down Now that we’re the only ones around We’re bold enough to see this thing through Say we’ll be fine Before we get too far gone It’s alright to lie I just need some light To get me through this long, dark night
4.
The Wreckage 02:33
We were broken Heavy as the sun Before we’d ever wandered on I tried to warn you Though the trail is long I would fail you again Can you come out of this Still holding the heart of me? Can we wake up from this And pull ourselves out of the wreckage? I lost hope The night forever gone In truth I never was alone They stood before us And you would cut them down As I failed you again Can you come out of this Still holding the heart of me? Can we wake up from this And pull ourselves out of the wreckage?
5.
Don’t you say your time has come Looking back past traffic cones And we’re lost from our homes We’re like dust and we’re brushed to the ground Still this haze keeps clinging around So we’ll drive through the fire There’s nothing so strange As when half of you fades Nothing so strange There’s nothing so strange Don’t slip away I won’t do this alone All our days lay crushed like bone And we’re lost from our homes All this rust still peels from our skin Both of us can feel it wear thin And the ghosts will come in There’s nothing so strange As when half of you fades Nothing so strange There’s nothing so strange
6.
My hands they listen The earth makes no sound I slither onward Crawling on the ground The river moans Swallowed into the soil If I should fall behind Say you won’t weep You won’t weep for me Find shade from the light Find peace when you sleep Some peace without me My skin crackles And my ankles are bound I slither onward I can’t turn around These splintered bones And this blood will boil If I should fall behind Say you won’t weep You won’t weep for me Find shade from the light Find peace when you sleep Some peace without me
7.
When the world is shattered Like some crystal sphere And everything in between the cracks of the earth is swallowed We lived not just in some vast fields Or dense streets We lived free And when the world is overcome by silence Nothing said in the end And when the world is overcome by silence We’ll begin again
8.
The same fear as you We’re all here alone Now I’m a World War Broken swords These dreams of ours Got up and walked out To take a look around Gave a wave when they said goodbye Burned by the sun Burned by the sun And we all will be undone Burned by the sun The cold ground we knew Cracked and crumbled Take my past with you All those blue skies Shone on my face Till they gave up the ghost Playing like I could catch the moon Right here you’ll blind me Burned by the sun Burned by the sun And we all will be undone Burned by the sun

about

In Measured Hundredweight is my second solo album, and the first album that I've produced fully by myself. It's a post-apocalyptic journey inspired by the movie Logan, and the Johnny Cash classic The Man Comes Around.

My No More Kings partner Neil DeGraide mixed it. And it was mastered by Shelley Anderson of Black Lab Mastering.
