Bailout 03:23
I may appear a collected man, but its so tiring pretending if everything just goes as planned she'll get a place with me in the city where all the hustle and the bustle make you feel important too why do i get out of bed its just another day to lose on my bike on my way to work and its so beautiful around me tend to a fortunes ever growing worth and Haring's elephant in the room on 2. an occupation bleeding nation rests its laurels on the shelf don't give a shit about the poor all that we care about is wealth Just like Owen who's throwing his momma right from that train you can pay off your problems before they can track your name you'll get bailed out count jail out escape on a holiday just like Owen who's throwing his momma right from that train keep cutting education funding and they'll question method less you'll get your sheep to herd around and watch the stifling progress

Slick Talk 04:25
The house is at the bottom of the reservoir and its been missing on the maps for years and years you can watch take it all because the world is ours so why not go and live those couple years saw the oil running out into the gulf and they said "take a couple years to fix it here" all the money in the world couldn't save their souls they'll burn in hell if they believe its there Just like the rest I just need to survive just need to survive until I get up on my feet I'm dragging you down here with me and its not gonna be pretty in fact I promise it won't be always always... if you don't get it right if you start to lose sight if you all don't get it right just try and try and try until the day you die The house is at the bottom of the reservoir and its been missing on the maps for years and years you can watch take it all because the world is ours so why not go and live those couple years Just like the rest I just need to survive just need to survive to live those couple years...

the longer we wait the closer we become counting them out desperate clinging to someone with no future in sight of it all even in my mind  so grab your gun and lock those doors  cause it a dangerous world their selling you but the poison goes down so smooth  masking any temperament inside of you If I forget and you must repeat again dont take too much offense and lets just play it off if you can live with that Get your nose out of my business its my life I'll do what I will with it pull your head out of your asshole see life is just dying to kill and when I'm gone everything that I've ever done will be forgotten in no time flat how am I s'posed to live with that?

They got you a bed in the hall at the hospital  so high on morphine you can't even tell  the lights above my head aren't halos coming down We got the titantic sinking in the waiting room the academy's finest portraying its doom and I'm out here alone watching this ship going down why do I, why do I worry I might be going home alone tonight  over capacity here at the hospital with the finest equipment best doctors on call and its looking likely that we'll be heading home soon time ticks away at least its what we like to say try to catch up by your dying day time ticks away....

about

Rust Belt songwriter, Erik Pitluga, delivers indie rock intertwined with the spirit of folk on his debut EP, Until This Star Explodes. The songs take a stripped down acoustic guitar-centric approach blending layers of electric guitars, ambient instrumentation, and minimal percussion all paired with his melodic vocals and absorbing lyrics.

After years of sporadically releasing singles between his time touring and recording as drummer for Roger Harvey & The Wild Life and guitarist of A Voice Like Rhetoric, he's consolidated a seven-track solo release that features his own brand of songwriting. A collection of self-produced material, some dating as far back as 2008,
Until This Star Explodes, echoes influence from early American Football and Death Cab For Cutie. This album is now available digitally and on extremely limited lathe cut vinyl (/25) via I Am Shark.
