old birds 03:21
do you love the one you love? does she give your life security? does she make your house a home to leave instead of just a room you keep your friends around? if you love to be replaced you must do it for the charity it must help to keep your wits off end while your heart is on the mend and yourself out of the bed but does it even matter when it keeps you up at night? when the birds are getting older but the patterns flown ain't right do you love the one you love? do you even seem to notice her? will it matter in a year or two while she’s hanging on to you and you’ve gone and blended hues?

stubborn 05:24
i don’t wanna wait, i just want a life where I can have a part in everything and nothing at the same time i don’t find this moment unusual ‘cept the fact that it’s mine i just want the things that are wrong with me to be part of all the things that are right i don’t want to get used to heartbreak oh, that feeling’s too cold i just wanna dip my feet in the pool it’s refreshing to my stubborn mind i don’t wanna get married i just want a wife oh, God, give me a woman who understands everything with no idea what I’m talking about i don’t want to get used to heartbreak oh, that feeling’s too cold i just wanna dip my feet in the pool it’s refreshing to my stubborn mind oh, the month of October, it’s chilly and it’s warm it’s scary and it’s charming; it’s everything at once it’s funny how so easily it all can fall apart October decorations look torn up from the start i don’t want you to see me crying she still knows my pain i don’t mind if my tears don’t solve anything not worth the blame if there’s nothing to save

you were standing still in the middle of a field waiting for the grass to grow underneath your feet, the presence of a whirlwind we once made so unannounced & misbehaved will make you hope for even more some flowers through it all tell me when will this become a gale that whisks away the act rather than cutting you with wanting more? catch a miracle & walk away you're a firefly in a dusty mason jar small holes are in it's top shall i let you fly away? leaving nothing to my name; more and more but all the same... catch a miracle & walk away
5.
late at night, you’re walking in your slumber picking at the pieces from the day a celibate subordinate in question a crooked kid in a sleepless straight conundrum oh, lets be frank you’ll never tank all in working order you’re at the gig, it’s you we’ve all come after it’s not the way you’d think, but here we are so heated are your sunken eyes from staring through broken frames at what you hoped you’d get that ship has sank only you to thank all in working order they’re blocking all your calls, why don’t you notice? an inquiry for a message at the tone won’t come to those who are no good at waiting like a scientist who claims before the proof take the first flight out of here to California find another way to flesh out your appearance to celebrate in rapist style behavior you’ll never quit you fucking piece of shit always one step after oh, lets be frank you’ll never tank all in working order
6.
you can beg a teen to dream but you can’t make em’ think you’re entitled to ambition still, I can’t help you out miseducation is now understood by the masses i can be afraid of facts that prove that you’re the fragile one “afraid of love” i can watch you eat the carrot that we grew together from the ground and watch you spit it out like a toddler eating vegetables for the first time you don’t know the half of what the hell you’re doing miseducation is now understood by the masses
7.
start again 04:01
somehow i seem to know when it’s a dream there’s no hazy glowish hue that could give me any clues and nothing’s too compelling that could tip me off at all give me something real to believe in sometimes i can barely tow the line but I take it for a ride it’s a trip I can afford maybe it’s the thrill of some disaster when the road has no policemen give me something real to believe in i don’t frequent movies anymore i just pass the time by closing eyes and when the morning comes when they call about my APR i know that my day will start again just like it has before give me something real to believe in

about

Sean Rubin Hartford, Connecticut

Recorded while living at Casa De Warrenton, “everybody shares a name” takes it's lead from classic golden age songwriters of the mid-late 20th century, all the while nodding towards a style of music that lives a bit more left of center. At the core of his songs lies deep sense of conviction and sentiment which describe an unapologetic yet introspective look at shared life experiences. ... more
