Strung up like a carcass Decomposing from the sun In the psychiatric warm Notre Dame is burning down Your cover's up in smoke Find a place outside of town Moncado Mocando Moncado Mocando Moncado Mocando Gravel views from mountain tops Hiding in a joke In the studio you stole Tracing bloodstains through the dark Wherever you go Hope you find some part of home Moncado Mocando Moncado Mocando Moncado Mocando

Stares 02:20
(As for me) Lost between the tracks (A million eyes) Peering through the cracks (We could leave) Life without a care (We could hide) Underneath the stares I've done the best I can (Take anything) To take my mind away from where I am (Would you believe) I'm smarter than I seem (We could hide) Far behind the seen
3.
For Nothing 03:17
And when it's all or nothing You can't afford to love him You find it hard forgetting You came so far for nothing Crying out "won't someone rescue me?" I'm coming up I'm giving in I've had enough I'm losing it And when it's all behind you You're blinded by the see-through You look so long for comfort You find you're good for nothing Crying out "won't someone rescue me?" I'm coming up I'm giving in I've had enough I'm losing it

Maybe Carey 02:40
Carey wants to know why it takes so long Or is she making fun of me In a broken bed days go on, go on Maybe Carey's all I need Maybe Carey's all I need Maybe Carey talk to me Maybe Carey's all I need Carey doesn't know what she wants from me Listens to her Cake and eats it too L--n on the floor of her menagerie Spending all her time looking after me, after me Maybe Carey's all I need Maybe Carey's all I need Maybe Carey talk to me Maybe Carey's all I need

Never been so far away Innocent so far History I can't escape And I can't wait to throw it all away Letters in the fireplace Records unreturned Boxes full of wasted days And everything I am And I can't wait to throw it all away And I can't wait to throw it all away I can't wait to throw it all away Drifting into outer space Comets at my feet Feeling with no time or place I don't recall a thing And I can't wait to throw it all away And I can't wait to throw it all away And I can't wait to throw it all away And I can't wait to throw it all away And I can't wait to throw it all away And I can't wait to throw it all away

Let Down 04:56
Hurry up I'm tearing all my hair out Ain't got all day Waiting for another let down Shut it down I had a premonition About a common cold Is it a competition Or another let down Hurry up Can we skip the good part Or take a break Waiting for another let down
7.
The word came down From up on high He's up too high I turned around As you walked by Evade your sights And start to feel nothing You start to feel nothing Is it up to me? Can you choose what to believe? And when I woke Accosted by The morning light You watch me choke And turn aside Avert your eyes And start to feel nothing You start to feel nothing Is it up to me? Can you choose what to believe? You start to feel nothing You start to feel nothing You start to feel nothing
8.
Talk to me Am I missing Something that you're giving Talk to me If I'm drifting Would you come and take it Take it from me Annie's on the phone Keeping out the cold Andy's in the past Smoking down his last Talk to me Am I lacking Something that you're racking Talk to me When I'm laughing Someone come and take it Take it from me Annie's on the phone Keeping out the cold Andy's in the past Smoking down his last I don't think about you I just called to let you know That I don't think about you I just wanted you to know I don't think about you I just called to let you know That I don't think about you I just wanted you to know

Jealous 04:45
Hey Are you still sleeping This time of day Is it too late I should have known It would all end this way I should have gone Or asked you to stay I hope There's nobody out there Hears when you call And yet I should have known I can't trust myself To leave you alone To want someone else I'll tell you a secret If you can keep it I know it's pathetic I'm jealous I'm jealous I'm jealous I'm jealous And when you're here I bite my tongue And disappear under the sun Are you alone, I tell myself You're better off with someone else I know you can see it The way you were breathing It's nobody's secret I know you can see it The way you were breathing It's nobody's secret I'm jealous I'm jealous I'm jealous I'm jealous
10.
Wretched 04:25
Oh, why am I always laughing When you don't find me so amusing How could I know You could be so Hard to let go I'm lost each time your skin meets mine I'm dumb, and I'm blind, but I saw Divine How could I know You could be so Hard to let How could I know You could be so Hard to let How could I know You could be so Hard to let go Oh, just the grace in her presence Is enough to make me wretched Oh, just the grace in her presence Is enough to make me wretched How could I know You could be so Hard to let How could I know You could be so Hard to let How could I know You could be so Hard to let go

This project has been an endless labor of love for the past 4+ years.

Special thanks to Trevor Schlam and Brandon Rhodes for lending me microphones in the home stretch to get this thing finished


I began writing Wretched in the summer of 2017. Between then and now, this project and my stint as a songwriter would have been abandoned many times over were it not for the determined love and support from a plethora of wonderful people in my life. It is their hard work, as musicians, engineers, teachers, dear friends, that made this miracle a reality.

Thank you

To Vincent Blackshadow, Zach Litchman, James Duncan, the fellas at Hot Take Recording Co, Leah Gutman, Everybody at Pasta Planet, Kara Giesing, Toby Bruce, Noah Dunn, Ben Danielson, Madison Simpson, Coral Marchant, Susan Rogers, Nick Strobel, the entire Wallace Family, and anyone taking the time to listen.
