    Finally got these onto the webstore! The professional copies of "Boys" are back in stock.

    These aren't cased in a conventional sense, but wrapped in plastic and sandwiched between quality printed cardstock. As low-cost, low-impact, and eco-friendly as I could get. Professionally printed and burned, so likely a lot nicer than the home-brewed ones I was putting out before.

lyrics

My Father had a friend named Chris, and they drank beers when they were 12,
He said he liked the taste, and they got along real well,
But Chris’ Dad, he did those things, and Chris he ran away,
And my Grandad said “Well Chris you’d better come inside.”

And that’s me and it’s you, and we’ll beat this beast together,
Fighting side by side, we will find a way to break this bottle,
Maybe it’ll be over your head, or maybe over mine,
But together we will make it out just fine.

Sometimes, your life explodes, we’ve been through that.
And there’s lots of darkness out in space, and buddy we know that.
‘Cuz outer space is terrifying, and Ford that is a fact.
So come inside, you can have the room that once was mine.

And that’s me and it’s you, and we’ll beat this beast together,
Fighting side by side, we will find a way to break this bottle,
Maybe it’ll be over your head, or maybe over mine,
But together we will make it out just fine.

Chris was dry for years, I knew him then.
And one day his love left and he went home to his cabin,
In one last bottle he found escape, from the life that caused him pain,
And Dad never saw his best-friend alive again.

That could be me and could be you, so let’s beat this beast together,
Fighting side by side, we will find a way to break this bottle,
Maybe it’ll be over your head, or maybe over mine,
But together we can make it out just fine.
