lyrics

I'll tell you all my secrets
Cause you're from out of town
I'll be moving along soon too
when I get this web unwound
I been holding this thing together
On sweat and faith alone
There's a caterpillar eating leaves
Off of every seed I've sewn

I'm gonna write myself a letter
And they'll decide who to trust
My big eyes may not seem wise
But they know when enough is enough
And the suffocating silence
Will soon come to an end
Nobody likes a liar with an
Empire to defend

I'll give you all my money
There's a few bucks left
The future all depends
on fancy lawyers playing chess
I been honest kind and faithful
Played fair as best I can
Some folks only ever care
About what feels good to them

I'm gonna write myself a letter
And they'll decide who to trust
My big eyes may not seem wise
But they know when enough is enough
And the suffocating silence
Will soon come to an end
Nobody likes a liar with an
Empire to defend

I'll show you all my weakness
You can probably tell
I cling into hope like a hermit
Crab clings to his shell
I been weathered, bruised and broken
Told what I've seen ain't real
Some folks never want the ugly truth to be revealed

I'm gonna write myself a letter
And they'll decide who to trust
My big eyes may not seem wise
But they know when enough is enough
And the suffocating silence
Will soon come to an end
I'll leave behind a liar with an
Empire to defend

Emily Stewart and Matty Sheets have been playing together for years, in this project they strip down their songs for a road worthy acoustic duo. Folk music with heart and street smarts.
