franklylost - Few things make me happier than when two musicians I already like decide to make music together, and that’s exactly what’s happened here. With this Cardboard Homestead release, Ian is joined by Josiah Franco: and the combination is even lovelier than I’d hoped. Ian’s voice is rough as always, like a well worn blanket, and the lyrical twists and turns are mirrored nicely by the acoustic intrigue lent by Josiah’s guitar. If this demo is an accurate depiction of the next release from Cardboard Homestead: I can say with confidence it’ll be a great step forward for the band. With a total runtime clocking in at roughly 12 minutes, it’s not a big commitment to give it a chance, and I recommend that you do. Honest tunes like these deserve thoughtful listening. 💜 Favorite track: Reject It!.

I don't ever want to look back I'm getting sick of all of that and even if I found my Mountain home Id still have no place to go So fuck your country road I took It a long time ago It lead me to this fuckin ditch Where all I seem to do is bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch I've been searching for some time For a pace of mind Even if I found it here you know I'll fuck it up I'll fuck it up So fuck your country road I took It a long time ago It lead me to this fuckin ditch Where all I seem to do is bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch

Quicksand 01:39
One more day One more dollar One more lie That I will swallow Its going backwards While wanting forward Its almost like I'm Stuck in reverse Oh I'm in quicksand Am I a god man? Is this the reflection Of a mad man? No need to worry I'm in a hurry To self destruct It's drowning slowly It's being smothered It's almost worth it But you don't bother Cant get outta bed The sun is foreign The sky is falling Can someone stop this? and get me outta this quicksand Am I a god man? Is this the reflection Of a mad man? No need to worry I'm in a hurry To self destruct

Life Alert 02:53
I think its almost time for me to loose my mind These drugs aren't kicking in I'm feeling lost again The days the weeks they pass And things are always bad Time wont heal our pain Change wont change a thing As I walk out I have no doubt Its all my fault I fall and cant get up Sometimes I wish Id stopped and took in what I've got But now there is no time as life passes right by Look it happened again I'm walking home broken I drank up all the whiskey Now all my friends they hate me! As I walk out I have no doubt Its all my fault I fall and cant get up Ill go sit in my room Talk to myself in circles bout what I'm gunna do To get me back to you Ill swear I'm not a mess Oh please don't take me back I will only destroy you Leave you face down in this mud As I walk out I have no doubt Its all my fault I fall and cant get up Get away get away get away I cant see people today Get away get away get away I'm trying to be happy Get away get away get away I cant see people today Get away get away get away I cant seem to be happy!! As I walk out I have no doubt Its all my fault I fall and cant get up

Every time I close my eyes I start to feel so Terrorized Ive lost the light Ive lost this life Is this what people think is life? I cant explain these fucked up dreams Or all the demons inside of me I expel them every single day Drugs and booze I'll rot away We subscribe to these lives of pain and lies We confess While on our backs We aren't our best We didn't want this I've opened up my closed eyes Still feeling fuckin paranoid Its these things that we cannot see That always ruin everything Trying to just get away Living in another state These demons always show up We tie the noose they pull the rope We subscribe to these lives of pain and lies We confess While on our backs We aren't our best We didn't want this We sure as fuck didn't want this!

Reject It! 02:16
I'm just fine Who needs it? Affection Reject it! Ill sit here by myself And close my eyes while I am at it My eyes they gloss over as I sit here in boredom I can only blame myself Please hear me out this is a cry for help Please ease my troubled mind I'm a freight train working over time I cant help myself from hitting this wall I'll see you in, I'll see you in, I'll see you in hell! My whole life I was told You're nothing Just conform You must be one of us cause if you're not you're anti-social I don't mind The choices that I've made to discover I think I have found my home Please hear me out this is a cry for hep Please ease my troubled mind I'm a freight train working over time I cant help myself from hitting this wall I'll see you in, I'll see you in, I'll see you in hell! Please ease my troubled mind I'm a freight train working over time I cant help myself from hitting this wall I'll see you in, I'll see you in, I'll see you in hell! I'm just fine Who needs it? Affection Reject it! Ill sit here by myself And close my eyes while I am at it My eyes they gloss over as I sit here in boredom I can only blame myself Please hear me out this is a cry for help Please ease my troubled mind I'm a freight train working over time I cant help myself from hitting this wall I'll see you in, I'll see you in, I'll see you in hell!
