Sunrise at the Sunset Motel smoke ascends from the ashtray the muted TV plays no one knows my name around here I’ve thought about you now and then but lately I can’t stop thinking of each moment I managed to fail you with each drag I take, I can’t seem to exhale you outside the darkness frays headlights head for the highway but me, I got nowhere to get to maybe work took its toll maybe we were getting old or maybe we were star-crossed from the get-go or maybe I did wrong and just wouldn’t say so I hitched a ride to the sunset you learn how to forget as darkness descends on the horizon but dawn’s light intersects each memory I regret I’m here in room 19 at the Sunset in my own sort of personal hell sunrise at the Sunset Motel I remember autumn air you descending down the stairs my heart beating in my chest we walked to the formal dance high on holding hands held in golden hour light each breath I took of you burned so bright I hitched a ride to the sunset you learn how to forget as darkness descends on the horizon but dawn’s light intersects each memory I regret I’m here in room 19 at the Sunset in my own sort of personal hell sunrise at the Sunset Motel if I could do it all again I’d do it all different just to wake up where you are it gets hot in this room last night was a harvest moon this morning it still hangs there like a beacon I step out in the cool air and breathe in

Dumb Luck 04:03
Dumb Luck I remember high beams blinding I steered the wheel hard against the light I woke to the scent of something burning shattered glass and metal crashed across the roadside bank that night and the highway kept going as I yelled toward the road help me out here, I’m down here please don't go just dumb luck, I survived couldn’t tell you how or why I walked away without a scratch to tell each and every last I'm the man who should not be alive Now I sit through these traffic jam evenings to make my weekly meeting across town I sip from my styrofoam cup of coffee church basement stairs and folding chairs I detail the events that brought me down here among these strangers who I've come to know help me out here, I'm down here please don't go just dumb luck, I survived couldn't tell you how or why I walked away without a scratch to tell each and every last yeah, I'm the man who should not be alive now no matter what I do I can’t fathom the ways in which the world extracts its fee how the driving force behind it seems so random no final hour higher power to right all the wrongs that we can see still nobody can tell you what they don’t know help me out here, I’m down here please don’t go just dumb luck, I survived couldn’t tell you how or why I walked away without a scratch tell each and every last I’m the man who should not be alive yeah, I'm the man who should not be alive

Ghost Story 03:28
Ghost Story tell me your ghost story the one embedded in your memory upstate, the leaves changing sunset, the light fading in your room in your room you heard a faint knocking you couldn’t account for we are so in the dark describe the oak table the feeling of someone in the room with you you said you were rendered bereft of any way to think it through think it through you heard a faint knocking you couldn’t account for we are so in the dark and it got me thinking who paints this picture? who proofread the ingredients for gunpowder? and who’s to say we should listen? I’m done listening I’m done deciphering all the ways this world lets us down down down down let’s get out of here let us go uptown share a drink cheers to you and me you and me

about

Sunrise at the Sunset Motel is 3 morose songs that I felt hung together in a natural way. Seems fitting to release them during the dreary winters months here in Ohio. Songs from dingy motel rooms, nighttime highways, AA meetings in church basements, and from old haunted houses.
