Charm 04:57
Shepherd the rage inside you Savor the ache that's always there Slaver and thane despise you Savior of all thats good and fair I’m gonna call that charm I’m gonna call that charm You carry the chains that bind you You dove in the lake that’s deep and cold Horrible things will find you But you are the one who swam on bold I’m gonna call that charm I’m gonna call that charm You forfeited all belongings Left them to feed and clothe the poor Anything greed could cling to You left it to bleed on its own sword I’m gonna call that charm I’m gonna call that charm Effigies burn in protest As fantasies failed to make us proud Love is what keeps you moving Love is what makes a lost person found I’m gonna call that charm I’m gonna call that charm You're crossing state lines Sometimes at a crawl Trying to do right You’re only one person after all I’m gonna call that charm I’m gonna call that charm

That's Love 02:29
Pearls of rain in an empty bucket Inch by inch out of oh well fuck it Rippled rings of serotonin Fill the well you were all alone in Love softens what had hardened Love like a mayoral pardon Love what a goddam bargain I never understood that ‘til now Inhale float and the moon gets closer Open up your heart to closure Sphere and sky align in oneness Infinity in abundance Love is like a soup reheated Love its and illness treated Love is exactly what you needed I never understood that ‘til now Fifty Nifty U S A I Some sweep left and some slide right High-strung tin cans talk to rockets Beam your failure to our pockets Love exists beyond whats Irate Love its the string that vibrates Love the choir’s heard this one But I never understood that ‘til now I’ll probably forget it tomorrow

She’s gotta deal with them all day long They made her feel like she don’t belong They woke her from her inner calm the little things They irked and bent her late at night Stars immured by traffic lights No one cares how hard she tried the little things Underneath an overpass Her sleeping bag’s in the dirt and grass She would have stayed if you had asked the little things Tomorrow’s wet with holy dew The caul we all were born into Pungent with the grace she dew the little things the little things She held on through stormy weather Knew you’d find her out there again You’re the poet You’re the victim You’re the immigrant Don’t forget you’re the apple of her eye Alone on a bench in people’s park The taste of fog and eucalyptus bark The warmth of fire when it gets dark - the little things All she sees is someone who likes rain and dogwood freshly bloomed she weeps to know the storm in you - the little things the little things the little things

Open the curtain a brand new day is started Did you deserve it? How soon will it pass? Pulled out of a day dream like a rabbit from a hat Did you desert somebody now alone at last? Start living like you love somebody You’re lost at sea worrying about your past Your Jeckyll is burnt out And your Hyde isn’t fun anymore Egress is easy yeah but Who is your submission for? Start living like you love somebody You’re lost at sea searching for a port How can you live like denial’s alright? There’s a clear hesitation I’m on to ya, right behind the camera You don’t have any secrets And I know you don’t have places to be We’ve all been waiting for you to set the inner peasant free Start living like you love somebody Don’t freak out when you’re lost out at sea

Should have been a lawman dominate hand with a radical creed Should have punched clocks on the piers and the docks making concrete I've seen ships in San Francisco with their ivory sails soar I could've gotten used to life at sea - picture me Could have been a doctor staying in a mansion rich as I'd be Would've had a fast car young blond girlfriend all for free I'd like to think in some town far away there'd be a man like I am now He would feel that he was losing touch - I lost too much High in the Country Where the strong wind blew High in the Country Where I dream of you every afternoon So, down with the devils and down with the saints I'm laying on thick fresh coats of paint Take it all back take it all back jack She never loved a damn thing and never lost face I would die a thousand deaths to end up in your loving arms Every chance I had I threw away - I spent every day High in the Country Where a strong wind blew High in the Country Where I dream of you every afternoon High in the Country Where the wrong bird flew High in the Country Where I dream of you every afternoon

Tenure 03:56
Crawl out from under covers there’s a rogue wave coming All those precious kids grew up faced with something Shelter from the storm is all we’re asking for But there’s a keycode to the kingdom and we weren’t informed Our horoscopes said we needed long vacations From whip cracking cackles of annunciation that Somewhere there’s a savior that we don’t deserve Is he writing hallelujahs off of tax returns? We’ve been enamored by the neon tassels Hangin off the tits of corporate assholes I can’t keep on living this way tethered to my phone Its a short trip from the womb to the grave What’d you spend it on You try to fold your hands in shyness and talk to a human being I just want to know where you see yourself in ten years I just want to know if the centaur’s home I’m logging online when I feel alone To consummate my prayers and my will to starve By eating my lunch in the courtyard It was one ripe banana and an english muffin Every verb is a nail pried out of your coffin I can’t keep on living this way Tethered to my phone It’s a short trip from the womb to the grave What’d you spend it on You try to fold your hands in shyness and Talk to a human being I just want to know where you see yourself in ten years Tenure

Miles away form the floor below him Far above the people eating all their vitamins The kids seem to be just fine Standing in the golden light of the marquees Showered in confetti promises fallen from a sea of dancers I’m hanging up the party line I’m hanging up the party line You’ve been out of luck as an entertainer You finally hit the bottom ands its hard to see clear You barely gotta work at all You spend your cash at shopping malls and the grocery We’re sending out a message from a friendly island To all who are marooned or lost or frightened We’re hanging up the party line We’re hanging up the party line He spent a lot of money for your eyes and time We’re hanging up the party line He’s favored with defenders of positions fetal And he tossed a golden apple to the pretty people All he really knows about life can be purchased at the checkout line in the market I don’t understand it But I bet he’d see us drowning in a sea of answers We’re hanging up the party line We’re hanging up the party line Spent a lot of money on his big red ties We’re hanging up the party line Spent a lot of money on the jet he flies We’re hanging up the party line Could it be everything that you know About love circumstance in a waking dream About saying yes I’m hanging up the party line I’m hanging up the party line

You don’t have to worry You don’t have to rush You don’t have too work to hard or think too much Lonesome days will hang above you And color the world unkind Just remember that it’s alright That love takes time Don’t ruffle your feathers when the milk gets spilled Just take a deep breath it ain’t no big deal You’re off chasing sunsets and leaving new dawns behind Find your peace of mind in that love takes time (Do -wahh) Through momentary failures and crossing all the lines Mama bird’ll start shaking the branches to see if you can fly When the fruit is ripe and heavy shining on the vine Find your peace of mind in that love takes time

Self invest and assess the mess if some fucker isn’t showing respect He’s living easy on a pleasure cruise and he doesn’t give a shit who’s next Like a sickle through a golden heap you gotta seperate earth and fire You’ve been reduced to a fantasy Don’t let him stand you up he’s a cheater and a liar You’ve gotta vet what a dude protects even at the other party’s expense Stop wasting time trying to play coquette with sociopathic pricks Sucking life from everyone he meets hes a leech in a swimming pool Mother Mary’s in a shallow sleep it’s time to take it back and play him for the fool Like a sickle through a golden heap you gotta seperate earth and fire You’ve been reduced to a fantasy Don’t be giving all your energy when you’ve had enough he’s a cheater and a liar

When we’re all out of roses Water sun and sky Fresh out of money rosary beads and wine When we’re all out of moonbeams And mountains to climb When we’ve seen every rainbow you think love will get us by? We all know that the good times Won’t last forever We all know that everything erodes to dust When all at once our voices soften Hardship breeds and hopes forgotten Will there still be a smile inside to keep you warm When we’re all out of mercy ambition luck and pride Petty fights and champagne you think love will get us by? We all know that the good times Won’t last forever We all know that everything erodes to dust When all at once our voices soften Hardship breeds and hopes forgotten Will there still be a smile inside to keep you warm When we’re all out of roses and things we’d like to try Fresh out of rainbows you think love will get us by ? You think love will get us by?

You waited ‘til it bothered you For night to proceed day You held on close and felt renewed It blew away It was just a borrowed moment in the sun It made you feel like angels do Floating around the sky Through humid summer wind you flew It passed you by Like icarus in waxy flame Triumphant and scared You heard the valley call your name Whose cross to bare It was just a borrowed moment in the sun When a candle’s twice as bright It burns out twice as fast When shit is fire realized Does it ever last? It was just a borrowed moment in the sun

about

Evan P. Donohue Nashville, Tennessee

Raised in NY & hailing from TN, EPD, co-founding father of Nashville punk outfit, Diarrhea Planet, finds a niche within the chamber pop library between Beck and Elvis Costello. Fans of EPD note wit in his lyricism & the raw gravity of his live performances. Listeners will fall under the spell of Nashville pretty boy's ability to create garage-pop which blows a kiss at Squeeze & Harry Nilsson. ... more
