On Fire 05:45
So set me on fire These sunset dreams are dire Let the burns make their mark I need to learn Spoken words can easily turn Need to think before it's done And if I had a dollar for every time these words have cost both you and I our rhyme context lies within the mind And the feeling I get When the rhyme makes me sweat And the words on my throat make the core of me choke It's a dead weather cycle Without my disciples They leave me alone At the end of the day And the feeling I get When the rhyme makes me sweat And the words on my throat make the core of me choke It's a dead weather cycle Without my disciples They leave me alone At the end I just want to let it out Take one shot before the sun rides out I just want to let it out Scream till my lungs give in (x2) Like walking a wire In my life my dreams can't aspire To be stable all the time I need to learn Spoken words can easily turn Need to think before it's done And the feeling I get When the rhyme makes me sweat And the words on my throat make the core of me choke It's a dead weather cycle Without my disciples They leave me alone At the end I just want to let it out Take one shot before the sun rides out I just want to let it out Scream till my lungs give in (x2) (SOLO) So set me on fire These sunset dreams are dire Let the burns make their mark I need to learn Spoken words can easily turn Need to think before it's done And the feeling I get When the rhyme makes me sweat And the words on my throat make the core of me choke It's a dead weather cycle Without my disciples They leave me alone At the end of the day And the feeling I get When the rhyme makes me sweat And the words on my throat make the core of me choke It's a dead weather cycle Without my disciples They leave me alone At the end I just want to let it out Take one shot before the sun rides out I just want to let it out Scream till my lungs give in (x2)

Jack and Jill went up the hill sent to fetch some water from the well. Jill was sweet but Jack was bitter second born of a double litter And on that day poor little Jill she fell. And Jack he thinks he's going straight to hell I'm sick of worshiping the pieces of such, expertly artworked papers. 'cos they, they mean everything From nothing to a leash. Hansel and his sister Gretel She was soft while he was made of metal Dark eyes set to kill. Didn't act like siblings should Getting money any way they could For crack, smack, and hammer. Till one day their purse was tight He whored her on that black, bleak, night And she should not forgive. But she'll stick around, eaten up with sin. Are we doomed to repetition, to repeat? Are we lacking recognition or receipt? Where's the so called seperation between Church and state? It's earth and clay. Its hurt and shame. I'm sick of worshiping the pieces Of such, expertly artworked papers. 'cos they, they mean everything From nothing to a leash. (x 2)

Hear Me Out 04:13
We are alone in this world if we choose it. You change your tone on your own auto bullshit. Cos you may think you're on the road to freedom We may see a better path ahead Can anybody hear me now? My mortal skin is turning inside out Can anybody hear me out? I am alive (x2) We are alone in this world if we choose it. You change your tone on your own auto bullshit. So tell me why are you afraid To face your own love tidal wave? (x 6) Cos you may think you're on the road to freedom We may see a better path ahead Can anybody hear me now? My mortal skin is turning inside out Can anybody hear me out? I am alive (x2)

And if your bad you'll see me coming And if your good you'll watch me leave The thing you're after is sitting next to me Cos I'm a sucker for ever after But tonight I'll watch you bleed Sleeping with the crows You'll hear them coming Sleeping with the crows You'll watch them go Sleeping with the crows You'll hear them coming Sleeping with the sleeping with the sleeping with the crows Stop what your doing Because tonight is on me The thing your after is sitting next to me Cos I'm a sucker for ever after But tonight I'll watch you bleed Sleeping with the crows You'll hear them coming Sleeping with the crows You'll watch them go Sleeping with the crows You'll hear them coming Sleeping with the sleeping with the sleeping with the crows (x 2) Cos I will grab you by the hair I will take you anywhere On this to you I swear Cos I don't really care (x 2) No I don't really care any more I don't really care any more I don't really care any more I don't really care (x 2) Sleeping with the crows You'll hear them coming Sleeping with the crows You'll watch them go Sleeping with the crows You'll hear them coming Sleeping with the sleeping with the sleeping with the crows (x 2)

On a dead pan afternoon feeling faith erode from you common sense surrounding you You know that fear is the only gun your holster has ever felt locked in through a heavy belt But through the failings of passion Beams an unworthy light All of this time spent believing Must end here tonight Your god-fearing life And there's no reason for the madness And there's no reason for the pain (It's on, it's on, it's on for young and old) You know it can't be heaven But you have to be told (x2) End your great debate End your great debate Now take this fable, and throw it right into the fire Now take this fable, and throw it right into the fire Your god-fearing life But through the failings of passion Beams an unworthy light All of this time spent believing Must end here tonight Your god-fearing life And there's no reason for the madness And there's no reason for the pain (It's on, it's on, it's on for young and old) You know it can't be heaven But you have to be told (x2) End your great debate End your great debate Now take this fable, and throw it right into the fire Now take this fable, and throw it right into the fire Your god-fearing life (x 8)

He's sad and lonley but not alone he's waiting for you to head home Thinking about his touch before the sun comes up Bending like a glass before it all heats up I know where you're heading for I know where you're heading for So breathe a little bit closer Feel the fear and watch a tear slowly run (x 2) Always the pawn but never the king You always reached out for the hardest things Always the priest but never the sin you're going to break those boys till they give in. (x 2) And now the wonder has slipped away from me You've turned your back on generosity It's like he reached right in and turned the red light on The pain the blame the fourtune's left me overclocked I am afraid I am afraid He's sad and lonley but not alone he's waiting for you to head home I know where you're heading for I know where you're heading for I know where you're heading for I know where you're heading for So breathe a little bit closer Feel the fear and watch a tear slowly run (x 2) Always the pawn but never the king You always reached out for the hardest things Always the priest but never the sin you're going to break those boys till they give in.

Some men like pain and that's ok with me But you my friend have gone too far you're just a little too extreme Now times have changed it's all been done before But just because it has doesn't mean that you do it more You're into self circumsision You've found that new division You've crossed that cut off line Always wanting more Hanging off the door Show them how to bleed Show them how to plead for pain You've gotta find that cut off line Go with the flow You've gotta find that cut off line Some men like pain and that's ok with me But you my friend have gone too far you're just a little too extreme Go with the flow You've gotta find that cut off line (x 2) You're into self circumsision You've found that new division You've crossed that cut off line Always wanting more Hanging off the door Show them how to bleed Show them how to plead for pain You're into self circumsision You've found that new division You've crossed that cut off line You're into self circumsision You've found that new division You've crossed that cut off line Always wanting more Hanging off the door Show them how to bleed Show them how to plead for pain

Rodeo Clown 05:03
Same old story, here we stand I know your problems like the back of my hand And you're bringing me down You're killing me darling Like a Rodeo Clown You're killing me darling You'll never find another so you say You're always the first fool to walk away 'cos love takes time to activate So stand right there watch it emanate And you're bringing me down You're killing me darling Like a Rodeo clown You're killing me darling And you howl like a wolf But you sting like a bee The whole thing just reeks of blind jealousy I've read all your stories I've heard them before but your more a letter on a dying man's door And you're bringing me down You're killing me darling Like a Rodeo clown You're killing me darling 'cos love takes time to activate So stand right there watch it emanate So the story goes And you howl like a wolf But you sting like a bee The whole thing just reeks of blind jealousy I've read all your stories I've heard them before but your more a letter on a dying man's door So you think I'm not that type So you think I'm not a lover And you're bringing me down You're killing me darling Like a rodeo clown You're killing me darling You're bringing me down You're killing me darling Like a rodeo clown You're killing me darling Your killing me darling (x 4)

about

A cross-section of Wrongtown's work over the last two years. Instrumental recording for "We're a band. You'll like us" was recorded over a weekend with vocals added once we had a rough mix to work with.

We produced this release partly because for too long we've had no satisfactory response to fans who've expressed a desire to own recordings of our material. We would love to release a solid EP in the future, hope this experiment brings us closer to that dream!

Deciding to provide digital downloads on a Pay What You Can basis makes sense to us, as it allows our fans who can afford it to pay what they think is fair so we can work towards more polished releases in the future. On the flip side, it still allows those who don't have spare cash right now to legitimately obtain examples of our work. Of course we're all for reaching new people as well, so if you haven't already we'd love you to "Like" us on Facebook, or just tell your friends!

Thanks for supporting us, we hope you like what we've put together here.
