Eight Months and Twenty-Two Days a Slave 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Hello morning riser off to the races I see better bundle up and buckle up 'cause you and I are separate more than we are equal in the silent few, as the roots undo Remember to be on the lookout for hounds and torches it's a haunting sound that's world-renowned Picking bones with everyone you know you build your railroad underground where you won't be found Yeah we don't give a shit The kids are unwilling to sacrifice their lives Yeah we don't give a shit So if I don't see you, Good afternoon, goodnight... We are the ghosts of former passengers at 100 miles per hour, we move faster I'm also not your punching bag "We love in the dark for we are the dark, we pull down the stars." Yeah we don't give a shit The kids are unwilling to sacrifice their lives Yeah we don't give a shit So if I don't see you, Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight... Oh yeah, let's break these chains and walk to Philadelphia

Hearts For Eyes 02:55
lyrics

I lived a life before this moment it was awful until now it was colorless and broken just what physics would allow when you flew in through that window under Azrael wings you exorcised a demon that compels my everything Yeah I should know did you ever think our garden grows? or is it just deteriorating? or is it just me? Your friends said No, but your gaze said Yes it's decided you and I are getting married on Independence Day Take the space between us, fill it up some way Look what you did to me girl look what you did to me now I got hearts for eyes when you materialize

Big Hunger 04:34
lyrics
buy track
am I the right kind? or am I the one you've seen before? is this a bad time? yeah I can never tell anymore so goddamn my blue eyes make them red again so goddamn my sore eyes make them sorry again and I'll be holding the flare gun pointed straight at the heavens I'll make it loud and obnoxious so you'll know it's me and you'll be walking on embers towards the Southern Cross so you can wait by the docks for me to sail away is there a right time? or is here and now just one big hunger? is this love mine? or do the waters pull me under?

Civil Union 04:13
lyrics
buy track
The rapture is never coming stop acting like our love was put on life support you've captured the lowest fucking common denominator of backward morals Because this man does what the "good book" tells him to... didn't you say that? Forever forced to wait outside the chapels walls until the end of time and it's all going according to plan We don't want your civil union We want you to see We just wanted to be free We don't want your civil union We want you to see what we found The ceremony is on bring your friends and family and your wine of choice ;) declare us partners in crime Preacher! Preacher! can you hear the people's voice? and it's all going according to plan We could have a day like the one in our dreams If life is but a dream, then have we already come true? If we are the illusion of ourselves, then life begins as soon as you can think about it.

about

Alimony started in 2014 specifically for Tim's recording-arts class at Montco. This EP was written and recorded in 3 months by Tim and Kevin and now it's finally done. All the instruments & vocals were performed by Tim (except bass by Terrell Atrophy of the Jantones.) It was mostly engineered by Kevin and there's some back-up vox by Mike here and there. Cody played with his beard while all this was going on. Take a free listen and tell us what you think. Thank you for your support! - Alimony
