    This is one of the most exciting things I've done! Cassettes sound great, they look great, and they're a perfect collector's item (I made a small run of 40). In addition to a digital download of the album (download card with code included with item), you'll get:

    a 2-sided retro-lilac cassette with metallic 'rich gold' pad-print lettering in a clear case; gorgeous cover artwork by Mila Kapustina; and that warm fuzzy feeling of satisfaction when that cassette clicks into place and the music starts :)

    Made in conjunction with Bee-Side Cassettes - beesidecassettes.bandcamp.com

lyrics

I don't know how to get out of this town
Though Lord knows how I tried
Seems like living is not allowed
The cost of it is high

Oh my soul is tired
Oh my soul is tired

I worked too hard, and I got too mean
I can't look people in the eye
It's gotten so I can't fall asleep
And all my tears, they never dry

Oh my woes, they won't quiet
And all my tears, my tears won't dry

oooh
Oh I know I know it's time
Oh I know I know it's time

One of these days I will make it out
God will help me see it through
Plenty of space to move about
And a window with a view
Oh I hope I hope I do
Oh I hope I hope I do
Oh I hope I hope I do.
