lyrics

You keep on talking crazy
You try to make things right
And put the nails in coffins
So your head don’t get too bright

And why the moment that I walk in
And I don’t even want it to begin

Too many times
Oh we’ve lied
Oh we’ve lied too many times

You’re making all these changes
No time to treat us nice
Listen at the way you’re talking
So precious of the pride

And why the moment that you walk in
I don’t even want you to begin
Too many times
Oh we’ve lied
Oh we’ve lied too many times
And there’s nothing much here
Cause neither of us try it to admit
Locked in eyes

Hawker M. James image

Hawker M. James Rochester, New York

From his 90's beginnings making demos on a 4-track, to his brush with the millennial zeitgeist as the drummer in Longwave, (and solo-driven projects he's released since then), Mikey James quietly emerged as a journeyman songwriter. James' tunes struck a chord with TV producers and the indie music charts, and blazed his own trail with his singular blend of folk and art rock. ... more
