We haven't spoke in awhile Oh, I don't miss your words The thorn in my side is gone so long I'm heading home alone Go put your best dress shirt on Find the closest mirror Doll yourself, show off some skin Make up the messes that you love to live in You show up out of the blue Thinking I'll pull through But this fool knows better You think I can't get enough But you're a poison I won't touch What's the point in acting tough? When I know I don't need your love I'm not waiting I'm not scared I'm not waiting You think I can't get enough But you're a poison I won't touch What's the point in acting tough? When I know I don't need your love We haven't spoke in awhile Oh, I don't miss your words The thorn in my side is gone so long I'm heading home alone You think I can't get enough But you're a poison I won't touch What's the point in acting tough? When I know I don't need your love

Back Burner 03:49
I'm sorry is all you can say That's fine with me, as long as you stay on the line I've got so much love to give But if I'm always waiting Where will I begin? My feet are tapping My thumbs they twist And I wait, and I wait, and I wait And I wanna look away but I resist I think I've been here Three times this week And without, and without and without A word or a call, you've brought me to my knees Oh can't you see? I'm sorry is all you can say That's fine with me, as long as you stay on the line I've got so much love to give But if I'm always waiting Where will I begin? I'm not a back burner There's no smoke anymore I'm done treading water Say the word and I'm yours I'm like believing in second tries But don't get to thinking I want to count that high I've found my patience Time and time again But looking and searching For something I shouldn't have lost Isn't how I like time spent I'm sorry is what I will say For holding too tight, and pushing away It's just I've got so much love to give But if I'm always waiting Where will I begin? I'm not a back burner There's no smoke anymore I'm done treading water Say the word and I'm yours

I need my heart to break so I can feel I need to know that love is something real Baby, I'm hard to heal I should've known on the day that I met you It was cold, and you told me that it wasn't a date Too late, I think I'm feeling I could've seen, as the seeds were slowly growing I was blind, cause it's hard to find someone who fits Isn't it, where is my reason? The way you looked at me, your smile so subtle Where could I go wrong? And now we're here, a couple months down the road And I'm afraid, but so full of hope Are we okay? I ask on repetition Then they came, excuses pouring out like sudden rain I don't have much to gain from you But baby, this is all so new Don't wanna lose the way I felt, your apologies empty Where could I go wrong? I don't wanna miss you anymore I don't want my happiness to be a chore What you put me through is unlike what I've felt before I don't wanna miss it anymore And who are you, to do as you please Not some king, no I'm not on my knees Not begging for love, begging for you Oh baby you're playing a game for two The way you looked at me, your smile so subtle How did I go wrong? I don't think I miss you anymore There are no more bottles on the floor Baby I don't miss you anymore I should've known I could've seen You weren't the one for me I don't think I miss you anymore There are no more tears on the floor Baby I don't miss you anymore.

You're asking questions I don't think I know the answers to I hear the worry in your words what are you gonna do Your inquisitions put me in a new position What am I looking for? No substitution, I'm not sure you're the solution anymore There's no other way So I'll just wait right here for you There's gotta be someone in the universe A boy who's smile turns into fireworks for me I think I've learned my lesson Finally no more stressing So find your way to me Find your way to me this time We're turning pages to a book that seems to never end But being honest, there's no room for me to play pretend Still I keep reading, my heart bleeding as I skip ahead Searching for happy endings like the ones I heard sitting in bed There's no other way So I'll just wait right here for you There's gotta be someone in the universe A boy who's smile turns into fireworks for me I think I've learned my lesson Finally no more stressing So find your way to me Find your way to me this time

Staring at my pocket waiting for a light The one that makes me feel alive It's a different kind of night Coax myself to check the time Time to make up my mind Should I stay or go outside? You're not much of a talker And I'm not much of a dancer All I need is an answer I'm in control but I don't know I see the door in front of me Turn the knob and set me free What has this night done to me? Now I walk these streets alone Turning stripes to yellow thrones I don't mind ruling alone I don't mind walking alone You're not much of a talker And I'm not much of a dancer All I need is an answer I'm in control but I don't know I see the door in front of me Turn the knob and set me free What has this night done to me? You're not much of a talker And I'm not much of a dancer All I need is an answer

Paralyze Me 04:03
You say my name Brings me pleasure, brings me pain Wasting my nights Colors fade, our canvas white Time for a shift You're a boy I can't resist I'm stuck in these surrounding With your copper arms around me My feet won't reach the ground I'm here bound onto your body Though I try to fill my lungs The process has begun Cause your love has paralyzed me They can keep their thoughts Still I persist, my hopes not lost Taking what feels like years Seasons pass, but still I fear That I've thrown my bet, you're a name I should forget But I can't leave I'm stuck in these surrounding With your copper arms around me My feet won't reach the ground I'm here bound onto your body Though I try to fill my lungs The process has begun Cause your love has paralyzed me Grab my waist, skin meets and there's a spark I'll wait, no chance that I'll get far Oh I think I'm seeing stars I guess I'll wait a little bit Your touch feels like the perfect fit Boy, I'm wrapped around your heart

Your Design 03:36
Well you'll be over there and I'll be over here Dear, you'll get a lot of satisfaction on your own I'm sure And if you can't find anyone to fit your mold I'm certain you can get it off with your two fists Don't wanna break my neck Drowning in self respect I'm not an architect So, why would I worry if the stars were not aligned Why should I worry if I don't fit your design? If you can't find a man, I recommend drinks and drugs I'd be lying if I said I didn't wanna see you rip yourself apart And I'd also be lying if I said I wouldn't give more time to you It's over Don't wanna break my neck Drowning in self respect I'm not an architect So, why would I worry if the stars were not aligned Why should I worry if I don't fit your design? Why would I worry if the stars were not aligned Why should I worry if I don't fit your design?

Blunderbuss 04:00
You have to learn to forget You have to learn to forget us A painted face you shouldn't have Wasted days have gone and passed Not my problem I don't care Over, over everywhere Decorations, hallowed plants No more music, no romance Think of all the times we had Wishing they were not so bad We're falling to this drink I think we need to move along Our hearts are on the line Don't say they're fine Forget This life you're living without us It's blown to pieces, blunderbuss Aim at me All your bullets firing fast Woken up please take me back Where I can sleep I beg please Fall to this dream It seems we need to move along Wherever you are I hope you are forgetting Well I hope you've had your fun I hope you're still when you're done We're falling to this drink I think we need to move along Our hearts are on the line Don't say you're fine Please fall to this dream It seems we need to move along Wherever you are I hope you are forgetting You have to learn to forget us You have to learn to forget

The lights are off And I see your silhouette in the shadows Your eyes, clear as day, have found mine I smile, and you follow I feel our hands inching closer I feel a pulse beating fast I rest my head on your shoulder I think this feeling could last Do I look the part? Could you share your heart? When will this all start? What would I give to hold your hands in mine Or watch the stars with you, losing track of time I've got so much of my love to share with you What will I do? The room is loud But somehow all I hear is your laughter You wind up in my arms again Could you tell me what it is that you're after? I felt our hands inching closer I felt a pulse beating fast I rest my head on your shoulder I think this feeling could last Do I look the part? Could you share your heart? When will this all start? What would I give to hold your hands in mine Or watch the stars with you, losing track of time I've got so much of my love to share with you What will I do? I will lie awake Hoping you find your way What would I give to hold your hands in mine Or watch the stars with you, losing track of time I've got so much of my love to share with you What will I do without you? I'm losing track of time, why can't I call you mine?

There's no time for a perfect plan Don't need a right hand man Only thing I can do is try to feel alive I guess I'm singing on my own Taking the less known road Traveling way back home the day I died I'm done messing around My hearts sewn upon the sleeve And my heads in the clouds Filled and bursting at the seams Nothing will bring me down My sermon will sound All the thoughts released Speak now or forever hold your peace There's no time for a perfect plan Don't need to understand Only thing I can do is keep my chin held high I guess you're singing on your own I'm moving on alone Traveling way back home the day I died I'm done messing around My hearts sewn upon the sleeve And my heads in the clouds Filled and bursting at the seams Nothing will bring me down My sermon will sound All the thoughts released Speak now or forever hold your peace I don't have any perfect plans or a right hand man Only thing I can do is like the life I live I know I'm singing on my own The grass has grown, and I've atoned since the day I died Only thing I can do is walk in the unknown I know it's hard to leave Old time's a thief But I've got so much to be excited for

about

Different Kind Of Night was created out of my first romantic experiences as an openly gay man. As such, the whole record captures the romanticizing of love through the lens of naivety. With introspective lyrics, and catchy, uplifting melodies, the entire album combines the frustration and anxiety that accompany romance with the wonder of all it's possibilities.
