abandoned page I love all June's albums -- but this one is one that I keep coming back to. Honest But Happy is not only my favorite song on this album, it's one of my favorite songs of all time. Favorite track: Honest But Happy.

Alucard3598 I like to think of this album like a double ep, one half a fun pop joyride, the other a somber instrumental experience. Favorite track: Honest But Happy.

Amazing album. Casey's music will never cease to be a great inspiration to me. Favorite track: Made Up Lies and Stupid Day Dreams.

Don't burn bridges when you think you can fly You don't know I don't care When you finally let it out on me I won't be There for you this time And we need, some kind of miserable game Where we Can't stand one another and You, don't wanna talk right now And I I agree with you there Don't even want to know And you want to show But you can't find A way out of here (x2) Don't even wanna speak your name (x3) Don't even wanna say it Don't kill the messenger when it's done It's alright It won't hurt When the owls come to take you away I'll just laugh And throw you a bone and it hurts Trying to think of what it's like To be you And it's true You're the reason I'm going away And so far I've no complaints Don't even want to know And you want to show But you can't find A way out of here (x3)

Nervous gold shuddering in my hands Placating diamonds don't know where the light is Be here tomorrow, hand off platinum Fire in your eyelids, sapphire sapphire I got jade wrapped around my finger I've got amber melting my heart You wanna be something better than what I am I'm gonna be, your precious stone All the diamonds in the mound, mean nothing next to you I formally apologize for the minor digression But you know babe it's all about the tension And I know that you and I We're going down-town tonight, tonight (X5)

I don't wanna grow up now I don't wanna grow up now I don't wanna grow up now Not in this world that we live in (x2) I wanna play with my little toy car You better not tell me to grow up again I just wanna have fun, fun I just wanna have fun, fun (x2) I don't wanna grow up now I don't wanna grow up now I don't wanna grow up now Not in this world that we live in (x4) I wanna play with my little toy car You better not tell me to grow up again I just wanna have fun, fun I just wanna have fun, fun (x2) And I don't wanna pay my taxes, I don't wanna get in trouble with the law, I just wanna stay young. That doesn't mean age, that means in mindset. I just want to enjoy life. I don't wanna grow up now I don't wanna grow up now I don't wanna grow up now Not in this world that we live in (xtoo much)

Laying in the fields Lavender Sunrise I am by your side Hands clasping mine Drinking chamomile Golden sunset Books in our hands Scarves on the couch Beds are unmade Shoes kicked aside Snapshots while eating My self-made perfect lies If only you were real (x3) My perfect memories Your tousled messy hair Your father's dog tags The scar from fifth grade You got in a fight Your handmade tote bag The paintings you made The songs that you sing That reminds you of me The way you brush your teeth The way you comb your hair The sweater you wear When you feel self-concious Your favorite drink Our favorite song The Sunday in June When you told me you loved me If only you were real, now (x3) My perfect man They're all made up lies And stupid day dreams But maybe they won't be Someday (x4)

Ghost 04:03
White ghost telling me Everything I do is wrong I don't belong here We don't belong here Something in my head just Won't back down I don't know just what it is I don't know if we'll survive (x2) I don't know If you can't Can they see? I don't know If you want them to then they'll surely find you Can we scream? It won't help If they touch? Then we'll turn Into ghosts, yeah into ghosts If we wan't to find Anything we desire Let 'em take your hand Go into the light And save yourself From all the bad places we used to know White ghost telling me Everything I do is wrong I don't belong here We don't belong here Something in my head just Won't back down I don't know just what it is I don't know if we'll survive (x2) If this is death it's not what I imagined (x2) I'm holding you You're holding me So close I can See the gold ring in your eye Can you see them? Can you feel them? They're bringing us back To where we belong White ghost telling me Everything I do is wrong I don't belong here We don't belong here Something in my head just Won't back down I don't know just what it is I don't know if we'll survive (x2)

I don't Want to be wrong I don't Want you to hurt I don't Want to say I'm sorry I don't Want a reason to I do Love you madly I do Wanna take your hand I do Wanna sleep on the phone I do Wanna be with you Darling My baby doll When Trouble Rears it's head I'll be Fighting For you Love And If I Start it I still mean well I hope against hope I pray you are right I don't want to be Your bad news tonight (x2) I'm caged I'm misunderstood It's my fault I'm so unclear I need To hear you well I swear You're my counter-point I will Overstep my bounds Leave me In your rear-view I can't Discern my faults But you You're perfection I know I seem Desperate But Really You leave No choice For me To bother With comparing Myself Against you Truly I hope against hope I pray you are right I don't want to be Your bad news tonight I pray against pray I hope against hope Don't want to be Your bad news tonight Honest but happy (x3) I swear to you Honest but happy (x3) I swear to you I swear to you (x3)

about

Recorded in various bedrooms (typically my own) from late '08 to early '09. It's a kerfluffle of bleeps, bloops, chugga-chuggas and snap-POW! Thanks for listening. <:
