CITY OF ANGELS
Words & Music written by Justin Stewart Cotta
Father, how have you been lately?
Mother, did you find a good man?
Brother, I love you like you're my own son
Lover, have you learned to forget?
Alone in the city of angels
Home is wherever the pain is
The only friend i've got is the devil's brew
I've been drinking to forget but I remember you
Come home soon
Doctor, modern medicine failed me
I've been howling like a dead man's dog
Lately I've been sleeping with a gun by my side
My fingers are itchy tonight
Alone in the city of angels
Home is wherever the pain is
The only friend i've got is the devil's brew
I've been drinking to forget but I remember you
Come home soon
Seven seas and seven sins
Swallowed by the silver bird
Playing dot to dot with the stars
I see the faces of the ones left behind
Father, how have you been lately?
Mother, did you find a good man?
Brother, I love you like you're my own son
Lover, have you learned to forget?
Alone in the city of angels
Home is wherever the pain is
The only friend i've got is the devil's brew
I've been drinking to forget but I remember you
Come home soon
I miss you

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
Words & Music written by Justin Stewart Cotta
I want to take the pressure off
I want to bring the temperature down
You know it's breaking me
That you might need
Some time alone...
You don't have to work a miracle
You don't have to play it cool
I know I'm out of frame
I'm splattered paint on your old blue jeans
Baby, I'm still crazy
You don't have to save me
You don't have to love me anymore
But can we still hold hands and clown around at the grocery store?
You don't have to worry anymore
But can we still hang out and I can crash on your bedroom floor?
I won't tell you that your beautiful
I won't call you at 3am
I won't play guitar of your favourite songs by your window
I saw you with a new man
I saw what I could not be
And I'm not gonna lie, I broke down and cried to see you happy
Baby, I'm still crazy
You don't have to save me
You don't have to love me anymore
But can we still hold hands and clown around at the grocery store?
You don't have to worry anymore
But can we still hang out and I can crash on your bedroom floor?
I love you my angel
More than you'll ever know

JUST ENOUGH (Part Two)
Words & Music written by Justin Stewart Cotta
I kissed your sleeping eyes
A coward's goodbye
I can't love you
Swallowing tears and pride
I whispered goodnight
And wished you well
This kindness is cruel
My hope is for fools
A liars painting peels
Love, threw me a bone, just big enough for me to choke on
Love, threw me a rope just long enough for me to hang from
Love, gave me hope, just enough, to fall again
A quiet sabotage
My camouflage has left me naked
From a lonely chair I sat and I stared
And asked the question...
Can a man ever give what a boy never had
God knows I tried
Love, throw me a bone, just big enough for me to choke on
Love, throw me a rope, just long enough for me to hang from
Love, give me hope, just enough, to fall again
I saw you cry
Did you see me?
Love, throw me a bone, just big enough for me to choke on
Love, throw me a rope, just long enough for me to hang from
Love, give me hope, just enough, to fall again

LITTLE THINGS
Words & Music written by Justin Stewart Cotta
You see through the pantomime when I say I'm fine,
You see all the colours when I draw outside the lines,
You say people's names for me when I do forget sometimes,
When I wander, you stay by my side
It's the light in your eyes
It's the little things
It's how you stop space and time
It's the little things
Those handwritten notes you leave for me to find,
Those times you say nothing, and you just let me cry,
You point out the moon to me when darkness fills the sky,
You whisper, things will be fine
It's how you laugh when you cry
It's the little things
You see the faces in the sky
It's the little things
You know we don't live forever
Stop thinking. Just do.
There's still time to start over
I will be here for you...
Waiting so patiently, wandering aimlessly
So good to see you, farewell for now...
Tell me that we'll be alright
Tell me you'll stay through the night
It's the little things, It's the little things
It's how we danced in the rain, It's the little things
It's how you held me through the pain, it's the little things
It's the light in your eyes, It's the little things
It's how you stop space and time, It's the little things
