Don't Get Anxious

Well you're barely making rent You're elbow deep in debt All that's in your pocket is a broken cigarette You're walking kind of slouched and your head is always aching Your check is always in the mail but oh how long its taking I got the broke ass blues Well it seems thath every body thinks they've got to slave away It wouldn't be so bad if Big Brother wouldn't squander all my pay But hey We're all together and we're doin fine Everybody's laughing and it didn't cost a silver nickel So if you've to find you've got a hole in your shoes Get them toes a'tappin while I sing the Broke ass blues I got the broke ass blues Hey there sir you've got some nerve walkin up to me Shimmering your fancy watch and shimmering your teeth Talking 'bout your Tesla and your caddy coupe deville. No sir I don't need a ride but I'm sure you'll find a nice young drunk girl who Will you make come noise out loud if you know what I mean I don't think that we were meant to die for that machine So come and gather round and make your tattered shoes move And listen while I sing the broke ass blues I got the broke ass blues

Empathy 02:47
Talk to me, there is no place else I'd rather be Tell me I'm not living senselessly in a life of fantasy I will give you all of me, Understand that I will never be Unwary of your heart Empathize, I see nothing but light in your eyes Someone told me that I was not wise That I'm in for a surpise They don't know the hurt inside I believe that you could save my life I've got longing in my heart Baby, we are so very young. And time is on our side. And I know I could carry on with out you, but give me one good reason why

Tacet 05:02
Last time I looked I didn't have a body No limbs No hair No center Felt like I was just a thought Made myself a list But now I can't remember All of the things I love Soon will they Evaporate House on the steepest hill Why do you show your children how to steal? Why does it get so lonesome when you feel You've got it all? Well you can have it all See around corners and you're set for life Yeah boy That's right You've really got it locked down tight Last time I spoke I didn't make a single sound The vibrations I caught Rounded out my broken thoughts Man in the breathless jetplane Man, could you be more mindful of your aim? I won't dare overlook What my eyes will let me see What they will let me see That you're much like me They will let me see And we shall be free

Phoenix 04:22
On the front porch of my mind A bourbon black starry night in Phoenix Arizona Red clay fortress right in my view Spent the last 60 centuries pushing its way through Suddenly I see After the dust had settled There in front of me White fluorescent bird with a telegram It reads: Don't get anxious Cities fall at the wave of her wing It's an age old narrative The world is rife with silly things I begin to waste a little of my time Sitting preoccupied trouble coloring my mind And then I took a drink The taste lifted a floodgate And I began to sink Into a blue shaded velvety dream Words echoing Don't get anxious Side note: I stood in the road What was brought to my attention? Something you'd said a long time ago Oh but who really knows

Bear Trap 02:54
Head full of high Cut throat and dry When you look at it right It really does seem it's got a place A designated space In the high altitudes There, food for you Step out and see it caught in the middle of the light Whats that? a little unburied seed And it's already got it's sprout We tick-tocked it out And now all clocks move backwards How do you like time now? It's perfectly safe now Down in the dry dry desert Of your heart I had a very lovely picnic With a blanket made of playing cards And that tasty tasty snack went down the hatch just fine Then I laid my head upon your apprehension

about

Meggan Carney Austin, Texas

Meet indie-folk pysch-rock singer-songwriter Meggan Carney. Effortlessly she uses her haunting range to paint a perfect portrait of fantastical youth, with shredding guitar and classical piano interludes giving way to multi-layered paeans of harmonious sound. Her music is enchanting, romantic, and organic; a tender young woman's tales spun into a raw and fearless web of psych-electronic sonance. ... more
