From the album description:
""Everywhere" is a compilation of previously cut, unreleased, and otherwise forgotten tracks. Most of them were originally recorded for Any Gracious Heart and didn't make the cut, and some were recorded far before the concept for Any Gracious Heart existed at all.
These songs were home recorded in metro Atlanta, Georgia, primarily from Fall 2015-Spring 2016. The album cover is a photo taken in Colorado, in the summer of 2012. Additional album covers were taken in Nebraska and my backyard."
Lyrics:
Scattered cement dust in corners, finding it for weeks
The thickest layer soon inhaled, to the lungs in me
But all this time I think we’re dying, I am wondering other things
Like will I make it there to Kenya, or do you want to talk to me
I’ll know real soon, whether I will make it
I play these tunes, I call myself an artist
I mess up math, and they’ll think I’m retarded
If they say no, I’ll be back where I started
Seeing mountains after New Year’s, refreshing my mind
I tried to play a few songs on stage a couple of times
Seeing boats down by the buildings, many hours away
From the nearest ocean water, in Navarre I never stayed
I’ll know real soon, whether I will make it
I paint Nic Jaar, I call myself an artist
The Iliad, it’s so long and so heartless
If she said no, I’d be back where I started
Be back where I started
Be back where I started
Be back where I started
I’ll know real soon, where it is I’ll be at
I run back through, the songs that I’ve recorded
The saddening truth, the clicks and pops and noises
If this sounds bad, I’ll be back where I started
