Name: Desolation West (single)
Duration: P00H03M20S
Description: I co-wrote this song over e-mail with my good friend Colby Hewitt. We were in a band together in high school called The Wyc. We all used to have so much fun writing songs together after class. It was incredible to get a chance to collaborate again after so many years. I really love how this track came out.

lyrics

I know these tracks run side by side
All the way to New York City
I don’t want to be there, when you get on that train
What is this life anyway?
Just another cigarette, just another show, just another good thing I had to go and blow
Late at night the wicked winds blow down from Desolation West
We can never get back there again, we know our fate from all the rest

I know these tracks run side by side, but in between they’ll never meet
My eyes scan the faces in New York City
What is this life anyway?
Just another cigarette, just another show, just another good thing I had to go and blow
Late at night the wicked winds blow down from Desolation West
We can never get back there again, we know our fate from all the rest
Just another cigarette, just another show
