Time it seems to fade away Like the songs my father used to play Like the words my mother used to say "Son don't ever grow to be this way." And I know the seasons change and help me grow And I just don't feel so young anymore And my sister is far off on some dusty road She's the only one I think could understand Father forgive me for what I've done I'm your son, I know I haven't been much of one And mama I never meant to make you cry Sometimes we do things and don't know why And I know the drinkin' doesn't help me Sometimes it's just my way of getting by Drunk again, outside I laugh, inside I cry And just can't go on living this way Time it seems to slip away Like the games as children we used to play Like the words our mothers used to say "Learn to love, then just give it all away." And we're told, the seasons change to help us grow But I just don't feel so young anymore And my sister is far off on some dusty road She's the only one I think could understand The sun will rise and set again And I know I'll always have a friend Just as long as I keep playing silly songs Somehow I know that I will get along

I see you on the couch Your looking strung out Consumed in thoughts Maybe you'll find peace Through pieces of memories Come, you're mine Come outside I see you on the chair You tug at your hair You're pulling it out Maybe you'll find peace Maybe you'll find me Calm your mind Come outside

City Lights 03:23
I've been ridding 16 hours On a train headed nowhere Will someone please get me off of this car I need some air Or at least a cigarette, don't hold your breath I left my heart in Colorado I've tried so hard to get back there It seems as though the further I go it don't compare And I'm wasting time Down under the city lights And all the world is moving Much too fast now to catch up Will someone get me off of this thing called love The radio's playing our song It makes me wish that I was back home in your arms Will someone please tell me that it's okay to dream And I'm wasting time Underneath the city lights And all the world is moving Far too fast now to catch up Will someone get me off of this thing called love

You say you have no friends Just failed attempts at love Oh what will you do now? You're caught between the sheets And won't get out of bed She whispers through your head Now you're broken again Call everyone you know And tell them you miss home Can't stand to be alone in the quiet And everything's so quiet And you scream but no one seems to hear Or no one even cares You're wishing you were there You're a million miles away from her smile Just tell me everything is going to be okay Let's just try to fill the empty spaces In the room of broken dreams You'll see, you'll see When all is lost and broken You'll surely be set free

about

about

Inaiah Lujan Pueblo, Colorado

"Whether laying down some succulent psychotropic hip-hop as DJ Flow Nase, feeding off of severely distorted barre chords with the riff-heavy punk band A Poor Substitute, or lending distinctive vocal abilities to the peculiar and hypnotic "funeral pop" band The Mexican, Pueblo's Inaiah Lujan is plainly a restless soul."

-Adam Leech, The Independent
