    I have a bunch of copies of 'rundown' that I made to sell at gigs, etc. that I'd love to extend sales to for the general internet public fanbase. Of course, feel free to buy the album digitally, but with this merch purchase, you get an original cd sleeve as well. I made them all by hand with stencils I drew and cut out and spray-painted. I wrote all the song titles on the back of the sleeve, and it's also printed with my hand-made social media and personal email stamps. The cd case is made out of recycled material and is 100% recyclable in the future. Of course there is original art on the cd, too. If you're the type of person who would prefer to have cds in your car or your boombox at home, or if you want to share it around with people or give it as a gift to someone, this is the opportunity! I will include a handwritten thank you!

lyrics

"A twister formed from Hell and storm one dry and dusty day,
touched down right upon my family and carried them away.
I know it ain’t my fault but God I still feel so ashamed.
No house or hand to hold the soul borne to my parents’ names.

“Let go”
I know, I know.

I built a garden green and growing everything I’d need.
The winter fell and starved me well down to the deepest seed.
I know it ain’t my fault but I still feel this kind of grief
for what is mine – from dirt to dimes, the flowers to the weeds.

“Let go”
I know, I know.

One last time I tried to find something to believe:
a way to pray, a face whose love could bring me to my knees.
I know it ain’t my fault these fires burned down all the trees,
but still it’s home and though I’m alone I can’t bring myself to leave.

“Let go”
I know, I know."
