Ash to Ash Dust to Dust We laid you to bed at a quarter to dusk I swear to god I won’t this time I swear that this is just a warning cry So let this message go unread Because on the inside I’m already dead So search the cupboards for a paper With your last known return address But no ones sending you any birthday money this year Because they already know where that money’s been spent Go on and ruin your life again So tell me was I a good man to you? I swore I did all I could do But that’s a lie I slacked off every time I tied the noose that hung me dry Now I’m waiting for someone to kick the chair Wish I could do it myself Wish I did, wish I cared So leave Go on and kick the chair We all, we all come from nothing and nowhere Wasting our time Just a means to an end We don’t, we don't give up so easy Here in Nowhere where nothing begins We all, we all come from nothing and nowhere Wasting our time Just a means to an end We don’t, we don't give up so easy Here in Nowhere where nothing begins

Tell me what I’m running from, where I’m going Where should I lay my head at night? What can I do to dull these voices? Scraping on my inside? Nothing ever changes We all just stay the same We preach what we believe in Then don’t do a goddamn thing Don’t mislead me with a sermon Because your words are meaningless Between the lines that you are quoting Was a message misinterpreted And you can’t see the storm below the sea And you can’t shake that man from his belief And you think you know everything Forever more, forever more Never knocking on god’s door We all want to be a savior But this world will nail you down So why don’t you pull out all the splinters? And find yourself a better crown What becomes of all our ash When there’s no more soul to hold? Can you shake out all your fears? All the troubles and the unknowns And you can’t see the storm below the sea And you can’t shake that man from his belief And you think you know everything Forever more, forever more Never knocking on god’s door All the words we wasted on you Prophets nothing more than words Tell your god I’m not appealing Forevermore knocking on your door And you can’t see the storm below the sea And you can’t shake that man from his belief And you think you know everything Forever more, forever more Never knocking on god’s door

My Nowhere 03:26
lyrics

I see the wind it’s shaking all the trees They twist and turn and beg me please don’t leave In three more months see what’s become of us We’ll turn to dirt and then the earth will rust But if I’m decaying, that’s the way it’s supposed to be I still believe that there’s a chance for us (I’m like a wound that you could never suture shut) I still believe that there’s a chance for us (So what you running from, what are you running from?) Everyone is rooting for you So bury your selfish pride And see all your demons for what they are All the failures that keep you up at night I still believe that there’s a chance for us (I’m like a wound that you could never suture shut) I still believe that there’s a chance for us (So what you running from, what are you running from?) Everyone is rooting for you so when will you lead your life? The dust in the sky is getting thicker again Soon it will smother us all So pack your things and let’s head for the coast And let the waves clear the dirt off our broken bones Now I’m older and bolder None the wiser as well I’m always seeking out failure My perpetual hell So I buried the sin Cause I can’t let it win And I stay in my nowhere Where nothing begins again! When they come in the night You won’t put up a fight You run so god won’t catch us When the dirt fills the air You’ll feel so ill prepared, but swallowed Well God won’t catch us As we grow As we loathe The little pieces of this lonely heartless soul I'm a lonely heartless soul

about

The year is 1930. A candle is lit in church to illuminate the choir’s sheet music. The candle gets knocked over, the church burns to the ground with a woman inside, and along with it a town withers as massive sky-blackening storms threaten to swallow the earth whole. The inhabitants barely hang onto hope, wondering if the God they’ve been praying to has turned its back on them and left them behind... Welcome to A Town Named Nowhere.

Volume I introduces the narrative of Nowhere and sets the scene: The land has been laid barren and resolve stripped from the residents who call it home. Innocence lost with the light of a fire; Nowhere is not what it’s been and the time has come for renewal. We meet our characters Clifford, our protagonist; Eleanor, his late wife; George, his brother; and The Pastor, Eleanor’s father and Clifford’s father-in-law. We also meet our narrators, the Dust & Dirt, who share outward perspectives of the inner turmoil of the townspeople.

Each digital download comes with a bonus PDF of the Songbook from our website featuring lyrics & the story behind the record.
