The Parkway 02:07
lyrics

It was Christmas in October When our hearts were introduced Or rather, They had met 10 years before But never quite like this You told me you were takin yours And headed on the road I even wrote a song about it But forgot all of the chords When I woke my head was poundin I was runnin late for work Goddammit, The whole world smelled like french perfume But only we knew why I had your sock on by mistake You told me "Keep it safe!" So I kept it in a box and it moved with me From state to state Many nights I'd lay awake With dreams of bein by your side Often times while not a lone A secret I would hide I know it wasn't right But my heart belonged to you I owe them all apologies For all the times I wasn't true Months turned into years As we lived our separate lives No matter, The embers never died The fire burning my insides I gave myself to others Only pieces here and there The rest I pressed against your forehead Hoped I'd get back in time

I Was Still Yours, You Were Still Mine 02:07
lyrics

You know that I don't have much to give Take my heart, but leave my soul Those words that we hurl at each other They don't mean shit, I promise you this I dreamt of a world where you'd gone I cried for years, felt so alone I woke with your head on my shoulder You were still mine I was still yours

What a Turn of Events 02:21
lyrics
buy track
The sun is shinin I'm drippin with sweat Who's bed am I layin in? What a turn of events... Been a month, maybe longer, But who's keepin track? Let's rewind to October And never come back Gonna play my numbers, 15-17 Need an 8 or 11 to stay in the game Losin more than I'm winnin I'm still placin bets Six months in the chamber, I'm rushin roulette There goes my job There goes my wife Thought I didn't need either Well...I was half right Now I'm drunk and alone Cursin life to the starts But they keep on shinin, Cause life goes...and on...and on...

Smoke but No Fire 13:35
lyrics
buy track
Does that fire still burn When you're thinking of me? Do you still lie awake thinking Of what could be? If I told you "I'm sorry" And I tried not to hurry, Would you wait for me? I see smoke in the air But there's no source of light Did it's own under cover of night Or did you dash it yourself to avoid getting burned? I can't tell anymore Let's rekindle that flame We've got half of the tools The steel in your heart, the flint in my veins We could build it up stronger If we start from the bottom, I know it'd work Darlin, I hear what you're saying Through the smoke and the tears Feel the cracks that have formed and weathered Year after year I know I can't heal you, But you sure would feel better in the warmth

Aaron J Roman Texas

Jinx and The Hammer is Aaron Roman from Austin, TX. It's hard to pick a genre he fits into, there's a bit of surf, folk, country, doo-wop, and a bit of heartbreak thrown in. There's a desperation to Aarons lyrics, as he often uses his writing to try and understand why he's got so many dang feelings. Musically, he likes to juxtapose his emo ass lyrics with something you can also tap your toes to. ... more
