Smoke 03:44
I don’t know why I got smoke in my lungs I think it all the time, I think I need one Last cigarette, one more minute And I’ll be done It’s keeping me sane, keeping me tame While I’m shaking like a little rabbit I’m picking my brain, thinking how strange how I Got such a nasty habit But I’ll be done when the trembling stops and the high stays Oh I’ll be done when my head stops spinning and my hands don’t shake I’ll be done I don’t know why I got you in my bed I think it’s alright when I’m wasted You’re keeping me safe, keeping me warm when the Time’s tick-tickin’ away, I gotta warn not to listen too close ‘Cause I don’t have shit to say And I’ll be done when the windows open up in the morning Sheets get washed and we go on, I’ll be done I thought I found a way out Holding my head down And oh, it’s poundin like Hey hey hey Hey hey hey I don’t know why I got smoke in my lungs I don’t know why I think I need ya I don’t know why I got smoke in my lungs I don’t know why I got smoke in my

There is a reason why I wake up in the morning There is a fire in my heart A couple months ago I'd tell you it was over But now I tell you it's the start Oh mother, how did love her When she'd always wander, wander away? Oh father, how did you watch her When you almost lost her, when she went astray? There is a reason why I dream as big as I do There is a song on my tongue I sing it in the morning smoking in the bathroom I think I'll be forever young Oh mother, how did love her When she'd always wander, wander away? Oh father, how did you watch her When you almost lost her, when she went astray? Oh sister, how long did you miss her Staring at a picture, remembering her face? Oh brother, how is there no other Willing to uncover the things buried away? You are the reason why I wake up in the morning You are the fire in my heart You are the reason why I know it's never over You are the reason I will never stop

Daughter 04:13
The sun is setting ‘cross the water Sinking in the ground to its hiding place Do you forget you have a daughter The more the seasons pass The more time escapes? Share my skin, share my bones But you won’t look at me I see your face in my own But you don’t look at me Tell me what have I done? have I done? Cuz I don’t know why The feelings hardened I don’t know why I can’t seem to hold your gaze I don’t know when You got so quiet But it’s too bad I can’t keep holding your place The sun is setting ‘cross the water Red like a war that no side won And you can’t explain the fighting, why the fire was ignited ‘Cause it’s gone and it’s over I would knock on your door But you won’t let me I don’t knock anymore Oh my hands are heavy Less you say, the less I’ll wait The more you stall the more I say I don’t need you anyway Cuz I don’t know why The feelings hardened I don’t know why I can’t seem to hold your gaze I don’t know when You got so quiet But it's too bad, and it's too late I can't keep holding your place

Don’t call me darlin’ Don’t call me babe ‘Cause I’m not your darlin’ And I never will be All your sweet nothings Mean nothing to me So don’t call me darlin’ It ain’t that easy You saw something you wanted, made a strategy But your eyes wander all over, it’s no mystery Baby older don’t mean wiser And your smile don’t make you kinder Your disguise don’t mean you’re hiding a thing, oh Don’t call me darlin, I Won’t be coming around tonight I know your kindness comes with second intentions Some cannot see through you-- let me do you a solid And point you the other way Baby, don’t call me darlin today You think that you’ll hit your target If you keep on firing now So sure that I’m gonna soften up To you over time But baby stronger don’t mean smarter When you push you push me farther, All that flattery won’t get you to me, no

Revival 04:09
Forty days and forty nights were all it took to flood And things were gone that stood for years all buried in the mud What is stronger than the clock? Oh, over the years, it all will oxidize I can see you standing, trying to walk You fall on your knees, burying time I can see you waking up from years of beautiful lies Some hearts are so quick to fade but some things never die The young ones think you’re greying out Opening the doors to see if he’s alive You think you’re gonna find him, keep on crying out Down on your knees Burying time Carry my body Carry my mind I’m getting my blood drawn You’ve forgotten where you are, forgotten all our names But I believe in love, believe in god because of what remains Oh this invisibility has come to an end he’s there before your eyes You’re feeling what they swore you’d not feel again Preparing to leave Burying time Carry my body Carry my mind I’m getting my blood drawn And there is still time I give you mine (I’m giving in) I give you my body Awaken my mind I’m comin to meet you

Oh my love, won’t you go to bed Lost in thought my sleepy head Simple pleasures and simpler pains All can wait til the morning What am I to do Watching you fade into shades of blue What am I to do? Tell me darlin', What am I to you? Oh my love don’t you fall apart Anymore than you already are Cause I can’t mend you or set you free But I can wait 'til the morning Behind your gaze is a curtain It’s already closing down on my love And I can’t stop you from hurting When you refuse to see the remedy Is opening up your eyes

Bare Feet 03:01
Bare Feet and dirty clothes I’m happy as a child with earth between my toes, I’ve been running round in the body I miss Where was it hiding how did I forget this Windblown hair, no self to find I’ve got everything when nothing is mine and I am dancing on the ground that bore me there’s nothing after this and nothing before me so listen well and listen close can’t you hear it singing? Singing slow, it’s the song of wandering the song of the dawn the sound of bare feet on a private lawn The sound of barefeet on a private lawn the sound of barefeet on a private lawn Bare feet and dirty clothes I'm happy as a child with earth between my toes This is the song of wandering, I'm wandering 'til dawn Where was I hiding? Oh, now I'm found

The Way Back 04:09
Oh my god, it’s a long way All the way back home Oh my god, it’s a long way All the way back I wish everybody knew That I had you But she’s caught up in your ventricles You’re not sick, you’re not doing so well sometimes Well, sometimes I think you could do better I think you could just forget her sometimes Well sometimes, Well sometimes I see you running around And you see me running out Of ways to say to you, “Tell, me, what to do”

about

FROM WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 24TH TO FRIDAY FEBRUARY 26TH, 100% OF ALL MUSIC DOWNLOADS WILL GO TO R.A.C.E.S. IN CHAMPAIGN-URBANA

R.A.C.E.S. (Rape Advocacy, Counseling, and Education Services) is a phenomenal organization which provides counseling and advocacy services to address sexual assault prevention and awareness to thousands all over Champaign-Urbana each year.

Unfortunately, R.A.C.E.S.' state funding they are owed has been held hostage in the recent Illinois state budget impasse, and without everyone's help, they will be unable to keep their doors open. We believe in R.A.C.E.S. vision and the vital services they provide.

You can also help out R.A.C.E.S. by visiting their fundraising page here: www.crowdrise.com/sosraces

--------------------------------------------------

"The production alone on Otnes’ new work elevates the album to the top in the CU realm, but what’s most striking is the impact a full-band setting brings to the Urbana native’s sound.

With Daughter, the songwriting takes a noticeable step into collaboration. It becomes clear it’s no longer “The Emily Otnes Show"... The backing band, formerly known as The Weekdays, are now sharing the spotlight with the frontwoman and are making their impression felt."
