Newspaper pictures got you thinking you’re immortalized Tell me are these the glory days All champagne and red shades Turn around again to show off all your good sides Technicolor fading back to gray Anyway, hey hey Dorian Gray Queen of diamond rings now the queen of broken hearts Thinning out the stack along the way Every minute every hour every day Who what where are you a mystery in three parts Time keeps sailing a way Anyway, hey hey Dorian Gray Hold it down with the lock and key But that never stopped me before Hold on now to what you can see But you can’t trust me anymore Dorian Gray

I heard a little whisper That you stopped showing your face I heard a rumor That you locked your soul away Never mind how we get there We’re all going to the same place Never mind how you got your Brand new shoes and your brand new face Never mind when I showed up I was there in time to watch you go Never mind where I’m going Chances are you already know I got your letter In a couple of business days You said you'd never felt so alive In quite so many ways Dorian Gray

A minute an hour a day (What did you say?) Give me a mulligan I’ll make it this time (What did you hide?) Take the whetstone to the blade (What did you say?) Roll again I’ll stare into your snake eyes (What were you hiding?) A signal a lighthouse a flare No warning could stop me now Double-talk on a double-dog dare Swing around again and make it somehow Oh no, what have you done? Oh no, what did I do? (4x) Well time is a really straight line If you walk off of yours then you’ll run into mine Time is a circular line If you walk the wrong way than we’re gonna collide (2x) A minute and hour a day Give me a mulligan I’ll make it this time Never go back, never again Never go back, never go back, never go back

We thought we’d take the world by storm But by the end we found The world had been flooded and we wanted more Now you’re lying on the bathroom tile Ain’t it funny all the cracks in the armor You’re cracking a smile Well we buried hatchets six feet deep But every now and then They come back to haunt us and keep us from sleep Now you’re staring with your bloodshot eyes Glazed over oversensitive to sound and to light Done right by us Fought our fights and we lost Couldn’t keep our glass house When the money ran out I thought you were the perfect love Sent from heaven Now I know there ain’t nothing to see up above Playing chicken, let’s see who folds first But let me tell you now I’ll go all the way to the grave with the curse I've been pining, panning for that gold but so far I'm just a fool And all I can dig up is coal I'll lay my shovel down if you will too I've dug so long But I can never get back to the center of you So grab a bucket right now Help me bail us out We’ve been sinking on down Since the money ran out Your honesty makes my skin crawl I don’t want to hear it so It’s better for you to say nothing at all I’m done trying to patch these holes I keep on working, working Working my fingers right down to the bone But the outside world, it leaks in still Even with both of us There’s too many cracks that we never can fill We’re thirsty but we’re drowning And we’re starving but we’re stuffed And we’ve got everything we need But it’s never no never enough When the money ran out

about

First of all, thank you for checking out this debut EP. After years of playing together in various combinations and through a range of styles from bluegrass to psychedelia, brothers Sam and Dan Kok and their good friend Zach Adams have come up with Chekhov's Gun. This is bluesey, gritty rock music that is as fun to create and perform as it hopefully is to listen to and watch. Enjoy these initial sounds and once again, thank you for listening.
