Featured Download on MassLive: ‘Other States’ and ‘You Were A Cynic’

matthewonmassliveOver at MassLive.com, I am the Featured Download this week. Head on over to download your copy of You Were A Cynic and Other States. They were recorded back when Mr. State Shirt himself was in town. He even played the melodica on Other States.

Lyrics to You Were A Cynic:

You were a cynic when I knew you long ago, but since then things have changed somewhat. Some years have passed and now you find yourself alone. Your time at home is bittersweet. In time, the failures that you hid inside yourself and hopes you have will coexist. But every hourglass you smashed against the wall has somehow failed to prove your point. Has somehow failed to prove your point.

Lyrics to Other States:

Every single friend of yours has moved to other states. Now every lonely evening feels the same. Who will listen to you? ‘Cause you have burned some bridges and have stepped over loose change. And now you have no-one to call who will listen to you. No one who will listen to you.
