I’ve got a feeling that this train won’t stop That’s fine with me don’t plan on getting off I’ve got no place to be, no, I don’t have a single thing Conductor, doctor, give me the news I’ve got a bad case of travelin’ blues So I’ll pack my bags and off we’ll go until the tracks run out or the engine blows There is no distance that’s too far to travel With every mile more of my fears unravel There is no feeling that compares Sun on your face, wind in your hair Conductor, doctor, give me the news I’ve got a bad case of travelin’ blues So I’ll pack my bags and off we’ll go until the tracks run out or the engine blows For miles and miles we’ll go and go And where we stop nobody knows I’ll close my eyes and throw the dart And where it lands is where I’ll start Conductor, doctor, I know what to do I’m gonna come along with you I’ve pack my bags and I’m ready to go Until the tracks run out Or the engine, the engine, the engine blows

I stole your recipe The one that you served to me At first it was bitter, but I've grown accustom to the taste I've made it all my own Dish it out to everyone I know So thanks for sharing it with me Loose leaf resentment served up by the cup I make it all myself in my little coffee shop You wanna pour over, talk it out But I know you'll only steam up You want one shot to work it out But I know we don't agree now And I'm looking at an empty cup But I can't be the one who fills you up You taught me a thing or two About this toxic brew So pull up a chair, cause it's too good not to share I'm just giving back what I got So sorry my words are hot They'll burn you up nice, and then leave you cold as ice My little coffee shop don't get the business that it should Everyone's complaining that my atmosphere's no good You wanna pour over, talk it out But I know you'll only steam up You want one shot to work it out But I know we don't agree now And I'm looking at an empty cup But I can't be the one who fills you up Well I've been sipping on this poison  And watching time go by Oh, I've been sipping on this poison And hoping you would die I locked myself inside the cage that I made for you I thought by punishing myself I'd be punishing you too Now I wanna pour over, talk it out But I know I'll only steam up I want one shot to work it out Even though we don't agree You say you're looking at an empty cup But you can't be the one who fills me up

It Fades 03:25
Where did the time go I guess, i guess, it fades, it fades Where did your heart go I guess, it fades the same, the same And it breaks my will To see your heart standing still But you won’t budge, i can’t move you I pushed until, I pushed right through you Where did our love go I guess, i guess, it fades, it fades Where did I go, i guess I faded too, i faded into you And it breaks my heart To see this life fall apart Where did it start And now where will it end How did we fall And can we pick back up again The ground is splitting slowly And we’ve taken our own sides My hands are reaching out But I can’t cross the great divide When I look in your eyes I see the words we’ve left unsaid Our hearts are miles and miles apart But you're just on the other side of the bed

BURNING HOUSE Burning wood, the smell of smoke, theses flames are getting higher And this house is burning down Locked into, by words we say, rooms that we cannot escape And it’s all coming down around us And I don’t see a way that we can leave Without getting burned eventually Probably think this is all because of me But she’s the one who started the fire Take me, save me, pull me from this burning house Humility’s the only thing to save us now Take me, save me, pull me from this burning house Humility’s the only thing to save us now Choking on my own excuse, slowly tightening the noose Cause, saying sorry would be too hard I justify my selfish needs and disregard the feelings of Anyone but me But I know I’m not the only one to blame You played your part like you were born for the stage I guess they’re right, Oh they’re right when they say That it takes two to tangle Take me, save me, pull me from this burning house Humility’s the only thing to save us now Take me, save me, pull me from this burning house Humility’s the only thing to save us now

You think you’re like an Oscar Wilde And you got this fire burning on the tip of your tongue You think you’ve got the golden touch And you’re worth too much To think that you could ever be wrong Oh caught in the middle of A tug-o-war for your attention But I can’t compete with your reflection Leave me in the dark after you promise me the moon Empty words strung up in stars You knew could do no harm to you Hit me with the knives This time I’m ready for the fight Between you, yourself, and I Treat your sentences like works of art Think they’ll get you far Earn you the attention that you love All hail, king of California But your reign of heartbreaks about to end now So lose the crown, because I’m done bowing down Leave me in the dark after you promise me the moon Empty words strung up in stars You knew could do no harm to you Hit me with the knives This time I’m ready for the fight Between you, yourself, and I My head is spinning and I need some quiet, quiet I’m done with putting up with all your lying, lying My head is spinning and I need some quiet, quiet God knows I’m sick of it, cause you’re so full of shhhhh Leave me in the dark after you promise me the moon Empty words strung up in stars You knew could do no harm to you Hit me with the knives This time I’m ready for the fight Between you, yourself, and I

Roger Eberts dead, wax sentimental Like I was his friend Tricking myself in, to feeling something For someone that I’ve never met Well I know that I can be anything but honest And I know quite simply that I’m no good with a promise And I think I’m obsessed, with my own profoundness Are you impressed That I, I can’t be told, I need control And It goes the same Well I react, then counter act, and then attack But I’m attacking my own brain It gets cold in here When the only warmth are my pretentious words floating through the atmosphere, ah-ah-ah Well I am not even half as smart as I would like for you to think So have another drink, and I’ll sound smarter by the second and I am not as up to date on world events as I lead on But I can write a song, I guess that’s good enough for me Roger Ebert’s dead, why do I care, I don’t but thats what I want you to think I was not his friend, he reviewed movies, and that is where my knowledge ends And I know that I can be anything but honest And I know quite simply that I’m no good with a promise And I think I’m obsessed, with my own profoundness Are you impressed That I, I can’t be told, I need control It gets lonely here when the devil on my shoulder kicks the angel off my ego starts to cheer And it goes the same, while I’m stepping over other peoples heads Trying to lift up my own name, ah-ah-ah Well I call him my ego, but it’s really just me Being the kind of person that I never want to be And I struggle with these things because my body’s made of flesh And I pray to God someday it will be made of something less And I know I can be anything but honest Cause I need for you to think that I’m some kind of a goddess And I am insecure, this I know for sure, is there something more for me

about

Graci Phillips, Burning House EP, is a beautiful glimpse into the evolution of her artistry. In the six years since her freshman effort, Catastrophe, Graci has matured into a graceful and articulate lyricist. The playful and sometimes poignant melodies of Burning House are a far cry from high school heartbreak songs. Tackling themes such as bitterness and forgiveness, dying relationships, and humility—this six song EP will leave you thinking long after the last track has ended. A hopeful prelude to a full length album coming 2018/2019, Graci is so excited to share the Burning House EP with you.
