Growing up just dealing with your insanity It's just another example of our duality It's a great experience when I see and old acquaintance And they've accomplished so much In a short time

In the morning I awoke to you lying next to me You thought that I had left, but I just got up to drink I had you kind of worried there for a second The next day I called you up to see how you were But there was no reply no one answered the front door But I'm not worried, I'm not worried yet Could I be a joy to you, could you love me, and will you? Or am I some kind of toy to you as you play with me? Do you think that I don't think that you think that I'm a fool? I've been branded by your love but I think that it might be a lie When I reminisce on the events that took place that fateful night Sometimes tears of joy, and other times regrettable thoughts One day I'm sure I'll forgive you, but it'll take some time A damaged heart can't regenerate just overnight It may seem inconsequential till you look in his eyes It's only a disguise He had those pretty blue eyes Then you watched him die (some time later) Found a woman I can make my bride She never tells a lie And goddamn she's got me tongue tied Can't remember the last time you said something nice But I think it was December of 2005 Could I be a joy to you, could you love me, and will you? Or am I some kind of toy to you as you play with me? Do you think that I don't think that you think that I'm a fool? I think that you're the fool.

A. Jenny 07:05
Oh Jenny I just met you tonight Oh Jenny You seem to be alright I would ask you for your number But that wouldn't be right So I won't tell you my name That way it'll be fair Oh Jenny Won't you be my candle light? To light up the darkness of my bedroom And would you swoon? At the thought of getting to know me tomorrow Or be able to say, "That boy is mine" Is it wrong for me want these things to happen? Or is it right, to be with you tonight? Oh Jenny why don't you come with me tonight Oh Jenny it's not wrong to take a chance Oh my darling You got in your car and you drove away All of your friends ignored your feelings You never saw me again Oh my darling, Jenny What if you heard my song on the radio? You didn't know it was me But you felt my energy Could I get you to sing along? I know you wanted to But then maybe you lied Perhaps you thought I was cute Close your eyes Open your heart Keep an open mind For the good old boys

Get off the floor you silly drunk, my best friend Hate to see you drowning your aura, and slowly killing yourself But listen to me now, I'm not sure how to say this But the color of your light was blue, but now it's a deep red You know I love you You called me from a hotel room, you got some Blue Moons But that's alright, I would've joined you with a bottle of wine It's just sometimes I worry, you know I can't look after you But you're a big boy, you'll face the consequences of your actions soon Just keep in mind the worlds much more grand than you and I (nylon string solo) You know I love you (Stylophone solo) When I was a kid, I would think about my soul How I became, where I'm from, used to scare me to death We have a connection you and I, a tangible link It's "Party Time"

B. Be Calm 04:52
I'm retired from responsibility I can't balance a checkbook I won't pick up my phone I need not to be alone But I hadn't known Till after I met you Your visions of the past When I rest at night I can't fall asleep I can't even dream I don't remember my dreams But I can't be afraid Someone depends on me I've got to reach into my notebook And summon a reprieve Be calm my dear It's the only way to help you Save your mind Be calm with me Let's at least be one together And bathe in cosmic color Be calm my dear Don't know when the end is coming But we'll know it when it's here Be cam with me Let's pretend we're versions of ourselves In dimentions where we made it I'll be right here, I'll be right here I can't be alone, I don't want to be alone I think I'd die if I was alone
6.
I wanna be a ghost in your apartment Close to you and sustained by your energy Haunting your dark rooms And turning the light back on I want to be the chaos no one sees I want to be the feeling of unease I want to be a good ghost Dancing eyes have bared a terrible sight Which makes them the same as mine So if you have to make a choice Choose the hard one, I'll help you We are Gods We can move mountains But that doesn't mean we can solve all our problems We have to work together now I wanna be the black thing behind your heart But not in the scene where it might tear you apart The self doubt of being a struggling human being It's all just working for the company And I will come to you if you come to me And I will feed you when you're hungry It's nice to meet another human body Who loves Hayao Miyazaki Don't count me out yet I'm coming around the back Don't beg for things Do it yourself Or else you won't get anything I want to marry my best friend I want to bury my best friend
7.
B. Julie 04:03
Julie, you sing so softly When we're alone, I listen to your record repeatedly You emulate the sound of souls searching Escaping the ether to ease into an Earthly home, and I'm like Julie, I wish I could play like you You've got a way with my emotions Your "Room With Walls and Windows" warms me It colors my chords and turns into a keepsake, and I'm like

about

"The Distance" is a DIY album that was started early in 2014 to be the last installment of this musical trilogy, a 3 LP chronicling of Patrick MacCready's journey as a musical artist ("The Garden of Experience" and "1973 Ford Pinto"). With its beginning planted on home recordings in the basements of sisters and mothers, and ending finally with a full 5-peice psychedelic rock family, the dream of cultivating a collective aspiration instead of fighting against it all alone was finally realized.

The first 4 tracks of this album were recorded in Illinois, on a farm, 30 miles South of the Quad Cities. Tracks 5,6, and 7 were recorded in various living rooms and bedrooms over the course of a year and a half while playing gigs in the greater Des Moines area, Ames, and Iowa City. All songs written by Patrick MacCready, recorded and mixed by P. Reed Iverson, Forest Cochran, and Patrick MacCready. A trifecta of ears.

This incarnation will now be put to rest as P. Reed Iverson begins a new life on the West coast living as a monk. Patrick MacCready will adopt more members after some time spent traveling. Time traveling.
