Loneliness
02:24

|
Loneliness has been my only friend
‘Cos I can’t connect with no one ‘fore too long, is “So long!”
I don’t know why it’s so, or where it did begin
And I feel in my heart, in the dark, that my fate will be bad Count my blessings like crows
Keep my chin up I suppose, from circling the drain
I never figured out how to grease the wheels
Get through office life, get myself swiped right, where I belong It’s got to the point where delights have all deserted me
The thrills are long-gone, looking forward to no one this Xmas time
Slapping my own face for all my mistakes –– I know it’s wrong All’s I need’s a break –– then I can reshape this road am on

Dude Can't Abide
01:57
|
|||
|
Walking through the woods for all day I was peaceful there
Thence across the dunes to the waves
Moonlight light me there
“‘Cos this dude can’t abide the four walls where he come from
But nothing better’s come to mind”
The pull to roam is strong but no way no conviction there
If some sound advice someone say
None to be had, yeah

Ghost
02:30
|
|||
|
There’s a ghost in my house — the ghost is me And I find myself pulling things out of place
So until the dawn, I call through the wall
Barely there at all
There’s a shade in my shade where I lie When I’ve said all my prayers, burnt my sage –– propitiations vain
In crepuscule dusk, a rasping husk Barely breathe at all
Kletbu zůstavuji tobě, matko má,
Kletbu zůstavuji tobě, bys nenašla místa v hrobě,
Žes mi zvůli dávala!

Hard To Forget
02:27
|
|||
|
Is hard to forget going insane, with no one listening, no one
Is hard to forget that abyss inside that glistens, a black star
“And if I ballsed it up badly, as is my wont
You really cannot blame me, broken an’ all”
Is hard to forget losing reason, return to meaning is so far
Is hard to forget in-head whispering, sticks the knife in so long ago
If you know what I mean — you too are a bad seed
Can’t right from wrong and wrong all along

No One Knows
02:03
|
|||
|
No one knows, no one knows what it’s like for me
No one knows what it’s like for me
Sailing solo — a good hand down
No one knows, no one knows what it’s like for me
A space in the sun of loving someone who understands A safe place to run, far from this world’s harsh demands No one knows, no one knows what it’s like for me Time’s a weather, weathering me
No one knows, no one knows what it’s like for me
All curled up inside, a voice that derides all I do
Folks look strange at me, by now I ought to be claimed

You're Gonna Miss Me
02:39
|
|||
|
You’re gonna miss me in the morning In the sun up, in the mist downy dew Turn in your bed, reach your hand out “I won’t be there, feeling cold without my love
Yeah, you’re gonna miss me”
You’re gonna miss me in the morning Am your first thought, as your coffee brews
Just the clocking tick of your heartbeat

How We Say Goodbye
02:12
|
|||
|
I said some harsh words to you
Yes, am sorry — but you deserve to know the truth
A friend ought to not tell a lie, or be sharpening knives “Is this how we say goodbye?”
You said some barbed things to me to make me cry
Is this where we’re at, thorns in our side?
When friendships are hard to find, someone of like mind If time’s such a healer
Why, when do things fall apart, not get nearer at all?
“Is this where we say goodbye?
Is this how we say goodbye?”

Songwriter, musician, producer, author.
Trey’s influences lean into the 70s – whatever the genre.
His warm voice and song stylings have been described as “Bowie meets Beck on the back of the bus”.
From out of Liverpool, Trey Roque lives in Prague (CZ), where he makes his music by hand, soup to nuts. So to speak.
His music is only here on Bandcamp, at his shows, and his website.
