Control 06:32
Letting go. It's freezing out here with the sun down. At least I got to see it glow. If that's better than not seeing it at all. I had to lose control to get it back. I had to find a home for the fire. in seasons I wandered back and forth and under. back and forth and underground. underground yet I'm still around.

Only Then 04:25
I'm waiting for planets to align. The perfect time is a way down the line. I expect love. I expect love will sit and wait. I'll burn like a fire only then. I will drift to the wire only then. I'll change with the tide only then. I'll turn on a dime only then. Empathy will only empty me. I won't stop. I'll plow on until I'm free. I'll burn like a fire only then. I will drift to the wire only then. I'll change with the tide only then. I will turn on a dime only then. I will walk to the edge only then. I'll hear what is said only then. I'll live how I planned only then. I will live when I can only then.

Go Easy 04:49
You've been stumbled. You've been used. You've been severed. Cut in two. Keep the notion that I'm not giving up. Deep in your bones if that's deep enough. Go easy just for today Go easy no need to say Go easy there's nothing left to prove but go easy When you're surrendered. When you're undone. When you're resisted. Second to one. When the darkness rises up to your eyes. I still feel your light burning warmer than mine. Go easy just for today Go easy no need to say Go easy there's nothing left to prove but go easy When there's nothing to say there is nothing to blame. Every ear like a shark, won't stop feeding. Keeping feelings at bay isn't keeping you sane. Even life on parole has it's freedom. So keep the notion that I'm not giving up. Deep in your bones if that's deep enough. Go easy just for today Go easy no need to say Go easy there's nothing left to prove but go easy

We can't make sense of it if we never stop to look. but let's just move on on our way, yeah. This kind of love's too big to spend on us alone there is more to give and that's more than some will know. We are tight for room with this elephant between. So let's just move on out the way. Yeah. This kind of love's too big to spend on us alone. There is more to give and that's more than some will know. Some will know. Time catches up like a dog on the scent. Running out of steps with the future closing in. We always had each other now this is what we're left. Wanting something more than we'll ever hope to get. We can't make sense of it if we never stop to look.

Snowblind 04:00
It seems to be in your face. Directions laid out for your way. You got me snowblind. You left me on the sidelines. You got me snowblind. you set me in your skyline. Now there's a hole where there was once a heart. It's such a cliche when it's true. Nothing to lose but ourselves. Nothing to prove to the world. The art of the steal is that it's too quick to feel. You never made time to look behind. So take it away before it's taken too real. It was never yours and it was never mine. It was just left of right. You got me snowblind. You left me on the sidelines. You got me snowblind. you set me in your skyline. Now there's a hole where there was once a heart. It's such a cliche when it's true.

An Echo 04:55
It was early days then, in the early days. It hit like waves then. Tidal waves. When every song shared a truth that came too close to his too soon. Now they fade like an echo. A distant sound channeling memories. Now they fade like an echo. Rebound Your pinned to the ground. There were no words to say then. No spirits to raise. It hurts to pray when the prayers don't change you. Now they fade like an echo. A distant sound channeling memories. Now she fades like an echo. Rebound Your pinned to the ground. wait. wait. wait. Rebound like an echo. Like a ricochet that circled his way. He was floored for a spell. you could tell until he could tell no more. He shut her away to count through the days. He cracked like a shell when he fell. Now he fools no more. Now he's fooled no more.

Looking back on the trail leading up to here. pieces I've lost on the move without moving near. It's been a long way and there's many miles to go. If there's a right way do I have a right to know? Cruel dreams, I could lose it all on you Cruel dreams, I could lose it all on you And I would regret it. I would regret it. I would regret it. I would regret it. You sold me down the river.

about

Collecting 10 brand new, original songs, Small Victories is the culmination of nearly two years work. The mandate was simply to create the best of something, gathering all of the flotsam encountered during this time and repurposing it all into a vessel, seaworthy and true.
Personal, lyrical, topical, and honest, Small Victories documents all the battles, loss and triumphs that got Jon to here. The journey was his, now make the arrival yours.
