Compact Disc (CD) + Digital AlbumEvery time I've put out music in the last 5 years, I've opted to just make handmade CDs, with custom art and text on each one. I'm going to offer em here as a pre-order only thing; I really do love making them, but they take a ton of time. An ode to my old DIY roots!
Each one will be handrawn, or painted, or coloured, or collaged. I'll make you something fun!

about
Glass Eye is related to an old Trace Italian song called Man of the Century. Its basically adaptation of the same main riff, which I thought was too similar to turn into it's own song.
So I just played it. Constantly. Everywhere. And when you work at a music store, that's a problem.
Finally, Mike Plume, a coworker of mine, told me to just write the damn thing already. And so I retreated into the acoustic guitar room while I was on shift and wrote pretty much the whole thing (I think I may have written the intro at home later).

lyrics
Guitar, high life, feels fine
Mistakes are easily forgiven
Wet shoes, cold feet
Shut your mouth and keep on livin
You want to take me out tonight
you never liked my glass
Eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye
Broke down, fed up, divide
Join with the police commission
No spine, hairline
You’re lying through the teeth you’re missing
You want to take me out tonight
you never liked my glass
Eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye
Mistakes are easily forgiven
Wet shoes, cold feet
Shut your mouth and keep on livin
You want to take me out tonight
you never liked my glass
Eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye
Broke down, fed up, divide
Join with the police commission
No spine, hairline
You’re lying through the teeth you’re missing
You want to take me out tonight
you never liked my glass
Eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye
