In 2011, he brought those characters to life in The Family Tree: The Roots, which was the first installment of a three-part, stand-alone album series based around the Family Tree he created. He recorded alone in the shed behind his mom’s house in Jacksonville, Florida. Radical Face will release the second installment to the series, The Family Tree: The Branches on October 22. Certain instrumentations and melodies that represent a “family member” will reappear in the second album as a continuation of the story or descendent. Just as The Family Tree: The Roots was limited to instruments that would have been accessible during that era of the story, The Family Tree: The Branches will progress in production by including instruments that would have become available in the next era of the story set from 1860-1910. Holy Branches When you were young you'd bite your tongue calm, always did what you were told never ran your mouth lived life on tiptoes only felt peace if by yourself where mistakes don't count there's a hole in your chest from the time that you was born one that don't get filled Cause you've always known you're nothing they want but everybody's bones are just holy branches cast from trees to cut patterns in the world and in time we find some shelter, spill our leaves, and then sleep in the earth and when there we'll belong 'cause the earth don't give a damn if you're lost and now I live alone work in the belly of machines wring my soot black hands and I don't sleep much days don't feel different from the nights with no goals in mind there's a hole in my chest from the time the time I walked away one I fill with sweat 'cause now I know I'm nothing they want but everybody's bones are just holy branches we ride the breeze to cut patterns in the earth and in time we find some shelter, spill our seeds and then wait for our turn but for now we're adrift on the winds of discontent trying to carve our place all in hopes we'll be something they want but I ain't holding my breath trace your fingers down my spine make your home behind my eyes line my skull with harmless lies I'll bide my time until I'm something they want Genre Singer-Songwriter Comment by Shelby Kerbaugh yes 2019-05-03T18:38:06Z Comment by BLACK MIRROR incredible 2016-04-09T17:57:50Z Comment by Ever Onward yesssss this is up now 2016-02-03T01:04:26Z
