lyrics

Everybody knows it’s a family home
And explicitly they leave well enough alone
So the sharks don’t take a bite

Everybody knows it’s the brain that went to war
And it shows you moving pictures of the tour
From the silence of your room
In the silence of your room

When it was spring
They could talk you into doing anything
Where were those traps you set?
What were those last regrets?

Everybody knows about control
A straight arm stance, a ten foot pole
And the door stays shut all day

Making worse the bad that’s been and done
When the sun went down on everyone
Could you still believe there’s a God?
How could you still believe in God?

When it was spring
They could talk you into doing anything
Where were those traps you set?
What were those last regrets?

about

Jason Moody Chicago, Illinois

"Local musician Jason Moody has been riding the periphery of the Chicago indie scene for years, and I think he deserves a lot more attention than he gets. He's a songwriter who crafts well-structured pop songs, which makes them ripe for covering (check out Daniel Knox's cover of "Halcyon Days"). Moody has a way with melody and hooks. He's also got a lovely voice."
