1.	Antithing 03:55	lyrics	buy track
Do not mean anything Stay a true antithing Let it decide Let it decide It means not a lot to me It means more than I admit What’s the use of carrying on? What the use… Like it’s love What’s the use of carrying on? I mean, so what? Who deserts antithing? Who denies of him/herself A simple life A simple love I needs me to draw it out I needs me to put it down Now that it’s in sight and you’re gone Everything seems to be so peaceful When you’re gone… Seems so peaceful When you’re gone… Things get peaceful Well, I’m… What’s the use of carrying on? What the use… It just laughs What’s the use of carrying on? I mean, so what, right? I mean, so what.
2.	When We Are Dead 03:44	lyrics	buy track
I hurt you snapping - I do snap a lot Patience is fragile, but would you guess what? The old are nearly dead And history is in their heads I'm running from someone and I am not me Searching the mall for a safe place to be I hobble to a store The ghost is gone... it slides the door You will sing more importance When you're dead Society is a vision of war My best company is a stain on the floor Mystery remains But only in computer games She's joshing me surely, the mosquito brain Distracted me - I drifted out of the lane Girls, girls love the men And teenage boys just make pretend You will sing more importance When you're dead Can you design the perfect bridge to home? I want to be fired for sex on the job Truth is subjective – ‘Twas her that I loved! The old are nearly dead And history is in their heads ...And they're dead.
3.	I Just Want a Summer of Love 01:56	lyrics	buy track
Everyone cowers before love As everyone trembled before God Let it in your blood Almost alive when pretending A vision pure and never-ending A vision of ourselves I want I want I just want a summer of love I want out I just want a summer of love Survive for love I want I want I just want a summer of love.
4.	Telephone 05:20	lyrics	buy track
I’m looking ‘round I search the ground for pages You’re back in town You disappeared for ages Can I depend On a warm reception? I’ll wait it out No signs of desperation Telephone, It’s you I love Telephone, You screwed things up Telephone, It’s you I love Telephone, You screwed things up My wrist is ticking I slow it all down, waiting I jot a song off By solitude creating But you – You are why I’m here You’re less a person More a social fear Telephone, It’s you I love Telephone, You screwed things up Telephone, It’s you I love Telephone, You screwed things up You will see I can make you wonder You and me – Have we got the thunder? I will not Be resigned to never You will see As I hold your number Telephone, It’s you I love Telephone, I’ve screwed things up Telephone, It’s you I love Telephone, I’ve screwed things up You’re not surrounded Your doubt’s unfounded Maybe You’ll call her up You’re not surrounded Your doubt’s unfounded Maybe You’ll call her up You’re not surrounded Your doubt’s unfounded Maybe I’ll call her up.
5.	What the Hell Do I Know 02:40	lyrics	buy track
We're the same inside us We're a couple liars Where the hell do I go? What the hell do I know? As I stood before you I tried not to bore you But you just couldn't show Your real face And you could long for me But what the hell do I know? We're the same inside us We just want to triumph Where the hell do I go? What the hell do I know? You belong with me And you could long for me But what the hell do I know?
6.	No Name No. 7 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Yeah, you've pushed me so far That I'll no longer take it So I say This, this attitude You should know I've always faked it To your face Patient, strong and calm Isolates the living God Patient, strong and calm Confident life will go on I can't quite make out Which of us is confused We are so far removed And I don't know what to say On my own behalf I am pointing Patient, strong and calm Isolates the living God Patient, strong and calm Confident life will go on You're counting clichés And I'm counting the stars And I can't quite get over You're counting clichés As you're counting the scars That I can't quite get over And I can't quite remember What's in a name? What's in a name that I can't recall? What's in a name? What's in a name that I can't recall? What was your name?
7.	Fear the A-Bomb 05:36	lyrics	buy track
Though everyone has gone extreme It's not as bleak as it may seem Patriotic shopping spree I find ideas or they find me Patriotic killing spree Focus on the enemy Well, I'm afraid that I might be One of them, so don't ask me Pleading Seething Fear the A-bomb Moaning Warning Fear the A-bomb Fear the A-bomb Leave a light on U.S.A. yourself in the brain If all you want is an honored grave You must save yourself from the need We have inherent liberty Oh, yeah... Fear the A-bomb Fear the A-bomb Fear the A-bomb Oh, please... We're not fighting for liberty We're not fighting for you or me Oh, no... The most obvious conspiracy The most obvious conspiracy The most obvious conspiracy Least it's obvious to you and me. Fear the A-bomb Fear the A-bomb Fear the A-bomb Oh, please... We're not fighting for liberty We're not fighting for you or me Oh, no... The most obvious conspiracy The most obvious conspiracy The most obvious conspiracy Least it's obvious to you and me.
8.	A Lesson for Kurt 04:07	lyrics	buy track
Life is a pressure Best faced alive I've heard you'd rather Just stay admired Off you wander Cursing in your fame Infamy will only light your name I want you alive Not distant and idolized You didn't try Write off an excuse For each and every crime Least you bothered To leave a note behind What do you want from me? From my life? Like you'll ever do what I tried I want you alive Not given to suicide You didn't try Hard enough to survive Don't give up until you reach nirvana Don't give up until you reach nirvana What do you want from us, From this life? Just forget us You know you're right And Don't give up until you reach nirvana Don't give up until you reach nirvana.
9.	I Know 04:30	lyrics	buy track
I’m at peace Frozen in mirrorland Too much heat You don’t even understand That I know I know I know That our days go slow And I fear I fear I fear That they’ll leave me alone I’m at peace But you need a master plan If I could Maybe I would dumb it down ‘Cause I know I know I know That our days go slow And I fear I fear I fear That you’ll leave me alone Even though I like this peace and calm Maybe we should ruin it all I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know There should be more than this And I fear I fear I fear That there’s something I’ve missed.
10.	Plutocracy 03:25	lyrics	buy track
Sacrificed in the desert sun Worthy as he pretends to be He whispers, “Nothing’s wrong. Now move along.” Well, I’m sick that you’re shameless I’m sick on the lies I’m sick it came to this I truly despise The president I’m this close to freaking out Or giving in But we’ll stand ground And take you down And live without The fading sunrise Last trickle of life I never elected I truly despise The government At peace at last At peace with fools Guard thy faith America At peace at last At peace as fools I won’t feel peace As long as they’re Draining this earth.
11.	The Clockwork of God 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Order is unlatching from its place This culture will dissolve or be erased You don't remember 'cause you were never But you wanted an in It's time you decide It's time you decide Heave ho and time just rows on and on And rounded, I am less than one I do not figure in his clockwork 'Cause he's not real to me It's all in my mind But what is my mind? There is no design Remember my life La da da La da da Tra lee dee da da da da
12.	The Gift of a Poor Memory 05:10	lyrics	buy track
He's what you're worth to me He's what you're worth to me Him to you is you to me He's what you're worth to me Assured me it was true All my life I prayed to you Assured me it was true Every night I prayed to you All life's untrue Until you see what you can do All life's untrue Until you see what you can do Have you forgotten me? Have you forgotten me? He's with you and I'm with me You and your poor memory All life's untrue Until you do what you can do All life's untrue Until you do what you can do Here's what you're worth to me Shuttered door, unanswered ring Frozen fall to silent spring Shadows next to everything Basically, inspiring My life's untrue Until you know that I love you My life's untrue Until you know that I love you My life's untrue Until you know that I love you My life's untrue Until you feel how I love you.

about

“His healthy, all-pervading pessimism keeps his material charged, and makes At Peace At Last a great album for revisiting the streets you got laid on with headphones plus ten years of attitude…. What you need to do is ask yourself if your record collection could live without the company of a pained drifter who’s warmed up and now wants to talk.” -Coke Machine Glow

“There's an upside to that, to the fabrication of art for art's sake, and it lies in the fact that such works endure and become influential…. All the cuts here are shades of that atmosphere, unified in fetchingly drear habiliment, subliminally sirenic. In that last trait, the storied heroes of old only had to resist external threats; with Peace at Last, the listener inside the listener is the real antagonist, not so easily dealt with but very revealing in contemplation and struggle. There are mirrors here and, before you know it, you're looking into and through them. You'll recognize a lot of the people.”
-The Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange

“This is an artist with more than a touch of class, and though his ambition is a naughty thought indeed – he should, SHOULD, be a disposable pop icon who lasts all of ten seconds – if he really wanted to make it in the music industry today – it is admirable that there are still SOME people willing to sacrifice popularity and success by being real… Who knows? He could save music. He has brass and song enough. We’ll see.” -Subba-Cultcha

Written 2003. Recorded and released 2010 under the name "Grant Valdes." One of my eight high school albums and the first to be released.
