Have you ever been made to feel strange Felt like the scapegoat that everyone blamed Sat on a thought just wasting away Questioning things that you've done You know the one time you steered far from course Got you dragging your bags filled with remorse Soaked it all in till no more could absorb Hung up and rung out to dry I've seen the loneliest star in a sky where the moon doesn't shine I been bearing the heaviest heart Wondering if I'd burn out bright I've searched for the love of my life In a world where no love could be found I've been at the top of it all but managed to find my way down I dreamt I was locked in a cage I knew you were there but couldn't see your face I heard your voice so I'd patiently wait Wondering how to wake up Though I knew it was a dream The fear felt so real as I whispered a scream I kicked and I scraped to exit the state But the night  light it took me away, the night life it took me away Have you ever been burdened and strained Felt like the wind was chasing your flame Opportunity past but you missed the train Standing there wondering how Just standing there wondering how
2.
Oh my dear is it happiness that you fear Or the fear of loss every time you got something You can't lose much if you never had nothing Please steer clear got the devil singing in my ear Worry and woe with no place to go We all hang around till we miss the show I guess that's the way it goes when nobody really knows what's next So clap your hands and get a little bit depressed Sweet release mind your Q's and cross your T's Burry your frown without making a sound And show em all your pretty teeth My mistake for granted is the take away The fear of loss every time you got something You can't lose much if you never had nothing
3.
If you lean on me will I let you down Or will we circle in place until we both burn out I'm awake now to waste the day Do I even have the right to say I don't want to be here I don't want to be here anymore We can disappear come on jump the track When you race the train there ain't no coming back Await just to fade away No it isn't a safe place to stay It shouldn't come as no surprise You can't hide be hind those eyes It only takes so long before you start to dissipate
4.
If I didn't know better I'd hang my hat right there If I didn't know better I'd follow you up the stairs Stop saying those sweet things You know I like to hear The horns are blowing louder the bailiff is strolling near Why do I keep drinking Waiting my time on you If I didn't know better But damn it  I do There's a hole in what your saying I can plainly see There's a lover who is waiting But baby your right here with me You might as well be the devil Keeping me out past three You're the one with the apple So baby you can't blame me So why don't you keep drinking Give me one night with you If I didn't know better But damn it I do

Dear God 02:39
Dear god save me dear god save me Been talking to you In hopes that you see Dear god save me Im tired of selling myself Back burning my happy For fortune and wealth Bless me from death Give me good health But I struggle just being myself I struggle believing myself Maybe this is what you had in store For every window that closes You open the door The wings can expand You'll soar ever more Please god save me Dear god save me Been talking to you In hopes that you see Im stuck in a place I'd rather not be Dear god save me See the crown that you wear comes with thorns It's rests on your ears disguises your horns It tears at your soul it wears till it's worn Dear god save me The difference in sinners and saints some are what they are Till they ain't what they ain't The faintest of hearts Weren't made for the game Please god save me

about

Originally intended to be quickly recorded and released as stripped down, acoustic EP, "A Hodgepodge of Modern Furniture and Antiques” quickly turned into much more when production began. Shortly after Sergio’s last EP, “No Heavier Burden” released, he already had a batch of new songs written and demoed out on bedroom phone recordings that were to capture the moment of isolation. However, when the opportunity to record with hometown friend, Kyle Koeing the songs began to evolve more than just an acoustic guitar and vocals.

The production of "A Hodgepodge of Modern Furniture and Antiques” resulted in lively songs, implementing instruments from mandolins, keyboards, harmonicas and layered guitars. While the songs sound much bigger and full, Sergio and Kyle still managed to keep the raw, intimate sound that the songs were originally intended to have.
