Daggers 03:13
lyrics

Your words are daggers and they cut me down to size they get under my skin and then they tear me up inside and i've got nothin left to hide anymore because you spilled my guts all over the floor now ive got, a puddle of apologies pooling at my feet and a mess of broken promises pouring through my teeth well... you took my tongue and the air out of my lungs hung up the phone and left me to die alone "Chorus" you better watch where you point those words those words can do some hurt sticks and stones can brake my bones but words like those will kill me Your words are anchors at the bottom of my heart they drag along the surface and they tear it all apart and i was standing on the raft that i made until you pulled it out from under my legs now ive got, an ocean full of apathy trying to pull me down and a tide of insecurities tossing me around well you took my soul and the only thing i know hung up the phone and left me to die alone "Chorus" well i cant believe my ears you know you've got a lot of nerve to come around here showin your face where it just ain't appreciated dear well do i make myself clear? what did i stutter? i said i don't wanna see you anymore get your bag up off the floor and ima walk you to the door right now "chorus" X2 Copyright 2012 Sam McIntosh Entertainment

Little Black Heart 03:08
lyrics
buy track
You got my little black heart And it's busting at the seems Got me fallin for ya darlin When I buckle at the knees When I think about the things That you told me when you'd hold me When I had a bad day You got my little black heart And it's thawing in your hands Hell I never thought I'd see the day It ever beat again But you brought me back to life When you melted all the ice And you kissed me on the cheek And told me everything was gonna be fine "chorus" I wana thank you but I don't know how Here's the truth, if not for you I might be dead right now. I wana thank you but I don't know where to start So I think I'll start by writing you this song and saying Thank you from the bottom of my little black... My little black heart You got my little black heart On a chain around your neck Beating right beside your own While its resting on your chest You keep it safe and sound Even when I'm not around You always hold it close so that I'm never all alone again. Chorus" I wana thank you but I don't know how Here's the truth, if not for you I might be dead right now. I wana thank you but I don't know where to start So I think I'll start by writing you this song and saying Thank you from the bottom of my little black... My little black heart You got my little black heart In little pieces on the floor When you told me that we couldn't be together anymore If you would be so kind As to leave it all behind I'll be fine without a doubt Its just an organ I can do without Chorus" (alt. end) I wana thank you but I don't know how Here's the truth, if not for you I might be dead right now. I wana thank you but I don't know where to start So I started out by writing you this song and sayin thank you from the bottom of the broken little pieces of my little black heart.

You Can Find Me 03:28
lyrics

on sunny days i lay in bed pull the sheets over my head how i long for gloomy weather instead a little dark, a little grey a little rain would make my day just so that those outside can feel my pain well im not happy anymore i dont smile the way i used to im a recluse now all because if you you can find me when the sun goes down you can find me when the moon comes out you can find me when i come around, come around you can find me when the sun goes down you can find me when the moon comes out you can find me when i come around, come around i lock the door, i toss the key kill the lights so i cant see no my reflection wont be laughin at me another drink, another call i rip the phone chord from the wall not like our conversations mattered at all well im not happy anymore i dont smile the way i used to im a recluse now all because if you you can find me when the sun goes down you can find me when the moon comes out you can find me when i come around, come around you can find me when the sun goes down you can find me when the moon comes out you can find me when i come around, come around now the only time i go outside is if its night because the sunlight is to bright it hurts these tired eyes of mine and it reminds me of the time we'd spend together when i thought we'd last forever but things never seem to go the way i hope and now i stay inside alone you can find me when the sun goes down you can find me when the moon comes out you can find me when i come around, come around you can find me when the sun goes down you can find me when the moon comes out you can find me when i come around, come around

about

One look, you wouldn’t see the pain endured by life's growing up not fitting in amongst his peers, not having any friends, and being a clinical tester for the newest ADHD medication. From one listen, you wouldn’t feel the dark soreness that his songs carry, but rather a catchy song writer with a great outlook on life.

“Buttons”, born Hutton Earl Baird, grew up shuffling from school to school because of life circumstances and found himself unable to connect with kids his age. Awkard and left to a cruel world, Buttons found himself connecting and happy through music. A childhood friend’s death early in his life taught him not to care what others think, but rather what he thinks of himself.

“It’s not instinctive for me to write songs that feel dark or sad, but to write about how I feel because I find it therapeutic. I find my lyrics can be more pessimistic, though from first listen you probably wouldn’t know it. Playing and writing music helps me feel stronger and more intact with myself. It reminds me that I am a person and my feelings are real”, adds Buttons.

Buttons knows he can’t change the world, but you can change yourself. He knows that his music may not connect with every listener, but hopes that every listener it does connect with will draw the strength they need to move forward in life.
