This video was filmed when Josh Taft and I were on tour doing Shibby Pictures film screenings/acoustic sets in the MidWest towards the end of 2014. I was filming all of this random footage. Some of it I told Taft to get in just cause i thought it looked cool. He said maybe we should edit all of this footage into a music video or something. The truth was, I was secretly making a music video and editing it the entire tour. I screened it on the 2nd last night of tour in Knoxville to his complete surprise.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me
If you live inside my songs how can I be so lonely
its four in the morning and i'm on the mountain face
its five in the morning and i am in my place
i suck on burning paper tubes all night and all day
its six in the morning and i'm pretty far away
its seven in the morning and i'm out of cigarettes
i climb down the mountain face on a money burning quest
i find an ancient red wood trunk fifty miles wide
i climb the bark with the rising sun to see what is inside
a stop sign and a spider and a city made of glass
and the spider has a headband and it says that he kicks ass
he says "Taft you need to follow me this is not a game, put your existential loneliness inside a paper plane
climb and climb and climb and climb right up the tallest tree and throw your paper airplanes every direction you can see
be happy and write music and learn how to cook
and when you get back to the city find me on facebook"
so i did what he said and i did what i did, and i never saw a sunrise without coming to a skid
i wish i had my lady and i wish that it was you
but now you're just a ghost again and that will have to do
i'm in another coffee shop and that will have to do
i wish i had more books to read but i guess i have a few

they say when you're on a journey to fill your mind to the brim, the universe around you will bend to your whim
when i first saw that my face burst out into smiles
and the airplanes that i threw all flew for many miles
and the airplanes that i threw all flew for many miles
and the airplanes that i threw all flew for many miles
