Heavy Lies The Crown
Local Phonies
Filling our hearts with oil It drips and it coils Through the filtering walls To our fantasy of health That we take to our grave With the secrets we saved And the love that we craved Was not adulation Heavy lies the crown The melody is wrong And I miss the rhythm Oh I just can’t laugh it off The royal treatment is such a drag man get it off me yeah This throne was never mine It was made to keep me on board I'm off my rocker, I miss the rhythm Can't harmonize but I try and sing with em we watch the world pass by every day forced inside by confident mistakes from a nightmare human Heavy lies the crown The melody is wrong And I miss the rhythm Oh I just can’t laugh it off The royal treatment is such a drag man get it off me yeah This throne was never mine It was made to keep me on board Heavy lies the crown The melody is wrong And I miss the rhythm Oh I just can’t laugh it off The royal treatment is such a drag man get it off me yeah This throne was never mine It was made to keep me on board

Everyone has a pandemic album. This one is ours. Home Not [Disc 1] is the first part of a double album that was released initially as 4 EPs. It was designed so that it could be listened to as four EPs, two 10-song LP (posted here), or one double LP and not lose pace or cohesion. It is Conor and I in a state of confinement, yet eclectic and gritty in our writing and production.

The first disc of the double album is equal parts Neil Young’s On the Beach, Danger Mouse and Father John Misty.
