AMERICAN WAR
CAGES EP

When Matt Scheuermann isn't playing guitar in the sidekicks, he is making beautiful and heartbreaking songs with his guitar - landing closer to Sam Cooke and Otis Redding than the boring old archetype of a coffeeshop-style singer/songwriter. He released Symptoms earlier this year for free and this 7" offers two sunnier offerings. I love it and can't stop listening to it.

CAGES

Hey there, sweet singer in the tree
Do you see cages around me?
Oh say, young picture on the wall
Can you see cages 'round us all?

'Cause I feel them but I can't see them at all

I bite down, push back, shift control
Sometimes my skin contains my soul
The things that submit to my frame
Will desire that feeling's same

But I feel them but I can't see them at all

SOMETIMES
Far be it from me ever to show you, baby, everything you make me feel
There's too much to say
There's too much to lose

And I was only looking at you
'Cause you recall me of sunshine sometimes
When all my thoughts are bleeding

And maybe you could come up to me, oh, anytime and it would be just fine
There's so much say
So much time to lose

And I was only looking at you
'Cause you recall me of sunshine sometimes
When all my thoughts are bleeding grey
