Eye Of The Beholder 03:57
lyrics

You stupid girl, caved and run when cupid gave you the gun Well go on, open it load it - I feel my heart explode and You feel so tall when you fly - I’ll watch you fall from the sky Tonight, you come to an end - I long for whole again and Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Are your nights now getting colder Does it force you to pull over to the shoulder of the road? In your rear view magic mirror Are things becoming clearer? Will you even shed a tear for the heart you turned to gold? You’re like this two sided knife that’s taken hold of my life It stabbed, it burns and it bleeded - maybe that’s all I needed I struggle just to get loose from this emotional noose We’re cheering here, take your bow - you’re gone, it’s over now and Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Are your nights now getting colder Does it force you to pull over to the shoulder of the road? In your rear view magic mirror Are things becoming clearer? You won’t even shed a tear for the one you turned to gold I want to be free, you’ve got all of me I’ve loved and lost, but it’s worth the cost I want to be free, you’ve got all of me I’ve loved and lost, but it’s worth the cost But it’s worth the cost Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Are your nights now getting colder Does it force you to pull over to the shoulder of the road? In your rear view magic mirror Are things becoming clearer? Will you even shed a tear for the heart you turned to gold?

Just A Man 05:18
lyrics

Well I’m not scared to tell the truth about the day The spark in this flame went away And we’ve tried to stand up high against the waves But rivers caused our dams to break But we’ll be saved, have faith Because our love was always great You unchained, well that’s okay ‘Cause I’d save you from the rain And I’m alone, so far from my home Take me on, ‘cause I’m ready to find you You let me go, now this tide is turning slow But leave the light on at home Well I’m not scared to try and justify that day With “I’m just a man, I’m make mistakes” Hey, if you think this man can’t stand to make a change Tell me, ain’t that kinda strange? Because a man would be there for you baby, wouldn’t he? Until the sun seeks through the shade Everyday, yeah your sky turned grey Well I’d save you from the rain, baby I’ll save you from the rain And I’m alone, so far from my home Take me on, ‘cause I’m ready to find you You let me go, now this tide is turning slow But leave the light on at home And you’ve been hurt and felt the burden Your world, it’s turnin’ but you’ll be fine You need to be stronger to hold on any longer I’m singing your song girl, and wishing you were mine All it takes is time… And I’m alone, so far from my home Take me on, ‘cause I’m ready to find you You let me go, now this tide is turning slow And I’m alone, so far from my home Take me on, ‘cause I’m ready to find you You let me go, now this tide is turning slow But leave the light on at home

This song is for all the Classholes out there… Here we go. Well I’m not into commitment But you seemed to fit in this Babe, if just for a minute, then I hung you out to dry You’re hotter than hell to handle Like the flame of a burning candle You’re this century’s biggest scandle, now you sit and ask why I’m okay with this? Well I can’t believe I made you cry, man, I’m such an asshole Can’t believe I fed you lies, man, I’m such an asshole Talk to me baby, convince me I’m crazy for leaving you behind Well I can’t believe I made you cry Hey, am I feeling outstanding From this hurt that I’m handing? Like I fell without a landing when you flew from the sky A lot of the time I miss you Even if I would love to kiss you Have a habit of forcing issues ‘til they no longer lie Am I okay with this? No! Well I can’t believe I made you cry, man, I’m such an asshole Can’t believe I fed you lies, man, I’m such an asshole Talk to me baby, convince me I’m crazy for leaving you behind Well I can’t believe I made you cry And this lust is fading your trust It ain’t saving our love and I’m waiting Push shove, yeah, retain me if you can I know you can, you know you can You know you can Well I can’t believe I made you cry, man, I’m such an asshole Can’t believe I fed you lies, man, I’m such an asshole Talk to me baby, convince me I’m crazy for leaving you behind Well I can’t believe I made you cry

Welcome bad seed - come on in to the world, going nowhere again You think your looks, your charm, your glow will get you where you wanna go? No! Laziness ain’t worth a damn unless it’s followed up I am this party life, this booze in these joints - followed up by disappointment “You take that halo from off of your head ‘Cause you’re not jesus” – that’s what she said said said And she’s amazing, but she’s fuckin’ crazy ‘Cause I’ll be famous, and she’ll be dead dead dead dead dead Welcome bad seed -stay awhile in the world of bullshit and denial And you just pushed me on the ground, now go and kick me when I’m down, OW! Wait for time to take its toll; you think you’re the rock? Well it’s time to roll Standing ovation, if you would – ‘cause she said that I never could “You take that halo from off of your head ‘Cause you’re not jesus” – that’s what she said said said And she’s amazing, but she’s fuckin’ crazy ‘Cause I’ll be famous, and she’ll be dead dead dead dead dead Hey, listen! “The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed” – Got it? And you take that halo from off of your head Halo… your head…j-j-j-jesus She said – “What did she say?” She said – “Come on, what did she say?” Hold on, I’ll tell you after I rock this solo “You take that halo from off of your head ‘Cause you’re not jesus” – that’s what she said said said And she’s amazing, but she’s fuckin’ crazy ‘Cause I’ll be famous, and she’ll be dead dead dead dead dead

Close The Curtain 03:38
lyrics

Finally, a reason to embrace the change of season Can you see it? The warm sun - it’s in the sky The better weather has come, you’re waving me goodbye Can you feel it? The wind of change surrounds you It’s just me spinning my wheels too much around you I’ve gotta do what it takes to hit the brakes, for gods sakes For gods sakes Cause I’m tired of hurtin’ And you’re sick of flirtin’ with disaster Close the curtain faster You couldn’t close the curtain Well, with the kinda mood that she’s in Looks like the change of season Can you see it? The green grass is growing Hey - are those different results than what our love was showing? Can you feel it? There’s promise in the air now Cause everything’s so much cleaner after tear down And good times are gone, but the memories live on And on, and on, and on, and on, and on Cause I’m tired of hurtin’ And you’re sick of flirtin’ with disaster Close the curtain faster You couldn’t close the curtain any faster Will I be part of your ever after? Am I in the past, or will your life be filled with laughter? If we wrote another chapter, yeah We’re flirtin’ with certain disaster Cause I’m tired of hurtin’ And you’re sick of flirtin’ with disaster Close the curtain faster You couldn’t close the curtain – could ya? I’m tired of hurtin’ And you’re sick of flirtin’ with disaster Close the curtain faster Couldn’t close the curtain Yeah boy

about

“I’d rather record my heart and soul into 5 songs… then do a piss poor job with 10”

While it may never be an inspirational quote worth remembering, those thoughts come from Kyley Styles, a Canadian musician who simply tells it like it is. That’s the way he’s always been, even while a member of Calgary band Satori Life. (RIP 2005-2011). His first group had some success in the local scene and even took home a radio station grant worth $100,000. With that, they would record a 14 song album – a release which spawned two radio singles and a music video. Those learning curves would eventually lead to Kyley’s hunger for a solo project.

After their dismantling in January 2011, Kyley’s musical journey took him to the studio of Crazy Lady Records, where for the next 5 months, Styles and producer Joshua Walsh would begin to create “One Short Of A Six Pack”. The 5 song package will mark the 25 year old’s debut EP release.

“I am a quarter century in and I’ve kinda effed the dog so far. I finally have a product that I will be proud of for a long time. Me and Josh fought for every inch. We left it all on the field. Even if only 100 people hear this in this next 100 years, chances are I would make at least 1 of them cry. Watch out onions, I’m taking over your job of bringing tears to people’s eyes”.

That’s just a little taste of the warped sense of humour that comes from Kyley’s mouth – a product of radio broadcasting and a natural songwriter since birth. Styles has played several instruments his whole life, and adds several different flavours to the EP. Kyley contributes the drums, electric, acoustic, and bass guitars, keyboards, vocals, and a few different other sounds to the 5 song release, which will is available on digital platforms now!
