about

"Without a Head" is a meditation on cause and effect. Originating as a bootleg version of John Prine's "Dear Abby," the band took Zach's demo and produced the version you're hearing now.

lyrics

Sometimes I think it would be nice to live without my head.
I think of all the things that maybe I could do instead.
I wouldn’t have to think, or feel, or wonder, or cry.
But without a head you know I think that I might die

Sometimes I think it would be nice to live without my lungs.
I’d smoke a million cigarettes and only burn my tongue.
And nothing on this earth could take my breath away.
Every love song that I write would have one less cliche

Sometimes I think it would be nice to live without my ears.
Block out the noise, my insecurities, and fears.
But the loudest voice of all’s the one inside my head.
So let’s remind ourselves what that first verse said.

Without a head, without a mind,
What other things am I leaving behind?

What do you think?
What do you know?
What if I let my head roll?
