SLEEVE NOTES:
"I bought a white chocolate tea in the park on my lunchbreak. I bought a painting off the street of a haunted lake. I tried hard to make my world an exciting place. But I keep hjearing talk of doom, and they're sending the meek home. And that's not half as bad as the shadow that's caught in the hollow of your cheekbone."

"The Child Ballads would like to thank: Judah Bauer, Steve Killey, Milan Macalevey, Jess McIntosh, James Oldham and Matt from The Magic Shop"
