1.	Central Nervous Station 03:50	lyrics	buy track
A cloudy stare it slowly fades from your kingdom there through salty breath if it may collapse in on itself and if I should fall down to the depths into the wild wind you go then slowly fall from your castle high stumbling straight but until the stars collide a kaleidoscope of your dreams spread through the smoke to dwindle down into the wild wind you go I've seen you dancing there a lonely light came through the shades off your window pane from the ghastly graves if they may collapse in on themselves and if I should fall down to the depths into the wild wind you go I've seen you dancing there in the shadows of this house
2.	Collide 02:59	lyrics	buy track
I know it shows but the pain is just a constant confirmation what I've become this fickle flame when the cold of Winter touches you just shiver and I cut quick Honey, I don't wanna lie to you no more I've been moving through these waters shore to shore and I wanna bide my time before you're gone I know it hurts can you see it's just a friendly observation... that I'm not fine Your love is like a hurricane in Summer and I'm waiting through this thunderstorm and I wanna run and hide for my life Honey, I don't wanna lie to you no more I've been moving through these waters shore to shore and I wanna cry sometimes and we both know it's a matter of time
3.	A Warm Glow 03:53	lyrics	buy track
Crimson covered her mouth her things were hand me downs beneath that pattern dress she was a plain kept mess now an after thought when the Winter thaws a ghostly metaphor in my haunted halls Don't you wonder why they leave and let you down... leave you thinking you're a fool to remember... don't you wonder why... don't you wonder why... don't you wonder why they do? Crimson covered her mind then bled into her eyes but nobody ever saw them like that she's velvet black shades now dark cast upon her doubt all her friends are gone, she's so fucked up now Don't you wonder why they leave and let you down... leave you thinking you're a fool to remember... don't you wonder why... don't you wonder why... don't you wonder why they do?
4.	Crazy 02:10	lyrics	buy track
When the starlight sinks in oceans where them long black dreams i've had still motion me to come back to form crazy like the morning comes We scatter like blackbirds in Autumn when our arms do seek the end of day where the noise and lights descend crazy like we were back then
5.	Run 05:00	lyrics	buy track
Fire's burning through your eyes now there's ashes in the sand that lead me to the river I never washed away my sins your old town holy notion don't ever let me go I'm playing in your field now I'm running through your endless groves just like we did when we were young when the sirens sung everynight I wanna run so far away somewhere you can't resurrect my name I wanna run into your arms someday you might recognize my love I wanna run away The siren song you sang me still led me to your bed lays there beneath the sheets still but baby it was never meant sweat trickles down your bare skin don't ever let me go we're blessed down by the water still dripping down your body slow just like it did when we were young when the sirens sung everynight I wanna run so far away somewhere you can't resurrect my name I wanna run into your arms someday you might recognize my love I wanna run away

about

© ℗ 2013 Jeremy Squires

In this world there are people who can find inspiration in their darkest hour turning their ugliest moment into a beautiful piece of art or an extraordinary song. Then, there are some who can’t. And, those who can’t call those who can “tortured artists.” However, there are tortured artists, and there’s singer-songwriter Jeremy Squires. Rising above the dubious and clichéd distinction, Squires conveys a true emotion that never sounds contrived or feels forced. His new EP, Central Nervous Station is a perfect example of his raw vulnerability combining haunting melodies with thought-provoking lyrics to shed light on the human condition and his personal struggle with depression.

Self-released in January 2013, Central Nervous Station is the follow-up to Jeremy’s previous albums, A Place to Hide (January 2012) and In the Dark (May 2012). Writing songs to confront his demons, Central Nervous Station is a collection of his intimate thoughts and genuine feelings chronicling his pilgrimage inward toward self-discovery and healing. To also aid his mending, Jeremy played all of the instruments on the EP while recording it at his New Bern, North Carolina home. All of the songs on Central Nervous Station have soothing warmth and glow lying just below their melancholic and troubled surface. The loneliness is palpable in the title track, “Central Nervous Station,” while “A Warm Glow” is fraught with the turmoil and anxiety of mental illness which can be heard in the steely, short guitar throughout the song. And, the confusion of yearning and fear to be loved, or of love in general, weighs heavy in Jeremy’s pensive and anguished voice in “Run.”

Though Central Nervous Station sounds depressive, there is something calming and medicinal in Jeremy’s introspective lyrics and emotional voice. A group of songs so human, so pure, and so private, we feel like we’re listening to his personal journal being sung aloud. The real beauty of Central Nervous Station lies in Jeremy’s ability to communicate his vulnerability and connect with us on a basic human level. So, with no barriers to separate us from the deepest, darkest part of his soul, it’s comforting to know that Jeremy is open and honest enough to let us in to share firsthand in his sickness and struggle.”

"Jeremy Squire's new EP, Central Nervous Station, is simply haunting. Its despondent semblance is one that easily engages in a way where you not only hear the songs he's written but you can feel them as well. Brimming with honest emotion, this is an album that requires time well spent to fully appreciate - but is very much worth it." – Kyle Black, Yankee Calling

"I’ve been meaning to write about this stunning, beautifully haunting and melancholic EP for a long while. North Carolina singer-songwriter Jeremy Squires is extremely talented and he has created a marvellous little record Central Nervous Station. There’s something here that reminds me of Richard Buckner’s Devotion & Doubt album. Maybe this just hits that same melancholic part of my heart." – One Chord To Another

"North Carolina singer-songwriter Jeremy Squires let’s the back-country bleed through on his latest record of campfire-ready acoustic tunes, ‘Central Nervous Station.’
Squires’ voice is honest in such a way that you imagine his melodic intone and his speaking voice not differing at all — like his conversational cadence carries the same longing and gloom as the spacious queries he makes on ‘Central Nervous Station." – Andrew Poitras, Diffuser.fm

" — a man with this amount of talent should be heard the world over. Squires’s emotional, Southern vocals combined with simple, heartfelt lyrics and thoughtful acoustic arrangements has made his new EP, Central Nervous Station, a revelation to a tired set of ears. A collection of dimly lit lamentations, this EP casts a blue light that sets a depressed atmosphere with weeping steel guitars and intricate fingerpicking all the while comforting the soul with the knowledge that someone else has felt the same heartache. Personally, this is the kind of music that inspires me to continue writing. It’s melancholy melodies like this that warm my body from the inside out with their themes of yearning, sadness, and heartbreak." – April - Common Folk Music

"Jeremy Squires’ authentic and earnest recordings are instantly appealing. There’s not a lot of glamour or glitz in his songs, which are often recorded as lo-fi. It’s plaintive folk with the bite of the eastern shore behind it." – The Dadada

“The start is slow and tranquil. The guitar use is fantastic. The vocals are amazing on this track. I can foresee this being used
for many commercials, especially those in peaceful ceilings. The tempo is awesome and this song is so tranquil and peaceful.
The sky is the limit on this masterpiece.” -- Reverbnation, Jeremy Squires - A Warm Glow

"We are treated to yet another collection of songs that shares Jeremy’s feelings in the special way he has with words and how he can express his emotions with his guitar in such a tender way. How he continues to keep his music so modest is a sign of the talent that this artist possesses." – My Random Jukebox
