I Wish It Was Easy

A song I wrote about a dear friend upon his passing.

Barry Edward Silverman the Third

A recipe for dealing with the onslaught of bad news in the world

Look Inside Yourself

Tells the story of a "sensitive" boy who joins the army to "become a man".

Eddie

When you hold me in your arms no one can do me harm
Yes, that is where I was always meant to be
Since the day we made our vows, I’ve never been in doubt
I’ll be loving you just as long as you’ll love me

Three chords and a lie…I say the words that I think you want to hear
The truth is I would rather be anywhere but here
Like down at the bar, laughing with my friends and making time
I don’t want to see you cry, so I lie

I can still change my tune, I want to be a better man
I think I’ll start going back to church, try therapy again
Find myself some different friends, it’s gonna’ be a brand new day
When I find my way back to your arms, and no more will I stray

Three chords and a lie, I say the words I think you want to hear
The truth is I don’t want to change, I just want a beer 
Down at the bar, where they know my name, and what I like
I don’t want to see you cry, so I lie

Now I think I got it figured out, come on, darling, hold my hand
It’s the whisky that’s been driving me away
In 12 steps I can turn myself around, be reborn and make amends
There’s ain’t nothing I wouldn’t do to make you stay

Three chords and a lie, I say the words I think you want to hear
The truth is I would rather be drinking Everclear
Down at the bar, where I got nothing to justify
I don’t want to see you cry, so I lie
Yeah, I don’t want to see you cry, three chords and a lie

Three Chords and a Lie

Drinking for All the Wrong Reasons

Another drinking song (or "quit drinking" song)

I Guess I Better Quit While I'm Ahead

This Christmas

Just Happy To Be Here

An upbeat song about Genocide. I hope this becomes obsolete soon--sadly, I doubt it will.
