i'm not here
drowned out by the ringing
i'm not here
i wandered out singing

in the cool calm dawn
your hand reaches out to find some comfort
but i'll have gone

i wanted to love you

i'm not here
drowned out by the braying
i'm not here
i wandered out praying

in some gory shower scene
cutthroat compulsions take hold of me
i won't come clean

i wanted to love you

and when the rain hits this town
the bloated worms on the ground
poison words from your mouth
tear my castles down

I'm Not Here



I’m afraid you’re getting worse, they swore that they found a cure
Oh but nothing is sure I’m sure I wish I had faith
I killed a bug today,  just crushed up its’ small life
When the crunch felt just right I might be dying inside
But I’m glad I got to know you in this moment
I got to see the glass before it was broken			  
I’m afraid you’re getting weak, I hate how your voice sounds
I hate how I hate now I fake and I take and I break now
But I’m glad I got to know in this moment
I got to see the glass before it was broken
Free me of all my obsessions, I don’t want to be a slave to possessions anymore
See it’s so amazing that a single cell could come to be singing from a soul
A soul, a soul
I'll smile for everyday with you 
For every word that drew a thought from your mind and out your mouth
I’ll smile because we got to be together in this place and space alive

In This Moment 11.13

Frost covered mornings, shivering side by side
We used to go walking, no color here but the sky
Soft waves Ohio evenings, my blood remembers more than my mind
Warm late light waiting, wish I could be there one more time
I’m afraid of losing my life, One frail memory at a time
Joy laughter and calm rain, all dressed up  we felt so grown
Joy laughing at lightning, trust in me you’d love this storm
I’m afraid of losing my life, one frail memory at a time
Please let me just see every time my face went  
Red from embarrassment or from excitement, 
From a first kiss or from exhaustion,
Wish I could wake again in all my old beds, 				           
All those long nights spent on a screened in 
porch with the core four, wish I could have more,					
I’d want to same friends, I’d paint the same scenes,
I’d break the bone again, I’d go through all the pain, 
the guilt, the shame, the joy, the rage
I want it again

Life Song

What a shame, I can’t find a shred of good in this
Color comes to the leaves when they're dying
Color comes to my cheeks when I’m crying
Since fall reminds me of her	
         Fall reminds me of her 
 And I lose myself in newspaper ink
Covering the bed a friend shared with me
When we were high 
All the time
Oh you know I don’t believe in ghosts
but if it were so you know you’d show a straight-backed warrior 

We Were High

Walls Crack

At a Time (Losing My Life)

In This Moment

my feelings have run away with me
fogged up my thoughts so I can't see
don't know why I bother at all
must be the rush when I fold
promises I made when the night began
pushed from my head when you touched my hand

don't want to think about the morning
caught up in the moment I lose my footing

swore I would take it slow this time
act like a lady in my mother's eyes

but then some pretty things were said
and I went reeling heel over head

taken out at the knees, I'm taken under
you track the scent on my skin, you are the hunter
impulse commands my decisions
bends my body, moves my positions
some have said that I'm a sinner
a wild child, a tease, the devil's in her
