Songs

Backburner (Mixed)

This song is dedicated to my aunt Patricia Isberg & everyone who has lost someone they love.

Lyrics:
Permanence unfolding with the hum of the machines
The sound of daytime TV as it flickers on the screen
The battle left you wounded, begging for relief
I pray to God you found it, found a little peace

I can hear your voice inside my head
I can still hear the words that you last said
Even though you're gone, I can see you in my mind
But now your pain has gone away
You're surrounded in brightness with no decay
I just wish I could find some way to get a little more time

I can still remember the sunshine you would bring
Always smiling, laughing, giving everything
You will not be forgotten, you live in memory
The echoes of your kindness will be your legacy

I can hear your voice inside my head
I can still hear the words that you last said
Even though you're gone, I can see you in my mind
But now your pain has gone away
You're surrounded in brightness with no decay
I just wish I could find some way to get a little more time

A Little More Time

Added a bunch of harmony, probably too much!

Snow Day

If I ever get out of here
I'm never going back
when i am finally cleared,
i swear i won't forget
if i ever get out, if i ever get out, if i ever get out...

this weight on my shoulders, i am struggling to stand
though i toil incessantly, they've got the upper hand

i've been spending all my time, 
trying to get ahead
i don't wanna waste my life
drowning in the red

this drain on society is leading me to drink
but this is the price i pay for learning how to think
i'm getting deeper as the interest still accrues
this is just modernized indentured servitude

i've been spending all my time, 
trying to get ahead
i don't wanna waste my life
drowning in the red

but this won't hold me back now
i will find a way out
this will not bring me down
i am gonna get out

i'm gonna get out, i'm gonna get out, i'm gonna get out

Drowning in the Red (with Rob Aceto)

I've got a million distrations delaying reactions
at the end of the day,what have i done?
After endless inspection, with little direction
I'm searching for words that just don't come

When I've got the time 
I don't have the strength to use my mind
When I fall asleep 
I'm still feeling like I'm incomplete

I've got a million excuses but that just reduces
my will to sit down and see this through
All of my obligations, steal my concentration
and I've got nothing left to reach into

When I've got the time 
I don't have the strength to use my mind
When I fall asleep, 
I'm still feeling like I'm incomplete

I have been just wandering 
Hours turn to days turn to weeks
Time i have been squandering 
Though i want to change I just repeat
I can do it now if i put the pen to paper and use some ink
I cannot allow another wasted day where i dont think

So when I've got the time, all I've got to do is use my mind
Then when I fall asleep, I'll be feeling like I am complete
