She is a cyclone
Destroys everything in sight 
When she’s on a run
You’d better be inside

I hope you don’t get caught up
Within her storm
You’ll feel no one can save you,
You’ll face it all alone

*knock*
She’s back again,
Banging on your door
Bringing with her all of the things
She’s done before

You think you’re better now,
Wisdom comes with time, right?
She’ll shake you down
She’ll make you dead inside

Some call her Edie 
Some call her Anna,
I call her living evil
There’s nothing left to do

She’ll come and go
But you always know
She’s right around the corner

She is a force of nature
She is forever
Never quite leaves you to it
No matter what you say

And when she is done with you
You can’t bear to look
Can’t believe you fell back again
She read you like a book

She’ll break all your mirrors
Make you doubt yourself
She’ll turn you inside out
It will be living hell

You think you’re better now,
Wisdom comes with time, right?
She’ll shake you down
She’ll make you dead inside

Some call her Edie,
Some call her Mia,
I call her living evil
There’s nothing left to do

She’ll come and go
But you always know
She’s right around the corner

She cannot let you,
No matter where you hide
She’ll always be watching for the moment that you’re down to strike

Lyrics below:

Things won't be the same
Let the world curse my name
And down below I'll go,
With a heart as cold as snow
The Big Man's calling me,
Says he's got a plan for me,

But I don't believe it,
No, I don't,
This type of faith,
It makes you choke,
On the very words you spoke,

And I don't believe in empty threats,
Waste of time, and waste of breath,
But I've got nothing left

Old two-lanes fly by in the night,
A blind man walking by the light,
As I'm sleeping at the wheel,
Wake with the cold taste of steel,
The Big Man's calling me,
Says he's got a hot meal and a bed for free

Give me protection,
Hand me death,
Grant salvation,
For sinner's breath,
Forgive my temptation
And I'll fall in line,
Forget the fears,
My crooked mind,

And I don't believe in empty threats,
Waste of time and waste of breath,
But I've got nothing left

Cut my soul on a silver shard,
Gave the butcher my beating heart,
And I sat down by his fire,
A traveler for hire,
The Big Man smiles at me,
Says he's been waiting for me,

I'm walking in a fever dream,
Feeling like I ought to scream,
I'm kneeling at the stone,
He's begging to go home,
But I know the reasons for it all,
If man must rise then I must fall

Empty Threats

Lyrics:
I bet he thought she were perfect
But I saw her down on the streets
And I'll keep her secret for long now,
We've all got to make ends meet

And I caught him down by the river
Acting like he don't belong
But when supply's getting low, he's got to go,
Even in July it can snow,

Ask his wife, she'd say he's a sweetheart,
But I saw him down at the bars
Hiding his ring, pouring the drinks,
He comes home very late at night,

But she ain't doin no knitting,
She finds other ways to spend time
She logs on, she gets off,
Being watched makes her feel alright

I do a lot of watching,
I see things from the side,
And I ain't saying I'm an angel, no,
I just like to walk at night

And when I walked past her,
She didn't give me the eye,
But he tried to rob me,
So I gave him my billfold, but I didn't have a dime

Unsavoury

2011
This is not a great recording, but hey, it's better than nothing, right?

When I first saw you,
I thought to myself, yes, I said to myself
This girl is too good to be true
She could never love you,
But I was wrong,

Cause when you were near me,
When you were near me,
I could feel -

That I would need you,
Need to be with you,
For the rest of my days,
Ain't no other way

And so, I knew right there and then,
Yes, right then and there,
That I had to show you
How I could love you,

Because I could be good or I could be bad,
Anyway you want darling,
But don't make me sad -

Because I need you,
Oh, how I need you,
Oh, darlin', I want you,
But you know that, don't you?

Some come closer,
Yes, move right on closer,
And let me show you what it means to be true,

And this ain't a sad song,
No this, this ain't a sad song,
because I have found you -

Not A Sad Song

2019

Lyrics:I got a one, two three four,
Coming out the door
Got my rhythm shoes on,
Who could ask for more?

Step out in the rain,
Things just aren’t the same now,
Don’t want to run away,
Gonna keep walking ahead now,

And if I didn’t know any better
I’d say I’m doing a little better,
I’m doing a little better now

I got a five, six, seven ways,
To make the demons go away
Put my headphones in,
Don’t need to hear what they say,

And no matter all what,
I can feel myself again,
It’s such a strange thing,
That I had almost forgotten 

It’s like I only realized,
You don’t get to do this twice

Better

just some nonsense i played on piano (ft. chihuahuas)

Lyrics:
You know that when you call my name
If I do chance to hear your voice,
I will be there standing by, you can count on me
I will be there standing by for you

I’m too often in my own head
I don’t like to get out of bed,
But you’ll find me there, you can count on me,
You can find me there for you

What it is, i don’t know the words,
What i see, i cannot describe 

And if you want me there at all,
If you chance to have that thought,
Just call out to me, and I’ll be there,
I’ll be there standing by for you

How It Goes

2020
—

Rainy platform,
Squeaky shoes,
Wait for the outbound,
With my nothing left to lose,

Empty suitcase
Just for the view
I packed my heart ache,
It’ll pay my way through,

And if I seem unsettled I think you know why
And if I seem unscathed you know why,
And if I feel fine, I wonder why

Wheels are chuffing,
Streaks on the window,
Creak of vinyl,
My heart is in my shoes,

Mister Conductor,
I’m going to the end,
Gonna see the big man,
Sort it all with him

Send you a postcard,
From an unknown address
If it’s return to sender
I signed it in duress
