My Songs

You, Me and the Carbon

I came down that old road today
It haunts my thoughts, and calls my name
Anywhere I roam
I drove till I could barely see
Well it's all for you...you might disagree
But it always felt like home

We should take our time
But could you find your way
And would you know
It was all you wanted...

Fifteen years of bleeding leave a mark you cannot hide
Fifteen more will cauterize the wound
Are you out there searching for a better pound of flesh to bruise?
Cuz we go down, down, down for you

I waited up here all night long
Just to watch your flight, just to hear your song
But only caught the tune
I found the words that you left behind
Full of empty dreams that killed your life
Still wet with morning's dew

And that won't change my mind
But would it change the way that you would know
This was all you needed...

Fifteen years of running took your far away from home
Fifteen more leave not much else to lose
Are you still out looking for the love you know you could never find?
Cuz we go down, down, down for you

I'll give it one more day
I won't give up, no
I would scream your name out loud
Cuz the search is already done
Was it all you wanted
Was it all that you needed too?
Cuz it's all I've got

Fifteen years of fighting leave you bloodied and alone
Fifteen more were hardly yours to choose
So if you're finally tired of picking love up off the floor
It's okay, yeah, it's okay
Cuz we go down, down, down
Cuz we go down, down, down
We go down, down, down...for you

Bride of June

I saw you again, hiding behind your small window
Watching the people that rush on by
I know that you're scared of letting them into your bedroom
That maybe their sickness will spread to you
Well, I promise you…it already has


It was over the minute you saw them, their faces enraptured your heart
Now the cancer…is spreading all over, it rushes like fire through your veins
But let's just pretend again


You know, windows aren't mirrors...they noticed your curious stares
They're hell-bent on finding a way to you
And yes they will love, but only to soften your skin
They'll rape and devour what you offer them
And even what you've tried all this time to hide


They will have you; they'll crash all your borders,
And sing you sweet words till you let them inside you
They'll leave you the widow, before ever taking a bride
So let's just pretend a bit more


There's no time, step away from the window, the splinters will cut inside
The sound of glass breaking leaves an open, fatal wound


Oh, how it bleeds...
The knife in your side is the promise that you'd never be all alone
The gun is a love song, the bullet that shattered your window
They'll leave you for dead
With a hole in your head
So let's not pretend anymore...

Lyrics: 

The cars on the street are covered in snow
The world woke up white 
& we got no where to go
So we fill our coffee cups with another round
& watch the quiet streets out side as flakes fall to the ground

& we smile to each other, as the record spins around, Merry Christmas

We put our jackets on & go for a walk
the neighbors are building a snowman just down the block
& people share our smiles 
as they can relate
we’re forced to accept the things that we cannot change

So we smile to each other & say
Merry Christmas

Yeah, they called it Ice Storm 2008
We were stuck on the hill 
& so we sledded all day
Pretended work didn't ever exist
& we laughed at all the 
trouble that we were in
& we watched the bold ones 
try to leave
Like the L& Rover on Lizzie's street
As it ping-ponged off parked cars
Before the driver abandoned 
all his chances at the bottom
& we drank hot whiskey apple cider
& caught the bus down to the theatre 
was the happiest bus load 
of people alive, 
as we white-knuckle laughed 
& prayed aloud we don't die 
& there was this pervasive 
post-war feeling
Like a bomb had dropped 
& folks were reeling
But the damage was snow & ice
& it became the common ground that helped us see eye to eye

As we smiled to each other & said 
Merry Christmas

Blood in My Bones

Slowly…let this feeling linger in the air
Savor…every line and every contour
Your skin, your hair, the sight, the touch
Our shadowed forms eclipse this setting sun

Open up your twilight eyes
Let me memorize their color first
I’ll be tracing lines that you will draw
Across the oceans standing in-between

Fingers…trace the path of every fall and rise
Silence…catch your breath before the moment dies
Your face, your smile, the light, the sound
Our shadows fade into this setting sun

Open up your twilight eyes
Let me hear your song without a word
I’ll be tracing lines that you have drawn
Across the empty spaces in-between
And if I have to let go?
And I am left with only outlines
Then let me dance with your ghost
And I will trace the lines again and again

The touch, the taste, your smile, your face
This haunting memory of watching you just walk away
My heart it screams, “Why don’t I follow”?

But now it’s too late
The day is gone
So with this final sunset...

Open up your twilight eyes
Let me memorize their color first
I’ll be tracing lines that you have drawn
Across the universe that’s in-between
So if you really must go...I will cherish every outline
Just let me dance with your ghost
And I will trace the lines again, and again
And maybe in time...
And maybe in another life...
And maybe these lines...

...will lead me back to you
