Still processing my father's loss, and struggling to put fingers to keys of late. But I know that I need to push through this wail and return to the you-n-i-verse eventually.

He'd want it that way.

LYRICS

The Truth about axes
is they smash through the frays
of the eyes and the neighs,
chunk rough trunks in their ways,
but harvest vines and scythed hays
are immune somehow

And then my father died


The thing about truths
is they burst veins with their use
as they bump and they bruise
debase and abuse
while made-up monks gussy down for pastel plaster plays,
giddy-thrup and are amused somehow

As they watch my father die


To axe about things
that make wishes with rings
grains of sooth waxed to wings
whether leather or feather
they weather the soul with
the truths that they bring
sun-drunk lay in their daze 
flippant, mince with loose ways
and flap lips like goosed fools

While my father dies

The Truth About Axes

" I FALL PEACEFULLY ASLEEP TO BEAUTIFUL MUSIC WHILE THE BULLFROGS AND CRICKETS KEEP EVERYONE ELSE AWAKE,  I FIND MUSIC EVERYWHERE"

Thank you for checking 
out my page.  I am a singer/songwriter who first started writing and singing about 3 years ago so I'm still in the early stages of finding my voice and genre.  I mostly do collaborations with other musicians and add my original lyrics and vocals to others music.  I don't use AI for anything and all of my lyrics on all my songs came straight from my imagination or experiences straight to paper. I don't have anything against AI, I believe it can be a useful tool in the music making industry.  I just haven't figured out how it can help me be a better writer and singer without it doing it for me and I have no interest in that. If you have instrumentals you would like to have vocals added to and you like my style just hit me up for a collaboration and maybe I can put something together for you.  I've got close to 300 original lyric and vocals songs on here with several different genres for you to check out.  I hope you enjoy my work!
