Dissonance ROUGH

Song from 2007 about the end of the world. Featuring my brother Garrett on drums and my cousin Grant on guitar 2.

Babe,
Take a picture, babe.
Look through the filter,
It only takes a second, to capture this moment now.
And babe, oh baby
Shut your eyes,
Sleep beneath the mid Autumn night,
And breath in this whole moment now.
From the many trees casting off remaining leaves,
And waves are crashing far away, from the mother sea,
The tension is building,
The flowers are dancing,
And for a moment we believe.

Take, one last look around.
We had a good run.

Babe,
Did you get the frame, babe?
If not it's ok, it will be alright,
Cause me and you know there's not much time.
And babe, oh baby
Please dont cry.
I'm sure that Time's not ready for you to die,
And Earth will weep by her own grave.
There's destruction in the air,
I can feel it in the sky,
I can sense it in the orchard,
I can smell it in the night.
But there's no stopping this train, now.
I can hear the bombs, they're getting close,
the light is blinding all I know.
Don't fear that your life is done,
Just stay in confident delirium. 
Look out here one comes! Oh!

Take, one last look around.
We had a good run.

Oh, oh, oh.

Take, one last look.

One Last Look

Written after ACL 2011. Some problems with the recording, but featuring background vocals from my friends Blade, Paul, and Joel.

Would you follow me into the storm this time?
I can feel your hands are freezing,
But I know that you are fine.
And I'm sorry that, these cold feet are mine.
But I'll fight if you fight,
Even though there's no time.

Ooo, ooh.

Follow me into the rain this time.
We'll find ourselves a new place,
To put it on the line.
Singin' our tune as the train goes by.
We'll reach into our pockets,
Until they're bone dry.

Cause I'm thankful for this year.
I've made mistakes my dear.
But the leaves on the trees,
Will be the guider of our feet,
Until we find a home.

Follow me into the wind this time.
We'll go looking for our troubles,
Even if they're out of sight.
Drop our burdens all at the tree line.
Then reaching for the stars,
We can shine for all of time.

Cause I'm thankful for this year.
I've made mistakes my dear.
But the leaves on the trees,
Will be the guider of our feet,
Until we find a home. 
Until we find a home.

Sing it once, sing it twice,
Sing it all over the night.
Sing it, oh, oh.
I pray you once, pray it right,
Pray it till it's out of sight,
Pray it, oh, oh.
Cause I'm thankful for this year,
I know I've made mistakes my dear.
But the patches on our sleeves,
Is enough warmth for me,
Until we find a home.

Sing it once, sing it twice,
Sing it all over the night.
Sing it, oh, oh.
Pray you once, pray it right,
Pray it till its out of sight.
Pray it, oh, oh.

Until We Find A Home

Fun times with Garage Band.



My heart, it wars against me.
Coming threatening, to crumble beneath me.
And my bones, so suddenly cold,
Willing to do what they're told, but wishing nothing more.
Nothing more.

Yet I know that you are there,
Soft as a pillow, fierce as a bear.
I can see that you've been walking all around.
And I guess I'll listen closely,
Cause I can't hear over my own heartbeat.
Im just looking for a place to put this crown.

My eyes, dark as a clouded night,
Always wondering, looking for their next delight.
And my mind, so careful in your design,
Seeking revenge against it self until it dies.

But I know that you are there,
Soft as a pillow, fierce as a bear.
Cause I can see that you've been walking all around.
And I guess I'll listen closely,
Cause I cant hear over my own heartbeat.
I'm just looking for a place to put this crown.

I guess I feel,
Like a man who has lost his way.
Like a man that found something great,
Then decided not to stay.
And I lay,
Well, distracted in every way.
Looking for my getaway,
But seeing no outbound trains.

But I know that you are there,
Soft as a pillow, fierce as a bear.
I can see that you've been walking all around.
And I guess I'll listen closely,
Cause I can't hear over my own heartbeat.
Im just looking for a place to put this crown.
Yeah, Im just looking for the place to put this crown.
