Gray, this is SO FUCKING DOPE! It sounds finished to me. LOVE the vocals and the bass!!! What else are you hoping to do with it?

UP AGAINST THE WALL
SITS MY OLD GUITAR
PUT THERE FOR A MOMENT 
AS YOU WALKED OUT THE DOOR
DUST ON IT’S SHOULDERS
EVERY STRING OUT OF TUNE
IT’S GOT NO CHANCE AT ALL
UP AGAINST THE WALL

 I DON’T WRITE ANYMORE
OR PLAY OLD SAD SONGS
THE PHONE STOPPED RINGING
AND THE STOVE IS NEVER ON

ONE DIM LIGHT THAT’S NEVER TURNED OFF
THE GRASS SO HIGH
A GIRAFFE COULD GET LOST
I GUESS YOU COULD SAY 
I’VE ALL BUT GIVEN UP
I DON’T EVEN DRINK 
TOO LOW TO FILL A CUP

HOW DOES A MAN 
GET LIKE THIS?
I USED TO MAKE RECORDS
AND RADIO HITS
I GUESS YOU CAN SAY
I’VE ALL BUT GIVEN UP
I DON’T EVEN DRINK
TOO LOW TO FILL A CUP

UP AGAINST THE WALL.aif

Riding home home along the ridge of the western sun
Now the crimson day dissolves and darkness comes
There were people on this land before we were
And they surely will be here when we are gone

Ch 
Ahhhh  aaahhh

When the revolution came, it skipped this town
It's the same old man that tries to keep us down
They came to set us free, whoop-dah-dee
But we won't be going down so easily

Ch

Riding Home

Lyrics:

Once I had this buddy, and his name was Eddie Black
Well, Ed was kinda funny, but never had something I lacked
It seems his life was spangled, always opportune

And how did Eddie get a girl like you?

We took the same courses, and had the same group of buds,
But somehow unseen forces, made him worth more than the studs
I mostly came in later, other times too soon

But how did Eddie get a girl like (you)
How did Eddie get a girl like (you)
How did Eddie get a girl like you?

(Bridge) Oohs

How did Eddie get a girl like (you)
How did Eddie get a girl like you (you)
How did Eddie get a girl like (you)
Eddie taught me something about myself, I get
Upset with the progress of someone else
Eddie taught me something about myself, 
I’m not the type of person to get over well
Eddie got a girl like you

Girl Like You - Thunderous Bangs Live Demo

Lyrics:

All you gathered for me here, want to send me off to get gone
Where each day is like a year, a year whose days are long

Right hand raised is steady, recite all when ready
Palm of hand on book is sweaty, not a decision of choice

Intervention oh they took my cell phone.
Friendly faces all I see. Why?
Only cause I’m acting out of control,
Got ‘em looking after me

I’ve heard things about that place, got to prove that I can think straight
Both feet planted on the ground, guess my mind ain’t always sound

Intervention oh they took my cell phone.
Friendly faces all I see. Why?
Only cause I’m acting out of control,
Got ‘em looking after me

Intervention - Thunderous Bangs Live Demo

Here's v.2.2 of Begin Again in pre-production for my next album.

Begin Again

My body was born 
Into the light
Deep in the dark
Stroke of midnight

A tiny form
All slick and red
Back into life
Among the dead

The world was ugly
The world was mean
People stood above me
Just to be seen

I spoke no word
I made no sound
Just getting up
And getting down

Learning to listen
Learning to speak
Seeing the signs 
Learning to read

The red and blue
The black and white
The lies were honest
The wrongs were right

Both Heaven and Hell
Were hollowed out
An ancient spell
Chanted aloud

I spoke no word
I made no sound
Just getting up
And getting down

Can your hands 
Shape the space between?
Can you stand to
Shake the air you breathe?

I stoke the engines
Shovel the coal
The fiery pistons
Barely controlled 

The water is choppy
The ocean deep
Beneath the surface
No creature creeps

I keep my home here
Above the drowned
Forever missing
Among the found

I speak no word
I make no sound
Just getting up
And getting down

Getting Down Around The House

Getting Down Around The House Nov 23

Light As A Feather - Master V2 DYN

When i was younger
it was the rage
to insulate yourself from age……
and now

I’ve become a lunger
trapped in a cage
encapsulated on the page

Happy hour gummy bears, care
I don't want to think about it


As I've grown older, it's become the rage
to insulate

happy hour gummy bears, care
I don't want to think about it

I don't want to think about......it

Younger

anxious times await us all
I can’t tell if we’ve seen the writing on the wall
I hope that you can get your head
out of your asshole
pause, just take a breath 
take it slow
now

I don’t want to be your momma 

I don’t, I don’t

I Don't (Wanna Be Your Momma)

Not until now
not until then
not until 
We Cum Again 

we come again

Not until then! 

WE come again

Not until Now
Not until Now 
Not until Now

Not Until Now

Heather and Julie 
Drove to a desert oasis 
One they dreamed of in a dream
As they went they sang a song
Of strange and distant places 
Called Nobody Knows What It Means 
But nobody knows what it means
Nobody knows what it means

I know I saw them
As I came hurrying by
Caught up deep in my own thoughts 
They waved and sang
Illuminated words
About what is real and what is not 


And I dreamed a thousand new dreams
Like images shown on a screen 
All amplified, yellows and greens 
At high speed, they flashed through the scenes 
And nobody knows what it means
