WHEN IT ALL BURNS DOWN Lyrics:

Staring at the ceiling but in my mind I’m leaving
Counting up the seasons ’til I’m gone 
To Arizona or somewhere warmer
To set my feet out in the sun
Before it all burns down

Everyone may have their vision of sin and holy living
Oh, but I found religion in my lover’s arms
I worked to fill their coffers and I did so prim and proper
Yet they curse my name as Devil’s charm
So let it all burn down. Let it all burn down

They build you up to tear you down
Bury all the pieces underground
But I know the secret, it’s in the sound
When it all burns down. When it all burns down

Staring at the ceiling, but in my mind I’m leaving
Counting up the seasons ’til I’m gone

When It All Burns Down

Before It's Time

We've Been Here Before (A Dream Don't Come Easy)

Someone I'm Not

A song I wrote about seeing your friends in a cycle of suffering they can’t stop.

My friend

Lyrics 

[Verse]
Dark nights the lights so bright
Whispers call me in the night
Promises of joy so near
Masking all the pain and fear

[Verse 2]
Chasing dreams I couldn't keep
Lost myself in pleasures deep
Family's cries just faded sound
Shadows pull me further down

[Chorus]
Sweet ecstasy I held so tight
Made me feel so high so bright
Lost my way couldn't see the fall
Addiction's grip it took it all

[Verse 3]
Once a man with morals true
Now I'm someone I never knew
Turned my back on love and kin
Pleasure's grasp it pulled me in

[Bridge]
Embarrassment I faced the shame
Love so close to slipping away
Near-death brush brought me back
Fighting hard against the knack

[Chorus]
Sweet ecstasy I held so tight
Made me feel so high so bright
Lost my way couldn't see the fall
Addiction's grip it took it all

Lyrics
Baby, let's take a ride tonight

There's fire in the skies

I've got a gassed-up Toyota

You've got secrets in those eyes


We'll drive until the sunlight fades

And the stars say hello

I'll point out names of constellations

That I don't really know


Oh, we're not getting any younger

Oh, so just hold me tonight

1,2,3, take a photograph with me

We ain't got much time

And I don't wanna lose the light

I don't wanna lose the light


I don't need directions babe

Don't matter where we go

Just give me an old and lonely highway

A good song on the radio


They say you don't know what you got

Until it goes away

So let's just memorize this moment

I don't wanna let it fade


Oh, we're not getting any younger

Oh, so just hold me tonight

1,2,3, take a photograph with me

We ain't got much time

And I don't wanna lose the light

I don't wanna lose the light

I don't wanna lose the light


Cause we're not getting any younger

So honey just hold me tonight

1,2,3, take a photograph with me

We ain't got much time

And I don't wanna lose the light

I don't wanna lose the light

I don't wanna lose the light

I don't wanna lose the light

Baby, let's take a ride tonight

There's fire in the skies

I've got a gassed-up Toyota

You've got secrets in those eyes

To Ease The Soul x

Verse 1:
You always start a show
And I fall asleep
You like to hog the bed
While I steal the sheets
The kitchen light is on
But we forgot to eat
It’s alright
It’s alright

We’re always making plans
Then we change our minds
I forget the date
You forget the time
But somehow babe
It all works out fine
It’s alright
It’s alright

Chorus 1:
Cause when it’s all been said and done
Take the doggies on the run
Together we have so much fun
Before the party has begun

Verse 2:
Sitting on the porch
Strumming my guitar
While you paint the house
Splashing on the car
We don’t have a clue
Who the neighbors are
It’s alright
It’s alright

Chorus 1:
Cause when it’s all been said and done
Take the doggies on the run
Together we have so much fun
Before the party has begun

Chorus 2:
Cause you say come and hold me tight
And you say everything’s alright

Verse 3:
You call me on the phone
I don’t answer
I never can remember
The password
You never let me get in
The last word
It’s alright
It’s alright

Chorus 1:
Cause when it’s all been said and done
Take the doggies on the run
Together we have so much fun
Before the party has begun

Chorus 1:
Cause when it’s all been said and done
Take the doggies on the run
Together we have so much fun
Before the party has begun

Chorus 2:
Cause you say come and hold me tight
And you say it just feels so right
And you say it’s a lovely life
And you say everything’s alright

Chorus 1:
Cause when it’s all been said and done
Take the doggies on the run
Together we have so much fun
Before the party has begun

My friend
