One collective location for all my tracks.  This list will update as I complete songs, with each of the songs on the playlist added in the order recorded...as you listen, you'll hear me unwind, my recording engineering skills devolving from today, going back nearly two decades to when I recorded the first song in the list, using Cakewalk and a computer microphone wayyyyy back in 2004.

Harder

One
Verse 1:
If you and I were one, if you and I were one
I would truly be, grateful for your love
If you and I were two, if you and I were two
I would spend my life, searching for you

Chorus:
If you and I were one, you know I’d love you baby
If you and I were two, you know it would drive me crazy

Verse 2:
If you and I were one, I would feel these scars
So heavy on my heart, slowly fade and go away
If you and I were two, I would feel these scars
So heavy on my heart, so heavy on my heart

Chorus

Verse 3:
If you and I were one, I would feel no pain
I’d dance with you at night until the sun comes up again
If you and I were two, I would watch the moon
And dream to dance with you, and dream to dance with you

Chorus

Bed Of Stone 
Verse 1 
I worked my hands down to the bone, callous, hard, and the skin is gone. 
Sun blisters on my back, scars like a roadmap 
 
Chorus 
But I’m free - Lord don’t you let me go. 
And I sleep - I’m sleeping on a bed of stone. 
 
Verse 2 
Seek and you’ll find in me, just dust and broken dreams 
I live like a vagabond, but I’ve made this earth my home. 
 
Chorus 
And I see - I see so clearly now. 
And I sleep - I’m sleeping on a bed of stone 
 
Verse 2 
The Earth gives me all I need, food, shelter, and the air I breathe. 
I broke away from the plastic cross, unshackled from society. 
 
Chorus 
Yes, I’m free - Lord don’t you let me go. 
And I sleep - I’m sleeping on a bed of stone. 

Verse 3 – Bass Only | Repeat Verse 1 
The lines carved out on my skin; my story is found in them. 
A history of broken man, who learned to live within 
I worked my hands down to the bone, callous, hard, and the skin is gone. 
Sun blisters on my back, scars like a roadmap 

Chorus 
But I see - I see so clearly now. 
And I sleep - I’m sleeping on a bed of stone. 
And I’m free - Lord you can let me go. 
And I’ll sleep – forever on a bed of stone.

Bed Of Stone

This is the first song I ever wrote that I remember..from back in 1994.

Water

Verse 1
Time passes by as slowly as winter today
Too much on my mind and I can’t seem to find my way

Pre-Chorus
It’s never any fun
When you’re the only one

Chorus
You’d kill me if you could but I’m too young to die
You see right through me so I can’t run and hide
Step on a crack and I’m fading away
Okay, ooh, water

Verse 2
Prismed eyes shatter and my nerves are paralyzed with fear
Deep inside my head something snaps and then nothing’s there

Pre-Chorus
I can’t escape this pain
It’s with me every day

Chorus
You’d kill me if you could but I’m too young to die
You see right through me so I can’t run and hide.
Step on a crack and I’m fading away
Okay, ooh, water

Bridge

Verse 3
Time passes by and I spread like ash in the wind
Still life simplified and I find a way to deal with it.

Pre-Chorus
I try to wash away the pain
I’ll never be the same

Chorus
You’d kill me if you could but I’m too young to die
You see right through me so I can’t run and hide
Step on a crack and I’m fading away
Okay, ooh, water

Water

Storm Comin’

Verse 1
Under the night
Behind the calm
Whispers break the silence
To come undone
And the winds begin to swirl
The stars all disappear 
The air is thicker now with something 
A storm is coming

Verse 2
There go the lights
There goes the calm
Children in the corner 
All come undone
And the winds begin to howl
The walls begin to shake
The dreams so fragile shatter
A storm is coming

Chorus
And you are not alone my child 
I can hold you for a while 
We may never heal the damage is done 
Oh, despite the scars we build a life

Bridge/as Rap Section
Every relationship that I ever had 
Has always ended bad
And I wonder if it’s me
Literally sabotaging everything 
breathing in anxiety
Overcome with jealousy, 
it’s deep inside of me,  
the best of me. the best I had
I throw it all away, 
I run away, 
a human hand grenade
Will I ever be enough, what it did to me, losing everything 
Alone, the only way I know to be 
I pull the pin and wait in pain  
There’s no serenity 
surround myself with violence
All the yelling and the screaming 
Just a dreamer always dreaming 
it seems that everyone has their demons
Am I Selfish to the bone
Or just accustomed to the tone
Of all this ringing in my ears from when my broken home exploded
I was Misled and misused, I got used to the abuse 
But can I rise up from my station 
From the way that I was raised
This storm a beast, Can I face it
running away I can’t erase it 
Am I strong enough to change it

Verse 3
And when it’s passed
The trail it leaves
All this devastation 
All fallen trees
And the winds still bring a chill
The latchkey victims quake
The stars all burn out 
Nothing escapes
Something is coming 

Chorus
And you are not alone my child 
I can hold you for a while 
We may never heal the damage is done 
Oh, despite the scars we build a life

Crashing Sea

Lullabies at night
Mother shuts the light
Still afraid of the dark
In the violet glow of the machinery
Do you still dream in this sleep

All the things that you can’t see
Still terrifying me

We lean into illusion
But the fear grows anyway

It’s like a crashing sea
Waves coming down on me
I am crushed beneath the weight
Its like a crashing sea
And I can barely breathe
Beneath the surface, is there no escape

Mother cries at night
Stays by her side
All is lost to the dark
All these memories
All you’ll ever be
With us now that your gone

All the things you’ll never see
Your dreams written down for me

There’s songbird in the morning
As the darkness fades away

It’s like a crashing sea
Waves coming down on me
I am crushed beneath the weight
Its like a crashing sea
And I can barely breathe
Beneath the surface, is there no escape

And I’m hold out for love
And I’m hanging on for you
Is there nothing I can do

Crashing Sea (Renegade - Jeremy On Vocals)

Pushing Me


Verse 1:
Your words are like knives, I’m bleeding out
And you’re punishing me with no remorse
All these years on my back to tear me down
Self-righteous, narcissistic, insecure

Chorus:
Stop pushing Me
Pushing me
Why is everybody always pushing me

Verse 2:
And I don’t know what else to do
To clench my fist or put a hole in you
Should I rise above or take you down and put you six feet in the ground

Chorus:
Stop pushing Me
Pushing me
Why is everybody always pushing me

Bridge
You think you’re tough
I’ve had enough
You think you’re tough
I stand my ground
You think you’re tough
I’ll fuck you up
You think you’re tough
Who’s running now

Done running 
Start running
Keep running
Keep running

Pushing Me

It Was Always You
Daughter:  dm, bfm, fM, cM

Verse 1 – finger picked first half, adding in strumming second half for the build
Yeah, I’d have done anything, I did everything for you
But I was lost in a dream, I just couldn’t see the truth 
Emotions are hell, I’d throw a ball in your honor, just to dance with you tonight
But you wouldn’t show, and if I knew insecurity, would I choose to believe it
To see how far we’ve fallen, I just couldn’t let you go

Pre-Chorus: bfM, fM (perhaps strings or harmonica, swelling in the space between verse and chorus - electric kicks in – power chords – kick it up even more
All I needed was you
All I ever wanted was you

Chorus: C, bfM, fM
You’ll always be the one. 
It was always you
You’ll always be the one. 

Verse 2
You stood there dancing, in the doorway, just before dawn 
And your sun was rising, inside I was dying, just trying to hang on
Along for the ride, and you needed more, than I could ever offer, I tried harder to control, been a long time coming, and years before I’d see, that the only thing in the way was me

Pre-Chorus: bfM, fM
All I needed was you
All I ever wanted was you

Chorus: C, bfM, fM
You’ll always be the one. 
It was always you
You’ll always be the one. 

Bridge: A, bf, F, C,
The skies have darkened, as grey as I feel, I see brighter days coming, maybe just not for me
Take it for what it was, and know that you were loved
I’ll take it for what I know, I just wasn’t enough
SOLO?




Verse 3
I replay you in my mind, from the moment, that we met
Alone on a park bench, by the river, where you sat
And here I sit now, the image etched in my brain, from your first smile, until you walked away
I know life goes on, believe me I’ve tried, still getting burned by this fire inside.


Pre-Chorus: bfM, fM
All I needed was you
All I ever wanted was you

Chorus: C, bfM, fM
You’ll always be the one. 
It was always you
You’ll always be the one.

It Was Always You

Depression

Verse 1: F#/A > E/A > D/A > C#/A
Numb, how I feel?  So lost within this fog.  Withdrawn, too hard to cope
And time, eats away, at my brain, till I’m just a hollow shell

Pre-Chorus: B > A > G
This weight, this burden I protect
All the voices in my mind, driving me toward suicide

Chorus: B > A > G
Depression – this pressure
Depression – Depression

Verse 2
Alone, my fatigue?  When the color in my eyes, gives way to my disguise
These lies, I tell myself, are losing their effect, consumed by my regrets
                                                                                                                                                                                       
Pre-Chorus
This pain, thickens in my veins
This monster in my mind, I’ve nowhere left to hide

Chorus
Depression – this pressure
Depression – Depression

Bridge:  em > BM > CM > GM > F#M (4)
A black cloud is following me, it swallows me whole, invades my sleep, only one way it lets me go
Isolate myself from everything, the only pleasure in my life, comes from getting high, the only way I know to get by
< SOLO: B > A > G >

Verse 3
Goodbye.  All the fear, these whispers telling me, only one way to be free
To see, to escape, quick and painless sounds so nice, hand full of pills to say goodbye

Pre-Chorus
This waste, my mother on my mind
Drowning in a river of tears, so ashamed to leave her here

Chorus x2
Depression – this pressure
Depression – Depression

I’ve got to get me out of here 
It’s time to let me go 
Place this noose around my neck
As all these pills go down my throat 
I just take another drink
And I’m drifting off to sleep
It’s time to say goodbye 
Please just let me die
Please let me go

Take Me

Verse 1:
Take me with you, I’ll leave it all behind
Disposable kingdom, I’ll burn it down tonight
There’s nothing left for me, here, without you in my life
Without, you are my life

Pre-Chorus:
Our souls, forever intertwined
You are the only thing that’s real

Chorus
I’m trapped inside my mind
Drowning in my lies, your shadow draws the line
I don’t have what it takes to say goodbye

Verse 2:
Take me with you, I’ll wait eternity
My paper heart, the holes you’ve ripped in me
I’m lost unto the wind
Forgiveness not forget
Do you ever think of me, am I alone in this illusion

Pre-Chorus
Our souls, continue to unwind
Were you, ever really mine

Chorus
I’m trapped inside my mind
Drowning in my lies, your shadow draws the line
I don’t have what it takes to say goodbye

Take Me

Here With Me 

Verse 1: Guitar - G > em > C > D | Mando – D > C# minor 7th chord 

What can I do, what can I say, we just want to go out and play 

In the park, in the yard, though our hearts are mighty scarred 

I’m just a boy, you’re just a girl, spinning round on the tilt-a-whirl 

Round and round and round we go, where we’ll land no one knows 

 

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 | G > A 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em 

 

Verse 2: G > em > C > D 

What can I do, what can I say, I know nothing stays the same 

Under this moon, under these stars, long as we can, and just as far 

I’m just a girl, you’re just a boy, hand in hand, hang on to the joy 

Day by day, the years go by, all this time just to say goodbye. 

 

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Instrumental Bridge: (Stays on G chord framing) G > B > C > B > am (repeat 4x w/ swelling melodic harmonies heavy in reverb) 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em 

 

Verse 3: G > em > C > D 

What did Dad do, what did Mom say, stay young, be kind, choose love, go play 

It’s a crazy world and that’s okay, the two of you make it a better place 

The day will come when we’ll be gone, side-by-side we know that you’ll be strong 

Don’t let the time pull you away, best friends, you and I, our family stays 

  

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em
