Driving Home

We set fire to our minds too often

Lyrics:
Im just waiting til you wake up
So I can ask you if you slept alright
I’m just waiting til you wake up
You got home from your walk late last night

Looking forward to nothing
We set fire to our minds too often

Wide eyed I walk through the city
Wishing I was home and sleeping
Check my phone, now I’m feeling blue
Just what you told me not to do

I think I moved to the city 
A little too quickly

City Walk

A song about being preoccupied

Lyrics:
What do I want coming out of this?
Sometimes I cannot think, I am emotionless
I walk into office parties with my phone away
I try and keep it there but it just doesn’t stay

Maybe the tequila in this Mexican place keeps swimming around my brain
Maybe I shouldn’t be around folks this happy is what I’m saying

My life keeps giving me the signs
But I can’t take hints, and I can’t hide
Because I’m always tired and preoccupied

Fluorescent lights hum to me, my pants are creased
Workpapers fill my head, they give me peace
I wanna leave, but I don’t wanna but alone
I do not trust myself to not pick up the phone

Maybe I should try and socialize around the table clockwise 
Maybe I should focus on one thing at a time

I’m preoccupied

Preoccupied

a cover of one of my favorites by Chris Stapleton.... i just cured my own hangover with this song

Tennessee Whiskey

For all the overthinkers out there

Lyrics:

I was the luckiest man in the world, I played the game and won a girl
Now some days I can’t get out of bed, I’ll take the days that I can get
Make a little money keep up with the pack, but I gotta give it back, gotta get it off my back
Pin me down, tie me up, I don’t care just fuck me up

I ’ve been thinking and thinking, and not really living I’m just hoping I can come around
Swearing over and over going back to the beginning, I am moving down

It’s hard to know where you’re at, you’re in it too deep and you can’t get back
I don’t mind being alone but catching up hurts my bones
The devil I know keeps me afloat, it’s better than taking to the devil I don’t
Yeah, I got trust issues, she stomped my brain and left a bruise

I’ve been thinking and thinking, I think I’m overthinking, I’m hoping I can cut it out
Swearing over and over, I know I’m going nowhere, I am moving down

Overthinking

thoughts from the bottom

Lyrics:

I’m at the bottom of a lake with you and I don’t know how to swim
I promised myself I would not fall in
I guess I shouldn’t be walking wires at night by myself
I have bad balance

It’s getting dark down here, I will think about the sun
Filtered through leaves above our quiet conversation
It’s not so much to think about, I try not to trip on the past
But I chewed through my tongue
And I want you bad

Bottom of a Lake

Seems like I've been pleasing everyone except for me
so if I don't take your call please don't take it personally
I just need some time alone to figure out when it all went wrong
curl up on the couch and wait for better days to come along

Yeah you're angel faced, and I'm a sucker for that
just the way the sunlight hits your form brings me back
to the beat down tennis courts & our back alley blanket forts
jumping through trees, you would sing for me

Won't you come on, you could do better
you could do better if you wanted to
learn to love yourself
learn to trust yourself
learn you might not need me
learn you don't need me at all

Guess what I'm trying to say is you don't need the looks
everything you need's inside your lovely, lovely book
our timing was just bad, I cannot argue with that
just go on and live your life and keep in mind

You could do better.

You Could Do Better
