                                               This Man Built A Dungeon
                                  words and music by Jon Colton and Whitney Wade


She runs rampant through my bones 
And out of every pore
Impossible to capture
I need her more and more
I know this man
So torn apart
Went and built and dungeon in his heart
Now send her to me

Some thoughts are almost criminal
The stench of her perfume
Skeletons from closets
He dragged them down there too
And while they’re free
To move about
They’re manacled and screaming to get out
Now send her to me

Complicated, she’s so complicated
She was overrated
Now she’s complicated

A little place
To call your own
Where heavy thoughts will turn to skin and bone
Now send her to me

This is a space for various rough songs, "Phineas and Ferb" demos, and other oddities that I feel like throwing in there for fun. Feedback is welcome!
