Fathoms off
and far away,
I'll keep the fire at bay.

I will steer them
wide and clear,
into those waves of flames
I'll say-

I'll drop
the pope himself, 
with a hook from my left,
and drag him with me to Hell
if he
couldn't keep
his holy hands to himself.

It's only you and me.

In My Pocket

Fawn & Fowl

Weakness Won Out

Herding Cats (Preview)

As sharp as I might feel
my best judgement got me here.
It's not even death I fear,
but who
when I do
will be here?

Am I M.I.A.?
Am I M.I.A.?
How long have I been this way?
Am I still M.I.A.?

I've rambled
and scrambled,
for to flee my pain inside.
I'm lookin' forward to
the End; Ascension, too.
No one ever said The Ride
would get this wild.

Am I M.I.A.?
Am I M.I.A.?
How long have I been away?
Am I still M.I.A.?

Can't You See

Carson City Outlaw

Baby Girl

Well, I guess I wanna know
Gotta see this other side
where apparently
There lies a lot of virtue in runnin'
Off on someone on your side.

So I replace your comfort with whiskey
And every trace of your perfume with powder.
And I invite
in the night
that never ends.
And we're damn good friends.

These strange shadows
though, I know-
Made me a promise
I know ain't a lie.
They tell me
they will never leave here-
this empty
void right by my side.

So I replace your comfort with whiskey
And every trace of your perfume with powder.
And I invite
in the night
that never ends.
And we're damn good friends.

I Invite The Night

The Only Hell My Mama Ever Raised

Drinking Problem

We're Going To Be Friends

Welcome to my SoundCloud, which is doing great work saving trees from being killed, as this pile of notebooks full of ideas is starting to get a bit obscene.

When it comes to making music, there are few but somewhat strict principles I adhere to. My goal as a musician is self-expression through minimalism and an aggressive counter-strike against progressive and nontraditional styles of music, which I feel have become unpalatable, contrived, dishonest, and competitive.

I have succeeded when my music does not sound polished, forced, regimented, or remotely close to perfect, but my concepts are still being received.

This is what is in my head.
I do not know from where it comes.
When more than words need to be said,
I channel something dumb.
