Took a spontaneous trip out to Joshua Tree National Park for some soul searching, this track is what I came back with. This song is about trying to understand others, but forgetting to check in with yourself. It's selfless and selfish. Life is about finding balance. 

A little folk song with improvised lyrics. One woman band. The lyrics were the last layer recorded. I sang different versions and this one was the one that stuck. 

~Commitment Tissues~
Take it from me,
I'm always alone.
Please take my hand, 
there's no room to grow.
Oh, why have you left me all alone?
Beggin you please,
take me back home.
I don't need you,
I don't want to, 
but I like you, 
so just run.
Knocking on the doorway, here you are,
looking at the floor, hey--hey stars!
Why the gaze, why the look? 
You're such a crook.
I don't wanna leave you,
but I'm going to,
run away from here, 
running quickly,
running fast.

Commitment Tissues

Love is duplicitous, don't be fooled. 

Snippet of an old poem entitled "Strategic Heartbreak". 
I had fun improvising vocals for this. I hope you enjoy all the twist and turns.

A song about dodging unwanted attention. Sorry it's messy. "Can't change your ways" - not me. Wasn't super happy with the entirety of this track, but there are some parts that I like and hope you'll like too.

Duck, You Goose(!)

I've wanted to cover this song for such a long time. A rhythm finally came to me for the guitar, so I quickly wrote the tabs and put it out into the world. It's definitely a little choppy, but I think that it's the right kind of wrong for this song.
