Running Away

A little song I wrote back in the early 2000s. I like to think of it as an argument between myself and the whole notion of writing music.

LYRICS

So take back the fire you gave us 
You said it was ours to do with whatever we wanted 
But that was a lie 
That was a lie 
That was a lie 

We were young 
We were desperate 
For anything other than what we had 

It was real 
It was permanent 
The answers to everything stemming from you 

You taught us to pose the most arrogant question 
What will it take for you to 
Remember my name? 
Remember my name 
Remember my name 
Remember my name 
Remember my name 
Remember my name 
Remember my name 
Remember my name 

I'm tired 
Of asking you over and over again 
For the strength to be strong with this weakened old heart of mine 

I've tried 
Everything I know to exorcise your ghost 
And it painfully obvious I don't have what it takes 

So back the fire you gave us 
You said it was ours to do with whatever we wanted 
But that was a lie 
That was a lie 
That was a lie

A Fire in the Valley

I wrote the foundation for this song back in the early 2000's for a film I was working on. I liked it so much I polished it up and made it in to a "real" song. Along with Undertow Pt2 it tells the story of a mutinied ship captain's last thoughts.

LYRICS

The sun is out today. What a beautiful day.
The sun is out today. What a beautiful day.
The sun is out today. What a beautiful day.
The sun is out today. What a beautiful day.
The sun is out today. What a beautiful day.
The sun is out today. What a beautiful day.
The sun is out today. What a beautiful day.
The sun is out today. What a beautiful day.

Undertow Pt1

This track is a short story about finding a washed up girl on a beach. There's also some deeper personal stuff going on there and if you buy me a drink someday I'll tell you the whole story :)

LYRICS

On golden beaches 
You ran to me

The shoreline traced your path
Footsteps erode
And I'll swear by anything that I saw your halo

Angel
Angel
Angel

I am your burden
Watch over me

Your wings sustained you
Enough to get to me
I saw you falter and I held you as you fell

Stop now you're bleeding
Your life is ebbing in to the sea
And I can't help but remembering that I am mortal and so is she

I stared over the horizon
Waiting for a sign
The tide crept in and buried us
This water will forever be tainted
With the salt from your blood

How could this happen to you?
You were innocence and grace

Prayer For A Dying Angel

I wrote the foundation for this song back in the early 2000's for a film I was working on. I liked it so much I polished it up and made it in to a "real" song. Along with Undertow Pt1 it tells the story of a mutinied ship captain's last thoughts.

LYRICS

(the sun is coming out again)

And as I stand here on this bridge
I know it's not my place to instruct you
These feelings that are mine to give
Are the cement surrounding my feet
Let the undertow take me all around the bend

Turn around, turn around, turn around and face me
You were so disappointing to know
And I only hope the next time you're the victim of your own betrayal

Tied up at the bow of the boat
Did you have to be so obvious?

(the sun is coming out again)
(the sun is coming out again)
(the sun is coming out again)
(the sun is coming out again)

Dragged under the keel
By the flow of the water
My lungs are filling with fire and anger

(the sun is coming out again)
(the sun is coming out again)
(the sun is coming out again)
(the sun is coming out again)

I see the stars with my eyes
I feel the sun on my skin
And with the wind on my lips
I will curse your name
I will curse your name

(the sun is coming out again)
(the sun is coming out again)
(the sun is coming out again)
(the sun is coming out again)
