All around things are moving.
In the midst of potential disaster,
Things are utterly fine.

And all around things are bigger,
Than themselves.
Reflective of sun off of water,
Rippled by the wind like a bed sheet.

Tossing and turning like a night's sleep,
It's neither good nor bad,
It just is.
it just is.
Oh an echo in your head (an echo in your head),
It just is.

Did a bird overhead dwell,
On the sound of its own call?
Or just on the answer?

There is no inside without the outside,
But where each one begins or ends,
Doesn't matter to the shoreline.

It only matters where the lake licks the land,
And which sands go back into the water with it.

If it never washes back ashore,
Won't matter to the breeze.
The directionless breeze,
Moving all things around us.
Around us.
Ooh, all around things are moving,
Things are moving.

It Just Is (Not Me)

How could anybody
Wanna trade a tree
For a seed

I can't feel anything 
in my extremities

Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babe
It's hard to breathe
Oh baby, baby, babe, baby, baby, babe
It's hard to see 
any other version of me

[[enjoy very cool musical interlude]]

How could anybody
Wanna trade a tree
For a seed

I can't feel anything 
in my extremities

Baby, baby, babe, baby, baby, baby, babe
It's hard to breathe
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babe
I cannot see 
any other versions of me

Cortisol

I tried all the things I could to quiet all these thoughts
Now I’m sitting here alone surrounded by the shit I’ve bought
I’m sick of saying that I’m fine but I know I'll be in time
The length's a matter of opinion, it’s a sentence for no crime

And why do all the right choices have to kick me on my ass
You know I’m stronger than I look, you don’t even have to ask
I tried all the things I could to quiet all these thoughts
Now I’m sitting here alone surrounded by the shit I’ve bought

No Crime

Blank Walls

I'll walk back and forth to the kitchen
I'll make my bed for a living
I'm haunting here like my own ghost
I'll cheers myself with a big toast

I thought I heard a knock at 
The door but it's just the wind that
I'd asked to move me so many moons ago

I am alone now
But I'm dripping gold now
Oh, I am alone now
But I'm dripping gold now

I seemed to have lost all my theories
I had a stack I was to proof read
Now all my works are just loose leaf
And lying on the floor

And I am alone now
But I'm dripping gold now
Oh, I am alone now
But I'm dripping gold now

And it's just the way I am
To wander into some fantasy land
But I'll accept the situation
If you give me some explanation to why I'm alone now
But I'm dripping gold now
Oh, I am alone now
But I'm dripping gold now
Dripping gold now

My Finest

Lead me to the darkness
I could find the light, oh
I know I’m am falling but
I want to get it right
And how I could I be waiting
For something that is greater
Got me in a lock
I want the hold
You know it’s better
Baby I’m not sure if 
I could get in closer
I think I am learning but I
Need a little closure
Give me something larger
Life is but a living
I could keep on spinning
But I’d rather keep on giving
I’d rather keep on giving

Rather Keep

I see pretty things all day
I think words that I could say
I write poetry in forms
You won’t know until I
Wake up and write it
Wake up and write it
Wake up, I know you’re not here

But when I do call
I fall in deeper
When I do call
I fall in deeper
When I do call
I fall in deeper
with you

When I Do

inside my head
there is a seed
and garden bed
i germinate
under the rain
that i had stayed
outside of for too long
outside of for too long

i grow i grow i grow
i grow inside this rhythm i now know
i know i know i know
i want to grow with you
i grow i grow i grow
i grow inside this rhythm i now know
i know i know i know
i want to grow with you

Germinate

I’ve wandered like a brook inside a forest
I’ve whispered like the wind upon the sea
I’ve worried if I’m smaller than the image that I drew up 
Of the woman that I thought that I should be

I’ve questioned everything that I have known now
I wonder how many times you can change your mind
Is wavering the same as no conviction?
Or am I stronger cause I’ve learned I don’t mind
Being wrong
Somedays I know I'll be wrong
Oh Somedays I know I will be
I just need to know you’ll know I try my best
And it feels right to know
You’ll be wrong with me
It feels right to know you'll be wrong with me

I’ve wandered like a brook inside a forest
I’ve whispered like the wind over the sea
I’ve worried if I’m smaller than the image that I drew up 
As a blueprint of the woman that I thought that I should be

I’ve questioned everything that I have known now
I wonder how many times you can change your mind
Is wavering the same as no conviction?
Or am I stronger cause I’ve learned I don’t mind
Being wrong
Oh Somedays I know I will be
I just need to know you’ll know I try my best
And it feels right to know
You’ll be wrong with me
It feels right to know you'll be wrong with me

Wabi Sabi (Wrong With Me)

It's not any wonder I dream of...

You.
When the sky turns gray
When the sky turns red
At the end of day
When the golden hour pours in my room
It isn't any wonder I dream of you

You.
Put the words
Like water falling
Right at the tip of my tongue
The colors melt
And I am one with the clouds

Twirl and sway
In the breeze I play
I am at the whim of something other than me
Is it you? Is it you? Is it you?
Is it you? Is it you? Is it you?
Is it you? Is it you? Is it you?
Is it you? Is it you? Is it you?

Is It You

The countdown is on
We're running out of time
A voice inside my head
Is keeping me in line
Convenience isn't cheap
Running for a break
Do we always have to give?
Is it okay to take?

Efficiency
You're killing me
Net zero gains when I'm like this
But I'll prove my worth
'till I am sick

The countdown is on
We're running out of days
Learning how to live
A hundred different ways
Wellness is your job
Once you leave your desk
Running up a hill
Life's a fitness test

Efficiency
You're killing me
Net zero gains 
When I'm like this 
But I'll prove my worth 
'till I am

I want to toast all the nothingness with you
I want to toast all the quiet nights with you
I want to toast all the nothingness with you
I want to toast all the quiet nights with you

The countdown is on
We're running out of time
A voice inside my head 
Is keeping me in line
Convenience isn't cheap
Running for a break
Do we always have to give?
Is it okay to take?

Efficiency Trap

i wish that i was the gardener, 
to tend all the beds, 
and put all your worry to rest. 

edging the rows, 
keeping them closed, 
letting them live 
in your margins. 

i can’t uproot all the fears 
that you feel for the future 
but darling the future is bright. 
i’ll be by your side.

I Was The Gardener

I'll take a minute
Try something that I never did
I'll take a minute
Try something that I never did before

Once in a while
You get an idea
In your head
And you can't sleep until it's out

The best idea I ever had
Was waiting for the right time
The best idea I ever had
Was waiting for the right time

Never Did

For Grandpa, Paul Wilcox

Never lose your sense of humor
You get funny by the day
say a prayer that the fish are biting
and country music always plays
Memories like green hills rolling
Past the window of this car
Train tracks go in one direction
But you’re not going very far
cuz Ive made a home for you
With corn fields to the side
Inside my heart you will
Be always on my mind
10 point buck you’re a gold prize winner
With a hug to cure the blues
Every strum I play on this old guitar
Brings my thoughts straight back to you
Subtle twang and eye that twinkles
What a role you leave to fill
And It’s with song that I will try to
Hold your image vivid still
But I’ve made a home for you 
With corn fields to the side
Inside my heart you will
Be always on my mind

Made A Home

Little Curator

I think, I think I’m on the mend
Cause I've been adopting a bend
Oh, in a place that I used to break
Oh, in a place that I used to break

Let me try again

I think, I think I’m on the mend
Cause I've been adopting a bend
Oh, in a place that I used to break
Oh, in a place that I used to break

I see your back
You turn the right
I catch your glance
A welcome sight
I see you from
Across the room
You’re coming towards me
Why don’t we leave 
Soon
Is never soon enough

I think, I think I’m on the mend
Cause I've been adopting a bend
Oh, In a place that I used to break
Yes, in a place that I used to break

Oh, I think I’m on the mend
Cause I've been adopting this bend
In a place that I used to break
Yes, in a place that I used to break

Let me try again.

On The Mend

Keep it in context
It’s not a contest
But I can’t quite keep it in frame

I know I tend to 
Just get excited
But I can’t hold it all in my hand

Trying to be 
Everyone wanted
What if I lose sight of what I am

Trying to be
What somebody thought up
And I can’t quite understand
What I am doing here, oh

Stand, what I'm doing here, oh

What if I tell you
All of my secret 
wishes and all of my dreams
Would believe them
Am I not quite what I seem?
What I seem?

Trying to keep it
All under wraps but
I am afraid I’m letting it out
Lately I’ve been so out of my mind
I know you see it sneaking out

Sneaking Out

Thoughts can keep me up at night
Two hours ago we turned out the lights
Ideas that surround me, continue to hound me 
At night

I can unravel on a dime
You know I do it all the time
But you keep in your pocket
Safe inside a locket
Like a dime


But how you catch me each time I fall
Is quite a miracle is all


I thought life would build around me
Turns out life’s a bit more tricky
But I decided that I would ride it out
With you

Can we be slow for just a minute
I’d like to sit here and live in it
Oh you’ve had quite an impact, I like it yes in fact I do

Unravel

Despite (Feat. Joe Percy)

The snow like
Weighted blankets
Cold as iron or(e)
winter's vacance

I can see you 
When I close my eyes
Like an imprint
When I stare into the light

But I can find any sense of purpose here
So I call out your name, just to hear it echo in my ears

The snow falls,
Like a cold wall
Yeah I'm waiting for
The tickle
Of my seasonal affliction
it comes creeping like an old addiction
When I can't find any sense of purpose here
And I call out just to create some music in my ears

I wish that
I could take this
Frigid heartache
Or switch places
But I write out in first person,
How I think your shoes must be hurting,
And all I have is a senseless poem here
And I sing out just to create some beauty in your ears

Senseless (haunted demo)

Original songs made in my tiny apartment.
