Lyrics: 

I’ve been meaning to
Find something new
To entertain
My lonesome heart

My heads running around
Getting drinks around town
And it’s kept this beating thing
Shut in the dark

Let it out
Let it out right now

Mr Head’s hung low
About other hearts he knows
In the biblical sense
If you know what I mean

Me Heart’s all alone
Locked in a chest at home
And she’s getting real mad
At how he demeans

Let her out
Let her out right now

Mr Head decides
That he’s meant for another kind
Someone more like him
With whom he’ll philosophize

And Ms Heart, likewise
Has run away to find
Another beating heart
With whom she’ll intertwine

She got out
She got out right now

Cool bye!

Mr Head and Ms Heart

You know, that feeling when you are really aware you are fucked up and need to focus on taking care of yourself, but someone really wants to get with you and you’re like, “Why do you act like you want me when I am clearly no where near ready?” Here’s a song for that.

I don’t have time for your bullshit.
I’m dealing with my own.

This song was inspired by an idiot.
He deserves no credit.

Recorded by myself at home when I was 24.
It was 2009.

Ready?

My friend died. So I wrote him and our friends a song after I had a dream about him. He died in 2008 and I didn’t get to go to his funeral or mourn alongside our shared community. I was living in the middle of the woods for a summer with people I didn’t know, and counseling kids who had been through extreme trauma. My heart was broken open. I needed this song to get through.

I hope this soothes you if you’ve known someone who has died. I hope it soothes you if you are caring for someone who has lost someone they love. I hope it soothes you in the isolation you are experiencing. Honestly.

Ps, when I wrote this, I identified as a weird mixture of Christian-Buddhist. These days I don’t attach to specific religions, but I do believe in the mystical unknown and super natural realms beyond reason, though I’m a mostly reasonable person.

Lyrics: 


friends of mine don’t fear
Our friend is hovering near
Friends of mine don’t cry
Patrick’s by our side

He’s on all sides

Friends of mine jump in
The waters cool on your skin
Patrick’s in here too
His eyes a bright shade of blue

He’s on all sides

The waves are Rocky you see
But he swimming in front of me
And if you’re in here too
Hell guide with eyes made of blue

He’s on all sides

If god’s alive in me
And those who die are with the trinity
That he’s alive in me too
No matter what I do

He’s on all sides
He’s on all sides

Lyrics:

Look up in my family tree
See my great great grandpas
They may not look anything like me
But we’re all in this family

I have rainbows running in my veins
My family history’s inside of me
But on the outside I am pale and plain
You can’t see the picture inside the frame

I may be a blur but there’s stories inside
I’m not defined by my shell
If you search deep down you will find
Nations of all types and kinds

I grew up in another land
To them my parents were foreign
I don’t feel like I’m American 
But the passport says I am

How do I explain the person that is me
I am not bound by land or by my skin
I grew inside a colorful family
I am but a leaf in a family tree

I am but a leaf in a family tree

Written and Recorded by me, at my house
In 2008
I was 22

Family Tree

I write journals and songs to help you process your feels. 
I contain multitudes, and so do you.
