After The Sun Is Gone

Catching a ride on the bus
Strangest people sitting way too close to me
Ride is free, I can’t complain
Air conditioned going where I need to be

Don’t get to decide who’s sitting next to me
Don’t get to decide if they’re gonna talk to me
But I have no doubt I’ll smell them

Scheduled stop on 22nd street
Corner where I wait to see what’s gonna be
Transfer to Speedway Boulevard
Closer to the median where I hold my own

Don’t get to decide who’s sitting next to me
Don’t get to decide if they’re gonna talk to me
But I have no doubt I’ll smell them

Watch I pull a fast one
No one knows more than me

Whole day worth of sun and heat
Take a ride and cool it off ’til I get my fix
Someone always contribute
Some voluntarily and others not so much

Don’t get to decide who’s sitting next to me
Don’t get to decide if they’re gonna talk to me
But I have no doubt I’ll smell them

Watch I pull a fast one
No one knows more than me


No One Knows More Than Me

Call it whatever I want to call it
Individual victory
Caught off guard and brought Into the light
Incremental failure

Act as if I’ve seen it all
Circling my tiny little safety zone

Don’t see what everyone else can see
Avoiding the crystal clear
Anyone else here wondering
If I’m gonna wake up?

Act as if I’ve seen it all
Circling my tiny little safety zone

Twice I’ve tried and twice I’ve failed
Try to visualize what it means to win
Twice I’ve tried, twice I’ve failed
Got to visualize what it means to win

Do what I want
No longer hiding in darkness
Time has come to face the truth
Laughter echoing between my ears
Relief and acceptance

Act as if I’ve seen it all
Circling my tiny little safety zone 


Anyone Else Can See

I write and record my own songs in my home bedroom studio. I play the guitars and bass, do all the singing, and have world class drummers from EZDrummer3 on all these songs. The song lyrics are from my head and heart. I hope to make more music soon so check back every so often👍
