Here's a song I wrote and played.

"Bound To Get Burned"

I did not notice
The temperature was rising
I got too focused on
The day to day grind

But now I'm stranded
And the situation's hopeless
Spend all of my days out here 
Just fighting these fires

I can't see through all this smoke
It's filling my lungs and making me choke
And I can't move through all these flames
Down on my knees every which way I turn

I'm bound to burned

You could not hear me
I was screaming over sirens
Stepping over silence
And speaking too soon

Pride and envy
Gasoline for guidance
Dangerous alliance
For a paper moon

I can't see through all this smoke
It's filling my lungs and making me choke
I can't move through all these flames
Down on my knees every which way I turn

I'm bound to burned

This fighting fires with fire
Is taking up all of my air
Learning love don't fight fair
And "ashes to ashes" don't care

This fighting fire with fire
Is taking up all of your time
But you don't seems to mind

I can't see through all this smoke
It's filling my lungs and making me choke
I can't move through all these flames
Down on my knees every which way I turn

I'm bound to burned

Here's a song I wrote and played.

"Once Again"

When the day is done
You've given your best
And the evening sun
Is fading to rest

Will you find your way
Through these dark moments
And back to my arms
Once again

There's no way I could have found
The way you wrap my heart around
Every single word that you say

And now I'm tangled up inside
This life we made can't be untied
Just find your way home once again

When you find true love
You pray that you don't leave 
Behind true love
Or get left behind for some 

Other love
Will she get through this moment
And back to my arms 
Once again

Oh I missed love's invitations
A list of violations
As long as the moon
Still shines

And now I'm tangled up inside
This life we made can't be untied
Just find your way home once again

Here's a song I wrote and played.

TURN

Every day is a decision
To make the most of your position
Can we talk now, will you listen?
What's the point that we been missing?

Cuz I'm helpless and I'm hopeless
Felt this when I wrote this
Tired of running round and hopin
Nobody will notice

I'm open to the notion
The lack of forward motion
Rests squarely on the back
Of this empty and blind devotion

How do we find light in the darkest hour?
How do we find love when we don't know the sound?
How can we find trust when we don't have the power?

Where do we turn when the world starts to burn?
Tell me who do we call when the mountains all fall?

Every day is a decision
To make the most of your position
Can we talk now, will you listen?
What's the point that we been missing?

I know it ain't the world
I know it ain't every man & woman, boy & girl
It's just a handful of can't pull the
Wool over your eyes so they leave ya blinded
Don't need no disguise cuz they
Keep ya grindin

How do we find light in the darkest hour?
How do we find love when we don't know the sound?
How can we find trust when we don't have the power?

Where do we turn when the world starts to burn?
Tell me who do we call when the mountains all fall?

Turn - demo

Hello Souncloudians!  This is a bit of an experiment for me.  I am lucky enough to play & record music with the band Mingo Fishtrap.  That is 99% of my musical life.  But there are lots of songs that get written that don't make it to the Mingo records, and demos of songs and tidbits that do make it, but I like the demo, because they're raw, or funny, or whatever.  So I've decided I'd post some here.  Feel free to download and send other folks here. But I'd appreciate it if you didn't distribute the tunes, cuz I'd like to keep track of how many ears are listening.  
This is also where the songs for songwriting groups I'm in might end up...might be private, cuz they usually aren't ready for prime time. But if you want to listen, drop a line.
