Must Be Dreaming

this is a piece for my series on Virtues, but tempered by the theme of my song "Wings of Faith" which is about how Righteousness is the thing that drives good men to do evil.  it starts with the first half of "Wings of Faith", then explores the question of why it goes wrong. 


[Intro]
In shadows cast by sacred walls
Where light and dark both stand tall

[Verse]
Preachers call the faithful near
Words of love mix with fear
[Verse]
Guided by a faith -- searching for the higher ground
Good intent on the way -- shifting like a passing cloud
[Chorus]
With belief, we lose and find
Right or wrong, in hearts confined
[Verse]
The weight of words and holy vows
Sometimes they blur the lines somehow

[Bridge]
Good intentions pave the way
Yet shadows lurk where light should stay

[Chorus]
With belief, we lose and find
Right or wrong, in hearts confined
For good to do evil things
It's the faith that gives them wings

[Verse]
We measure right in shifting shades
Each path we choose, a game we’ve played
Mistakes are made in earnest peace
Bound by belief, without release
[Pre-Chorus]
Maps of virtue, lines of fate
Yet our visions drift and skate
[Chorus]
With belief, we rise and fall
Build our temples, then watch them fall

[Verse]
Lost in faith, a double-edged sword
Hopes and doubts, spinning chords
In the name of love, battles are waged
Lines that shift, in the sands they're staged

[Bridge]
In pursuit of what we deem is right
We draw lines that spark a futile fight
Bound by visions that sometimes blind
In seeking truth, we leave scars behind
[Verse]
Every heart holds a compass grand
Though they lead to different lands
For every light, there's a shadow cast
Intentions pure, yet they may not last
[Outro]
In this dance of righteous flight
We lose sight of wrong and right

Lyrics:

I wanna be there when you open your eyes
I wanna see it when you finally realize 
I wanna know what put you into your place 
I wanna see it when you love the human race 

I was in and out of body 
Laying in the the ER lobby 
Why my inner thoughts might haunt me 
I’ll never know, I used to think that I was nice

Out of Body

Hidden by Me

Broken Souvenirs is a song about holding onto small mementos from a love that didn’t last—the keepsakes that become fragile reminders of the past. Each broken item carries a piece of a story: a chipped cup, a worn-out note, a faded photo. Though cracked and worn, these souvenirs reflect the memories of a love that’s hard to let go of.

This track speaks to anyone who’s kept little tokens of someone they loved, even after the goodbye. "Broken Souvenirs" reminds us that while love may fade, the memories live on in the most unexpected places, becoming part of who we are.

Broken Souvenirs

I grew up in Upstate New York. One of my favorite childhood memories was being outside at night while it was snowing. The world was quiet, and I could hear the delicate sound of snowflakes as they landed on the ground. It was magical. 

Decades later, I finally got around to writing a song about it. Better late than never, I guess.

Many thanks to Larry Dolamore for the production, lead guitar and keyboards on this track.

Thanks also to Tibby Shine, who made the snowflakes in the cover art.

Verse 1
Drowning in the static, every page the same,
Empty echoes rise, calling my name.
They chase the hollow, the quick, the cheap,
But I live for the grind, the rhythm, the beat.

Chorus
Resonant fury, unheard scream,
I’ll burn in silence, fuel my dream.
Ignored by the world, but here I stand,
With every note, I carve my brand.

Verse 2
Through endless scrolls, where fake gold shines,
Buried under memes and empty lines,
Voices shouting just to make noise,
While art like ours fades in the void.

Chorus
Every note we bleed, a story untold,
In a world that chases the empty and cold.
But we keep the pulse, even when it’s unheard,
Fuelled by the fire in each unheard word.

Verse 3
They’ll click a second, never dig deep,
To find the meaning, the shadows we keep.
But we’re here to rise, under radar lights,
Crafting gems while they scroll through the night.

Chorus
Every note we bleed, a story untold,
In a world that chases the empty and cold.
But we keep the pulse, even when it’s unheard,
Fuelled by the fire in each unheard word.

Outro
So let them pass by, lost in the stream,
We’re carving truth in a hidden dream.

A bunch of song demos created mostly with the dreaded AI assistance which has been a godsend for me - one day I hope actual artists record some of my music - much love and respect 🙏
