O
yea
Rooftop oasis
emerge in the spaces 'tween every skippin beat
this rooftop heat
...has got me sweatin
sugar lips of pure confection
dippin curves above my hips
lick the sugar from my lips
on this rooftop oasis
yea
on this rooftop oasis warm and still
beneath the night upon this makeshift stage
and strung up candle light
dimming down the starry canopy when you think of me
will you savor me
and I'm driftin off in wispy trails of exhaled hopes and dreams
just to breathe them in again the smolderin and obscene
yea
Rooftop oasis
emerge in the spaces 'tween every skippin beat
this rooftop heat
...has got me sweatin
sugar lips of pure confection
dippin curves above my hips
lick the sugar from my lips
on this rooftop oasis
Far away I slumber
in the space between skipped beats
and I am liftin
and I am driftin off
to the rooftop oasis heat
O baby when you think of me
O will you savor me

yea
Rooftop oasis
emerge in the spaces 'tween every skippin beat
this rooftop heat
...has got me sweatin
sugar lips of pure confection
dippin curves above my hips
lick the sugar from my lips
on this rooftop oasis

Sugar From My Lips (amp)

I'm never gettin over
all the time I've been oppressed
and the longer that I sit here
the less
and less
and less   I digest
O
but I digress
and if I had lacked discretion or recognized this mess
I'd be smilin every day now
and gettin down
less and less
but I was blessed
cause no matter the final tally
or the measure of the test
I refuse to let it beat me
yea I confess
cause the longer that I sit here
the less
and less
and less
I'm feelin blessed
O
seems I'm never gonna (not be) depressed
yea
if I had to guess
but I'm damn sure that in the end
it'll be me in the end
yea
I'm never gettin over
all the times I've been oppressed
and the longer that I sit here
the less
and less
and less
cause ya know
it's the best I'm ever
gonna get

Never Gettin Over (amp)

Where some may see wisdom and experience- I see cracks that must be relentlessly assaulted to preserve the last of beauty so that I may remain relevant

Ohhh
Muffle that drum (in the distance)
yea
Let the mourners come...and let them wear bands of black
upon their sleeves
refrain from idle speech
yea
turn down the shades
shut off the light
Ohhh
we're set to mourn deep into the night
and
Ohhh
the moon grew heavy with the weight of love but...
she's meant to hold it...
(yea) so she wears it like a grudge
and
she was chasing down the reaper
said she'd force him to dig a little deeper
and bring back her dead
and Ohhh
that moon's been fighting beauty
and she's losing...
so she calls it mutiny
forfeit all her assets to the victors
her younger sisters (yea)
so muffle that drum (in the distance) yea
let the mourners come and
let them wear bands of black upon their sleeves
refrain from idle speech yea
turn down the shades
shut off the light
gonna go on
and mourn all night

Fightin Beauty (amp)

🤟🏼Working on new patterns and techniques in composition, production, and performance of both instrumental(classical/acoustic guitar) and voice- pieces are built (loops and beats)..on BandLab @nyla_k00  and Soundtrap (new)

I have removed the (amp) tag for consistency in distribution- acoustic pieces I perform will be tagged as ‘acoustic’ (apologies for page reorganization)

TBH, I aspire to be a guitar 🎸 but I’ll settle for being able to play competently what I hear when I write...(one day, Alice...to the moon)

I study under Duncan L. Wood and am grateful for his guidance and patience. Most of my influences are Folk/Blues/Indie, but inspiration arrives in many forms so HT to Hip Hop, Rap, Classical, especially Chamber trios. Current tracks are first cuts and I may update them in the future with cleaner versions, thank you for listening as I learn.
