9:15 improv

they come with the night
all shapes & sizes
to hide under your bed

& your parents come in the room
look around
and behind
they say you have nothing
to be afraid of
its all in your mind

but those monsters are how you feel
you know whats real
only you know what's real
& those monsters are all you see
but they won't believe
they won't believe

you get up in the night
to find your flash light
& hide under your nancy drew sheets

you say maybe if I stay here
they won't see me
or maybe they'll just think i'm company
I think i've got a plan here
oh a line of attack
imma get those monsters
imma get them back

imma turn the lights on
imma turn the lights on them
they're only used to kids running 
away from them

ect.

Monsters

Bryyn and I were paired to do a collaborative Christmas song. I am in love with the results!

Have Your Self A Merry Little Christmas (Ft. Bryyn)

I once found a man
who could do things to me that I like
to me that I like
I once found a man

& the boys on the block
said I was tellin lies

i once met a man 
who said 
he felt naked in my eyes
na-aked in my eyes

& when our thighs touch together
in stormy weather

I heard those girls talkin’ shit
& I heard those 
church bells rinin’ in the distance

yea i’m from the block
& yeah I suck cock
yea i’m from the block
& yeah I suck 

I once found a man
who could do things to me that I like
to me that I like
I once found a man

& when our thighs touch together
in stormy weather. 

Stormy weather

somethin about it mountain man

I am sittin in those hills way up high
all my windows broke
and I can’t keep in the cold 
the heat is comin in
you are comin 
co-commin in

the lights are out
the lights are all out again
but i am not afraid
to love you in the dark 
and you will run away 
and race me all up far
the hills

i will take a string 
tie you closer to my heart
if you will let me break you 
break you all apart
but darlin do not worry
i will put you together
again

all your vallies speak 
measurements to me 
but I am weary
to take a plane
to see su see you sleep  

so do you think you like
do do you think you like me
& are you gonna do
are you gonna do
somethin about it mountain man
 

Mountain Man

this is about those encounters which you have...the ones which you are anxious for before it happens & when it actually happens theres not a sigh of relief...but a long winded let down and a strange morning. 

Be in love

A lot has been happening in my life lately. I think the song does a good job of explaining its self.
thanks for all the new support!


 This is pretty lo-fi so if that bothers you which I know it does a bunch of you don't listen to it.

Tea Leigh & Luke Reed - Color Theory [PLEASURE CURSES RMX]

I snuck out the back door
of your party
& as I did so
I ripped my jeans
& i crept quietly through your back yard
as to avoid your friends

cause you would throw me to the wolves
& they would eat me up
and spit me out
all whiskey & whispered
and my wild eyes
would fill with tears

I snuck out the back door
of your party
& as I did so i took off my jeans
& I started running
& jumped into the water
it was the best i had felt

I started running 
jumped into the water
it was the best i felt

& I swam with wolves
as we ran with pride

& swam with wolves
with my wild eyes

Wolves & Wild Eyes

I have been told many times that if I cleaned up my sound a bit, I would have gold on my hands. Well, i've done that! I'm recording in the studio to tape & expect my album to be released on vinyl later this summer. Here is a new re-recorded & mastered track of Rushing In. Enjoy

halo of gold
& you're thinking about
what you might score
