love the long melody of this...and the lofi buzz is straight up my alley.

GGGGRRRRRRREEEEEAAAATTTT my daughter loves your stuff & so do I!

Don't you mistake cold
For fear of warmth
It's a contradiction and it's been 
Drummed into a truth
A window painted black,
A secret, my inside

Uneven floorboards hold me back
A ticket's worth of tears
When I would rather wait for a stranger
Than a mistake made just for me

And the warmth, it spills into my dreams
A tidal wave tried to break the wall
Of a paper world behind my skin
Tell me why the lines in my two hands
Hold different tales, and shroud me in
These metaphors behind my skin

Bend your neck towards a smile
Just make sure it's all a restriction
In the back of your mind
Close enough to worry that you've
Stained the precious sky

Oh strangers take me slowly
A lost mistake, you'll look and say
We made this just for you
It's freezing cold

And the warmth, it spills into my dreams
A tidal wave tried to break the wall
Of a paper world behind my skin
Tell me why the lines in my two hands
Hold different tales, and shroud me in
These metaphors behind my skin

My Two Hands (2021)

Squirrel Pants

I will pretend to have a soul
On the days that I am wholly hollow
We'll slay everything your afraid of

Rust

If I made you tell me how I used to be, would you lie?

When The Lights

Crushed and hysterical
Standing at a standstill

Standstill

There's no hurry
And I choke on the words

Choke

The bartenders are keeping tabs on me 
The memories are creeping up on me
My nemeses are not the ones I fear

Circles

I can't hear you whisper for the noises in my mind

Scatter

Bottom Of The Sea


I'll turn my hand to anything 
Give it my best
Everywhere I've ever been
Never had a rest

Give me chance and I will toil
Work my fingers to the bone
And I will earn my passage home
Make amends for what I've done

If you don't need me I will leave you be
I'll move along
But if you do I won't let you down
My spirit is strong

Give me chance and I will toil
Work my fingers to the bone
And I will earn my passage home
Make amends for what I've done

When I've earned all that I need
I'll be on my way
I'll not forget where I have been
And how I used to say:

Give me chance and I will toil
Work my fingers to the bone
And I will earn my passage home
Make amends for what I've done








For the Things I've Spoiled

I make Lofi recordings with an old dictaphone, a child’s guitar and a pink ukulele (or puke) sat by my kitchen door.
I can only do one rhythm and two barre chords, I couldn’t tell you their names but they’ve served me well. 
I hope you can hear through the murk and the mumbling and enjoy the songs.

For the Things I've Spoiled

Cuccu!
