Thrift Shop Treasure

You’ve hijacked all my senses 
now I’m a pirate wannabe 
as I’m drifting from the fences
to my destiny 
and I’ll follow you through sunsets 
crossing oceans in rebellion 
as a refugee 
as a refugee and 

This chemical reaction makes me crave for satisfaction 
going weak in your vicinity 
think I’m gonna take a knee 
and in this phase of my excitement 
I’m shameless and amusing and we could have fun 
you and me 
and 

Like the howler in the alley 
I’m radiating heat
questioning my sanity 
living in a fantasy 
thinking you’re my destiny
when I’m really just a refugee

Driftin From My Fences

this is a song off an ep i put out a while back that was recorded on an old 4 track tape recorder which i thought had a nice ragged sound................thanks for having a listen

Miles Away

Let it go 
she said
let it go 
I walked away 
not gonna win that fight 
all those things I’m giving 
leaving life and love behind 
she’s got it all 
and nothings left for me to find 

Just let it go 
he said let it go 
step away again 
cause what’s the problem now 
you fight you’re on your own 
and 
where did it start 
and 
where does it end 
Those words are poison in my bones 

Let it go 
you said
let it go 
and 
You say I’m crazy 
Just stop trying 
Cause when I fight…you’ll say I’m lying 
         and you did 
Gonna let it go 
walk away 
let it go 
leave you to it 
just miss me with that mess
cause when you know 
you know 
then
you can let it go

I'll Walk Away Let It Go (amped)

My version (cover) of Nirvana’s “Something In The Way”.

Something In The Way (Nirvana Cover)

Worn out shirt
soft and faded
cotton threads gone bare 
in places 
 Days I put it on 
I feel just like I did 
          when 
A while back and 
           then 
brush my cheek against its fabric 
I’ve made it stretch and give
same way I learned to live 
and 
I put it on so I feel just like I did
              when
A while back and 
               then 
pearl buttons over silver clasp
white ivory combs in a lightnin flash 
caught out in the open 
gettin drowned 
this sodden clothing 
where my warmth is holding 
in a shirt that’s softly fading 
cotton threads gone bare in places
every tear has been repaired 
for the life and memory of the person 
that I was and who I’ll always be

Bare In Places

Maybe I’m too deep 
in the pit
cause when the prayers that I’ve been sending 
finally reach the ears of heaven 
they’re too distorted in their distance from my lips

and I want to rest in peace 
and I’m forever this damn tired
from fighting off defeat 

Got me calling all the spirits near
to carry on my message 
pass it through for heaven’s ear
and I must find the strength 
to persevere 
thorns pressed upon my flesh 
chains with weights to slow my step 
and I’m 
acquainted with death 
just want to rest in peace 
seems I’m always this damn tired 
fighting off defeat 
yea
might be in too deep 
sending prayers from the pit 
vibrations reaching heaven 
distorted in the distance from my lips

The Distance From My Lips

Tell her that when you found me 
I’d stood my ground in the dirt and ash 
and in my fist
a soiled rag
tell her of the tatters 
of the cloth she sewed for me 
of her ribbon that I’ve kept 
escapes into the trees

Will you take wing like a wild creature 
a promise lost 
cause I’ll not meet her
after thee

Tell her to be patient 
ask of death no speed
and tell her 
not to cry for me 
tell her not to grieve 

Will you take wing like a wild creature 
a promise lost 
cause I’ll not meet her
after thee

Tell her I said her name as light was fading 
words carried on the breath
where death lay waiting 
tell her that when you found me 
cold where warmth had been 
I thought of her 
I felt the sting

Will you take wing like a wild creature 
a promise lost 
cause I’ll not meet her
after thee

I’ll Not Meet Her

The sum of us 
is not the carnage that we see
but the secrets that we keep 
the graveyards in our souls 
with its dirt
clinging to our feet 

Wouldya take my confession 
lift this weight that holds me down 
this heavy crown 
cause I cannot let regret 
be my only companion 

Every voice I’ve ever heard 
every soul I’ve ever known 
carries on within me
those lessons my mind holds
and how could I ever know 
why I say the things I say
walking wounded 
seeking praise
full of fear
makes me run away 

I know you love me tho I’m sure
I’m undeserved 
remember to keep a lid
on that hole that I hid
collapsin stars and draggin it all in

Wouldya take my confession 
lift this weight that holds me down 
this heavy crown

Take My Confession

🤟🏼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.
