Things I lost in the everyday
take a picture and assume to stay
get refused...and hope I fade away
was I too much
was I inconvenient
was all my love the expected treatment
and when I asked for a breathe of air
all I'd get was a blank stare
the vacancy of ur concern
leaving me on fire and prepared to burn
yea why don't you ask me where I've been
am I making it? on a scale of 1-10.
cause babe, U already know what
U hope to learn cause that gas is just a 
vacancy of concern...one that
leaves me open to the burn
yea...the things I lost in the everyday
take a picture and assume to stay
get refused...and hope I fade away
and I really tried in the moment
but ur soul is dessicated
looks bad, even when U plate it
and it's become my turn...
can U see...the vacancy of my concern?

The Vacancy Of Ur Concern

Smoke dance ref...H/T Haudenosaunee

My feet are naked on the dirt
and they are not idle beneath my skirts
for in the smoke they stab and kick
til the moment that they fade
...and smoke carries them away
my feet leave no impression
for the exhale of ur questions
the weight to which I'm bound
upon my feet...that make no sound
naked on the dirt
carry grace like a rain cloud
yea and can u make that fiddle sadder
ignore the mad hatter...or catch me in a crowd
strike me down...just to see me hurt
yea
strike me down, wanna see me hurt
my feet are naked on the dirt
and they are not idle beneath my skirts
for in the smoke they stab and kick
til the moment that they fade
...and smoke carries them away
O yea yea
and my heart's skipping beats
my ears are full of thunder
cause my feet...pickin up the beat
like a mumble...and I'm going under

Naked On The Dirt

Seems a long time ago...when I knew what I thought I knew
but after all these years
and all these battles
I guess that was never true...cause babe
I'm just one soul
and I got nothing to prove
O the way U keep expecting me to lose
waiting so patiently for ur dues
and its all upside down and inside out
but here I am...so, what's it all about?
please...tell me so I can close this door
feels like my heart's tore
and only the pressure of my saddness
keeps me from bleeding out
all over this floor
O O, cause it seems a long time ago...when I knew what I thought I knew
but after all these years
and all these battles
I guess that was never true...cause babe
I'm just one soul
O
and I'll be pulling out the station
cause babe it's all I can do
and I'll be lost in stagnation if I stay
here waiting for U

Lost In Stagnation

U walked me back from the edge today
and I guess I'm ok...but my whole world
is just a lie, got everybody sayin it's justified
and somedays
I just wish I could lay in my warm bed
when the storms are moving overhead
so I don't have to testify against the tethers 
on my heart O yea
cause baby...we're worlds apart
and who turned ur roving eye
to lead U to betray me...I'm guessing god
cause it's god who instatedly, invadingly
put my wings upon ur vagary
and now I can see the whole design
my grave...not so hard to find...
and I've been called back by the creator
O my...yea and 
I just wish I could lay in my warm bed
when the storms are moving overhead
so I don't have to testify against the tethers 
on my heart O yea
cause baby...we're worlds apart
cause some days I wish it weren't so hard

And Somedays

We drew pictures in the sunsets
dreamed a future full of dances
always mindful of a silence that stole our 
hearts in silent violence yea and
daddy has an issue cause his courage got cut out
so he breaks ur will with kindness
though he slaps it on with doubt
yea...and wisdom sometimes falls away
like light from a shadow dance
and he compliments with gestures...
lookin to shake ur guidance
cause haters only know hate
let u suffer in silent violence
O   yea
and bossman got his issues
cause his courage got shut down
so he breaks ur will like tyrants
...on psylocibins...hoping u suffer in his...
silent violence...
O yea
cause haters only know hate
...let u suffer...in silent violence

Silent Violence

There's a bank of ferns beside the creek bed
and I always turn my head...cause 'neath 
that ledge, where the water slides
I remember my young dog's cries
as the earth fed...the old bones of another
dead since last winter...yea
and the echoes of the cries brings the 
canyon alive...just for a moment as 
two worlds collide...only to slip away
and subside...yea ye ye yea
and mists rise and we might's  well be blind
and we all stumble as the oracle mumbles
too scared to raise her voice
and I'm afraid we've no choice...
cause 'neath 
that ledge, where the water slides
I remember my young dog's cries
as the earth fed...the old bones of another
dead since last winter...yea
and the echoes of the cries brings the 
canyon alive...just for a moment as 
two worlds collide...only to slip away
and subside...

Mights Well

Who I thought I was when I introduced myself
or when I reach inside to where it dwells
appears to be a diamond..but that's
the 2-D version line man
cause it's the bottom...if ya follow
so I must pop up from the dot
the dash, the line...to fully be seen
in my density, my complexity
the being that I aim to be for all time
...(by design)
and I cannot quit myself and
I've quit shrinking so U feel tall...
and forgetting that I was never meant to stay small
gonna answer that call bae,
gonna answer that call...cause...

so if U think U know me
and if U aim to please
U must respect the line...for I am one-of-a-kind
bae, one of a kind

Respect The Line Man

Time has passed since I saw U last
...seems like so many seasons
...no doubt U have ur reasons
and I'd really like to visit
get to know U and ur business
and I end up thinking way too much
about lil boy blue...and that'd be me
crying over U
...the man on the moon
seeking the silver spoon...left me
in the levee...with that old stolen chevy
yea...cause it all ended way too soon
that man on the moon, and
Time has passed since I saw U last
...seems like so many seasons
...no doubt U have ur reasons
and the rain's coming in...yea
windshield wipers slappin time
ur hand holdin mine...as we sang every 
song that driver knew...
Time has passed since I saw U last
...seems like so many seasons
...no doubt U have ur reasons

I End Up Thinking

I comfort myself and say...one day you'll
understand, but that day hasn't come
and you've slapped away my hand
and if I had betrayed a child's love...I would
accept this reprimand
but what of the child's play...to betray
unto death...a command
so U tried to kill me
will me
set me up as the hot grenade
...so U might reveal me...
as the matriarch of satan's psycho ways
O my sweet love...
for I have recently acquired Michael's blade
and til death do us part...means an early grave
yea clock it...cause bae
U ain't that brave
and if I had betrayed a child's love...I would
accept this reprimand
but what of the child's play...to betray
unto death...a command

yea clock it...cause bae
U ain't that brave

The Hot Grenade

I have come to an understanding as I slip into the current
that I have lost something
that I thought I'd never lose
some permanence I'd think
would be...yet here I am saying again
goodbye identity...it was nice
and I truly love U but I've outgrown the old visage
and the not great scene...and now
I'm alone but I'm serene
and I can hear U on the wind
what do u mean and what's ur spin
but the beauty of this score
is that I don't worry 'bout u anymore
yea... I have surrendered
to the fates
indoctrinated in my strength and faith
and the things I was
and the feels I ignored
yea babe
I may be poor
but my fortune's never late
yet here I am saying again
goodbye identity...it was nice
and I truly love U but I've outgrown the old visage
and the not great scene...and now
I'm alone but I'm serene

I Dont Worry

🤟🏼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.
