Lyrics
Sitting on a rock, throwing stones
Climbed up here to be alone
Never going home
Never going home
Try to be the girl that you need me to be
But I just wanna be me
Just me
Never going home
It’s that time again
Get ready to take your seat for the 6 o clock show
Trying to eat
Lump in my throat
My crime
Label of my life
You want something to cry about
You disappointing child
I’m so heavily connected to rejection
Begin to resent the fake affection
Dressed as good intentions
Tainted with aggression
I’ll take my time
Wait for the light
To fade
Blood red to grey 
Desensitize
I’m gonna build my walls so high
No one can climb
And so I’m
Sitting on a rock throwing stones
Climbed up here to be alone
Never going home
Never going home
Try to be the woman that you need me to be
But I just wanna be me
Just me
Better go on home

Throwing Stones

This is not a song about Marilyn Monroe.
It’s about a fiery relationship they came to an end between two people in which she screams in a melt down  and quotes a famous line from Marilyn Monroe.

If you can’t handle me at my worst then you don’t deserve me at my best !

Marilyn’s Quote ~ Conscience of Kings with Jeff Roberts

Dear Prudence (by the Beatles)

A very early track, in complete remake. There is an earlier remake on my profile too and a remix of that remake, but I never uploaded the original.

"redux" as in, rethunk and cut out some redundant verses.

closing track of the "Fall" EP

lyrics:

Manyman the missionary
his holy cross in hand
holding up his sacred book
he is fighting for his land

He passes the threshold of his thoughts
darkness conquering his mind
this confusion has only brought
a glance upon the other side

Manyman and his smiling mask
answering his divine task
could he conquer all that's ill?
Manyman's a man of will

and the missionary stumbles
and he's grabbing for a hold
all the words that once had built him
now make him choke upon his throat

Manyman projects away
cannot stand the light of day
reflects upon this failing grace
put Manyman back in his place

Manyman the world is open
Manyman it's there for you
do you know it's all you hoped for
there is nothing you can't do

Fall

over here ✨

Manyman (redux)

I played clarinet for a few years in both elementary and middle school, and ever since then, I have occasionally craved the feel of playing one. In September of 2022, I was at a flea market in Lemoyne PA when I saw one for sale. It was in the exact same case that I remember as a kid; same brand and everything. I was even able to get a nice sound out of it with the reed that was included. My mom insisted on buying it for me.  I love it! Within five days I wrote and produced this song, which contains...you guessed, a clarinet solo.

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need 

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need from me

Baby wants the tv
Baby wants some drink
Baby wants some goldfish crackers
Baby wants a brand new diamond ring

Baby wants to watch me
Wants to watch me move
Baby wants to watch me
Watch me do everything for you

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need 

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need from me

Baby wants a new Jean jacket 
Baby wants a new toy
Baby wants some new sunglasses
Baby wants a crate of kinderjoy

Baby wants to watch me
Wants to watch me move
Baby wants to watch me
Watch me do everything for you

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need 

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need from me

Another drive-by shooting in the city
another victim - yeah such a pity
the cops have got their hands full
some say it’s just a bunch of bull
CO-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE
I’m sayin’ CO-CO-CO-CAINE

Brothers putting their lives 
on the line
so you can get high 
‘n have a good time
posses fighting 
for territory
flying their colors 
collecting MONEY
CO-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE 
I’m sayin’ CO-CO-CO-CAINE
C O-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE
Yeah it’s such - such a shame.

Some people preach 
“Just Say No”
others keep dreaming ‘bout 
mountains of snow
pushers fronting - dealing 24/7
so you can get high and feel
your in heaven  - your in heaven 
your in heaven - your in heaven
CO-CO-CO--CAINE  - I’m sayin’ COCAINE  Bro.

You spend your time getting stoned

CO-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE
Yeah it’s such - such a shame.

Spending your money
on ecstasy
can’t set yourself free
that’s your destiny 
like a dope on a rope
only way you can cope
you visit the devils’ den
so you can get high ‘n feel
your in heaven - your in heaven 
your in heaven
CO-C0-CO-CAINE
CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE

Birds In The Trees, Flowers In The Meadow

Right now I feel I’m dying – While trapped inside my mind and – I’m going crazy thinking I should reassess my life and figure out a way to make you whole
Right now you feel you’re dying – you’re quota’s up on crying – you’re going crazy thinking you should reassess your life and figure out a way to let me go 
This is not the way that it's supposed to go                             
Chorus:
     With all the clouds that we’ve encountered we're still drinking from this fountain – I don’t know about you girl, but I’ve been feeling kind of weary, you agree it’s pretty scary when the world comes to a halt, And you agree not my fault but we keep searching for an answer –  while I’m running round in circles –making your day dizzy, stand on solid ground and let me hold on cause I’m falling off the earth – It’s always such a difficult experience when I look into your eyes and see you’re hurt.
Opposite directions no longer we’re infectious – but I’ll bet a million dollars I still can’t hide my erection – I intend to find a way to make you glow
You’re thinking this ain’t your issue but babe just let me kiss you and maybe for a minute you could put aside that tissue and let me in cause I’m all you know
This is not the way that it's supposed to go - Yeah 
 With all the clouds that we’ve encountered we're still drinking from this fountain – I don’t know about you girl, but I’ve been feeling kind of weary, you agree it’s pretty scary when the world comes to a halt, And you agree not my fault but we keep searching for an answer –  while I’m running round in circles –making your day dizzy, stand on solid ground and let me hold on cause I’m falling off the earth – It’s always such a difficult experience when I look into your eyes and see you’re hurt.
It's always such a difficult experience when i look into your eyes and know you're hurt
