Catching words with a writer’s block          
And thinking I was somewhere I’m not
Watching people pass me by
The blank page before me to soon come alive

Sitting down change runs through my mind
And a concept evolves that involves you tonight   
You tell me things that I don’t know
Like forget about now cause the moods so low

And anytime you need to say
Words are forever don’t throw them away
Maybe life seems hard and subdue
But then how do I try and tell you

Cause it’s been, so long
Since you first came along  
So take me home
We’ll sit in silence all alone

And it’s been, great these days 
I never wanted you to go away
So why do you stay
With me here on this blank page

A word, a sentence and a paragraph
Are all that now stands between you and the mask
That covers and shades your tear stained eyes
From the shining light that you really supply

Well here I go, I’m writing and
I’m gonna make this claim       
With you to watch over me 
We gonna ride the road to fame 

Any time you need to say
Words are forever don’t throw them away
Maybe I can rescue you 
But then how do you tell me that won’t do

When it’s been, so long
Since you first came along
So take me home
We’ll sit in silence all alone

And it’s been, great these days
I never wanted you to go away
You don’t have to stay
Alone on this on this empty page

Any time you need to say
Songs are forever don’t throw them away
I know I can rescue you
So hold out your hands and I'll carry you

Cause it’s been, so long
Since you first came along
So take me home
There is no silence or alone

And it’s been, great these days
I never want for you to go away
Come on and stay
With me here on this first page

And it’s been, so long
Since you first came along
We’re all alone
Alone in a safety zone

And it’s been, great these days
I never want for you to go away
You’ve rescued me 
From a life on an empty page

(So Long) Rescue Me

(So Long) Rescue Me (Demo)

Some of the lyrics in this songs have been used in other songs. specifically the "Overstated Verse" was first used in the "Double shot of Cuervo" and the "i had to dig a hole" verse has been used in a Furico music team collaboration that is still l in production. I liked how they fit in this song!

Tiny Tyrants
A chip a chirp and then the Strike.
Inexplicable in origin or in fact.
a distant memory unknown and yet familiar
as a house-hold pet.
Which brings up the fact that I outlived ten dogs and cats
and grieved so hard their Tragic Passing.

Quiet isolation, So delicious
causes course derision and division 
among the Tiny Tyrants
A waste of time of which i have not enough of.
Malice pushes through and stabs me in my heart.
and leaves behind another broken part
that always mends a little crooked.

I had to dig a hole so deep that i Fell in
and i never managed to get out again
This life is just a state of mind
and there's no need to be Unkind
mistakes are made from time to time 
and who's to say they were mistakes at all.
Someone's gotta make the call.
Someone's gotta take the Fall.

overrated understated slightly dated speculations
on the origins related to complicit complications
of intention and the nature of invention 
in the manufacture of Reality.

Tiny Tyrants.....Artwork by Kris F

Feel the eyes hear the cries
Feel the eyes upon you hear the cries inside you
Demon here demon there
This ain't no time to be scared
Your hands have got to grip the hedges
Your feet stay firm on the bridges
It's you who chose to journey alone
Why couldn't you just stay home?

If you aim your desire
You could live by your own fire
Even when your spirits draw away
Hear them shaking in the grass
Can you feel them watching you as you pass?
The tiny voice that soothes is coming from you

Fear the night fear the day
The dead or the living when they pass your way
Demon here demon there
Everywhere

If you aim your desire
You could live by your own fire
Even when the spirits leave you lone
Remember long ago
What you already know
What you already know
Your way home

Demon here demon there
Don't be scared. Stay aware
You gotta stay clear. You gotta stay bold
Hands and feet gotta hold
Demon teams demon dreams
Woven out of the moonbeams
Voicing from below in echo

Carve a sigil cast a bone
Make an altar of a stone
Call to the beast beyond the foam
A gentle hand, a knowing eye, a loving tone

Feel the eyes hear the cries
Feel the eyes upon you hear the cries inside you
Demon in the heat. Demon on repeat
Why didn't you just stay home?
Now you're just all about the sight
Of the towns at the foot of the mountain
With their beckoning lights

Demon teams demon dreams
They called you out again
Now your hands have got to hold
Your legs have got to stand
Feel the eyes hear the cries
The howling of the beast
You're the howling in the peaks
You are the beast you seek

Echo Demon

This is a song that started off as something else entirely different. Originally, it was a noodle that I recorded using a delay pedal. I gave it to Chris Maness, who put a killer bass lines on in. so, I went back and completely reimagined it as an actual song. I thought it sounded kinda swampy, so I thought of the most musical thing I could think of about a swamp. I remember the swarms of gnats that would form different patterns when I'd sing different vibrations at them. Hence, Dance of the Gnats.

The image is an oil painting made for me by my friend Ray's Ukrainian born Wife,  Artist Margaryta Yermolayeva. It is a painting of my favorite view out the window at the home I moved away from a year ago. At that home I learned a lot about life and a lot about myself. Now a memory of that home hangs on the wall in my bedroom so I can awake each day and still see my favorite view out the window. So, why the title Hide? I'm not sure. I wasn't hiding from anything or anyone. Maybe hiding mentally from relationship problems and finding flight to be easier than fight.

Fuzz Feel 

Don’t ask me how I am
If you don’t want to know
It all could be good 
High 
or low 

Fuzz feel 
It all starts with the fuzz feel 
Noise colliding in the fuzz feel 
Slight touch electric
 
Fuzz feel 
Freeze somehow In the fuzz feel
Frontal lobe busy in the buzz kill 
Forget what I should know 

I fall into a long pause 
Am I tired or just relaxed?
I shift behind my mask 
Into myself I will collapse 

Fuzz feel 
IQ falling in the fuzz feel
Lose cohesion in the fuzz feel 
Chaos in your flow
 
Fuzz feel 
Storm warning in the fuzz feel 
Light is blinding in the fuzz feel
Shutdowns will come 

Fuzz feel
Can’t explain it in the fuzz feel 
Strange sensation in the fuzz feel 
Words don’t mean a thing 

Fuzz feel 
I’m eroding in the fuzz feel 
Lose ideas to the fuzz feel 
And then tension grows 

Fuzz feel 
Fuzz feel 
Fuzz feel 
Fuzz feel
