Lyrics:
Old Empty Room

In this old town
When snow comes down
There's not much chance of it laying
The roads go brown
In this dirty town
And stops the kids from playing

The old empty room
Down the hall
Is like December
A Winter so bare
Like the room
'Cause you're not there

The walls are so cold
Like your heart
As I remember
A small chink of light
From the blinds
We used to share

The echoes of
Your laughter now
Brings teardrops to my eye
The memory of
Faded joy
Like dusty air in sunlight

The old empty room
Down the hall
Is like December
A Winter so bare
Like the room
'Cause you're not there

The walls are so cold
Like your heart
As I remember
A small chink of light
From the blinds
We used to share

What might happen if a nuclear war were to happen between Russia and United States? 
Who would survive?
One thing is clear – “There are no winners – only losers”

There Are No Winners

A song written for my brother's wedding.

Little bit older, little bit wiser,
Maybe just lucky this time around.
Little bit stronger, little bit surer,
You know how this plays out.

Bit of grey hair, bit of laughter,
Few more lines around the mouth.
Pairs of glasses, plenty of storm clouds,
But there's a fire that won't go out.

Years behind.
Years to go.
Years to find.
And years to grow.

A spell of hard times, a breath of hoping,
A few more scars behind the eyes.
Some heavy losses, some re-found friends,
Some fading out from time time.
Another year older, a little less wild yeah,
A few more aches to start the day.
The same old journeys, same old laughter,
Same old smile to light the way.

Years behind.
Years to go.
Years to find.
And years to grow.

Little bit older, little bit wiser,
Maybe just lucky this time around.

Years

The Stars Tonight

I never pray but I might start today
I’ll say a prayer for you, I’ll say one for me too
I pray that all your dreams will soon come true
And all the love you lost will come back to you

Chorus
And all our troubles slowly fade away
On my knees I pray

Stars look nice tonight, wish I may wish I might
Be there for someone before my day is done
And I wish you well, I wish you all the best
May you find true love and happiness

Chorus 

In the morning light I can see so clear
Choices that I make or forsake will lead me here
I can change it all today

If the sky is dark, I hope you find your way
I’ll keep a fire burning until you’re home and safe

Chorus

the stars tonight

Outpost

Dreamlike

Learned it from a CD, masters of the dulcimer, V2. 

Leaving the Methow

I have lived I have loved and I have died a million times 
In my eternal circle I am me
Here I suffer
Here I pray
Here I bleed and here I heal

Melting golden calves of the mind, throwing idols on the pyre
I am eternal, I am the nameless one without a face, the shadow and the light

A rotten wasteland
A wretched stinking place

I dig my way, through the dark paths in my soul
Angelic voices sing in spiteful ways

Melting golden calves of the mind, throwing idols on the pyre
I am eternal, I am the nameless one without a face, the shadow and the light

A flow into the ether, a movement from above to below.
A tide that runs through everything 
The alchemy of heart and soul

Melting golden calves of the mind, throwing idols on the pyre (aaah)
I am eternal, I am the nameless one without a face, the shadow and the light

I am fire I am light, I'm the cruel destroyer and salvation
I am now, I am here, and I am eternal
Immersed in shadows and in light


The shadow and the light

💙🤍🤍🤍🤍
This is Us

[Intro]
It started with a sharp pinch
your eyes—mine
soft chaos in the quiet

[Verse 1]
You looked unimpressed
my heart mistook the signs
fingers almost touched
but the silence broke first

You smiled like thunder
before the rain fell
I staggered toward you
like I swore I wouldn’t do

[Chorus]
This is us
a wildfire kiss
crashing waves and clenched fists
we don't play nice
we burn we twist
falling hard
but never miss
we're not soft
we're stunning in the break

[Verse 2]
Your voice left bruises
in the shape of a broken home
our love's a tornado
in a glass spine

We are wolf and crow
drawn to cliffs and chaos
even the crash feels holy
when it’s you and me babe

[Bridge]
Scars like teeth marks
excuses like echoes
we don’t land soft
we collide like gods
forgetting we can bleed

[Final Chorus]
This is us
not perfect not tame
but brilliant
in our undertaking
we break to rebuild
we fall just to feel
this love
raw and overrated

[Outro]
You should let go
you should let go
