AUSTIN

Don't Understand

Gazing through the lens of time
With memories that draw the line
From moments past and younger days
And hearts that bind forever ways

Fearless as the morning sun
That never sets or comes undone
Tales of romance ever clear
With every day I wish you here

A stolen kiss upon the hill
We talked, we danced, come what will
Come what may and ever be
Azure skies through storming seas

By virtue, fate and roads that pass
Walks through spring and summer grass
Fires that force another way
That we may dance another day

Countenance and circumstance
With every step of every dance   
To set upon the midnight sun
Crossed in arms, two as one

A stolen kiss upon the hill
We talked, we danced, come what will
Come what may and ever be
Azure skies through storming seas

The lens is ours, not yours or mine
A vision graced by love divine
With memories that fade away
And hearts that find they're here to stay

A stolen kiss upon the hill
We talked, we danced, come what will
Come what may and ever be
Azure skies through storming seas

Lens of Time

Lens Of Time

A song about struggling with depression, and the feeling of not being able to escape it.

Drowning

There will come a time of roses
There will come a time to die
Meet me in the here tomorrow
Chase me to the afterlife

You can lead a fool to justice
You can make a blind man see
The lines of fate draw certain truth
I’ll meet you at infinity

Waiting for the river bell
A flower dies before the smell  
I wonder why I wonder how
To say the things I’d never tell

Waiting for the river bell
Waiting for the river bell

A narrow proposition
An error state of mind
Sorrow rains rose petal stains
A clock runs out the end of time	   	  

A birth decree of legacy
Antagonize the wish to be
Eternal with the means to see
What becomes of you and me

Waiting for the river bell
A flower dies before the smell
I wonder why I wonder how
To say the things I’d never tell

Waiting for the river bell
Waiting for the river bell

A new state of derision
The shadows of my kind
Singular with what we see
That which makes us blind

Searching for the love we need
In absolution victory
Flowers bearing thorns that bleed
What's between us, you and me

Waiting for the river bell
A flower dies before the smell
I wonder why I wonder how
To say the things I’d never tell

Waiting for the river bell
Waiting for the river bell

There will come a time of roses

F-1 Trillion: Long Bed

Dead At The Honky Tonk

Took me 35 years to get to LA
Took the long way
Went back home the very next day
Looking for a place to stay

Lowdown, Motown,
White collar blues
Bottle of fix
And the wrong tattoo

Zero down mortgage,
Couldn’t pay my dues
Wanted my name
On the evening news

Hopped a bus
In a southern way
Woke up in Ohio
Was alone that day

Left for Cincinnati
It was cold outside
First thing that I noticed
I needed a ride

Then a Crossroad Mary came up on side
Said what do you want, what do you need in life?
I asked for directions & a slice of pie
She told me hop on
Gave me a ride

We hit Chicago first
Took a turn for the worst
Should’ve thought ahead
Take the time to rehearse

( there was no reverse )

Lost my money instead,
Another day in the red
Things were looking up
When I rolled out of bed

( she gave me a ride )

We hit Kentucky next
I was somewhat vexed
Took a zero-dollar gambit
Got my stuff annexed

( I was hexed )

No more dimes / no time
Couldn’t make a nursery rhyme
Got out of Dodge
Crossed the state line

Then a Crossroad Mary came up on side
Said what do you want, what do you need in life?
I asked for directions & a slice of pie
She told me hop on
Gave me a ride

We made it to Texas
No time for breakfast
Left for Amarillo
Nobody could catch us

Took a fresh cap / d-tap
Cow manure
Mushrooms on top
Like a fishing lure

Made it to Vegas
The very next day
Things were looking up
I was on my way

But my luck run out
When she pulled out a gun
Took my wallet & keys
Rode off into the sun

Then a Crossroad Mary came up on side
Said what do you want, what do you need in life?
I asked for directions & a slice of pie
She told me hop on
Gave me a ride
