january it started then
maybe nothing's changed and it's how it's always been

always something getting in the way i guess
a tragedy is our love

january it started then
i guess nothing's changed and it has always been a tragedy

tragedy

i haunt ghosts
and ask them to kiss me 
pick them up in my car
and break their hearts

really what i need
is a slap on my cheek
but ghosts have no fingers
and they can't make me bleed

i haunt ghosts

I get home
that's what it's supposed to be
Then how come
this place sucks the life out of me
I'm on zero
What is freedom

I need to run as far as I can 
I need to see how far I can go
I need to run
I need a home

I need more than your evangelist 
more than your fake promises
than the heart pulled from my chest
I need more than the taste of my sweat

I need a place to let my thoughts collect
somewhere to create more than I ever expected

But the sand falls through my fist
all the phone calls that I miss
and the silence that persists
"you know you need more than this"

World Painted Red

Who is she
it's as if her name escapes me
I don't even know who I am anymore
but I know I gotta be the friend I need the most right now
and I know I'm the only one who can save me 

Hold your head up higher
Show your spirit
I know that you're wilder when you're singing all the lyrics

Say it louder now
til I believe it
Stand up prouder now
Nothing good in life comes easy

The road outta hell
is paved with good intentions as well
and a fire in my heart
The road outta hell
takes patience
and a fight that I thought that I lost
and a fire in my heart

All that aches me 
I won't let it break me
I know the answer
I'll make it make me better again
I'll burn it all start over

Road Outta Hell

freeway

the wilhelm scream (cover)

i'll take a walk and i'll talk to myself
under a lie that could fall on itself
hold in my arms the whole thing
hold in my arms the whole heart of it

oooh, here comes the real blue
all of the warnings were true
i kinda thought that i knew
what'll i do?

and i miss you
i miss you
i miss you

oooh, i miss you
i miss you
i miss you
i miss you
i miss you

miss u

dream

Sounds from Thursday evening

holy smokes we are two ghosts
standing in an empty room
we look outside, the sun is out
and everything's in bloom
we will hold each other by the throat and never cry mercy



this song is about two people fighting and getting nowhere because each person is stubborn af

Mercy

by focusing on the negative space I can kinda see the picture clearer
and it brings out the features of our faces and it isn't an ugly picture
If I let it bother me, my face would drip down like watercolors dripping on paper
I don't wanna wonder anymore, don't wanna see you around and I don't wanna see you later
I don't wanna wonder anymore so I won't I'll just let it be
there might be a frost tonight, that's okay, the flowers will grow anyway

Picture

song i wrote in 2012, doing poorly at school and working in customer service, feeling tired


good morning, mr. monday how are you?
if there's anything i can do for you, i'd be glad to
rainy monday, you remind me that for months i've been in hiding
hallelujah time is over, silence bells and then roll over
it keeps getting worse said the empty pew to the empty church
we were strong and we were young and we were right and we were young
i worked hard and finished first said the front row seat to the teacher's teat
i wish i could i wish i could sometimes i wish that i wished i could
good morning, mr. monday, how are you?
if there's anything i can do for you, i'd be happy to
oh i knew that very well it'd be this way
oh i cannot tell you why you'd be this way
oh if i prepared you more you'd make the grade
oh if i foresaw the war i'd be prepared

bassjam :P

everything seems like a dead end with heather
everything you say doesn’t mean anything
if her break her in she’s easy
with an easy smile

i wake up calling you baby
i reach out in the night for you
i go to sleep calling myself crazy
counting time

everything seems like a dead end wth heather
if you break her in she seems easy, with an easy smile
and everything
seems like it’s such a dead end- heather

It's A Dead End With Heather

all i know

this was an experiment.
the goal was to sing or play anything that came to mind and not delete or edit any of it.

I dont know who made the instrumental to this... wasn't me.

Fall

what do you do when you've cried it all out
and there's not a drop left and you don't feel better?
what should i do now go get the mail
clip out a coupon, check on the weather

if i take a walk with nowhere to go
i'll stop in my tracks won't move anymore

if my eyes were open
guess i'd see the flowers growin
if i could see the flowers grow
guess i'd let my colors show

if i could choose i would go back to june 
of 2002 and i'd write you a letter
i see your shoes and my heart's a canoe
and i drop both the oars and i ride down the river

if i take a walk and nobody knows
i'll keep it a secret and i won't let it show
if i take a walk and nobody knows
i'll keep it a secret and i won't let em know

if i could see the flowers grow
i guess i'd let my colors show
if my colors were showin
i guess that i would want you to see them

Reflection

Finally

Wild winds move in and suddenly I feel like a child
Come through the fog in September I see you 
In dawn looms the wild

And slowly I fall
Slowly I fly over it all
What is life but that it pulls on your heart
I'm out again in the rain after dark

I'm dancing in the shadows
My soul cannot be slain
Beneath the aether I remain
Come through the fog I remember I know you
Finally we meet again

And slowly I fall
Slowly I fly over it all
What is life but that it pulls on your heart
I'm out again in the rain after dark

What is it I cannot find?
Will I see the light this time?

Soar

Nothing is forgot
Everything I thought I lost is still here
While I breathe, no need to bury me

Breathe

it's been on my mind
i wish i was just fine 
i think i'm feeling fine 
i've got time and you've got time
i have a feeling that i'll be all right




on my mind

So what if I’m a lonely soul
It’s not so bad to be alone
Sitting with my palm on my chin
Watching you come in from the rain
Is it so bad
That I admire all the fire in you 
All the sunshine in you
And if I see something sweet
I think of you 
And if it’s just my secret
I don’t mind, it’s not too heavy to keep it

Jazzy love song

You don’t have to be
Anything you wish they’d see
They don’t have to know
If they can’t already see you glow
Cut the line off feel it fade
They’ve got nothing left to say
Cut the line off feel it fade
I hope you feel like you’re on vacation babe
Let those gray skies roll away

Vacation

There's a voice inside my head that tells me I'm too afraid
Am I the only one who's waiting now for something to say
And how can I say anything when you look that way
But I wish I didn't let the moment get away
Am I in the wrong time, in the wrong place?
Loving you makes me feel so alone
And yet you being here is all I need
How can I say anything when you look that way
I'm sinking, melting into this dream
I could stay for hours right here
