Create-

I’m a man of few words
I rest my head and turn down the lighting
Just listen to the song
And focus on the writing

I reached but didn’t make it
How many times do I have to say so
Before the ringing that begun with you
Will finish its toll and go

Talent and wisdom
Foresight and intuition
None of them matter 
Damn my imagination

But you could let it all go
You don’t need this burden
But you keep it close 
All that’s left is uncertain

Fly in the winds of change
Use, manipulate, tell
Affect everything around me
Paint a picture of your hell

We are the keepers
We are the mystery makers
We are the songwriters
We are the givers

Laying Awake (Thinking)-

As much as I want to slip away
To a world void of thoughts and pain
As much as I want to regain 
What today has drained
I cannot

It haunts me as I lay in bed 
It keeps the clearing from my head
It judges me and pulls me awake
And all this for whose sake?

I no longer know 
What keeps me from sleep

A Pleasant Summer Evening-

It’s ten o’clock in the evening
Nothing was happening over there
So I came back home and the dog was barking
He looked at me with that lonely stare

So we went for a walk
Looking for a restful night

Walking through my past and future
Live life in every adventure

Walk by a place I should never have passed by
Walk into the darkness and inside I cry

I stop to reflect and listen to the howling of the pleasant dark summer night
It whispers, tells me things I never should hear but want more than anything despite
I look around see myself in the dark in the dark in the night in the night and I fight to be right 
But I keep being pushed back I’m torn the cool summer evening has me by the heart

And I find my favorite song
And sing it all the way home

Red and Blue in my Rearview Mirror-

Red and blue in my rearview
And all I see is you

My entire nothing dissolves in one moment
It all comes tumbling down
Red and blue in my rearview
Authority will put you underground

All I know is what will be lost
Red and blue in my rearview
I’ve played the life now I pay the cost
Take me back to the preview

You killed me 
Now bury me
Red and blue in my rearview
In no time at all, I’ll be free

Red and blue 
Red and blue 

The blinking comes in slow flashes
The life around me passes

I’m taken to the place I was before
Nowhere and that’s where I found this door
Leads me to a world of lore 
A room with you and nothing more

Love Gone Awry-

I know you are better than me 
That’s why no one else compares
All I have to run on are my memories
Does true love just bring despair?

Say no, SAY NO!
And please don’t run away

When we are alone
And I don’t mean on the phone
Everything is just right
That’s the only reason I fight

Against life and death 
Against time and space
When we share one breath
Or even when I see your face

People change 
But I still love you

People change 
But I still love you

Say no, SAY NO!
And please don’t run away

To Fall-

So I learned how to latch 
And soon after, how to let go
And fall
And fall
Deeper
And Deeper
And now I’m on this downward spiral FUCK YOU! You told me 
To keep on trying and whatever I want could be mine, and now 
You’ve built me up, but it wasn’t on the ground and now I am Falling apart

I cannot see life at face value
I cannot believe we are all alone
So I take the world
Into my mind
And make it what I will

Always deeper 
Always deeper 

I’m latching on
I’m latching on
I’m a fucking leech
I’m a parasite

Tell me that it isn’t so
I only want to hear it from you
And tell me you love me too

Just People, In General-

Your mind has closed down on me
It’s so narrow I can’t get through

I cannot believe 
We are no longer one
I do know that from this side of the moon
The Earth is a setting sun

Why play it with distortion,
When acoustic will do just fine?
When you want to go home
But there’s nothing to look forward to this time

Remember when I used to come over
To your house, down the street
Walk by the place you live
Hoping for a chance to meet

Now the further I am
The better I understand

But love is like faith
To be far away is to know
But to be close is to understand

Metropolis-

The large buildings stand like tombstones
Marking thoughts and dreams long forgotten
The sounds of sirens piercing deeply 
Without the love I share with you

The people moving quickly from one place to another
God shall wipe away all their tears
I can’t take it alone
And the stars-
Darkened by the light I’ve made

The balconies and alleys
Sing a song that’s true

All trains flowing- down the central drain
Without the love I share with you
Everything becomes different 
When you’re sitting next to me
I love everything around me
And I see the city’s beauty
Top


Keep it Together-

My eyes are open 
To the world around me
But the only place I want to use them
Is to hear your beauty 

We are two vibrating waves 
In the symphony of life

We are a harmony

Keep it together 
Keep it together
You don’t know why 
Keep it in synch
We can’t know why

We are two vibrating waves 
In the symphony of life

Keep it together
You don’t know why
Keep it together
Don’t break up and cry

We are two vibrating waves 
In the symphony of life

We are a harmony 

Keep it together
Don’t break down and cry

When the Lights go out in Zion-

You can never start over again
So see the world without time
When the lights go out in Zion
I cannot make you mine

The darkness found me
But not where I could see
Don’t let her fool you
Demons lurk in the greatest beauty

When the lights go out in Zion
I wander in the darkness

You are everywhere
You are everything
Yet, you are nothing
But when nothing knows
And nothing gives me hope
Everything knows
Everything gives me hope

I hope for you

It’s the Little Things Dear- 

Like rain falling on tired feet

Like the sun shining warm

Like a night swim in summer

Like a piano playing songs for you


Like the first snowfall in winter

Like the thrill of skiing down a mountain

Like the mystery of the fire

Like a piano playing songs for you


Like a garden in full bloom

Like spices used very well

Like anything anywhere

Like a piano playing songs for you

Stop Looking at Nothing-

Could I ever love another?
To start a new life?
I am who I am so- 
No, I’ll keep this strife

I could listen to this song forever
And believe me I have been
It drives me crazy to see you looking 
And never finding me

Stop wandering so pointlessly
I’ve been there, you only tumble
Please come home before 
I lose it and crumble

To all you who have moved on
You have never loved as I
All I see is that moon
In the dark night sky
That’s a lie

Autumn Coming Soon-

Autumn coming soon
Autumn coming soon
All that could be
Autumn coming soon
And when you left me
As winter came 
As winter came
Autumn coming soon
As I’ve never been anywhere but you
As winter came 
As winter came
Autumn coming soon
And it’s when I decided to leave
Autumn coming soon
There until home I came
Autumn is there
Autumn is pain
Autumn is hope
Autumn means rain
Autumn is you
Christ, Autumn means pain
Summer innocence- lost and gone forever
Now instead of with you
I live in winter’s game
Lost until reborn in terrible spring
I don’t want to lose you
Because I don’t want to lose me

And the Night Shall Turn to Day-

This is not the place we’re looking for
So we ride
We ride
We ride

Like the coming of the tide
We ride

I see you leaving
And I see myself falling
From Grace 

And once again
I see the darkness set down
Upon my face

Stuck in a hole
Stuck in disease
Stuck in discomfort
Stuck on my knees

I look up at the sky
And see melancholy

Long and cold 
And restless it has been
I see myself in you
A long time since I’ve seen

The storm lasted all night
But now it’s morning
And with you at my side 
The sun is warming

You are light
And I feel my pain
Slipping away 
Gone with the night

I look up at the sky
Now I see your face
It’s hard for me to write 
This emotion is out of place

We are one
We are home
Tonight we won’t sleep
We’ll dream
