the Ant Song
1996

There's an ant in dissolution, Watch it wonder on the ground.
And I see it's going nowhere, neither lost nor to be found.
I feel its full frustration, as I look up at the sky,
'Cause I sometimes wonder, if I'll even have the time.

I sit and look out of the window, I see and hear the world outside.
I feel the cold air rush to greet me, see the gray clouds fill her skies.
So I look to the future, not the world I leave behind,
'Cause I sometimes wonder, if I'll even have the time.

Now the end to this illusion, you said those words to fade my frown.
Empty words to tell a story, keep my head up as I drown.
I'll still look to the future, and not the world I leave behind.
'Cause I sometimes wonder, if I'll even have the time.

Are You Listening?
1997

I once believed inside of you, seeing things remembered
When the power trip went off, I didn't mean a single word I said

What did you say? I thought I heard you whisper
My ears deceive me so I could not listen
But are you listening ?

All the sunny days are swearing grief of me, and their time is
Long and gone
With me given things I cannot see, you've given me all that I
Need.

Bohemian Beatnik
1998

"Forgive me mom", I heard him say. "You're precious son has passed away. No more need hold tears in your eyes, both weak
and strong, we all must die."

At times he tipped toed through his life
Imbibed and laughed into the night
But pain came it became so clear
Some wounds exist, that even time can't heal

To live alive, but all alone. Steep price for pride, years on his own.
Set off to find the great unreal. A destiny no fate could seal.

This all may seem a bit extreme
His dirty hands are now washed clean
"On with this noose" I heard him scream
That "In this world, there is no place for me"
TOP

Broken Bottled Kisses
1996

I walk with fire, burden as my treat
Pain melts my conscious, my private hell retreat

Broken bottled kisses, your words cannot repair
Take this bundle from me, its weight I cannot bare

Burned by desire, I thought I felt in love
So filled with passion, given verdict from above

I need some absolution, a cleansing of my soul
some tangible redemption, a way to fill this hole

A cleansing of my soul

Circle in the Clouds
June 29, 2007

Shaped to mold that nothing, as we watch ourselves drip into,
The drain of greed and power, step outside and take a chance now.

On run the "dogs" to cover, afraid to face the wood and chains
Given not for pleasure, only to calm us from our fears.

Pre-Chorus
For the sake of the sun, the rains won't stop me now
I'll sweep it all away and clear this film of grey somehow.

Chorus
(and) Breath the air, feel a breeze, always blowing here around
From the heart into dreams, that no longer turns about
Broken wings, falling free, I'll have to pick it from the ground up
I’m so happy to see, A Circle in the Clouds.

Shaped to mold that nothing, as we watch ourselves drip into,
The drain of greed and power, step outside and take a chance now.

Chorus
(and) Breath the air, feel a breeze, always blowing here around
From the heart into dreams, that no longer turn about
Broken wings, falling free, I'll have to pick it from the ground up
I’m so happy to see, A Circle in the Clouds.

Day Dream'n
December 2005

Day Dream'n, rolling around, naked on your bed
Head trip'n, thinking about, all the words you said
When you said "I'm going home"
You broke my heart, I'm going home

It's getting hard to remember, the way you felt, pressed against my skin
How can I wash away this sorrow, when there is no alcohol, to feed my head?
I'm falling out, I'm going down

Down to the place that we go just to hide away,
Let's ride we'll stay for awhile
Forget all our worries and regrets from yesterday
Moments archived/carved out in time

Day Dream'n, rolling around, naked on the floor
How can you say that you don't even know, which way to go?
Or even travel down this road.

Down to the place that we go just to hide away,
Let's ride we'll stay for awhile
Forget all our worries and regrets from yesterday
Moments archived/carved out in time

Day Dream'n, rolling around, naked in my head

The Devil Over Coffee
September 2008

I met the devil over coffee.
We hit it off, she was so charming.
With her smile, she disarmed me,
Poisoned me, leaving me for dead.

Then turned her back and walked right out on me.
Her cold black heart is all you left for me.
Wrapped it up, inside our memories,
With the lie, that you were meant for me.

I’ll walk this empty street without you.
No longer waste my thoughts about you.
And I see, you’ve found your peace,
Leaving me, struggling to breathe.

The devil now drinks her brew without me
With some new found chumps, she’ll bind, then cast to sea.
In their eyes, I’ll share this sorrow
But relieved/ With relief
“Thank God it isn’t me.”

Dear Lily
2000

Will I look into your eyes, many years from now, I pray, Oh Lord away!
Will we look into one sky, many years from now, I pray, Oh Lord I pray…
Will we laugh and share the sky, many years from now, I pray, Oh Lord I Pray…

Refrain
Away! Away! I’m afraid, I’ve gone so far away.
Away! I await! And afraid, I’ve gone so far away.

Will the sun-shine from your smile, melt the clouds that leave me Blind,
I’ve fallen Blind.

Why do I cash out borrowed time? Can’t feel you near, want to hear your cry!
I’ve gone so far away.

Chorus
Please forgive me now, I wasn’t there to guide you,
Open arms now feel my blood bleed/breath deep inside you.

One day you will look into the sky, many years from know and find,
I’m not so far away.

Then brush the tear-drops from your face, wide-open arms you can’t embrace,
I’ve gone so far away.

Chorus
Please forgive me now, I wasn’t there to guide you,
Open arms now feel my blood bleed/breath deep inside you.

Down the Road
October 2005

Take away the friction now, we're heading to a bar on down the road
To the place where fairies Dance, to the music, liquor flows on down your throat
On down the throat, we throw. On down the road, we go
Back on Down the Road

Light the lanterns of your mind, though your eyes, the lightning shines on down the road
Some we meet, in disbelief, open arms and greet, then walk on down the road
On down the road, we flow. On down the road, we grow.
Back on Down the Road

Now I stand and I stare at the stars
Thinking on how I've made it this far
All the laughs and the cries, All the kisses goodbye
Open arms I'm embracing it all

All the answers that you seek to the questions that you ask, live on down the road
In the end with dreams of one, take a hand and run on toward the sun.
On toward the sun, we run. After the sun, we'll run
Back on Down the Road

Green Eyes With You
December 27. 2010

So I raise my arms high, open heart to the sky
Tried to pick myself up, broken now back to front
Wo, these feelings won’t die

You’ve left me in black, I’m beaten, I’m blue
As you race to the end, all I ask my dear friend,
Take those green eyes with you

Must have hit the bar low, or a flat sour note
But please don’t get up, sure I’m not good enough
I’ll just show my way out.

And day after day, I’ll keep losing my way
Though I’m not giving up, there’s some truth, I feel stuck
With nothing clever to say

Chorus

With time marching on, I lament in these songs
As the tea kettle whistles, beat blistering viscous
And moves me along

And memories like dreams, our past lost it seems
With a lonely conviction, I march forth in vision
And find my way out

Insane to Save
04-15-2011

I had just turned away, feeling the tears in your eyes
With my heart broke and weak, your sweet lips I must tell you goodbye

I’m not heartless I swear I just lost my own way
Couldn’t deal with the pain, that I feel everyday
Wandered off of a path even God would not save me

Felt the weight of your world, crush me and squeeze me inside
Tried to open myself but I just turn away run and hide

Then go straight for the throat cause I’d hope to be free
Just a last minute reach from the caveman in me
Forced off of the rail even God cannot save me

Cruel foolish world
Cruel foolish life

Now I march through the night, these demons they claw from each side
Howling winds from their screams, destined to burn of the fire

Orphaned soul set to roam, all alone we fall free
Void of love, life and hope and forsaken our dreams
Falling off of the road even God will not save me

TOP

So what to think?
Just train your eyes on spirits in the sky
And for the day
Let loose a little light still held inside
And forge away, and forge away, into this life
Then find a way, and find our way, into the light

In ten thousand days
Will you stand beside me when it rains?
What if we lose
Good intentions now stagnation, trials and fools
That lost their way, and lost their ways, into the night
Another day, and not that way, we’ll run into the light
And find a way, and find away, in through this life
Then find a way, and find our way, into the light

Journey On A Tractor Wagon
1996

Life sucked for me this day, I sometimes feel this way,
Lost my relation to this world
From time to time I've been believing, just cast a stone, could use
Some healing. Why don't we look out past these walls?

Now I search this world for truths worth seeking, Sometimes in thought
I delve to deeply, that's when I go and get real high.
Then my time just drifts Away, to warm thoughts of sunny days,
These are some things I hope to find...

Living out real journey's with my mind,
Seeking all the things I need to find,
Casting out my demons from inside,
On a one way expedition into time.

This day I hold the setting sun, it fades to black, its day is done.
So will this happen to us all.
Now clear dear Lord this man's confusion, lift the cloak from this
Illusion, and set him free so he won't fall.

Liberty Lost
August 04, 2006

So Beautiful
For amber waves of grain
That once held up the light for those of foreign lands
A place for dreams, a getaway

Pre-Chorus

Twins a fire came crumbling down
Hate and fear grew all around
And the weary candleholder's flame burned out

From a loud roar to a whisper
I have seen this vision fail
The land once held aloft, with God's own mighty hands
Fell off the Earth's sad face

Pre-Chorus

Then I took a look around
All the smoke cleared out
I could see the buildings burning, screams cried out!

Chorus

Where have you gone, my greatest friend?
Why did you hide, When the bombs brought down the walls?

Refrain

And with its passing marks an end to a dream
We owe it to them, by their lives free
And now with growing threat, security, liberty?

Chorus

Where have you gone? My greatest friend
Why did you hide? When the bombs brought down the walls

Refrain

And with this passing marks an end to a dream
They paid it forward gave their lives we live free
And now with growing threat, security, liberty?
 

Where have you gone? / Why did you run? My greatest/ Oh fearless friend
Why/Where did you hide? When the bombs brought down the walls

Live a Parade!
1998

They say NO! Not even looking our way
Winding up his thoughts, He then continued to say
When there's HOPE! Time get out of my way
Keeping this in mind, you will live a parade

Now there's Pain, It slowly etches away
Stronger now then than then, traveling on separate in waves
So we GROW! Into one with our days
Sometimes pushed around, but always standing our stays

I want to feel like I do
You go and feel the way you do
My game I'll Play it my way
You're game you live it as you choose

They Say NO! Not even knowing our ways
Winding up his thoughts, he then continues to say
When there's HOPE! Time get out of my way
Keeping this in mind, you will LIVE A PARADE!!!

Moving On
October 08, 2008

When I woke up the next morning I felt the sadness fall on me,
And I closed my eyes to questions and I prayed it just a dream.
I’m moving on…

Then I stepped into the shower and I tried to fight away the tears
And I let the water’s healing warmth wash away my fears.
I’m moving on…

Guitar Solo

And the days they passed so slowly at times I thought I’d lose my mind,
And I waited on a text from you but I never heard that chime.
I’m moving on…

Refrain
When I look past all the many times that you let me down,
Those days are gone and won’t be here tomorrow.

When I see all the many times that you made me cry,
Why so hard to even say “I love you”?

So I looked down at the spaces where your fingers used to be,
And I closed my hand so tightly squeezed that space right out of me.
I’m moving on…

Now I look out past the ocean feel the sand beneath my feet,
And I see the sun’s reflection one set of footprints behind me.
I’m moving on…
