Stay 03:50
Stay I’m embarrassed by my sleeve, because my heart has made a mark Gathered thoughts connecting making puzzles in the dark Curled around don’t make much sounds yet pieced together on the ground Turns out it’s a puzzle of me chasing you around Woe is me, chasing you around I try each time, to keep my cool, but the summer heat gets in the way And since I’ve got you here today All I want to say is stay I’m impatient and indulgent and not very quick to learn I got straight for the fire instead of building up the burn If patience was delivered, well it got the wrong address And spit out on the road somewhere and virtue made a mess The past and future is done with me and I have to regrets I know that I have filled it well, with love and laughter, drugs and liquor sex and cigarettes I try each time, with all my might, but you ignite my indulgent side Since we’re living for the now today All I want to say is stay

Let The Credits Roll Sometimes I feel like I’m, I’m living in a cartoon. Life is inching frame by frame Got to flip those pages to make it move I go out of my mind, out of my mind When I’ve got to much time to contemplate If every word you’ve ever fed me Was served on china or paper plate It’s just too late, oh let the credits roll It’s just too late, you can’t re-edit and it’s been sold Too late, oh let the credits roll It’s just too late we need to be our own leading roles Sometimes I feel like I’m, I’m living in a cartoon Walk beyond a cliff that’s gone, look down to realize I’ll be falling soon I go out of my mind, spinning inside I’ve got birds and stars and all those drawings But Lady Jane Mirtazapine’s been keeping me moving and stopped my crying It’s just too late, oh let the credit roll It’s just too late, you can’t re edit and it’s been sold Too late, oh let the credits roll, It’s just too late, we need to be our own leading roles

The One You Call Home Thought I knew myself so well, but I’ve lost control over myself No this ain’t me, I’m another strange breed Feel like I should change my name, how I wish I could blow out this flame Distinguish what I want from what I need…what I need..what I need. Wishing I could conquer this, as these words are spilling from my lips.. Let me be the one, you call home. We can be a couple rolling stones Your eyes can be my porch light and my ears can be your telephone Your easy chair, your comfort, your home Let me be the one, why can’t I be the one, let me be the one you call home It’s a complex thing, not a game of two, but my pillow it still smells of you You break me down and I am such a fool for you I’ll get over this in time and I’ll have other words to rhyme You're clouding up my brain, that once was mine OH why the fuck, do I feel so stuck, oh you hit me like a Mac truck And now my bearings are all upside down How do you break me down, how do you break me down To my finest hour, to a fine powder Wishing I could get through this, as these words are spilling from my lips Let me be the one you call home, we can be a couple rolling stones….I am such a fool. Let me be the one you call home……home.

Drive 03:27
Drive Drive me home in pieces tonight I’ll take up all the seats and creases, if that’s alright Moving faster than my feet can fly Wishing I could leave some of this behind And just drive by, and just drive by Drive me home in pieces tonight I’ll take only what I need, to get by I’m far beneath the height of a plane ride And I’m down below these waves touching moonlight Can we drive, can we drive by Can we drive, can we drive by
5.
House Of Cards I’m a house of cards. Barely know the chords on my guitar Think I’m moving on with ease I’ve been building up in fear of the breeze I don’t tread with ease And my pains they come in spades oh oh and there piercing through my better days And these many many heavy hearts Are weighing down these many heavy walls Of this house of cards And inside me are many Jokers and Jacks Trying to have fun and chase down laughs But I’d send out all my Kings and Queens To beg of you to not leave me Leave me here so completely Beg of you to not leave me So bring on the breeze Think you’re going through this alone Well you have soaked in through my bones And this house of cards that appears so strong Knows it used to be a home Bring on the breeze

Mahalo Blues 03:06
Mahalo Blue Always made it on my own Never needed to be someone’s Did it once, did it twice, did it three times I thought it be nice But no I aint gonna chase on after you Not with my guitar cuz my shoulders are already bruised No I aint gonna chase on after you When you think you’re on empty, you’ve got a little more to lose Now I stand here on my own There’s no one on the telephone Feeling empty deep inside Feel a heavy as my soul divides But no I aint gonna chase on after you Not with my guitar cuz my shoulders are already bruised No I aint gonna chase on after you So just leave me with my Mahalo Blue

Freedoms Emotion Humming a tune over you It’s a wordless feeling, it's freedoms emotion And right now it’s walking me home And it’s walking me home increasing my high Rising up the building and power lines Oh and my shadow is tagging along If it takes the time, to walk me to my door Will it color my dreams tonight If it lingers on and it pulls me in for more Will I let it in to sing….it’s lullaby Humming a tune over you It’s a wordless feeling, it’s freedoms emotion And right now it’s walking me home And it’s walking me home through the pavement And the stone Oh this feeling won’t leave me alone And it’s walking me home

Bittersweet 03:00
Bitter Sweet Want to hold you tight, every time you play and you sing You don’t know that I’m the kite, flying high while you hold the string You bitter sweet thing, a festival and funeral found as one Making my heart ring, while parades of clouds feast on the sun But you eased my mind In a dream one time It’s all that I can find Searching to sooth my soul, with a little Ray Charles Oh to unchain my heart, sighing tired but I’ve barely ran that far Want to hold you tight, every time your doing your thing But it seems when I do the same, all my songs turn into questionings But you eased my mind In a dream one time It’s all that I can find Want to hold you tight every time you play and you sing You don’t know that I’m the kite flying high while you hold the string But you eased my mind, in a dream one time It’s all that I can find

Collateral 02:43
Collateral Well I don’t have that much to show As far as my collateral Got two guitars some paintings and things Seems that’s not what you’re looking for You like a girl that’s searching more Through highs and lows and flapping her wings You make me feel light, you make me feel light Like a soft and gentle ease Like an accidental breeze Like a paper plane landing like a bird in your seas You make me feel light, you make me feel light Like a soft and gentle ease Like an accidental breeze Like a paper plane landing like a bird in your seas Sea And I’m slowly uncovering the burden And I’m slowly opening the curtain I was fueling the fire when we met I was wired and tired and barely ate You reminded me that beer isn’t food Can’t let my body fall apart, you seem to calm this anxious heart From red into purple and purple into blue Cause you make me feel light, you make me feel light Like a soft and gentle ease Like an accidental breeze Like a paper plane landing like a bird in your seas You make me feel light, you make me feel light Like a soft and gentle ease Like an accidental breeze Like a paper plane landing like a bird in your seas Sea And I’m slowly uncovering the burden And I’m slowly opening the curtain Well I don’t have that much to show As far as my collateral Got two guitars some paintings and things

In Fractions 03:49
In Fractions I’ve got to get this off my chest On the wings of my guitar my soul finds rest As my mentor Parker he would sing and say: ‘I just want a teeny weeny bit of your love’ But I guess that teeny bit was just too much For your soul to try divide and take Well I see life in fractions, this is my reaction Just the way I’m livin’ these days Cause I see life in fractions, this my reaction You’ll never things the same way I’ve got to get this off my chest Before this thing it takes my best Cause you got your , I got mine And our friendship is so genuine So I’ve got to get you off my brain Turn off the light under your name As far as that side of thing are concerned Got to let it burn, burn down Let it burn down, down Cause I see life in fractions, this is my reaction Just the way I’m livin’ these days Well I see life in fractions, this my reaction I guess this is the price I pay

Blinders On 05:00
Blinders On Yeah you played the game and you had me convinced Called me up the next day right after we kissed Weeks getting higher and higher so blessed Made me believe that this was something I missed Had me believe this was something that I missed Well I should have watched for the signs all along That your equation was adding up wrong So don’t be surprised if you slipped into my song Some beautiful women put your blinders on Put your blinders on Put your blinders on Some beautiful, some beautiful women Put your blinders. Put your blinders on. You turned me on then you turned on to me Spent days in bed then the next one to see Packed up all your issues with a carry-on to flee I drank a few days now I’m back to being free Drank a few days now I’m back to being me, free Well I should have watched for the signs all along That your equation was adding up wrong So don’t be surprised if you slipped into my song Some beautiful women put your blinders on Put your blinders on Put your blinders on Some beautiful, yeah beautiful women Put your blinders. Put your blinders on. I hope to hell that I’ve learned something new Put my heart in a crate for the next ingénue Some complex and kind, some smiles yet blue Thought you where ready but your heart lied to you Thought you were ready but your heart lied to you Cause I should have watched for the signs all along That your equation was adding up wrong Don’t be surprised if you slipped into my song Some beautiful women put your blinders on Put your blinders on Put your blinders on Cuz this Dynamite’s got fuses All these songs are built on muses This is one flame from the many that have sparked Leaving reminisces that I still find in the dark And I don’t regret the short ones or the longs I just feel this time, I may have left my blinders on Blinders on Left my blinders on On
