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
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

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 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

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
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
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
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
