LYRICS

People often ask where they can find lyrics, so I compiled 10+ years worth of songs into one location! I even included some of the tunes I consider to be hot garbage clunkers, just for the fun of documenting the journey. If you'd like to support my songwriting, please download my music on iTunes, add songs to your Spotify Playlists, subscribe to my Youtube channel, and/or purchase physical copies of CDs wherever possible. These contributions help me sustain my career as an independent artist.

Fox and Hound

Verse: E B A E
Chorus: A Am E // B A E
​
sit still, don't breathe
this is how you leave, you have been deceived
nostrils flare, scared eyes
you can't event cry, you are paralyzed
 
the fleeting fox, the hunting hound
chase each other around
was it real, or just pretend?
tell me this isn't all there is to being a friend

 
deceased, you feast
tell me how i taste at least
pursed lips, time drips
what a winning waste of a losing grip
 
detect, report
truth and lies distort, where's my life support
refuge, refugee
this is how you flee - showing no mercy

Face Down, Quicksand

she wants to be vetted
but she fails the exam
she loves being petted
but she bites with poison glands
 
she just let it all fall through her hands
i know where she’s headed
face down, quicksand

 
she wants to take credit
but she sinks where she stands
she’d rather be shredded
than tear up “god’s plan”

Capo 2, shapes:
Verse: Amaj7 Bm7 Bm7 Amaj7
Chorus: F7 Amaj7 F7 Amaj7 F7 Amaj7 F7 G7
Bridge: Amaj7 Bm7 C#m D (change to Dm7 end of second time)


i'll wage war if there's a war worth fighting for
if there's a war worth fighting for, i'll be the victor
i'll call it quits if my efforts are fruitless
if my efforts are fruitless, i will surrender

somewhere in between reality and a dream
somewhere in between wrong and right
i'm meddling in the middle of these things
i've found i find myself between
fight and flight

i'll settle down if it will plant me in the ground
if it will plant the ground, i'll have roots to cherish
i'll float away if it will spread me into space
if it will spread me into space i will not perish

Forever For Now

*co-written with Veronica May
Verse: root G F#m F Em
Chorus: C D Em // (even if forever... F pass through E to G)
Bridge: same as verse
 
i daydream of the day when you say dear, i'm sorry
cause i remember more than you could know
nightmares turn to tangible truths and i remember
that no one feels safe around you

i never wanted to say the word never (never)
but sometimes something's got to change somehow (ooh)
it hurts me but i have to say forever (it's better)
even if forever is for now


 i daydream of the day when i can say mom, i'm pregnant
cause i remember fondly you're fond of children
but dreams turn into nightmares when i remember
no child will you love more than (your child is a piece of) God

forgiveness, come find me soon
protection do the same
traveling through the brain and heart
but it arrives in the same vein

Force

Drop D, Capo 2 D shapes:
Verse:
root D C# G (or 5th fret E string that is dropped and capod lol)

Chorus: root E D E F // (you're a force) E F#m G A C# D

still don’t know what made you switch your stance
still don’t know what made you stop resisting me
pretty clear you’ll always wear the pants
but don’t i get credit for persisting?
 
every morning I’m impressed by your beauty and my happiness
pinch me, let me know we really exist
nervous as i always feel, i’m comfortable in skirt and heels
you’re a force i want to reckon with
 
searched every word coming out your mouth
needing reassurance you reciprocate
finally found a way to feel you out
your feelings are your fingers, i’m the chord shape
 
every night i’m not as scared that i’ll wake up and you won’t be there
pinch me, till i know we really exist
nervous as i always am, I’ll learn to listen through my hands
you’re a force i want to reckon with

Fancy Shoes

Verse: G Em C D G
Chorus: C D G C (shoes away C D G)
Bridge: Am C G D

if i only had a brain, i wouldn't have gone insane
i wouldn't have said such stupid things
i'm grasping at straws up here, there's nothing between my ears
i'm scared of the silence it brings

i lost my family, i lost my friends
to falling branches and howling winds
i lost my home to inclement weather
i keep on clicking my heels together
but fancy shoes won't kick my blues away


if i only had a heart today, i'd pump the bad blood away
put it in a box made of tin
i'd clean it out, oil it well, place it high upon a shelf
never let it get hurt again

if i only had the nerve to find what i deserve
to seek what i'm after
there'd be sorrow no more, i'd let out a roar
i'd let out the laughter
