LYRICS

People often ask where they can find lyrics, so I compiled ten years worth of songs into one location! I even included some of the tunes I consider to be 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.

Quit Hanging Out With Those Friends

12/18/2018

1. quit hanging out with those friends
they mess with your reputation
as long as they keep judging
what they think is a sin
i just can't stand for them

2. quit letting them spoil your name
don't you feel like you're being framed? 
they shoot you like bullets of blame
and i don't like their aim
don't you feel the same? 

3. i'd love it if you could come back
not just airplanes and panic attacks
i just don't think that it would last
considering our past
so i don't even ask

4. they say every day that they serve you
they're lying cause they got the nerve to
make me feel like i don't deserve you
i got no one to turn to
god dammit i urge you

5. to quit hanging out with those friends
they mess with your reputation
i don't like to give ultimatums
but i fuckin' hate 'em
why'd you even create 'em? 

quit hanging out with those friends

Halloween Since 2016 (boo)

10/30/2018

(To the tune of "Lil' Red Riding Hood" by Sam Sham and the Pharaohs)

​it's been halloween ever since 2016
trump makes freddy seem like a nice daydream (boo)
talk about doom & gloom when you can't afford the emergency room
and you're terrified w/ chills cause your wages won't pay the bills
what big lies they tell
i'd rather live at the bates motel
than watch my country slip away
to the nra & the kkk
what big hypocrites
getting rich for the apocalypse
i gotta say, it's a scary day
now that putting kids in cages is the christian way
it's been halloween ever since 2016
trump makes freddy seem like a nice daydream (boo)
talk about horrifying putting predators in power and ignoring science
when every fox news line sends a shiver up & down my spine (boo)
what big lies they have
i'd rather jason chase me in a hockey mask
than watch rights get stripped away
for brown, trans, female, homeless, poor, or gay
what big hypocrites
placing blame on the journalists
aspiring to be like our enemies
& conspiring to murder our democracy
it's been halloween ever since 2016
trump makes freddy seem like a nice daydream (boo)
here's what we're gonna do listen up now i'm talking to you
this red's gonna kill us dead so please vote blue

Once Smitten Twice Shy

2/28/2017

asking you to think of me sounds so absurd
girl i could never work up the nerve
your lightning smiles and thunder eyes are elements i crave
but i could never bring myself to brave
 
cooked up some big plans for you and i
they’re burning up like a pie in the sky
we're not getting anywhere but goodbye
once smitten i’m twice shy

 
i could be the one to give love like you deserve
but honey i could never work up the nerve
dreams of us superfluous in this reality
being conscious of you made a coward of me

Lights Out

2/21/2017

0 Comments

 
her life was a boxing ring
she never took off her gloves
she never stopped swinging
not even for love
 
from the very first swing to the very last round
she boxed her way in, she boxed her way out
i never got too close, i never knew how
everything's different with the lights out

 
her faith was a lonely home
she never took off from that place
she never looked out the window
not even to see my face
 
from the very first brick to the very last grout
she boxed her way in, she boxed her way out
i never got too close, i never knew how
everything's different with the lights out

Take Charge of Our World

11/12/2016

*written to the tune of “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid
 
i guess it's trump, what a crushing defeat
can't believe he's allowed in the president's seat
can't everyone see he's an ass - an ass who hates everything?
look at his team, dangers untold
how many disasters can one cabinet hold?
somebody pass me a drink, at this point i’ll drink anything
 
he hates brown people, gays, the disabled
he hates women and science and more
i was sure no one thought he was able
i was wrong, now I'm scared, of what's in store
 
i wanna be where the sheeple aren't
i wanna see humanity advancing
exercising your, what do you call it? oh - brain
grabbing pussies got trump this far
not paying taxes or his employees
bragging about, what's that word again? rape
sexual assault is not fucking fun, just ask his victims, every last one
the jock gets away and the best we can say:
rape's just part of our world
 
what would i give if i could live where people were smarter?
not pray away gay, or get in the way of a parenthood planned
don't you understand this is a man who has objectified his daughter? still there are women who voted him in, it's unreal as his tan
 
i'm not ready to reap what the people sow
we've got some questions, let's find the answers
starting with lessons we've already, i don't know…learned
when's it our turn? we know what we need:
to live in a land ruled by love and not greed
out of the debris, how about you and me take charge of our world?

Deep Dark Down

i might as well be a shovel the way i bury hurt
dig a hole where the pain goes then i cover it with dirt
i might as well be a faucet the way i handle pain
let it run til the hurting's done, watch it circle down the drain
til nothing remains
 
ashes to ashes, dust to dust
all my thoughts of us rot into rust
i never got my last wish, you never came around
you just vanished in the deep, dark, down

 
you might as well be a stranger in some far off galaxy
off you go in your ufo, ain't no way we're gonna meet
you might as well be a shipwreck, sinking in your fate
terrorized by the stormy skies now the waves won't hold your weight it's just too late
 
what a blurry bitter bond
what a quiet final bell
do i let go of holding on?
guess i might as well

Not a Boy

6/4/2016

0 Comments

 
here comes the bride all dressed in white
and the biggest grin anyone's ever seen her wearing,
it's a million miles wide
a couple empty chairs cause you're not there
but she's brave enough to pass them up
because she knows love's waiting for her on the other side
 
you won't see her smile on her wedding day
walk her down the aisle, give her away
you won't know her joy, hear her vow
i am not a boy
that changes things somehow

 
here comes the bride, still quite surprised
that the woman waiting for me just so happens to adore me
and she wants to be my wife
those empty chairs, they're hard to bear
but there's love in the air and I'm still going to swear
to love her for the rest of her life
 
love is louder than any silencing
i am not a boy, and that don't change a thing

Cheese Enchiladas

6/1/2015

you wick away the water
before you step out of the shower
you lather on the lotion
for about a thousand hours
 
i soak up these scenes and small routines
all the little things you do
just when i thought you gave me everything
you give me something new to love about you

 
you love cheese enchiladas
and candies with words written on them
you make sure i’m tucked in tight
before you leave me in the morning

Didn't I Say?

4/3/2015

I will pretend she is your friend
fantasy’s ideal for me
I will pretend she is your friend
reality is killing me

 
didn’t i say if you live this way
I will never approve?
didn’t I say if you live this way
god will take heaven from you?
didn't I say if you live this way
you’re turning your back on the truth?
thank god for unconditional love or how else
how could I make myself love a sinner like you?
 
didn’t you think about what I thought
did you not think about my belief?
didn’t you try to get by on a diet of guilt and grief?
didn’t you know the way you chose to grow?
now i can’t say I’m proud of how you grew
thank god for unconditional love or how else
could I make myself love a daughter like you?

Last Name

lately i’ve been thinking bout your skin
sweet and soft and brown just like cinnamon
daily daydream for night to come and stay
i wanna feel your body take my breath away
 
i’m painting pictures of you in my head dame
i hang those pictures of you in my bed frame
the moon looks so good on you, i’ll never see it the same
the only thing you’d wear better is my last name

 
i love to hear you say your m’s and o’s
i love the way i feel you in my toes
your loving’s like a well, bottomless and deep
always touching even when we sleep
 
i must have done something right
in my last life
to get to lay by your side
