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.

Money Stacks and Body Bags

4/18/2020

1. we're shitting bricks
we're spitting mad
we're restless and exhausted
we're grateful but so sad
you worship money
cash is your church
and your god's the easter bunny
if rent's due on the first

CH
you're corrupt just look at the destruction
you never gave a fuck about us
don't you come back no more
hit the road jack
put your money stacks
 in the body bags
don't ya come back no more


2. i post my privileged protest
from the unemployment line
do you like my brand new soapbox
i got it on amazon prime
contagious convenience
continuous corporate news
freedom turns to greed cause
if you're poor or your brown
you don't get to choose

CH

br. 
maybe it's too late and
we got it cause we asked for it
baby here's your hell in a 
trump-branded casket
or maybe we are right on time
with fresh air to breathe
and we'll build something much better
if you just fucking leave

The Magic's In Me

6/20/2018

0 Comments

 
i’ve been reading all the signs on the wall
i’ve been staring at the stars in the sky
i’ve been wondering if this road leads anywhere at all
if it ended in demise, i would not be surprised
but that doesn’t mean i’m not willing to fight
i’m calling all the strength in me i need to survive
there’s a fire in me i just need to ignite
i’ve been fumbling in the dark, looking for a spark of light

it’s in the sunrise, It’s in the sunset it’s in the thrill of the unknown
every heartache, every mistake it’s in our blood, it’s in our bones
every sand of desert, every strand of hair the magic’s there
hanging in the balance of the valleys and peaks if you listen, magic speaks
Oya, Oya, the magic’s in me
Oya, Oya, the magic’s in me
Oya, Oya, the magic’s in me
Oya, Oya


you’ve been telling me bout star-crossed love
you’ve been selling me on shakespeare
i've been wondering if love alone will ever be enough
cause i know there’s so much more at stake here
but that doesn’t mean i’m not willing to try
i’m calling on the strength in me just to look in those eyes
there’s a fire in me, i just need to ignite
i had such a heavy heart, i’m trying to do my part to make it light
​
don't you see, don't you see, don't you see

My Beast

1/20/2017

0 Comments

 
back away from a snake
play dead for a bear
howl at a wolf
climb a tree for a deer
i know all the protocol
when something wild’s coming at you
got no clue what to do when i’m the attacker
 
do i run do I hide?
do i dig a big hole and climb down or
stand my ground and lock eyes?
do I demand apologies or do I apologize?
when it comes to my beast
i’m just doing my best to survive

 
eat for a cold starve for a flu
ice for a sprain
take an aspirin or two
i know these remedies
for the sick and bed-ridden
got no clue what to do when i’m the affliction

My Ghost

12/7/2013

0 Comments

 
​inside your kitchen i saw my ghost
trying to get me wishing i was making toast
she took out my mug poured me a drink
pointed at my rings still by the sink
i asked her why it's here she dwells
but she really could not say
i said goodbye, i wished her well
and I went willing on my way
 
inside your parlor i saw my spirit
playing your guitar, she wanted me to hear it
she asked me to sit on chairs i own
she played my records on the gramophone
i asked her why it's here she dwells
she said well someone had to stay
i said goodbye, i wished her well
and i went willing on my way
 
and where you sleep my phantasm soul
was praying to keep you safe and whole
the room is small but it's changed the most
she don't need you here, i told my ghost
i asked her when she planned to go
she said when someone sets me free
i said my friend, go get your coat
you are coming home with me

May Let Go of June

6/13/2013

​may let go of june
there was no other way for her to bloom
it was no easy thing; it took all of spring
she didn't leave her behind
she just gave her some room
may let go of june
 
june turned to july
she said does saying hello mean saying goodbye?
cause retrospect is gonna break my neck
but the future is bright
and I know why
june turned to july
 
may, june and july felt a gust of wind
fall flew by; offered a hand to lend
you know if time stood still, nothing would heal
seasons would stall; wounds wouldn't mend
may will come around again

Mousetrap in a Lion's Den

11/6/2012

0 Comments

 
there were no ifs ands or buts
the day i chose to love you no matter what
i knew, i knew i’d never make it out alive
but hey, that's okay, everyone dies
 
there were no butterflies at all
just an ache that hammered me to the wall
i guess, i guess if something's beating in my chest
oh well, what the hell, it might as well beat for you
 
you set up a mouse trap in a lion's den
you already got me baby, then you caught me again
you knew i was doomed from the moment I fell in
nut that didn't stop you from setting up a mouse trap in a lion's den

 
there was no turning back
i clenched my ticket like a gambler at the track
i bet, i bet there's something i have not tried yet
if i dared say a prayer, i'd pray for you
 
i make a squeak, you make a roar
suffer for you, then i'll suffer some more

My Time

10/2/2011

summer turned to fall before we knew it
since the day i got the call
we’ve been fighting through it
though i am in need of sleep and peace of mind
you are the beat i keep
my rhythm, my rhyme
 
my time is your time
my wind is you chime

 
a smile hits your face and it warms me up like sun
i’m thankful for this place when i think of how far we’ve come
sometimes it takes some time
sometimes it takes a fall
to realize we’ll be fine
if we have each other, we have it all

Memory Tango

2/21/2010

0 Comments

 
just me and a bottle of wine
sifting through my things gathered over ten years’ time
box ‘em up or throw them out
can’t decide, this is my life we’re talking about
 
the memory tango
keep the good ones, let the bad ones go

 
just me in this tiny room
i hope i can call it home soon
and i’m relieved not to have chains on me
nevertheless i will look back fondly

Moon Sun

i loved the moon, i was consumed, his pull was strong
he filled up space with his smiling face when mine was long
the moon’s alright, he’s full of light
but he’s just not for me
the moon’s alright, but i can’t stay the night
cause he’s got places to be
so i’ll use this time to find some shade finally
 

i loved the sun, she was the one who set me ablaze
her heat was hot and i forgot, got burnt by her rays
the sun’s alright, she’s full of light
but she’s just not for me
the sun’s alright, but i can’t stay the night
cause she’s got places to be
so i’ll use this time to find some shade finally

 
i love myself, i’ve never felt so much like sky
there’s so much more earth to explore so why wouldn’t i
the moon and sun, how hard i spun
but they’re just not for me
the sun and moon, i’ll see ‘em soon
but i’ve got places to be
so i’m using this time to find some shade finally

My Recipe

12/6/2009

1 Comment

 
i am equal parts alive and dead
half in my heart half in my head
full of holes and empty of filling
crying over milk i keep spilling

oh, whoever wrote my recipe
clearly has it out for me
don't you know water don't go with oil
don't you know if you leave me out alone i'll spoil


i've never measured myself precise
there's always been a missing spice
but now there's way too much salt
i know it's not your or my fault
