A Change
I feel, the air, a wind of change Today, Things will go my way
Staring right in front of me, reflections of my face Dropped
and broken, shattered glass, Be Damned, I lost my faith
I
feel, things are going to change Today, Things will go my way
Staring into black of night, falling out of place I reached for
truth in the darkness, Be Damned, I lost my faith
I cannot
free the binds, that hold me down in place I fill the strength inside,
it helps to ease the pain
I feel, the air, a wind of change
Today, Things will go my way
Staring right in front of me, reflections
of my face Dropped and broken, shattered glass, Be Damned, I lost
my faith
I cannot free the binds, that hold me down in place
I fill the strength inside, it helps to ease the pain
I feel,
things are going to change. Today, Things will go my way

the Ant Song
1996
There's an ant in dissolution, Watch it wonder on the ground.
And I see it's going nowhere, neither lost nor to be found. I feel
its full frustration, as I look up at the sky, 'Cause I sometimes
wonder, if I'll even have the time.
I sit and look out of the
window, I see and hear the world outside. I feel the cold air rush
to greet me, see the gray clouds fill her skies. So I look to the
future, not the world I leave behind, 'Cause I sometimes wonder,
if I'll even have the time.
Now the end to this illusion, you
said those words to fade my frown. Empty words to tell a story, keep
my head up as I drown. I'll still look to the future, and not the
world I leave behind. 'Cause I sometimes wonder, if I'll even have
the time. TOP
Are
You Listening?
1997
I once believed inside of you, seeing things remembered When
the power trip went off, I didn't mean a single word I said
What
did you say? I thought I heard you whisper My ears deceive me so
I could not listen But are you listening ?
All the sunny days
are swearing grief of me, and their time is Long and gone With
me given things I cannot see, you've given me all that I Need.

Bohemian
Beatnik 1998
"Forgive me mom", I heard him say. "You're precious
son has passed away. No more need hold tears in your eyes, both weak
and strong, we all must die."
At times he tipped toed
through his life Imbibed and laughed into the night But pain came
it became so clear Some wounds exist, that even time can't heal
To live alive, but all alone. Steep price for pride, years on his
own. Set off to find the great unreal. A destiny no fate could seal.
This all may seem a bit extreme His dirty hands are now washed
clean "On with this noose" I heard him scream That "In
this world, there is no place for me"
TOP
Broken Bottled Kisses
1996
I walk with fire, burden as my treat Pain melts my conscious,
my private hell retreat
Broken bottled kisses, your words cannot
repair Take this bundle from me, its weight I cannot bare
Burned by desire, I thought I felt in love So filled with passion,
given verdict from above
I need some absolution, a cleansing
of my soul some tangible redemption, a way to fill this hole
A cleansing of my soul

Burning Sands
April 01, 2009
Hey there, have you heard
my heart beat lately Come down and feel it today
Lady, you
have been my inspiration Awaiting impatiently
If you don't
know me I'll drag myself through burning sands, On blistered feet,
your fate, my hand And bring it all to you/ I'll give it all to you
Fairytales, Set aside your inhibitions it's time, be open, be
free
No more, wasted times in indecision Come reach a hand
out to me
If you don't know me I'll drag myself through burning
sands, On blistered feet, your fate, my hand And bring it all
to you/ I'll give it all to you
Hey dear, you've got me lost
in fascination And falling into your soul
No tears, Hold
me close now shed your sorrows And cast away all your fears
If you don't know me I'll drag myself through burning sands,
On blistered feet, your fate, my hand And bring it all to you/ I'll
give it all to you TOP
Circle in the Clouds
June 29, 2007
Shaped to mold that nothing, as we
watch ourselves drip into, The drain of greed and power, step outside
and take a chance now.
On run the "dogs" to cover,
afraid to face the wood and chains Given not for pleasure, only to
calm us from our fears.
Pre-Chorus For the sake of the sun,
the rains won't stop me now I'll sweep it all away and clear this
film of grey somehow.
Chorus (and) Breath the air, feel a
breeze, always blowing here around From the heart into dreams, that
no longer turns about Broken wings, falling free, I'll have to pick
it from the ground up I’m so happy to see, A Circle in the Clouds.
Shaped to mold that nothing, as we watch ourselves drip into,
The drain of greed and power, step outside and take a chance now.
Chorus (and) Breath the air, feel a breeze, always blowing here
around From the heart into dreams, that no longer turn about Broken
wings, falling free, I'll have to pick it from the ground up I’m
so happy to see, A Circle in the Clouds.

Day Dream'n
December 2005
Day Dream'n, rolling around, naked on your bed Head trip'n, thinking
about, all the words you said When you said "I'm going home"
You broke my heart, I'm going home
It's getting hard to remember,
the way you felt, pressed against my skin How can I wash away this
sorrow, when there is no alcohol, to feed my head? I'm falling out,
I'm going down
Down to the place that we go just to hide away,
Let's ride we'll stay for awhile Forget all our worries and regrets
from yesterday Moments archived/carved out in time
Day Dream'n,
rolling around, naked on the floor How can you say that you don't
even know, which way to go? Or even travel down this road.
Down to the place that we go just to hide away, Let's ride we'll
stay for awhile Forget all our worries and regrets from yesterday
Moments archived/carved out in time
Day Dream'n, rolling
around, naked in my head

The
Devil Over Coffee
September 2008
I met the devil over coffee. We hit it off, she was so charming.
With her smile, she disarmed me, Poisoned me, leaving me for dead.
Then turned her back and walked right out on me. Her cold black
heart is all you left for me. Wrapped it up, inside our memories,
With the lie, that you were meant for me.
I’ll walk this empty
street without you. No longer waste my thoughts about you. And
I see, you’ve found your peace, Leaving me, struggling to breathe.
The devil now drinks her brew without me With some new found
chumps, she’ll bind, then cast to sea. In their eyes, I’ll share
this sorrow But relieved/ With relief “Thank God it isn’t me.”

Dear Lily
2000
Will I look into your eyes, many
years from now, I pray, Oh Lord away! Will we look into one sky,
many years from now, I pray, Oh Lord I pray… Will we laugh and share
the sky, many years from now, I pray, Oh Lord I Pray…
Refrain
Away! Away! I’m afraid, I’ve gone so far away. Away! I await! And
afraid, I’ve gone so far away.
Will the sun-shine from your smile,
melt the clouds that leave me Blind, I’ve fallen Blind.
Why
do I cash out borrowed time? Can’t feel you near, want to hear your
cry! I’ve gone so far away.
Chorus Please forgive me now,
I wasn’t there to guide you, Open arms now feel my blood bleed/breath
deep inside you.
One day you will look into the sky, many years
from know and find, I’m not so far away.
Then brush the tear-drops
from your face, wide-open arms you can’t embrace, I’ve gone so far
away.
Chorus Please forgive me now, I wasn’t there to guide
you, Open arms now feel my blood bleed/breath deep inside you.

Down the
Road October
2005
Take away the friction
now, we're heading to a bar on down the road To the place where fairies
Dance, to the music, liquor flows on down your throat On down the
throat, we throw. On down the road, we go Back on Down the Road
Light the lanterns of your mind, though your eyes, the lightning
shines on down the road Some we meet, in disbelief, open arms and
greet, then walk on down the road On down the road, we flow. On down
the road, we grow. Back on Down the Road
Now I stand and I
stare at the stars Thinking on how I've made it this far All the
laughs and the cries, All the kisses goodbye Open arms I'm embracing
it all
All the answers that you seek to the questions that you
ask, live on down the road In the end with dreams of one, take a
hand and run on toward the sun. On toward the sun, we run. After
the sun, we'll run Back on Down the Road
TOP
Flame and Fire 05-21-2013
My thoughts they drift then fade away To other times and other
days A little sad, some fall from reach But one roars out from
dark to deep
When you play with me You'll be playing it like
with fire Baby burn in me, feed the flames with your desire And
don't burden me With the tales of all those liars Or murder me,
when the flames fall from your fire
Your hour glass count grains
of sand Freely falling through my hand Falling far and out of
reach Forever lost, an endless beach
Chorus
With one
last breath I turn to run I'll stretch to reach the setting sun
With fist a loft and chest up high With courage fought no fear to
die TOP
Green Eyes With You
December
27. 2010
So I raise my arms high, open heart to the sky
Tried to pick myself up, broken now back to front Wo, these feelings
won’t die
You’ve left me in black, I’m beaten, I’m blue As
you race to the end, all I ask my dear friend, Take those green eyes
with you
Must have hit the bar low, or a flat sour note But
please don’t get up, sure I’m not good enough I’ll just show my way
out.
And day after day, I’ll keep losing my way Though I’m
not giving up, there’s some truth, I feel stuck With nothing clever
to say
Chorus
With time marching on, I lament in these
songs As the tea kettle whistles, beat blistering viscous And
moves me along
And memories like dreams, our past lost it seems
With a lonely conviction, I march forth in vision And find my way
out TOP
Ides of March
03-15-2013
Trooper Soldier on No time to rest your weary head Another
year rolls on The ides of march is here again
So I stare off
in space Lost in time, out of place A lonely star you've come
so far To trip and fall on your face
Eternal springs run dry
Locked in pools of yesterday Chiseled on my mind All the love
that's passed away
Chorus
I've dreamed of waterfalls
Flowing from the lion’s head Winding all these years Til the
river finds its end
TOP
Insane to Save
04-15-2011
I had just turned away, feeling the tears in your eyes
With my heart broke and weak, your sweet lips I must tell you goodbye
I’m not heartless I swear I just lost my own way
Couldn’t deal with the pain, that I feel everyday
Wandered off of a path even God would not save me
Felt the weight of your world, crush me and squeeze me inside
Tried to open myself but I just turn away run and hide
Then go straight for the throat cause I’d hope to be free
Just a last minute reach from the caveman in me
Forced off of the rail even God cannot save me
Cruel foolish world
Cruel foolish life
Now I march through the night, these demons they claw from each side
Howling winds from their screams, destined to burn of the fire
Orphaned soul set to roam, all alone we fall free
Void of love, life and hope and forsaken our dreams
Falling off of the road even God will not save me
TOP
Into the Light
September 23, 2009
Now lend an ear Let me share a little secret from my chest
We’ve lost our way It’s time to hoist the lines and course correct
And find a way, and find away, in through this life Then find a way,
and find our way, into the light
So what to think? Just train your eyes
on spirits in the sky And for the day Let loose a little light
still held inside And forge away, and forge away, into this life
Then find a way, and find our way, into the light
In ten thousand days Will you stand
beside me when it rains? What if we lose Good intentions now stagnation,
trials and fools That lost their way, and lost their ways, into the
night Another day, and not that way, we’ll run into the light
And find a way, and find away, in through this life Then find a way,
and find our way, into the light

Journey On A Tractor Wagon
1996
Life sucked for me this day, I sometimes feel this way, Lost
my relation to this world From time to time I've been believing,
just cast a stone, could use Some healing. Why don't we look out
past these walls?
Now I search this world for truths worth seeking,
Sometimes in thought I delve to deeply, that's when I go and get
real high. Then my time just drifts Away, to warm thoughts of sunny
days, These are some things I hope to find...
Living out real
journey's with my mind, Seeking all the things I need to find,
Casting out my demons from inside, On a one way expedition into time.
This day I hold the setting sun, it fades to black, its day is done.
So will this happen to us all. Now clear dear Lord this man's confusion,
lift the cloak from this Illusion, and set him free so he won't fall.

Liberty Lost
August
04, 2006
So Beautiful
For amber waves of grain That once held up the light for those of
foreign lands A place for dreams, a getaway
Pre-Chorus
Twins a fire came crumbling down Hate and fear grew all around
And the weary candleholder's flame burned out
From a loud roar
to a whisper I have seen this vision fail The land once held aloft,
with God's own mighty hands Fell off the Earth's sad face
Pre-Chorus
Then I took a look around All the smoke cleared
out I could see the buildings burning, screams cried out!
Chorus
Where have you gone, my greatest friend? Why did you
hide, When the bombs brought down the walls?
Refrain
And
with its passing marks an end to a dream We owe it to them, gave their
lives we live free And now with growing threat, security, liberty?
Chorus
Where have you gone? My greatest friend Why did
you hide? When the bombs brought down the walls
Refrain
And with this passing marks an end to a dream They paid it forward
gave their lives we live free And now with growing threat, security,
liberty?
Where have you gone?
/ Why did you run? My greatest/ Oh fearless friend Why/Where did
you hide? When the bombs brought down the walls

Live a
Parade!
1998
They say NO! Not even looking our way Winding up his thoughts,
He then continued to say When there's HOPE! Time get out of my way
Keeping this in mind, you will live a parade
Now there's Pain,
It slowly etches away Stronger now then than then, traveling on separate
in waves So we GROW! Into one with our days Sometimes pushed around,
but always standing our stays
I want to feel like I do You
go and feel the way you do My game I'll Play it my way You're
game you live it as you choose
They Say NO! Not even knowing
our ways Winding up his thoughts, he then continues to say When
there's HOPE! Time get out of my way Keeping this in mind, you will
LIVE A PARADE!!! TOP
Moving On
October 08, 2008
When I woke up the next morning I felt the sadness fall on me,
And I closed my eyes to questions and I prayed it just a dream. I’m
moving on…
Then I stepped into the shower and I tried to fight
away the tears And I let the water’s healing warmth wash away my
fears. I’m moving on…
Guitar Solo
And the days they
passed so slowly at times I thought I’d lose my mind, And I waited
on a text from you but I never heard that chime. I’m moving on…
Refrain When I look past all the many times that you let me down,
Those days are gone and won’t be here tomorrow.
When I see all
the many times that you made me cry, Why so hard to even say “I love
you”?
So I looked down at the spaces where your fingers used
to be, And I closed my hand so tightly squeezed that space right
out of me. I’m moving on…
Now I look out past the ocean feel
the sand beneath my feet, And I see the sun’s reflection one set
of footprints behind me. I’m moving on…

My Dear
1994
As I wonder through this wilderness, searching for a place to hide
I'd only hoped to fill the emptiness, heal these wounds from deep inside.
I had stumbled into yesterday, on a summers afternoon. She was sweet
and young and tender then, until her life was torn in two. Tears
fell off her face and dropped off into space...
Where did it
go wrong my dear? How could I be so blind and still not hear?
I should have let you go, a long, long time ago. Why was it always
wrong for me to feel? Now tell me now where I went wrong my dear...
I can't presume to know the answers, even the questions weren't
that clear. I looked ahead to possibilities, now that futures not
as near. And I think she sensed my failures then, 'cause she passed
right through my mind. Like a hundred thousand dreams I've had, just
another waste of time. And tears filled up my eyes, they nearly made
me cry...
Like a ship in stormy weather, my thoughts drift from
place to place. With little meaning or direction, some are lost without
a trace. I'll sill wonder through my wilderness, with my past so
close behind She'll be packed in fragile wrappings there, somewhere
frozen for all time. TOP
No More Tears
Thoughts going nowhere, I’ve got you on my mind
We’re heading somewhere, a place not hard to find And as we get there,
alone, I close my eyes If could tell you, how that makes me feel
inside
I caught you looking, why must we play this game If
I could hold you, we could end this masquerade This revelation, is
driving me insane Whatever happened to good ole’ fashion love I say
The vibe, the emotion, the songs of devotion Through heartache
misfortune, I call back to you With every day older, and life milling
colder In search of a shoulder I call out to you
And we’ll
fly, to all the answers And hear cheers, to all our dreams Til
the end, I will adore you This way out, no more fears
Now
login baby, don’t make me wait one more I’ve sent this message, it’s
your turn dear, unbolt the door I’ve fallen for you and hope you
fall for me This great adventure, I only wish your eyes to see
TOP
Psalm for
God 1996
Now look to these eyes, through tears can you hear how they cry?
From denial and indifference. Fragments of dreams, that still swim
around in my mind, Why do they fade away? Burned, into me, and
so deep I can't breath, Are their faded reflections. Opened the
mind to the shit all around, So I can make your connections.
Oh so many questions dwell in me. Do I overlook the answers,
could it be? If I ever lose the courage from inside, Where can
I hide?
Will I find my way, can you see what's going on? Is
the road ahead, paved for me, or just sad psalms?
It all fades
to night, dearest thoughts, I'll still grieve for you, Until I can't
anymore. Out from these clouds I must sail, 'till these screams,
From inside, become silent. Woe, is to me, a companion to be,
Will light be shattered by darkness? Hate, swells from here, at the
price I must pay For misguided directions I've made.
As long
as there's strength for me, here in this soul, My lungs will draw
breath from this place. Fastened up high, all the stars gazing down,
each waiting, To shine out its brightest. Give me these dreams,
pull the thorns from my heart, Heal my wounds, set me free from
the darkness. All, that I am, and can be, then will be, Fully
reflected to thee. TOP
Pair of
Doves
2001
You got to believe
in something, in this Old World, Why not let the music set you free
Come and Sing along, open up your heart, I’ll show you how easy
it can be
(Today) I saw a pair of doves, they were flying overhead,
And I wanted one of them to be me
And So I sing a song, with
hopes, to lighten up your heart, I’ve giving you the key to set us
free.
Oh My Darling, Oh My Love
Love was not enough, it
could not hold us close together, Living in this absence were just
fears
Each day I prayed the Lord, that he would bring us back
together, And waited, All those days passed into years
Oh
My Darling, Oh My Love
I will not forget you, will not let you
fall behind, So sad, the road that forked was so unkind
We
will stand again, as friends, someday on distant shores, These Songs
and Memories playing in our minds
Oh My Darling, You’ve gone
home, my little dove. TOP
The Poem
1998
Weathered on my soul, Once warm breeze it now blows cold.
Now I find my self alone, Crumbling bricks I once called home,
Broken pieces of a poem.
And dreams once danced, All throughout
my mind, But one day the music died, with my arms upraised I cried...
Has my blue sky been denied?
All that I need to feel, is good.
So let me out, there can be no turn about. And I'll raise my
arms up high, Re-embrace this one inside. I'll recapture all of my
blue sky. TOP
Precious
Apathy
1998
You said it's all a dream. So far from what it seems. So close
your eyes and go, as far as it will take you, Then you will know...
To me you were my brother A place inside held by no other
Uncrossed your wings and started to fly And now I know my dreams,
belong to me
Set off to see the day, without you by my side,
On a shallow painful stride. Dropped down beneath the gauntlet again,
to find some peace of mind, Just a little peace of my mind...
What will you do, When I'm gone? You uncrossed your wings and
started to fly, And your already gone.
Until your precious
apathy, Slipped down below right off the cliffs of your mind.
Into the depths of my soul, it's killing you, Letting me see... Your
Precious Apathy. TOP
Restless
Journey
03-20-2016
Today I'll end the sorrow Looking to find a way A life of
empty promise A price I couldn't pay
A soul on a restless
journey Memories and pain I cry, the rainbow's falling I cast
away these chains
Climb high into the heavens To reach your
spirit in the sky On winds of hope that carry us, Go release your
soul, set free to fly
I search the whole world for you Today,
I searched in vain With only thoughts to hold you Tears from heaven
rain
Today I'll end the sorrow Looking to find a way I
cry, the rainbow's falling I cast away these chains

Sea to See
1998
Slipped into a hole, and now a tear in me, To a hollow point
so deep inside my life. I tried to hold on to the things, that made
me feel all right, But in the end it never turned out right.
I went to meet myself halfway, with time I’d hope to clear the gray.
Seldom have they tried to understand this, They’d just as soon
be judge and roll their eyes. “To good” to be a part of the enlightenment
we share, Afraid of all the answers they might find.
I went
to meet their world half way, and haven’t showed up to the day.
Fly into the skies of Heaven, Running through a field of dreams,
Playing out the hand, that life has dealt to me this far, A grain
of sand that’s never seen… You’ll See Me
Forever we will guide
our rivers, From the deserts we will steer them to the sea. With
all the many islands that abound there, we will sail, One day we’ll
set on ground, from sea to see.
Fly into the skies of Heaven,
Running through a field of dreams, Playing out the hand, that
life has dealt to me this far, A grain of sand that’s never seen…
You’ll See Me TOP
Stoned
1994
I've got, a broken heart, don't feel so smart, I guess it's back
to start. And I've got, an aching head, feels like I'm dead, guess
I'll go to bed.
OOH, and you shouldn't have gone. OOH, and you
left me all alone, I guess I'll just get stoned.
And I've
got, a beat up car, it don't get me far, it doesn't always start.
So I go, and I get real high, I've been denied, my big blue sky now
baby.
This month, I can't pay my rent, my money's spent,
I'll have to live in a tent now baby, So I go, and I get real high,
I'm still hoping to find My big blue sky now baby.
