Outside

July 11, 2008

keep my failures where they belong, where did I go wrong? search myself for some reason and let it all get me down when it’s over I’ll be looking backwards, that’s not what I want the days are fading, why am I still waiting for the spinning to stop when I was younger, I felt […]

Whatever

July 10, 2008

A song about that moment when you know you’re not thinking right and you don’t care, and you just open the door a little further… I know you said everything will be OK but I don’t know why I should listen to you anyway I’ll dig my feet further in trap I set what’s the […]

Run

July 2, 2008

It’s getting close.  I hope to have the CD done for an August or September release.  Here’s a song I wrote while I was very comfortable with my Minneapolis life, written from the perspective of someone who wasn’t. If I knew what to do I wouldn’t be here with you somethings caught inside my head […]

Dark

July 1, 2008

the chores are done the toys are all put away you painted your life into a papery film what’s left to say about it it’s just what’s trapped in your head you got me all wrong can’t give me away ripples in songs I’ll take to my grave we walk to our death certain and […]

Wrote this one a while ago too: I’m trying all my hands you’re waiting for the end they left me in the dark and you might be right let them pack away the hours of a day we’ll sleep through anyway and we’ll leave at night I’ve got nothing left to do but put my […]

Safe and Sound

May 17, 2008

I’d have thought we’d walk away somehow on our own two feet the skyline still in front of me I’m crawling on my hands and knees how silly this all must have seemed my wasted breath turned into steam now we’re safe and sound, and calm and clean taken in by our enemies slowly set […]

Millions of Miles

May 4, 2008

I think I’m getting really close to being done with this CD. Here’s one from a while ago: someone take the wheel I’m subtracting the negative space between the stars and the blur between the headlights from cars as the radio plays some AM waves from far away nothing to lose except whats right in […]
