lost in the wake of the death of your precious smile,
i can’t shake the thought that i’ve let myself down.

i know i’m to blame for whatever this misery is,
troubled and shamed that it’s all in my head.

i want it all, but your heart won’t give.
just say the word and i’ll go on.

i know you deserve something more,
all you wish for,
and what i will never be.
so why can’t i stop fooling myself over you?

Well, that’s a wrap! The process of putting this album together was fun, inspiring, enlightening, and very emotionally draining. It’s been three years since I’ve written and recorded anything, and I think I remember why.

For the past two months, the right side of my brain was running around in circles at 500 miles an hour and would not stop. Not necessarily a bad situation to be in, but I actually lost a lot of sleep during that time.

In the end, these five songs came together more naturally than anything else I can remember. Inspiration sparks creativity. You can’t force creativity. Likewise, I’ve found that you don’t just find inspiration. It usually finds you in some way or another.

Interestingly enough, I feel like I could keep going and make this album longer, but the way the last song turned out, it seemed like a good place to stop. The music and lyrics kind of completed the theme, so-to-speak. But you might hear some “b-sides” in the near future.

Anyway, it’s available for download…. for FREE!!! I thought about having actual CD’s made, but who even listens to those anymore???

So give it a listen. Share it with others. And, as always, thanks for your support!!!

i’ve spent too many days just wasting away
hanging onto every word that you say
because i want this now, it’s all that i need
to feel whole, to feel alive,
to make my heart bleed.

spin this thing around until we can’t see
all the stars come full circle to be
too many years gone by to let this all go.
but i won’t leave, i will not run
’til you let me know.

so save yourself….
forget all the things i said i would be
i blame myself, i admit i believed
that what i could see was almost real.
(i hate myself because i believed
that what i could see wasn’t a dream.)

bring your glass to the table…
we’ll pour it up
and down it like a shot of perfection.
turn the lights up at last call…
can you see me now?

we’ll drive it out under nightfall on 95.
we’ll take it slow
and just watch all the street lights glow.
and we won’t stop ’til the morning comes…
i can feel you now.

but i saw it in your eyes when you looked at me
and all they say is that you’d rather be…
alone.

i was too afraid that nothing could be saved

should i stay?
tell me no and i’ll leave
for a week or a month
or ’til when i can let you go.

but turn around
to the sound of your beating heart
or i’ll just be a memory in your mind.

let me know
just what i can see in your eyes.
will i be just a memory
that you never will find?

falling on my knees
and running out of reasons
’cause there were things that i would say
if only i wouldn’t be so afraid.

in the end, it doesn’t matter anyway….

this beautiful tragedy

we stand outside… it’s too late and lonely
and always cold when our hearts have fallen old
all the excuses i threw at you cannot
pick up the youthless years that surround you
i never thought that i could feel this way….

tonight

i might call you up ‘cause i just need some time tonight
but you won’t pick me up ‘cause you’d just waste your time tonight
if you could understand that i could be your man tonight
i’ll feel your worst, i’ll steal your jealousy
so come away with me tonight
show me your heart, where it wants go
and everything there is left to know

The Ties That Bind Will Someday Kill Us [DRUM REDUX]

December 28, 2012

For shits and giggles, I decided to try replacing the original drum track (recorded with Superior Drummer) with my acoustic kit.
