For The Moment

Soft and stained with burning lights
I can’t stand this paradise
I will find a way out of here
I for the moment have found my way, I may
Be still watching clocks tick but I’ll play, the game
Gonna leave nostalgic days of suppressed action
Kick up the dirt and form my own faction
Distraction is the phrase that they always say
Refraction might make you king for the day
I wouldn’t bet on you to take away
All that I’ve built up from this day, id say
You aint gotta a chance to be myself
You aint gotta chance to beat myself
You aint gotta chance, so back away
I haven’t felt like I do today, you might say
I am a new born ready to play your games
Na na na na na
Na na na na na

White Flowers

When you are away I can’t put down
The shaking blues and the cold
The admiration, the quiet desperation
To lay down all that I have and more
I wanna reach my arms across the ocean blue
I wanna reach my arms out to you
The season here has just turned bright
The flowers I’ve planted for you have turned white
And everyday I leave you a little something
That I hope you have a way to find
I wanna reach my arms across the ocean blue
I wanna reach my arms out to you
I wanna reach my arms across the ocean blue
I wanna reach my arms out to you
Across the ocean blue
I wanna reach my arms out to you (repeat)

You're Right

Don't be lazy,
Don't be crazy
You know you have a spot right here
Always step back
from the opportunity
To be safe well i hope i can say
You're right
You're right x2
You can't face them,
I've erased them
This past is just a fading memory
For the same reason,
I must be leavin',
But i hope that someday you will find
You're right
You're right x2

Down

Something at the bottom of the ocean is dragging me down
it’s dragging me down
Something at the bottom of this ocean is dragging me down
its dragging me down
You cant even fathom what is its muffled by the shells,
all those yells
I don’t need to be told it’s consuming me that I can tell,
that I can tell
God I’m tired of being dragged down by my feet
There is still a part of me that’s floating in the ocean blue,
in the ocean blue
And nothing seems to want it not the hagfish or the current it remains still, it remains still
And why is it please tell me why I am I the one that’s hung out to dry,
hung out to dry
God i'm tired of being dragged down by my feet
Something at the bottom of the ocean is dragging me down
it’s dragging me down (so why dont you help me out?)
Something at the bottom of the ocean is dragging me down
it’s dragging me down (so why dont you help me out?) -repeat*

I know who you
Are and I’m not
Interested
In these solitary years
I haven’t been
Heard again
So take your walk on
Down the road to some
Other kid
I will save as many of these arrows
I will save as many of these arrows
As I can
I don’t think you’ve
Thought this through
But get on with it
Cause I am through
Waiting here to say
No again
I will save as many of these arrows
I will save as many of these arrows
As I can
I will save as many of these arrows
I will save as many of these arrows

It's Over Now
02:46
|

I don't think we can move on this time around
The same old burdons hover in our clouds
There seems to be something inside of you
and im not saying that it hasn't got in me too
Well, it's over now
Well, it's over now
Colorful rings and charms are an earthly thing
unsure motivation is what i see
Taking hold of heartbeats everywhere
Transfixed on not one but many stares
Well, it's over now
Well, it's over now
Well, it's over now

Out Ahead
02:11
|

Lately I
Have been too out there
I’m sorry
Forgive me
Cause I don’t know you
Everything is out ahead
I guess I’m through
Shame there’s no proof
That I’m learning
And I’m yearning
That I could know you
Still everything is out ahead
And I
Could go without you
Yes I
Could go with out you
But then I wouldn’t know you,
And I wouldn’t be out ahead

Contemplation
04:17
|

What if I was gone?
What if I held the key to my room,
And threw it away?
I was the same as I was in my childhood
I was the same as I was in my childhood
Bring in all the days,
Cast out all the doubt,
Make the best of my time before it’s out
Now that I am gone
And my things are locked away
There’s not a memory to save
And there’s a reason why
I was the same as I was in my childhood
I was the same as I was in my childhood
Bring in all the days,
Cast out all the doubt,
Make the best of my time before it’s out
I was the same as I was in my childhood
I was the same as I was in my childhood

Grindstone

These are the times when, you try to pick apart your friends
Expecting to find all of a newfound bliss
I don’t think this is true, I don’t think that you know
Who you are
I don’t think you wont follow the same road
Not when were both here stuck in the same boat
It doesn’t mean a thing when you, don’t put your nose to the grindstone
I am through waiting, to see if you will change
Glorified revolutions, aren’t your game
I think that your set in your ways, sometimes it takes so many days
To find, who you are, and
I don’t think you wont follow the same road
Not when were both here stuck in the same boat
It doesn’t mean a thing when you, don’t put your nose to the grindstone
I don’t think you wont follow the same road
Not when were both here stuck in the same boat
It doesn’t mean a thing when you, don’t put your nose to the grindstone

These Days
03:52
|

Before, you come home, know you don’t follow, the rules
Before, I come home, know I don’t follow, the rules
These days follow me, chained behind eternity
These days follow me but not close enough to take me
If I rise up in my fame that’s another link to the chain
No more added payments means no more added gains
Before these days end, id like some friends, to say goodbye
Before, your life ends, id like to be there, to kiss you goodnight
These days follow me, chained behind eternity
These days follow me but close enough to take me
If I rise up in my fame that’s another link to the chain
No more added payments means no more added gains
I don’t have to be the same as before these days
I don’t have to be same as now
I don’t have to find a place to stay
To sit think about these days

In early 2007 i picked up a guitar for the first time. A few months later, i began writing and and recording my own original pieces. Now a 22 year old college student I am constantly looking for funds to upgrade equipment and new influences and sounds to experiment with. Ive been told I'm generally folky but I like to play around with many other genres. ... more
