her love (stripped demo)
Her love is cold windHer love’s a moonless nightHer love is secretHer love, what would I know of it?It’s haunting to watch you sittin there gettin high on griftI don’t know why you think you need that shitHer love loves the sinner But really hates the sinHer love barely buriesThe rage that never liftsIt feels l...

An extra road
Opened the drawer by the bedThis morning looking for my headFound a lone marble rolling around instead Some historic version of me that I keptI’ve been hoping to tell you about my dreamsThey are all I can see todayWalking around with a TV screenScrewed into the mainframeYou know there is a windowThat opens to an extr...
light of your love
Wordlessly, unheavily perfumedYou spill your miraclesIrreverently, confidently amusedYou kill your idolsIn the light of your love I can do anythingIn the light of your love I can do anythingMajesty in the windIn everything that breathesIn your green velvet glovesYou hold the whole sunIn the light of your love I can do ...
my worry - demo
I am as greedyAs anyone could beI have been grievingSince the beginningI’m not even close to being ready to let you goAnd you cannot carry the worry that I knowSo heavyMy worryTo carryMy worryI open my mouthYour voice comes outWhy would I get freeWhen I don’t want to be?I’m not even close to being ready to let yo...

Big Ruth grew legsWrapped them around meShe says, “Don’t make me beg,I want a baby”Deep rootsHeavily perfumedShe kills your idolsHard truthsHer fruitsSpilling her miraclesShe takes a load offNow she’s got me on the rugWho knew she’d be aLive wire?Deep rootsHeavily perfumedShe kills your idolsHard truthsHer fr...

I don’t wonder if you’re dressed in blackI don’t wonder if you made it backTo HawaiiI don’t wonder what I knowI don’t wonder if your mouth’s still dirtyI don’t wonder if you quit smokin by thirtyLike you said you would doI don’t wonder what I knowI don’t wonder what I knowI don’t wonder if you can s...
Piscean Ghostess (demo)
I won’t be reaching out anymoreYou’ve gone mighty quiet for a troubadourI thought you were my friendAmong the best of themThat psycho rattled youI know you had to moveSo I won’t pretend to know what you’ve been going throughBut what’s there to misconstrue?I was the truest blueNo I won’t be reaching out anym...
Who doesn't?
I'm not sure if/when I'll get to release this one officially, so for now I'm gonna give it to you guys. I love this song and it kinda contains my whole soul in it, but I have a difficult time interacting with it because it taps into my most overwhelming persistent fears. Recorded with my friend Aaron Roche ...
What then?
Recorded by me at homeMixed by TJ Allen in BristolLyrics:If you live every day ready for the world to endThen you’re gonna make it happenWhat if there’s no hot pink showdown coming?What if the earth keeps on turning?What then?

Just another day
Did you see the waveAs it came up over you?Thought it was just another dayYou had a questionWere you moved by the spirit or yourwandering nerve?Everyone is sure you’re in a better placeTo pretend we know anything is strangeI’m so sorryYou weren’t okYou know he won’t ever be the sameWill they remember your face ...
The mansion my hunger outgrew
I’ve been growing wings in secret at the bottom of the seaBreathing underwater in a language that I do not speakPlayin the games of powers to whom I owe a debtLearnin the names of flowers that haven’t opened yetI could feed off the faith of the manyIf I felt anyMy heart is never not in my throat or my feetThe only ...
rainbow machine
These dreams these dreamsAre they the real me?Why does the yet-to-comeFeel like a memory?You’re lookin at it whatever “it” isBut you’re too numb to seeIn dreams I dealWith my mortalityReluctantly but IThink I’m beginningWe’re lookin at it whatever “it” isBut we’re too young to see

mid-march garden song
I turned 33 in January and I'm really floating in that feeling of being a slighly different person every single day. A night of dreaming feels like a lifetime (or more) and when I wake up and begin again something is always different, just a little changed.I'll try to be more active here in this space--I thank ...

A dream is a plan that fliesSwimmin in the frequent sea of beliefThe light of heaven is hereProof the hand of god holds you in high esteemIt was you who summoned meFrom the stars to be your familyWhen you call I think of Easter and of my suburban sistersLiving for lunch after church and the holy scriptureFilling mornin...
