Curses 03:33
There was a time When we were wandering And we found hope Someone was offering We were young And neither of us knew This perfect family Was just too good to be true Oh, your shoulders could almost break in two When all this time I could have sworn we were floating How about you? And now, oh I’ll be the one to pull you back out You’ve got your heart Buried under verses Oh, baby let me take, take, take away your curses When I drive by It all comes back to me I can hear all the angels Talk to me But we can’t blame Anybody else Still we can’t shake The smell of those cigarettes And I’ll be damned if they take even one more tear I swear to God, I will make this up to you, my dear It’s breaking your back It’s breaking my heart They promised us truth We were wishing on stars Just look at us now What have we left? Just holding our breath Second-guessing ourselves

You can only wait Wait so long Pacing father Hungry young West I travel A kiss for my wife I spent my last dime On a room for the night People will talk and talk and talk but... Prayers go up and fall back down I sowed my life into that ground So I raise my hands never more Angel, you can’t catch me I left my bible in the hotel drawer Amazing grace How sweet the sound How sweet the taste Of whiskey now We were fools, oh we were fools Forsaken plains Now my only hope Lies in these two hands High hopes We had high hopes As the sky was falling down

Hold Me Down 04:44
I walked away From a burning plane I brushed the dust off my shoulders From an oncoming train I was pushed from the empire state And landed on my feet They pulled the trigger And I smiled with a bullet between my teeth Hold me down I can breathe under water Hold me down I will wake up tomorrow Hold me down I’ve been safe up til now But if you walk out that door I’ll fucking drown Never broke a sweat A noose around my neck I ran into the fire and I returned With a lit cigarette Poison drink Chamber gas I can walk on broken glass Burning stake Flight of stairs I shorted out my electric chair All the world I can bear But I’m a wreck without you here Baby, I’m a wreck without you here

Chemicals 03:39
Bait Lure me in, tie me down, and wait Time is on your side Faith Open eyes, amazing grace Now I’m blinded by the light And fighting for my life I remember cherries on my tongue Roses in my lungs And now it all just tastes like chemicals Fate Chosen, I am floating, I’m elate Don’t let go Safe But slowly I begin to feel the weight Your knee upon my throat But I was just too young to know

Miss Liberty 05:00
The view from here is amazing Empire State, central park, the alley below And of course I could see your pretty face When I stare out my bedroom window We spent our summers trading smiles Passing notes by pulling on the line I could have sworn we were related Cuz we both shared the color of our eyes Black and blue from our daddies drinking booze And coming home all angry with us to blame We didn’t know what we did wrong, but we knew all along Someday we’d make a break We’d always say “maybe today”. Bye bye, baby Meet me by Miss Liberty And we will sail away You and I were not like lovers More like sister and like brother Pinky swears and secret shakes They say there ain't no place like home Fading bruises, bloody nose Nothing we couldn’t take Until I didn’t come to class Week later, arm in cast We were losing time I’d never seen you so upset It was now or just forget Would we make it out alright? We’d always say “maybe today”. When we finally found the boat Your daddy caught you by the throat And he was dragging you on home And you were screaming at me “Go!” “Save yourself, take the boat, You are strong enough to make it on your own.” And I never saw you, saw you again, oh no

about

Saint Jayne Eugene, Oregon

The last few years have delivered me an unexpected dose of reality for which I am very grateful. Some of it is captured here in my music. The questionable, the frustrating, the hopeful. The blessings and the curses. None of which I would change.

I write songs on my guitar and add electronic sounds to them.
