This Is Now, And There It Goes.

Here’s another worktape. Working on a real record now, be aware… if you care.

WITH EVERY RISING SUN

Step outside look at the sky
It’s a beutiful night and I guess we’re alive, my mouth opens, but I
don’t make sense
There’s awning above the porch
we could climb its big enough for two and it’ll hold up fine, when
that line ends we won’t pretend
And I know that two wrongs don’t make a right, but he’s so far away
and it’s cold outside where winter is, and my mind says

That I need you ahhh
Just as you are
With every rising sun

In a college town with a local boy
without an education or a foot in the door your thought process isnt
hard to guess
But know that I got a heart that was built for you and my head may be
thick but my thoughts are all true with innocence just like your
existence.

I hate to be the one to fuck with other peoples lives but I’ll take my
chances cause I know when I’m right
At this time i’ve never wanted anyone more than you.

I need you ahh
Just as you are
With every rising sun

And it was so hard
But now here you are
And I will be someone for you

To Those Who Walk Up Escalators

To Those Who Walk Up Escalators:

I thought that you were lazy, just like me, but apparently you’re in some kind of rush to be at the hospital with your baby. Did you just find out that it was born with rabies? Well, I could fucking care less. It’s not hard to say excuse me.

I took this stairs because they were moving; never meant to find my sense of purpose. I was only trying to not move my feet.

To Those Who Walk Up Escalators:

Is gravity not quite enough for you? Oh, no, I get it. You’re in some kind of rush to see your ex-boyfriend. He came up to see you. Lies through his teeth, says he wants to be with you. Well, with his dick in a shampoo bottle, it’s no wonder he’s missed you.

I never knew this life was a race. In fact, I thought the whole god damn point was to take your time and take as long as you can.

To Those Who Walk Up Escalators:

You’re a dumb mother fucker, so next time just take the stairs.

How close are you, I hope I find you soon

And though you may not know that I exist,

There’s hope

Cause as you sleep at night, through the brain waves

I send a call for you and in that theres truth

With it I fill your lungs with all the air that comes

From me deep inside and it’ll give you life 

We might travel far but we’ll meet at the crossroads

We’ll fall so hard it will cut right through the bone

And we’ll reach so high that you touched a star

Reflect it in my eye and we’ll break these bars

We’ll break right of this rock

 And though we’re still apart, until our chapter starts

I’ll have you in my mind, and watch the time go by

Cause if its only short, I guess that all we’ve got

But we’ll keep that safe, watch it disintegrate

We might travel far but we’ll meet in the crossroads

We’ll fall so hard it will cut right through the bone

So wont your reach so high that you touched a star

Reflect it in my eye and make a place that’s ours

Send a call for love

And always be part of me

And always lie right next to me

I know your out there

mystery song

the fight is gone 

the mystery lies in the back view

out of sight it still sees you

next rounds on 

loosing love and faded tattoos

black and gray start to turn blue

to each his own mystery song

shes tossing stones 

her mystery starts in a phone booth

what was said is not the truth 

a policeman patrols 

not even knowing what his day turns to 

tears are shed and blood is too

to each his own mystery song

a song eyes open, a song eyes closing.

I started writing this song in 2009 and I guess I finished/recorded it early last year.

Maggie May (Come Lay With Me)

I had a dream that you were dying
so you put the dog to sleep
and you hung your head like those wedding bells
that you’ll drag behind your feet
oh, those rosy cheeks, all those broken teeth
you keep finding on the floor
you just pick them up and swallow them…

It’s written on my face so plain
that a crying child could read
that the men who love my mother
are either dead or inside me
I can’t shake it off
like your mother said
you make a face it’s gonna stay
so I’ve been working on my ignorance

we’re gonna be okay..
Maggie May, I swear

I had a dream that you were dying
now I’m do damn scared to sleep
so I bury my head inside my bed and I pull up all the sheets
I won’t close my eyes, I don’t wanna see
who’s hanging from that tree
I wish that Maggie May would come to bed with me

Becki Come Over

Becki I don’t know you

You don’t know me

But you stay in my mind

And when the feeling stops

I know there will be

An excuse that is right

Cause when I tell myself

To go and stop you

I then remind myself

that I don’t have to

and I’ve been stuck in this

Continuous loop

you steer the road

It’s not changing no

oh becki you dictate everything

and tell me how you want all this to be

and then at night you’ll close your eyes and

see me cause I see you in mine

I don’t really wanna say I give up

Cause when you go and give up

Theres a chance of missing out on things

You don’t want to listen to me babble

On and on about wrong time different day

You could turn around and say you liked it all

That you wanna hear more but we both know

Very well that you’ve heard it all before

Becki do you tell yourself that you could be anything

Cause I know that you know

Your beautiful and wear your heart on your sleeve

But you don’t see me I hope your dreaming

And keep yourself happy oh keep yourself laughing

I’ve come so far and gotten nowhere

Where do I start, becki come over

I’m such a jerk 

Becki
