Searching for Songs
I am lost.
I am not here.
The person you're calling for
Can't respond.
She is paralyzed
In a dream, an illusion.
She is not here.
She heard a song
That spoke to her
And now she is not here.
So leave the room,
Please close the door,
She's trying to concentrate.
There's a song playing on the radio,
A world that I await.
There's a shoreline in California,
An empty space in New York state.
I'll sing along
To my favorite songs
...
I am not here.

She is paralyzed
In a dream, an illusion.
She is not here.
She heard a song
That spoke to her
And now she is not here.
So leave the room,
Please close the door,

An empty space in New York state.

Human.
When the world smiles through fear
And friends fall apart,
There are sparks to keep a fire going through the night.
When the next twenty minutes are life-changing ,
And you suddenly find the secrets you've been searching for,
We find sunlight.
Because I'm not hanging up until you do,
Because I love the things I don't have to,
Because i know the feeling when the words you want to say
Have already been spoken.
Because my work clothes are the same ones I play in,
Because I can tell you
That I know things are getting better.
Because I can forget...
And friends fall apart,
There are sparks to keep a fire going through the night.
When the next twenty minutes are life-changing ,
And you suddenly find the secrets you've been searching for,
We find sunlight.
Because I'm not hanging up until you do,
Because I love the things I don't have to,
Because i know the feeling when the words you want to say
Have already been spoken.
Because my work clothes are the same ones I play in,
Because I can tell you
That I know things are getting better.

Dear Danny (RIP)
I wrote this song about a friend who committed suicide back in September. The song basically entails the weeks leading up to it and my thoughts on his passing a week after his funeral. Danny, wherever you are, I love and miss you so much, big bro.
*******
Dear Danny
You are so beautiful
And I'm trying so hard
To see you clearly
I know you're scared
But I'm just the same
It's not your fault,
You're not to blame
Dear Danny
You are so beautiful
Dear Danny
Your secrets don't own you
No one knows you
Like I'm trying to...

Thoughts In Snow
Remembering you
Is like remembering
The ice cold burn
Of frostbite.
I never really had it,
But I thought I did
On some velvet winter.
How foolish of me.
Glass is just like you,
I can see right through it.
Your breaking point
Mirrors mine.
Shattered on my empty floor,
You dig into skin
And leave me pained, bleeding.
You slipped from my hands.
Is like remembering
The ice cold burn
Of frostbite.
I never really had it,
But I thought I did
On some velvet winter.
How foolish of me.
Glass is just like you,
I can see right through it.
Your breaking point
Mirrors mine.
Shattered on my empty floor,
You dig into skin
And leave me pained, bleeding.
You slipped from my hands.

Watching God
I’ve been rambling on for too long
There’s a vulture at my feet
The wolves return from behind valley grass
I was sure I smelled defeat
But instead, a voice came up
And whispered so softly to me
“If you eyes are watching God, may it be the Good Lord whom you seek.”
Now I’m trying to keep quiet
With a straight face to the world
But you know, there’s always someone
Who don’t agree with what occurs
But I believe that somewhere
Yeah, somewhere out there, you see
That there’s just gotta be someone, somewhere out there for me
And the...

The Way It Is
You’re too sad, so I’ll make you sane
Sane, that’s what you’re gonna be.”
Yes, I am sad, but that’s how it is.
Just how it is, how it will be.
I’d rather be dead than sane.
“You’re too restless, so I’ll make you normal.
Normal, that’s what you’re gonna be.”
I’ll admit I get restless, but that’s how I am.
Just how I am, how I will be.
I’d rather be dead than normal.
“You don’t fit in, so I’ll make you me.
Me, that’s what you’re gonna be.”
Fitting in was never the plan, and that’s how it is.
Just how it is, how it will...
Sane, that’s what you’re gonna be.”
Yes, I am sad, but that’s how it is.
Just how it is, how it will be.
I’d rather be dead than sane.
“You’re too restless, so I’ll make you normal.

I’ll admit I get restless, but that’s how I am.
