Poet Introduction
I write songs without a tune. I'm a story teller. Sometimes I write about the news, sometimes about feelings, sometimes I just write.

The Ticking Clock
As I grow older, time passes by
Seems like day after day
I lose another friend I've known
Everyone passes away
But I'm still hanging on
Sometimes I have to ask why?
I can't describe the pain
Or the emptiness I feel inside
Time isn't kind to anyone
So it seems to me
We're all forgotten in the end
Lost to posterity
Whether we rot in the ground
Or go ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Even the strongest metals
Decay and turn to rust
~Chorus~
Where do we go when we pass
There's only one...
Seems like day after day
I lose another friend I've known
Everyone passes away
But I'm still hanging on
Sometimes I have to ask why?
I can't describe the pain
Or the emptiness I feel inside
Time isn't kind to anyone
So it seems to me
We're all forgotten in the end
Lost to posterity
Whether we rot in the ground
Or go ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Even the strongest metals
Decay and turn to rust
~Chorus~
Where do we go when we pass
There's only one...

Baby it's Cold Out
Outside my window
A leaveless tree encased in ice
Like my heart beating in my chest
I see you standing there
I'm feeling the heat rising in the room
Are you my spring thaw
Or a voyeur watching this snowman's doom?
Are you my savior?
Or just another flavor, I can't taste
Baby it's cold out
But really it's even colder deep inside
Are you going to be my heatwave?
Can you take me for a warming ride?
[Chorus]
Because there is cold and there's is hot
There is love and there is not
I need to know which you've got ...
A leaveless tree encased in ice
Like my heart beating in my chest
I see you standing there
I'm feeling the heat rising in the room
Are you my spring thaw
Or a voyeur watching this snowman's doom?
Are you my savior?
Or just another flavor, I can't taste
Baby it's cold out
But really it's even colder deep inside
Are you going to be my heatwave?
Can you take me for a warming ride?
[Chorus]
Because there is cold and there's is hot
There is love and there is not
I need to know which you've got ...

Sad Memories
We had a good run
We made it a good while
Then things just sorta fell apart
You know, we had our share of trials
No matter how we tried to get our problems resolved
We had to watch as all we had just sort of dissolved
When I look at the past
Wondering if it's possible to make love last
I gotta say no thank you please
Cause I got nothing left but sad memories
Nothing Left but sad memories
Sometimes memories hurt, sometimes they cause me pain
But then sometimes they make me want to love again
Sometimes I think...
We made it a good while
Then things just sorta fell apart
You know, we had our share of trials
No matter how we tried to get our problems resolved
We had to watch as all we had just sort of dissolved
When I look at the past
Wondering if it's possible to make love last
I gotta say no thank you please
Cause I got nothing left but sad memories
Nothing Left but sad memories
Sometimes memories hurt, sometimes they cause me pain
But then sometimes they make me want to love again
Sometimes I think...

Maybe I'm the Toxic One
Warning][warning]
Stay away from me
[Warning][warning]
Maximum toxicity
Another romantic relationship ends like they do
Happens everytime, every one I get into
When it comes to relationships, I'm think I'm done
Looks like I may be the toxic one
Another romance ends in mental abuse
Seems like everytime someone blows a fuse
She walked out the door and now she's gone
Must be that I'm the toxic one
~Chorus~
My toxicity level is at max
[Warning][warning]
Time for me to face The facts
It's best for me that...
Stay away from me
[Warning][warning]
Maximum toxicity
Another romantic relationship ends like they do
Happens everytime, every one I get into
When it comes to relationships, I'm think I'm done
Looks like I may be the toxic one
Another romance ends in mental abuse
Seems like everytime someone blows a fuse
She walked out the door and now she's gone
Must be that I'm the toxic one
~Chorus~
My toxicity level is at max
[Warning][warning]
Time for me to face The facts
It's best for me that...

My Therapy
Went walking barefoot along the crowded beach, sun kissing my nose
Shuffling just beyond the water's reach
Sand sifting through my toes
Hiking the well-used trail alone, shaded by the tallest pine trees
Brings me to a peaceful state
Puts my racing mind at ease
--Chorus--
Every grain of sand that filters through my hand
Every drop of water in this endless sea
Every blade of grass in this wilderness
They are my therapy
Every flower that hugs the road
Every hickory or ancient oak tree
They are my mental medicine ...
Shuffling just beyond the water's reach
Sand sifting through my toes
Hiking the well-used trail alone, shaded by the tallest pine trees
Brings me to a peaceful state
Puts my racing mind at ease
--Chorus--
Every grain of sand that filters through my hand
Every drop of water in this endless sea
Every blade of grass in this wilderness
They are my therapy
Every flower that hugs the road
Every hickory or ancient oak tree
They are my mental medicine ...

If only I had been
Do I believe in reincarnation, the answer is no
I don't think there is a heaven, we got no place to go
I believe my ship came and went
I think my tokens have all been spent
When my chances came, I took the bus
I've got nothing left but total disgust
Think my world is coming to an end
I'm left without a penny to spend
I wasn't brave enough to do something with my life
~Chorus~
If only I had taken that chance
If only I had stepped out on that limb
Maybe I could have been someone
Instead of sinking I could...
I don't think there is a heaven, we got no place to go
I believe my ship came and went
I think my tokens have all been spent
When my chances came, I took the bus
I've got nothing left but total disgust
Think my world is coming to an end
I'm left without a penny to spend
I wasn't brave enough to do something with my life
~Chorus~
If only I had taken that chance
If only I had stepped out on that limb
Maybe I could have been someone
Instead of sinking I could...

walls of steel, bands of gold
when you know the hurt is real
but your broken
and numb
to how you feel
now your heart is under seal
surrounded by thick
heavy walls of steel
you know
no matter who they are
they'll never break through
no matter what they say
no matter what they do
you know
your never going to change
you'll never break free
who you are now
is who you will always be
sometimes the chains that bind you
are heavier than you can stand
sometimes the light that blinds you
comes from a golden wedding band
but your broken
and numb
to how you feel
now your heart is under seal
surrounded by thick
heavy walls of steel
you know
no matter who they are
they'll never break through
no matter what they say
no matter what they do
you know
your never going to change
you'll never break free
who you are now
is who you will always be
sometimes the chains that bind you
are heavier than you can stand
sometimes the light that blinds you
comes from a golden wedding band

Was It Worth It?
I don't know exactly what's true
Did you leave her or did she leave you?
Was it worth it?
Tell me, tell me, was it worth it?
I don't know exactly what's right
One thing for sure, your going home alone tonight
Was it worth it?
Tell me, tell me, was it worth it?
You left all your friends back home in the dust
Said she was a Ferrari that would never rust
Getting new friends, you insisted, was a must
Now we all look at you... in disgust
Well was it worth it?
Tell me, tell me, was it worth it?
I...
Did you leave her or did she leave you?
Was it worth it?
Tell me, tell me, was it worth it?
I don't know exactly what's right
One thing for sure, your going home alone tonight
Was it worth it?
Tell me, tell me, was it worth it?
You left all your friends back home in the dust
Said she was a Ferrari that would never rust
Getting new friends, you insisted, was a must
Now we all look at you... in disgust
Well was it worth it?
Tell me, tell me, was it worth it?
I...

We Work Too Hard
It's 9 a.m. on Friday morning
Eyes on the clock, won't need no warning
Been working all week
Just getting through
Work a little, dream a little
Everyone else doing the same thing too
Every one of us keeping an eye on the boss
Having to work overtime would be our loss
Everything seems to be going well
Until that clock clicks we just can't tell
[Chorus]
Cause we work too hard
We work too long
We're feeling pretty weak
Hoping the weekend will make us strong
We'll get with our friends
And dance all night ...
Eyes on the clock, won't need no warning
Been working all week
Just getting through
Work a little, dream a little
Everyone else doing the same thing too
Every one of us keeping an eye on the boss
Having to work overtime would be our loss
Everything seems to be going well
Until that clock clicks we just can't tell
[Chorus]
Cause we work too hard
We work too long
We're feeling pretty weak
Hoping the weekend will make us strong
We'll get with our friends
And dance all night ...

Rise Above
I used to see that sparkle in your eyes
But now the light seems dim
Buried under a mountain of lies
Only because you believed in him
I used to see your wonderful smile
But now that smile has disappeared
Sit down next to me for awhile
Things aren't as bad as you feared
Just because you were fooled by someone
Someone you thought loved you
Nothing you did wrong, could have been anyone
There was nothing you could do
Just because the one you loved was a fool
Just because you took a chance on love
No way you could...
But now the light seems dim
Buried under a mountain of lies
Only because you believed in him
I used to see your wonderful smile
But now that smile has disappeared
Sit down next to me for awhile
Things aren't as bad as you feared
Just because you were fooled by someone
Someone you thought loved you
Nothing you did wrong, could have been anyone
There was nothing you could do
Just because the one you loved was a fool
Just because you took a chance on love
No way you could...

Purr
Rub my belly
That'll make me purr
Turn me into jelly
Make my feline mind a blur
But don't kid yourself
You won't get anything more
I'm independent
You'll make me go to war
~Chorus ~
When the claws come out
You better run for your life
Don't try to cage me
Don't try to make me your wife
All I want is to be on my own
Meow
This crazy world
of which I've been thrown
Food in my belly
Yeah, that makes me purr
Something tasty
That'll do it for sure
Never try...
That'll make me purr
Turn me into jelly
Make my feline mind a blur
But don't kid yourself
You won't get anything more
I'm independent
You'll make me go to war
~Chorus ~
When the claws come out
You better run for your life
Don't try to cage me
Don't try to make me your wife
All I want is to be on my own
Meow
This crazy world
of which I've been thrown
Food in my belly
Yeah, that makes me purr
Something tasty
That'll do it for sure
Never try...

Sunset
You ever try to describe a sunset?
Beauty for the eyes
Nothing you can say can match it
You shouldn't even try
Same feeling I get when I talk about you
You've never known the way I feel
I've kept it to myself
Wasn't sure what I thought was real
Put my feelings on a shelf
Had to make sure what I expressed was true
~Chorus~
I can't keep my love inside my heart anymore
I feel like holding it in, I'll explode from my very core
You can just turn and walk away
Or you can...
Beauty for the eyes
Nothing you can say can match it
You shouldn't even try
Same feeling I get when I talk about you
You've never known the way I feel
I've kept it to myself
Wasn't sure what I thought was real
Put my feelings on a shelf
Had to make sure what I expressed was true
~Chorus~
I can't keep my love inside my heart anymore
I feel like holding it in, I'll explode from my very core
You can just turn and walk away
Or you can...
