December
Somewhere in the color wheel
Nostalgia sits
Where colors feel
And everything you want
Is easy to remember
And sometimes colors fade
From too much sun
From yesterdays
But they always shine bright
Remembering December
Nostalgia sits
Where colors feel
And everything you want
Is easy to remember
And sometimes colors fade
From too much sun
From yesterdays
But they always shine bright
Remembering December

Sorted Troubles
As I shuffle all my troubles and lay them on the table,
I would if I could, but I don't think I'm able
To sort apart my worries, in any order that makes sense
And why the cards you left me only have Jokers in the deck
No, you left here in a hurry, even quicker than you came
You said something about Seattle, and how you miss the rain
But in your most recent post it had you on a train
I guess I couldn't blame you for heading to L.A.
Now, I spend my time praying, maybe begging by mistake
Counting all my blessings that still might come my way ...
I would if I could, but I don't think I'm able
To sort apart my worries, in any order that makes sense
And why the cards you left me only have Jokers in the deck
No, you left here in a hurry, even quicker than you came
You said something about Seattle, and how you miss the rain
But in your most recent post it had you on a train
I guess I couldn't blame you for heading to L.A.
Now, I spend my time praying, maybe begging by mistake
Counting all my blessings that still might come my way ...

Witness
She reades the bible
Believes in forgiveness
Thinks I can be saved
But I need a witness
To keep me in line
One step at a time
I need a witness
To let His light shine
I need a witness
I need an army
of angels and saints
Sent here to guard me
from all the flirtations
Of the flesh and the bone
Yes, sinning comes easy
When I'm left alone
So send me a witness
To bring me back home
I need a witness
Please send me a witness
Believes in forgiveness
Thinks I can be saved
But I need a witness
To keep me in line
One step at a time
I need a witness
To let His light shine
I need a witness
I need an army
of angels and saints
Sent here to guard me
from all the flirtations
Of the flesh and the bone
Yes, sinning comes easy
When I'm left alone
So send me a witness
To bring me back home
I need a witness
Please send me a witness

Talk to Me
Talk to me
I am coming down
Crashing into walls
And your voice is the only sound
I want to hear—-my dear
Talk to me
I don’t know why I always go
So far away
From anything that is real
-- just to feel
Talk to me
Outer space is just a place
Between here and I don’t care
Where I can fly without the weight
Of waiting to be okay
Talk to to me
If I make it back in the morning
With northern lights inside my eyes
At least you’ll know that I was trying
To hang my star inside the skies ...
I am coming down
Crashing into walls
And your voice is the only sound
I want to hear—-my dear
Talk to me
I don’t know why I always go
So far away
From anything that is real
-- just to feel
Talk to me
Outer space is just a place
Between here and I don’t care
Where I can fly without the weight
Of waiting to be okay
Talk to to me
If I make it back in the morning
With northern lights inside my eyes
At least you’ll know that I was trying
To hang my star inside the skies ...

Headstones
She’s like a breeze winding through the headstones
Bouncing off names of people she used to know
And now she’s only 12 steps away
From redemption or an early grave
But the ghosts inside her frontal lobe
Tell her where to step- where to go
Just twelve steps through hell’s different noises
Demons on her shoulder speaking in friendly voices
She always comes when they call
The poor girl never had a chance at all
Bouncing off names of people she used to know
And now she’s only 12 steps away
From redemption or an early grave
But the ghosts inside her frontal lobe
Tell her where to step- where to go
Just twelve steps through hell’s different noises
Demons on her shoulder speaking in friendly voices
She always comes when they call
The poor girl never had a chance at all

Another Fallen Star
Somehow you forgot that
Falling stars always leave behind
A darkness where they used to shine.
And there’s no such thing as a second try
When the curtain drops to say goodbye.
You chased the spotlight to the other side
And stared so long and it left you blind.
And no one really missed you at all-
Just another star about to fall.
How does it feel to be forgotten before you are gone?
The last line of a song that no one sings along.
How does it feel to blend into a crowd?
Waiting for applause but no one is around.
Oh how does it...
Falling stars always leave behind
A darkness where they used to shine.
And there’s no such thing as a second try
When the curtain drops to say goodbye.
You chased the spotlight to the other side
And stared so long and it left you blind.
And no one really missed you at all-
Just another star about to fall.
How does it feel to be forgotten before you are gone?
The last line of a song that no one sings along.
How does it feel to blend into a crowd?
Waiting for applause but no one is around.
Oh how does it...

Audacity of the Sun
The audacity of the sun
to set on a day like this.
Surrendering to streetlights
and to the moon's glow.
Just a forgotten warm-up act
who could have become the Beatles.
It gave up too easily.
Traded all of its gold
for some nostalgia.
Gambled that tomorrow
would be an even better day.
to set on a day like this.
Surrendering to streetlights
and to the moon's glow.
Just a forgotten warm-up act
who could have become the Beatles.
It gave up too easily.
Traded all of its gold
for some nostalgia.
Gambled that tomorrow
would be an even better day.

Thank You
Thank you for the silence
So I could get lost inside my head
So I could graffiti over thoughts
With the different colors that I have bled
Thank you for the kindness
That allowed me to feel alone
To be touched by the darkness
From better angels that I have known
And thank you for the pain
And for the honesty that it brought
The forgiveness that I needed
And all the lessons that I forgot
You never gave me what I wanted
But you always give me what I need
You only saw my better self
When my better self I couldn’t...
So I could get lost inside my head
So I could graffiti over thoughts
With the different colors that I have bled
Thank you for the kindness
That allowed me to feel alone
To be touched by the darkness
From better angels that I have known
And thank you for the pain
And for the honesty that it brought
The forgiveness that I needed
And all the lessons that I forgot
You never gave me what I wanted
But you always give me what I need
You only saw my better self
When my better self I couldn’t...

Just a Dream
I can hear the stars dance upon the water
I can see the breeze lie inside her eyes
I can feel the touch of when it all got started
And within a blink I come to realize
It was only just a dream
There was nothing real, only borrowed
There were no todays and no tomorrows
Nothing left to keep, nothing left to let go
For it was only just a dream
For someone else to find
She was never mine
It was only just a dream
I can see the breeze lie inside her eyes
I can feel the touch of when it all got started
And within a blink I come to realize
It was only just a dream
There was nothing real, only borrowed
There were no todays and no tomorrows
Nothing left to keep, nothing left to let go
For it was only just a dream
For someone else to find
She was never mine
It was only just a dream

Set Sail
I watch ships roll along the water- they come and go
They pass with faceless strangers
Where they are headed- I don’t know
There’s peace in not knowing,
What they have left behind,
Or the troubles they are leaving,
Just stowaways in their minds.
A piece of me sets sail with every passing ship.
That follows every star, that’s heard my every wish
And when they return from everywhere they’ve been,
I can come back tomorrow- to set sail with them again
They pass with faceless strangers
Where they are headed- I don’t know
There’s peace in not knowing,
What they have left behind,
Or the troubles they are leaving,
Just stowaways in their minds.
A piece of me sets sail with every passing ship.
That follows every star, that’s heard my every wish
And when they return from everywhere they’ve been,
I can come back tomorrow- to set sail with them again

The Upside
Even in the light things feel heavy
Climbing along ridges of the upside
Pulled by the taunts of two horizons
Each having a different story to tell
With different endings and beginnings
But I feel good - not the same good
I felt before I saw the second horizon
Now, all the upsides carry the load
Of downsides that won’t let go
Even when I choose the right horizon
Climbing along ridges of the upside
Pulled by the taunts of two horizons
Each having a different story to tell
With different endings and beginnings
But I feel good - not the same good
I felt before I saw the second horizon
Now, all the upsides carry the load
Of downsides that won’t let go
Even when I choose the right horizon

The End Again
The end begins again
Between the pause
Of musical notes
That drop from the air
An orchestra’s pain
Too heavy to hold
By the violin strings
We held hands to
Until we could not
You are gone
And became a prayer
That starts and ends day
Wishing eternal rest
But in the end
Tomorrow begins again
Between the pause
Of musical notes
That drop from the air
An orchestra’s pain
Too heavy to hold
By the violin strings
We held hands to
Until we could not
You are gone
And became a prayer
That starts and ends day
Wishing eternal rest
But in the end
Tomorrow begins again
