In Between
There’s strange things in everything
And we got caught in the in between
Where prayers pray for the blind to see
But no one really knows
Where we’re at and where we need to go
Step back into nothing’s stare
To feel only the orphan’s glare
Of a past we lived and just left behind
But then it never really crossed our minds
Our past would finally unwind
From winds from long ago
How the hell were we supposed to know
Where we’ve been is where we need to go
And we got caught in the in between
Where prayers pray for the blind to see
But no one really knows
Where we’re at and where we need to go
Step back into nothing’s stare
To feel only the orphan’s glare
Of a past we lived and just left behind
But then it never really crossed our minds
Our past would finally unwind
From winds from long ago
How the hell were we supposed to know
Where we’ve been is where we need to go

Old and Torn Down Place
Missing a torn down place
It was perfect for a time
I kept a lot of secrets there
Some I’m still trying to find
Somewhere buried in that earth
Remain some young familiar faces
With stories long gone by
And the laughter that they gave us
Now, I only visit when it’s dark
When shadows can be bent and shaped
Into things my mind misses most
From an old and torn down place
It was perfect for a time
I kept a lot of secrets there
Some I’m still trying to find
Somewhere buried in that earth
Remain some young familiar faces
With stories long gone by
And the laughter that they gave us
Now, I only visit when it’s dark
When shadows can be bent and shaped
Into things my mind misses most
From an old and torn down place

Lost Together
I was born when the tide was in
When time was broken
And clocks didn’t spin
I was just a whisper
Waiting to make a sound
And then you came around
Painting in all the trees
Gave a song for the birds to sing
Brought enough light for me to see
We should get lost together
But only if it’s forever
In midnight’s bend
Where time just ends
And we are left to just wonder
What if we met when we were younger
Let’s get lost forever
When time was broken
And clocks didn’t spin
I was just a whisper
Waiting to make a sound
And then you came around
Painting in all the trees
Gave a song for the birds to sing
Brought enough light for me to see
We should get lost together
But only if it’s forever
In midnight’s bend
Where time just ends
And we are left to just wonder
What if we met when we were younger
Let’s get lost forever

Set Me on the Water
Set me on the water
Where the current turns to gold
Sing me Hallelujah
To the horizons of my soul
Blow just one kiss
That sets upon the breeze
Together we’ll feel forever
Until you’re here with me
We are one in everything
All sounds, smells and sights
Baptized in the waters
That give eternal light
Where the current turns to gold
Sing me Hallelujah
To the horizons of my soul
Blow just one kiss
That sets upon the breeze
Together we’ll feel forever
Until you’re here with me
We are one in everything
All sounds, smells and sights
Baptized in the waters
That give eternal light

Weeds in the Garden
I go to the garden
When I want to ease my mind
It’s only in the garden
Where the weeds ain’t hard to find
I can see all my problems
All the things that need attention
Oh, how I wish you were a garden
So I knew what needed fixen
I’ve tried a million times
A million one if you count today
How to make you happy
Before this fog up and stays
And It really is know wonder
With all our puzzles without edges
I love you’s- without the pledges
That has brought me to the garden
To pull the weeds you left...
When I want to ease my mind
It’s only in the garden
Where the weeds ain’t hard to find
I can see all my problems
All the things that need attention
Oh, how I wish you were a garden
So I knew what needed fixen
I’ve tried a million times
A million one if you count today
How to make you happy
Before this fog up and stays
And It really is know wonder
With all our puzzles without edges
I love you’s- without the pledges
That has brought me to the garden
To pull the weeds you left...

Masquerade
I’m not fooled by her strength
That masquerades to give ease
To the pain that she must feel
But she never lets me see
All the fears inside her head
The same ones inside mine
But we will never say a word
Because the words we can’t find
Words would only make this real
Better to sit silent with the lies
There’s nothing the truth can bring
That we don’t see in each other’s eye
She’s not fooled by my strength
That masquerades to give ease
To the pain that she must feel
But she never lets me see
All the fears inside her head
The same ones inside mine
But we will never say a word
Because the words we can’t find
Words would only make this real
Better to sit silent with the lies
There’s nothing the truth can bring
That we don’t see in each other’s eye
She’s not fooled by my strength

Blink
The color that splits orange to red
Subtle like folk song strings
That fades into the twilight’s blink
Or on a chorus that no one sings
Then before you notice it is gone
Like the folk singer and his song
Lost somewhere to the in between
Where beauty goes to die
In the blink of a twilight’s eye
Subtle like folk song strings
That fades into the twilight’s blink
Or on a chorus that no one sings
Then before you notice it is gone
Like the folk singer and his song
Lost somewhere to the in between
Where beauty goes to die
In the blink of a twilight’s eye

6 Feet Away
Six feet in between
The sorrow of different tomorrows
In worlds of different times
With nothing shared or borrowed
Other than the pain
That sits behind to remind
A touch I will never feel
Of a beauty that’s gone blind
In the silent darkness
Of your leaving and my grieving
You’ve gone to a better place
Left me to believing
That the words I place
Upon your grave, they will stay
For you to hear
I’m only 6 feet away
The sorrow of different tomorrows
In worlds of different times
With nothing shared or borrowed
Other than the pain
That sits behind to remind
A touch I will never feel
Of a beauty that’s gone blind
In the silent darkness
Of your leaving and my grieving
You’ve gone to a better place
Left me to believing
That the words I place
Upon your grave, they will stay
For you to hear
I’m only 6 feet away

Maybe I'll Be Honest
To be honest
I’m going to have to lie
To be loving
I’m going to say goodbye
You only know the half of me
The other half won’t make us full
I wanna be honest
But it would be too cruel
Or is it better to pretend
We're best friends
And all my flaws
Are what you love
Or is better to ignore
The things you can’t ignore
And pretend it’s love
I left you all my secrets
Inside my screams and shouts
I left you with all my bruises
Still you won’t get out
Come pretend with me
The better half of...
I’m going to have to lie
To be loving
I’m going to say goodbye
You only know the half of me
The other half won’t make us full
I wanna be honest
But it would be too cruel
Or is it better to pretend
We're best friends
And all my flaws
Are what you love
Or is better to ignore
The things you can’t ignore
And pretend it’s love
I left you all my secrets
Inside my screams and shouts
I left you with all my bruises
Still you won’t get out
Come pretend with me
The better half of...

Normal Occasion
Somewhere along the path
Of a normal day with simple words
Under a sun mostly shaded
And flowers showing only stem
The day became an occasion
Without knowing, search or want
The day would be marked forever
For many- not all
As a day to be retold, reshaped, reframed
Overtime the occasion will grow to legend
Legend will be given divine rights
Divine rights will provide the purpose
For the coming of this occasion
But not for me, not now
Today I will weep
And miss the normal day
Of a normal day with simple words
Under a sun mostly shaded
And flowers showing only stem
The day became an occasion
Without knowing, search or want
The day would be marked forever
For many- not all
As a day to be retold, reshaped, reframed
Overtime the occasion will grow to legend
Legend will be given divine rights
Divine rights will provide the purpose
For the coming of this occasion
But not for me, not now
Today I will weep
And miss the normal day

Both Sides of Dark
I’ve been doing all my living on both sides of the dark
Comin’ in the evening - going before morning’s start
And somewhere in the middle where the sun splits up the halves
Her crooked angel smile comes and kicks me in the ass
Because she has me in her grip as my grip smashes stones
Just waiting on the darkness so I can drive back home
Singing through my headlights to all her favorite songs
Tripping up the words, 'cause she always gets them wrong
Because...
I’m comin home my dear
To the best part of my day
It’s...
Comin’ in the evening - going before morning’s start
And somewhere in the middle where the sun splits up the halves
Her crooked angel smile comes and kicks me in the ass
Because she has me in her grip as my grip smashes stones
Just waiting on the darkness so I can drive back home
Singing through my headlights to all her favorite songs
Tripping up the words, 'cause she always gets them wrong
Because...
I’m comin home my dear
To the best part of my day
It’s...

Prayer and Joke
As I smoked until my eyes
Rolled in the clouds
That passed me by
I thought my fall from grace
would take so long?
But I was wrong.
Now I march with the fallen
With no names worth recallin’
In prayer or a passin joke
Lost souls don’t mean the living
The dead get the forgiving
Most of them would rather not be woke
No, no preacher could reach me
Or no teacher could teach me
Of the lies on the roads that lie ahead
But as I fall from grace
With the devil’s grin upon my face
Let...
Rolled in the clouds

I thought my fall from grace
would take so long?
But I was wrong.
Now I march with the fallen
With no names worth recallin’
In prayer or a passin joke
Lost souls don’t mean the living
The dead get the forgiving
Most of them would rather not be woke
No, no preacher could reach me
