clenching teeth
through an iron jaw
your eyes are just slivers on your face
rosy glow
on your porcelain cheeks
there is nothing not a trace
happy, are you?
losing sleep
the weight is heavy
you can barely keep afloat
clenching…

been so long since I’ve been out of the city
maybe even longer than I can remember
tried to leave many times, oh what a pity
there’s no around anymore to take me away
should I be a hermit in a barrel
under the brush creek bridge…

full, the ocean inside
of meadows smelling softly
of butterflies that swallow
all, there inside, it all
it’s too painful to think
and I must be stronger
than this tornado in my
soul, there inside, to release
tidal waves erupt…
I'll tell you a secret, a lot of them started out as piano songs, and then I had to learn to play them on guitar. every song but 1 has multiple guitars trying to do just that.

horrible life
needs a favor tonight
keep the fakers away
and the hipsters and the leeches from my sight
horrible life
needs a drink or nine
shortly everything’s bright
and the music is neither awful nor sublime
it’s all…

on the other side of the river
swollen and impossible to wade
underneath a canopy of cool dark trees
she’s waiting there for me
see her eyes reflecting in the swiftly moving water
hear her voice merge with the rustle of the leaves…

take a stand against the man
when you’re backed into the corner
bears his teeth and growls
and scratches his claws on the floor
it takes a village to decide
how to count the many ways
to know your wrong from right

there’s hissing on the ground
keep your legs up high
listen for a rustle in the leaves
you can’t trust your eyes alone
it’s not a monster coming out
of a deep hole in the ground
this is real, I tell you
so real
you can’t trust…

El Matador
I was born into a fire
Only days alive and swallowed whole
Tight in the grip of man
Cold and calloused hand
Side-step the blow
Joy is dissolution
Joy is dissolution…
there's absolutely no reason why you guys aren't freaking famous and crap with songs like these. better than 99.99999999% of all the crap out there including my own stuff.
You still can't believe
That you'd accept the reprieve
Despite the excitement of the sound
That detached you from the crowd
When the foliage recedes
Contracting one more disease
Hidden in the fog that engulfs and surrounds
What was lost has now…
So you feel like singing
All your friends say you'll go far
Be a star
You'd cut your arm off for those yesses
Sell your soul for just one more
But what for
You know it's only karaoke
Fake plastic art
It's OK you've got your mentors
And they really…
Ten stubbed out Embassy lay scattered on the floor
The silhouette behind the curtain disappeared from sight once more
Listening in again
Listening in again
The target reappeared, this time his luck was in
The microwave detector read the password…
When you speak
Random words projected out
When you hear
All ignored except the shout
Claiming that you want to be
One of the last to shake the tree
When you see
And your eyes reflect the past
When you feel
But the question's not yet asked
As…

Leaving the porch light on
Waiting up for someone or just afraid of the dark
The devil’s in the drive
Laughing and flashing his headlights
Cause he knows that…
K.G. wanted to write a "good times" song and i think he hit this one out of the park. here in indy the highway does a big loop around the city. add some fun and music and that equals a rockin' good time.
A HOUSE CALLED BROKEN
youre in a house and your wasting away
youre in a house and its long long lonely day
youre in a house that you cant wait to forget
youre in a house all broken a little lie you tell yourself
but when it falls to pieces…

I'll tell you a secret, a lot of them started out as piano songs, and then I had to learn to play them on guitar. every song but 1 has multiple guitars trying to do just that.
