I'll get over this, There's no need to talk about it. As soon as you are gone I'll start to make myself forget. Just go.. There's really nothing left, you don't have to stay here (at all) I misunderstood your intentions here. There's still time…

So what's all this talk about? I don't think you are for real. To give up hope after you've gone so far would put you right back where you were yesterday. And you don't want that, Do you? Stop trying to force things. You know that you were never…

It's all just a blur (since the time I last saw you) Eat, sleep, and dream, but I can't feel. I live in the past so that I won't forget a single thing. I wonder again if you ever miss me? I'd give anything, but that's so cliche. You live in my…

Off of the 2011 RPM Challenge album Burds.

Last song written for the 2011 RPM challenge. It's about the decline of musical quality in the world... and perhaps in my own musical efforts. Lyrics: It’s becoming a world without heroes We're leading a life without dreams Our heartbeat…

Hello stranger. I've been waiting with a compliment for you, In case it's something that you don't already know. Hello stranger. There is always something left unsaid. But just ask me and i'll tell you, though I don't even know your name. We…

This song is just about watching young women hold on to relationships that they know are doomed.

Track from the 2011 RPM Challenge album Burds.

The past holds nothing for a man so proud. Nothing for a man like you. I feel like I haven't lived before tonight. That terrifies me. Would you like to take a walk or something? She keeps the truth held tight inside, but her eyes show.. something…

You'll find me there. Discover my smile. I'll be confused, and so will you, But it won't last for long. Because you and I were never meant for this place. Soon you'll see- We're better with wings. It's in the air, Reaching out for a hundred…

Both of us have made mistakes, I know I'm not so naive to think this is an empty canvas for me to paint my hopes on Even so, that doesn't mean there's no potential Even so, I'll still put myself on the line Just take it or leave it. This…

Sometimes things are just clear.

I was playing my mandolin and thought... this sounds like an Irish drinking song. So... that's more or less what it is.

If you've never been there, the how could you know? Funny you should mention faith, for mine has always been misplaced. A decade or more, and all I've learned couldn't fill these hands of mine. Couldn't fill this head of mine. If you've never…

With a new day comes new hope for tomorrow, It may be unfounded but it's all that we've got. So don't hide your eyes. No one's watching out for us. We're on our own, and we're all that we've got. In your shadow I am groping to find purpose. What…

There are no lyrics here... I will not put politics into music. However... the man gives me a very demented case of the blues. Therefore I played music to sooth my poor, sad soul.

Lack of self respect can blind, Lead to self destructive tendencies. But I am old enough to know this game. I cannot deny the truth to this. Still I... I've always recklessly believed that there was more to you than what they said you were. I…

Awoke tonight to realize that my girl had a broken heart, And like an image of me, she fell apart. You laid it all out on the line, another time. A shout out in the dark. And I should have come but it seemed too far at the time. In the end it…

From the 2011 RPM Challenge album Burds.

I'm horrible at foreign languages. So I apologize to anyone who is actually trying to translate this. It came to me spontaneously. Here's my interpretation. It could mean "Saint Love"... which references a song I wrote in 2002... and yet this…
