you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…
when i was 18 i took in a runaway
she crawled into my bed on the 7th day
i played her music and i cooked her food
i did everything i thought i should
i let her sleep late and i paid her way
then her dad showed up one day
well she had grown…

you are like the rain that falls with the snow
or is it the other way around
i dont know
all i know is i love you
and cant get above you
it is driving with no place to go
the muscle and the bone i find
that keeps my heart in line
just…

i saw the curtains changing color
i watched the sun room come alive
i have been sitting in this rocker
wondering when you might arrive
i am hoping for redemption
cant stand the way i feel
i know it is only passing through me
rivers flood…
thanks
yes, this were recorded for the rpm challenge. i only drew on my note books for two songs and just for inspiration. i had already meet the 35 minutes of music requerment for the project but felt the subject of my friends death last february (shadow of the son) needed to be adressed. what a great experience (rpm)

amused, desire to feel inside and will i mean it
confused, and scared of what I'll find, and will I believe it
it's just a scratch but infection has already set it
we go on like the world will never end
no fear of tomorrow, no fear of today…
shame I make the same mistakes each time
adding up, piling on this list of my crimes
the biggest to the smallest weigh the same to me
buried beneath of mountain with no hope of getting free
holding on to my broken dreams
shame I have no…

i remember seeing that crazy picture you use of yourself when i first started the rpm thing and wondering what the hell you were up to. a poloroid gone bad. sure glad i continued to be curious
sorry to hear you have been sick but it sounds as if it was productive. now that i am listening i think i may have alreadt commented on this. i am not sure how to take you r songs. they are so honest yet i cant tell if you are making up the feelings as if you are a blues singer or if you truely are telling your story. what ever you have something very relivant.
This was written for RPM 2009, mostly in January and was inspired by from a mix of current events and personal journey.
Lyrics:
The Queen of Pearls is wearing diamonds
up and down her fingers
She holds the door to the castle
where memories…
