Run 04:10
"Real pussy can kill you." Spiralling home, I know I'll find you someday, Catching my breath realizing you are mine now where do I begin gotta find the words to say, Losing my breath gotta figure out where I can find way Falling quickly hoping you'll help me find myself Screaming without fear, God take me away from here, Take me anywhere else, Anywhere else It doesn't matter where I go, East or west I know I know, Brown hair, sunsets, tanlines Keep in touch with you my dear, a secret love with words I fear, 4 wheels, highways, street signs When you have thin skin, things seem to hurt more You can be torn apart She puts on some makeup, hides things she wishes she had never shared, covers up her sadness in there Well she's got thin skin, blue veins visible to the eye, Bruised on the surface, but in her veins her secrets will reside, Oh icy veins, icy veins, come back to me, And with those thoughts yes we can be free God take me away from here, Take me anywhere else, Anywhere else It doesn't matter where I go, East or west I know I know, Brown hair, sunsets, tanlines Keep in touch with you my dear, a secret love with words I fear, 4 wheels, highways, street signs So I'll pack my bags because I'm leaving soon, Yes I'm leaving you behind I just say goodbye and take my time, Let you know you've been good to me run, run, run, run Lord take me away from here, Take me anywhere else, Anywhere else It doesn't matter where I go, East or west I know I know, Brown hair, sunsets, tanlines Keep in touch with you my dear, a secret love with words I fear, 4 wheels, highways, street signs

Ontario 05:37
I’m so in love with something I can’t take, I want to find the keys to your heart baby, Take me back to Ontario, Take me back to Ontario…. Cold summer in the northland, Broken down and scarred, The only thing I cared about was this beat-up old guitar, I sat and wrote you love songs, With words you’d never hear, 12 hours to the South our love just seemed to disappear, And I held on hope and faith, But I withered away, To skin and bone I fought myself, through thick and thin I began to fade And we both changed in that darkness, Although we reached out for the light, It’s probably best for both of us to say one last goodbye I’m so in love with something I can’t take, I want to find the keys to your heart baby, Take me back to Ontario, Take me back to Ontario…. Moved out west to the mountains, To the black gold parade, My hands got stained, my heart swelled up, I’d never be the same, The freedom in the prairies, That took my hands and ran, Those old dirt roads and oil fields turned a boy into a man Even though I was ecstatic, Even though I was so free, I knew I was missing something; I had to find that missing piece So I drove for many hours, We had 48 to go, Back to the place where I belong, the place I called my home I’m so in love with something I can’t take, I want to find the keys to your heart baby, Take me back to Ontario, Take me back to Ontario…. So one day I met her and, Things fell apart, Brown eyed beauty from the Eastern side, came and stole my heart She made the world go by, Gave me some worth, Felt invincible by her side, Thought I’d never get hurt I’ll stick around and wait it out, Like a thorn in your side, I’ll be your shoulder, your superman, I’ll be your shining knight And if you feel like coming back; I’m in Ontario; We can do it all over again; turn this place into your home…. I’m so in love with something I can’t take, I wanna find the keys to your heart baby, Take me back to Ontario, Take me back to Ontario

Old friend from the south, I've been begging you to remember, All the days that we poured down Dreamed of you inside these tears, As the sound of your voice, Fills my ears Dreaming of your face, Where did you go, I don't know how to travel without you by my side, I am alone and this night, is cutting at my core I'm so damn amazed by you, you were everything that I ever needed, So why did you leave me here, SO I'll stand here defenceless, Begging you dear to call me by your side, I know that you'll never sleep tonight, I know that I might just die, But I'll be dreaming of your face, Old friend, From the south, I can see your breath, Where I lay, In the snow, Red stains by my chest

Games 04:15
Remember those cold walks through the night sky, Sitting out there beneath the street lights, It was our first time together now I think, Remember the way you stared at me, I sing louder louder louder, I wanna just move on in, But I've got moral standards, And I don't want to break anything, Please don't let this be; Please don't let this be a game, Cuz I'm so tired of playing them, And I never seem to win First kiss seemed to be romantic, I felt the electricity, With your arms around my neck dear, Your legs were wrapped around me, So dig on deeper take me with you, I feel your heartbeat through your chest, I want to hold you til the morning, These little words I must confess, Please don't let this be, Please don't let this be a game, Cuz I'm so tired of playing them, And I never seem to win, Just let me in; I will fight for you, Who do you want me to be, Yes I will fight to be with you, Cuz I know what I see, Breathe in breathe out my darling, Your scent intoxicates me, I'm drunk off your excitement, And through your eyes I see, Please don't let this be a game, Cuz I'm so tired of playing them, And I never seem to win.

Misery 02:35
Gold mine, I'm sitting on it, Wealth and tears doesn't add up to shit, Smile for your money and smile for the years, Cut away the misery and hide behind these fears Brown hair, silly green eyes, You're the woman I've grown to despise, But love you I will, and try as I might, I don't think I'll live without you in my life, Cold heart, battle-fought tears, Drink til you're dry and fight with your fears, Lie lie lie, lie to yourself, Misery's hell, misery's hell You laugh, you laugh, oh yes you laugh, I smile but it's just a facade, This pain is silly but yes it's true, My whole life I've been waiting on you Cold heart, battle-fought tears, Drink til you're dry and fight with your fears, Lie lie lie, lie to yourself, Misery's hell, misery's hell

Change 02:32
Turn on the lights dear, I'm dimming this down to see you, Let me smile back to the donut shop, where I used to greet you, A warm sunny saturday, the glaze running like baby you don't say, Lime green bikini top, and a smokin' chevrolet I remember those days, You smiled and used to be free, You'd be looking right back at me, and we swore that we'd never die young, I remember those days, We said we'd stay the same, But then along the way, We found out that things change

Villain 04:46
16 weeks ago I found myself a brand new home, Thought I made myself a few good friends – felt like we’d stick it out until the end We had laughs and we shared love, Their smiles lit my world up from above, I finally felt like I fit in, It’s been a while since I’ve heard from them Well I’m way too drunk to go home alone, Walk me through the dark look toward tomorrow, You held my hand, you stole my heart, You walked away and ripped it apart Oh, but I’m the villain. Yes its true; it’s all my fault, I’m not blaming you. I’m the villain. I always was, I broke her heart when you gained my trust I’m just a little bit of crazy, well everything goes with something baby. I’m young but I’m not free, don’t know who the fuck I’m supposed to be. You bring me up when I am down, The dark is winning now that you’re not around Well I’m way too drunk to go home alone, Walk me through the dark look toward tomorrow, You held my hand, you stole my heart, You walked away and ripped it apart Oh, but I’m the villain. Yes its true; it’s all my fault, I’m not blaming you. I’m the villain. I always was, I broke her heart when you gained my trust The future is bleak, but I’m looking through the glass; One last drink to forget about the past. What’s done is done, now we can’t go back, forget the sidewalks forget the laughs. You twisted the tale, It all came loose, this bars closing soon, so here’s to you Well I’m way too drunk to go home alone, Walk me through the dark look toward tomorrow, You held my hand, you stole my heart, You walked away and ripped it apart Oh, but I’m the villain. Yes its true; it’s all my fault, I’m not blaming you. I’m the villain. I always was, I broke her heart when you gained my trust

In the Rain 05:07
Did you ever listen to my words, Did you ever give me a thought, Was I just flying with the birds, Hoping you'd give me one shot, Was this false hope or dreaming, Was this love beyond your heart, Or am I just stuck here screaming, About the loneliness in art, Were you ever really there, were you ever really listening, Did you hear my endless pleas, did you see the teardrops glistening, Were you ever really there, Were you ever really listening, Did you hear my endless pleas, did you see the teardrops glistening, In the rain I will see you, In the rain I will try, In the rain I will kiss you, In the rain I will try Just to feel your arms around me, To twist your curly locks, If I could only get your taste back, And leave without this shock, I guess I took it all for granted, What little that we had, I guess I took it all for granted, I never listened to my dad In the rain I will see you, In the rain I will try, In the rain I will kiss you, In the rain I will try So I will hold you close to my heart, And I will never let you go, I'll dream of your green eyes, In the rain I will show In the rain I will see you, In the rain I will try, In the rain I will kiss you, But in the rain we will die, In the rain I will see you, In the rain I will try, In the rain I will kiss you, In the rain we will die, SO I will hold you close to my heart and I will never let you go, I'll be dreaming of your green eyes in the rain I will show, Yes I will hold you close to my heart and I will never let you go, I will dream of your green eyes girl and in the rain I will show And I loved you dear, You were something so clear, And I could never ever... Leaving you behind, Sit around the diamond eyes, Drive across the highway, and speed up like... In the rain I will see you, In the rain I will try, In the rain I will kiss you, But in the rain we will die

about

This is just a fun collection of some of my recordings. This isn't anything special. This is just something from me to whoever takes the time to listen. Whatever I write just comes and goes, and I enjoy this process. I hope whoever listens can enjoy the music and the meaning behind the songs more than anything.
