Lime 03:16
Lime Verse I came off disappointment, ego still intact Blinded by stacks of reservation Insincere sympathetic, like a carnival act I gathered my wits for adulation A garnish of woe, sprinkled with glee Finding fruit on a fig tree But I had no expectations, no commiserations Nothing to stand in my way Chorus She's a bold and brazen scene, with a bit of limerick in between (I can't ask for more) She's a match-head a breed apart, (I can't ask for more) enigmatic spirit flies from her heart She's seeking solace where it lies, I'm going surfing in her eyes I'm going surfing in her eyes Verse A mess of disaster, my choices unsound I skirted around my destination Falling impaled upon a carpet of gnats I ignored my impulsive and faked it But I took a chance and fell on my face Finding love had been misplaced But I had no expectations, no commiserations Nothing to stand in my way Chorus I'm going surfing in her eyes

Loving Anyway Verse If it all ended tomorrow, could it be that you would say? You lived up to the fullest of each and every day. You got up in the morning and thankfully inhale. Breathing in forgiveness and all that it entails. Pre-Chorus You ate from life's bowl of cherries and suckled on the fruit. Knowing all and all is ending, the pit is sweetly moot, but you say... Chorus I'm gonna fall in Loving Anyway. I'm gonna fall in love with you. I'm gonna fall on my face when I trip on the lace of my shoes, And that's when you'll see me true. Verse You've taken what is sacred and made it so profane. Attempting absolution, you can't erase the soul ingrained! Chorus Break ----Breaker, one nine, radio check-- -----It's dry out here in the desert--- ------I need something to drink------ ---------My thirst---------------------- ---------Help me---------------------- Pre-Chorus Chorus 2x

Grasshopper 03:10
Grasshopper When you walk downstream with the sun behind you, You can almost see all that's hidden from you. When you try too hard to avoid your passion, You will find yourself on another mission. As the iris wanes and the hazel blooms, You seek truth unfeign, life will breathe anew. In your time of need and your time of treasure, I'll be here to bleed for both equal measure. Break In your time of need and your time of treasure, I'll be here to bleed for both equal measure. 2x

Green Tea 03:28

Moon Most Wax Verse Come back to me, Mama. You've got elixir that I need. Wanton and stray, Mama. Before all is gray, you will find a way. Chorus We're just passing through On our way to another room Our way to another room. We just laugh at truth. 'Cause we see what we wanna see, That's including you and me. Verse Come back to me, Padre. You've got no need for all that speed. Come back to me, Sire. Well it's down to the wire, but everything's ok. Chorus Break Verse Come back to me, Mama! Whisper your secret in my ear. Come back to me, Padre. One day your wits will grip eclipse, let fortune find your way. Chorus And we see what we wanna see, that's including you and me, that's including you and me, that's including YOU AND ME!

Falling Blue 04:49
Falling Blue Verse Rogue wave of discord, curious to explore. Almost failing her majesty, What a tragedy, what it used to be, no more. Chorus The Fly's attracted by the Bane. Reactive brain is flying high. The rain is seeping through the wall...and Falling Blue. Verse Choices weighed, not ignored. deviate from the norm. Judgement clouding catastrophe, Does it have to be, do we need to be reborn? Chorus Guitar Solo Ahh, ahh, ahhh Ahh, ahh, ahhh...Hey Ahhh, ahhh.

about

My first "solo" album. A mix of rock, singer-songwriter and acoustic music performed with a full band. A concept record about love and humanity that cycles through resurrection.
