I make music because I can't help it, because I hope it helps, because it's who I am, because it's who we are.

I keep a small prayer in my guitar case of Saint Cecilia, patroness of Composers, Music, and Musicians:
"Lady of Angelic Harmonies and Unshakeable Devotion. May the Music I Make Benefit All Who Hear It. I Am Grateful and Joyous I Have This Gift To Share With Everyone."

- Track Name: The End
-
Another moonlit stroll in the park
Another useless girl in your arms
But you've got to get creative
I simply don't know what to tell you
It doesn't get more plain than that
But if you really want an answer
All you have to do is ask
Even if you've had enough
It's not the end of the world
It's not the end of the world
It's all caving in
Too dark to see
I'm falling again
No saving me
It's not the end of the world
It's not the end of the world - Track Name: Like All Things
-
How's this any different
from the story of my life?
Constant inconsistency—
it's the only thing I have.
It's been the same since second grade,
but I keep growing anyway
(if you could call it that).
I'd rather think of it as
involuntary velocity—
You try so hard to stop
but life just goes on and on.
And before you know it
the years have come and gone
and all the things you ever loved or held as true
have come and gone too.
Still I'll be here
waiting for someone like you to appear
in my life again
and give me a reason to smile and to live.
But like all things
this love must come to end.
Our tears and memories will dry.
2x - Track Name: So It Goes
-
What a funny way to go
After all that we've been through
Shake my hand 'cause we both know
This is what we need to do
I've made a new friend
That makes me feel human again
I think that that's a sign
That it's time—
To leave this all behind
It may be months before I sleep again
Filling my empty bed with empty friends
Trying to forget
The emptiness
I miss your arms
And I miss your warmth
But our love was growing cold
So I know—
It was time for me to go
I'm starting all over again
Can't believe
You're just a ghost in my head
And I'm free
And when we meet again
We'll be distant as bookends
Small talk with me
Smile and be sweet
Oh, we'll pretend we didn't know
All the things that made the two of us go
Crazy
You've missed me, I've changed you, you'll say
You don't see us as a mistake
So why don't we lay for the sake
of old times
in each other's arms?
"It won't do any harm."
But when the morning comes
You'll be gone
After all that we've been through. - Track Name: A Rock Still Turns To Dust
-
What are we if not for sharing life?
Ant antennas mingling for the sake of death?
The rock does turn to dust where flowers grow.
A rock still turns to dust, and that is love.
This life is full of walking voids
An empty life of light and noise
That music someday could become
If we were not so alone
But fear and hate do overcome
The best of us, and worst of all
We watch our fellow soldiers fall
and we march along
Alive in this dying life
Awake in this silent night
I've tried and tried with all my might
Alone in this crowded room
A room with only you
In the corner of my eyes
I thought I could be strong
By standing on my own...
But what are we if not for sharing life?
Ant antennas mingling for the sake of death?
The rock does turn to dust where flowers grow.
A rock still turns to dust, and that is love.
So I reach out for a hand to hold
But all I feel is sand and your
ego, vices, weaknesses--
And I love you all the more
This bottle's getting empty fast
But my heart is filling full
of hope. and truth. and loneliness.
of hate. and loss. and you.
But after all the gaining loving lost
I realize that loneliness and love
Both in their never-ending ways have won
Yet, in the end...
The rock does turn to dust where flowers grow.
A rock still turns to dust. And that is love. - Track Name: The Give and Take
-
I've been let down too many times to tell myself that life is gonna change
Yet somehow I've found that I continue living life and hoping anyway
I've come to terms with the fact that all is fair in love and war they say
Someday I'll learn to understand these twisted rules they've set for me to play
Until then, I'm merely just a pawn
Until then, I'll play along
I've been let down, but so have you and you and you and you
So let's gather round and share this time to sing along to just a song or two
Until then, just know that you belong
Until then, let's get along
I've lost so much but learned much more
In this game of give or take
And in the end we stand to gain
So much more than we can take
Leave room for mistakes
And times of heartache
I’ve been let down too many times to tell myself that life is gonna change
Yet somehow I’ve found that I continue living life and hoping anyway
Life is a game, no one’s to blame
We play to win just to get by
We'll make up rules but we're such fools
Truth only knows what's wrong or right
And she'll defend it through the night
We'll only find her if we try
And we'll see everything is fine - Track Name: It Was Love
-
it's a cloudy day, that's all
i've seen many cloudy days before
it has drizzled, it has poured
but listen: i think i hear the birds
i've never cared much for rainbows
they only show when you're at the right angle
and i know they are just illusions
which makes me think of you again
life is like a book
it's never how it looks
life is like your love
it's here and then it's gone
keep this in mind:
the grass smells sweeter when it's wet
and dreams exist though you forget
and though sometimes i wish we'd never met
it was love
it was love
it's a sunny day, that's all
i've seen many sunny days before
i've been warmed and i've been burned
but listen: it was love - Track Name: How It Should Be
-
Time, you are a ghost
Tomorrow's just as close as here, as far as years
Time, you've got no corpse
No skeleton that begins or ends
When I think of all the people I've become
All of a sudden, they all are one
When I think of all the people that I'll be
I will remember, they all are me
We all follow a line
That we think of as time
But it's all in our minds
In our minds
All your life has been set
Infinite determinants determine it
But don't fret or forget
To live it
All our lives we spend afraid
Of the futures we have made
Living our lives day by day
Without god. Without faith.
I just wish that we could see
Everything's how it should be
See and then really believe
Everything's how it should be
Everything's how it should be. - Track Name: The Stranger

Sleep, little one
Your life has just begun
This is your rising sun
Sleep, little one
You are our jewel of hope
There's so much you don't know
Your heart is pure as snow
Sweet little one
There's a world out there waiting for you
Full of suffering, full of love
I just hope that you'll see
All the love and beauty
Sleep, little one - Track Name: Change
-
Please give me the strength
To accept things I can't change
Teach me when to walk away
Without wanting to blame
And teach me when to say
Things won't always go my way
That no one ever stays
That I'll spend my days
On my own
So I might as well enjoy it
All alone
It's so calm and cool and quiet
It's such a lovely day
I think that I'll go lay
For a minute in those warming rays
On my own
'cause I might as well enjoy it
All alone
It's so nice and warm and quiet
But one day someone sweet will come my way
And I'll keep him at bay
Because I am afraid
Please give me the strength
To accept that things change
Teach me when to stay
And live for today
