my current creative outlet.

"while my heart is a shield and i won't let it down,

while i am so afraid to fail so i won't even try,

well how can i say i'm alive?"


"it feels so much lighter now i met you."


"well i shall not, i shall not be moved,

sing ... i shall not, i shall not be moved,

just like a tree thats standin' by the water...

i shall not be moved."


"in the twilight glow i see her,

blue eyes crying in the rain.

when we kissed goodbye and parted,

i knew we'd never meet again."


"all you kids get out the back door.

i've never seen her this bad before.

took all her favourite things
down from the window

and broke them all over her clean floor.

it's saturday at the mansion,

the oldest boy
walks with a slouch.

the young ones are wild in the back of the house,
and she gave up and went back to sleep on the couch.
something as simple as boys

and girls

gets tossed all around
and then lost in the world.

something as hard as a prayer
on your back

can't wait a long time for an answer.

so i'm wearing my footsteps into this floor.

one day i won't live here anymore.

someone will wonder
who lived here before
and went on their way.

i live too many miles from the ocean.

and i'm getting older

and odd.

i get up every morning with a black cup of coffee

and i talk to the mother of God."
