Watch Me Dissolve 02:59
lyrics

Watch Me Dissolve Breaking up with myself I can’t stand me for another minute Tired of being in it Hate this body and this mind Getting beat down and bored of this perspective Now I reject it I think you know what I mean I’m sure you’d agree Every godforsaken day Makes me feel more panicked and constrained It sounds deranged Punching myself in the face Always feels right and totally deserved Maybe I’m disturbed I think you know what I mean I’m sure you’d agree I’m totally confused About what I should do I’m so lost inside me Help me leave my body Breaking up with myself I’ve had it with the tired view from here I’ll disappear I’m so over me right now I need to carve a tunnel through these walls Watch me dissolve I think you know what I mean I’m sure you’d agree

Paying Rent 03:46
lyrics
buy track
Paying Rent It’s my face the only one that I’ve got I’m not trying to be something I’m not And your words eviscerating Sorry I’m self-deprecating If I could see some path between You’re a lion in the coliseum And that voice a squealing fan belt Ringing like some circle of hell And there’s this bridge But I don’t give a shit I feel content Just paying rent Watch my hands or you’ll miss the trick I’m a pro with the carrot and stick In this light it seems obscure No one knows what we’re here for There’s the light and the way it refracts Sometimes it gets caught between the cracks I’m still here doing all I can And I can’t remember where it all began And there’s this bridge But I don’t give a shit I feel content Just paying rent

Chasm 02:55
lyrics
buy track
Chasm I’m a believer she said and I believe her Still I don’t see anything for me She had a vision somehow I missed it Saw some ghostly figure who spoke in a whisper Where do we go from here Is the chasm way too deep How do we bridge the gap Between where we’re both at Why so cynical why so difficult Your suspicious always asking questions Squint your eyes then open wide See the intention and all of these connections Where do we go from here Is the chasm way too deep How do we bridge the gap Between where we’re both at I’m trying to drink more water Leave my house more often I’m trying to be receptive like a sponge I watch the way you move The way you wander through Suck the air you breath into my lungs

Only Human 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Only Human I never asked you for clemency Never expected a reprieve I packed my things inside a pillow case Fully expecting to leave I had an accident in Texas Near that house in Wimberley I rolled my car under a Sycamore Covered it over like a body Remember lying in that empty pool Where the planes came through You said you’re only human I wanna be a human too I started walking past the ranches As the cows all called your name I found a dance hall down on Mercer It’s never easy to explain I tried to call you from a pay phone Country music in my ears I couldn’t tell if you had answered The ring just disappeared Remember walking on the ocean floor And you lost your shoe You said you’re only human I wanna be a human too I counted bottles in the mirror Dripping tears into my beer I watched a couple from my barstool He spun her like a puppeteer I’ll nurse this beer until it’s empty Wishing I could still atone And if I’m lucky play my cards right Maybe someone takes me home Maybe someone takes me home

about

Now we have the March ep from the series slated for 2017 in which I have invited friends to take my songs and "produce" them. I recorded the songs to a click track and sent the producers the raw tracks along with chords and lyrics and gave them free range to do as they saw fit. It is as much about their vision for the song as mine in writing it. I've included stripped down demos to get a sense of the arc each song has taken.

All proceeds from this series will go to either Planned Parenthood, Southern Poverty Law Center or the SPCA. Just message me with your preference.
