Days weeks months years
You said you love me but
you don’t know why you’re still here
You can’t say the words if you don’t really know what you want
I know what I want and I’m doubling down
you can’t say the words
this time you’ll find I already know
(F,Am)
time filler
dream killer
don’t wanna waste my time
don’t wanna waste my life again
time filler
dream killer
what’s done is done
(Pluck 1/ strum 1) (F/release Am) ,F, Am7, Am, Am7)
My whole world turns grey
and it fades to black
time to walk away
Never looking back (x2)
So long… what’s wrong?!
I don’t know how to cope so I just write another song
can’t sing the words
even if you know
and I know, I know, I know
I never thought this would end
You can’t say the words
but I know it’s time for me to go
I know, I know
don’t wanna feel this again
don’t wanna feel this again
time filler
dream killer
don’t wanna waste my time
don’t wanna waste my life again
time filler
dream killer
what’s done is done
My whole world turns grey
and then it fades to black
time to walk away
Never looking back (x2)
Never looking back
Never looking back

Please don’t take it personally
got my hands full with myself
just trying to nurse me back to health
please don’t take it personally
really need to soothe myself
dont wanna hurt anyone else
it seems I have no sense of self preservation x2
Wanna run away
wanna wanna hide my face
Wanna run away
not as easy as it seems
doesn’t go away
no matter how far my legs carry me
I try to hide away
but I find you in my dreams
I find you in my dreams x2
I’m trying to find my sense of self preservation. X2
Please don’t take it personally
got my hands full with myself
just trying to nurse me back to health
I’m trying to find my sense of self preservation x4

D# Gm F Dm
(FP)
I’m OK until I’m not
I tend to offer all I’ve got
but it’s too much
too much, too much
so I just spend my time alone
(Strum)
when did I outgrow my old friends?
this can’t be how these stories end
but it’s too much,
too much, too much
these days nothing feels like home
These old lakes of warm ice tea offer a familiarity
not enough to draw me
willingly into this abyss
(FP)
these old lakes of warm ice tea
offer a familiarity
never thought I’d be here
I never thought it’d be like this
(FP)
I’m OK until I’m not
I tend to offer all I’ve got
but it’s too much
too much, too much
so I just spend my time alone
(strum)
how did things end up this way?
I guess there’s nothing left to say
cause it’s too much
too much, too much
sometimes I’m better on my own
I’m alone by design
in this fortress of mine
you can find me in space
if you’re an astronaut searching for my head in the clouds
I have dreams I hope to see
my whole life I’ve longed to be
loved for who I am
not some short lived novelty
(FP)
just like anyone else
just like anyone else
but I love myself
I know I’ll find my way somehow for now I think I need time alone
(Strum)
I’m OK until I’m not
I tend to offer all I’ve got
but it’s too much
too much, too much
so I just spend my time alone
(FP)
how did things end up this way?
I guess there’s nothing left to say
because it’s too much
too much, too much
these days nothing feels like home
(Strum)
These old lakes of warm ice tea offer a familiarity
not enough to draw me
willingly into this abyss
(Fp)
these old lakes of warm ice tea
offer a familiarity
never thought I’d be here
I never thought it’d be like this

spiders

F Am G, G & Am7
You skulk around
Trying to be discreet
I like spiders
but not on my feet
Anywhere else in the world or across the street
I like spiders
as friends
I don’t want
No I don’t wanna share my body
It’s nothing personal
I just like my personal space
I might be amenable to meet you at a time and place
I don’t want you in my bed
or in my shoes
or in my coffee
I don’t want you in the kitchen
or the bathroom
scoffing at me
I don’t want you in my bed or in my shoes
or in my coffee
I don’t want you in my bed
It’s nothing personal
I just like my personal space
I might be amenable to meet you at a time and place
I don’t want you in my bed
or in my shoes
or in my coffee
I don’t want you in the kitchen
or the bathroom
scoffing at me
I don’t want you in my bed
or in my shoes
Or in my coffee
I don’t want you in my bed x3

Bm G (fingerpicking)
shed my old skin
not like before
stretch out in this new life that I woke up and found myself in
I still want more
but I have to hide away cause
Bm A G Gb (fp)
I explode and then compress into a singularity,
the cycle flows as it exposes the next purest form of me,
I explode and then compress realigning the old mess,
you know you’ll find me in the dark cause I’m a star
Bm G A Gb (strum)
you know, we change and grow
some things no longer serve us
burst into flames
burn it away
reevaluate life’s purpose
nothing’s the same
everything’s changed
release the pain
all the remains is fresh and new
we’ll never be what we once were again
Bm G
come what may
burn it all
burn it all away
it’s ok
burn it all, burn it all away (x2)
Bm G (fp)
shed my old skin
not like before
stretch out in this new life that I woke up and found myself in
I still want more
gonna find a way
seize the day
take a look around
a look around
before I burn
before I burn
before I burn it to the ground
to the ground
I burn it to the ground
Bm G
burn it all
burn it all away
burn it all
Bm G (FP)
burn it all
burn it all away
burn it all

Bm A G A
(FP)
Never wanted much,
just simple things
I live at the brink;
the borderline of bliss and total self-destruction
you know, this current’s never slow
as it swallows me I know
I have to go wherever these waves are gonna take me
(strum G A/Am7 Bm /Am7 )
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
Time to go, let go, let go
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
almost everything works out somehow
while I been breakin everything I touch
almost everything works out somehow
but sometimes it feels like I wrecked too much
somehow someway
almost everything works out
this time I learned what my life is all about
so let the choirs sing
let every alarm bell ring and ring
just let the choirs sing
let every alarm bell ring and ring and ring and ring
Don’t know how I got here this last time
The heart I take is mine
I’m ready for whatever these waves wanna take me
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
Time to go, let go, let go
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
almost everything works out somehow
while I been breakin everything I touch
almost everything works out somehow
sometimes it feels like I wrecked too much
somehow someway
almost everything works out
this time I learned what my life is all about
so let the choirs sing
let every alarm bell ring and ring
just let the choirs sing
let every alarm bell ring and ring and ring and ring
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

D A/ F#m G
I think there’s still some glass on the floor
from a time that I broke before
You know I put things back together but they were never quite right
so I fixed ‘em up and filled em with gold
bring me all your broken
all your broken parts
any part that’s broken
shattered dreams all become works of art
bring me all your broken
all your broken hearts
we’ll fill em with gold
Go o o o old
oh oh oh oh oh
I can love you wherever you are
broken glass and trophy scars
sometimes we flicker but we still shine in the deepest night sky
because we took our hearts and filled them with gold
bring me all your broken
all your broken parts
any part that’s broken
shattered dreams all become works of art
bring me all your broken
all your broken hearts
we’ll fill em with gold
Go o o o old
oh oh oh oh oh
You don’t have to find your wings
to find your wings to see how you can fly
I don’t have to use my eyes to know that you’re a supernova shining in my sky (x2)
we don’t have to use our eyes to know that we’re all supernovae shinin in the sky

roses in purgatory

F, G, Am, and G… blah blah
where to go what to do now
found my way back home somehow
home somehow
Find myself with nothing left to give but my love
Oh my love
(Strum heavy triplets ) Oh my love
It’s alright to be in purgatory
It’s alright to lose your mind
It’s alright to be in purgatory
Some say I should look for something better
Nothing ever lasts forever
but I’ll hold what’s left until it’s gone (x2)
(FP)
Feels like I’ve been here before
another locked door, locked door
Feels like I’ve been here before
It’s never been a fair trade for my love
Oh my love
never been a fair trade for my love
(Strum) Oh my love
It’s alright to be in purgatory
It’s alright to lose your mind
It’s alright to be in purgatory
Some say I should look for something better
Nothing ever lasts forever
but I’ll hold what’s left until it’s gone (x2)

(Pluck)
Probably feels like you told me 100 times
like a strand I can’t quite grasp
a memory I can’t chase but I can taste it
(finger pick)
delicious echoes of a dream
an echo of a dream
my daydreams carry
daydreams carry
daydreams carry me away
(Pluck)
or maybe it’s a fantasy
that swallowed my reality
Highs and lows
this ebbs and flows
and floats downstream
with my daydreams
(Strum triplets)
You’re an echo of a dream
delicious echoes of a dream
my daydreams carry
daydreams carry
daydreams carry me away
(Finger pick)
Carry me away
carry me away
my daydreams carry
daydreams carry
daydreams carry me away
(E)I know what I feel
(G)but I don’t know what’s real anymore
I know what I feel
but I don’t know what’s real anymore
I know what I feel
but I don’t know what’s real
I don’t know what’s real
But You’re an echo of a dream
delicious echoes of a dream
my daydreams carry
daydreams carry
carry me away

I think I’d follow you anywhere
to see the light in your eyes
I think I’d follow you anywhere
to hear your
heartbeat in every grey sky
heartbeat in every grey sky
heartbeat
to hear your heartbeat
I might be crazy
I’m feeling fine
I might be crazy
out of my mind
Maybe maybe I’ve lost my mind
Maybe maybe
Oooooooooohhhhhh ohhhh
I think I’d follow you anywhere
no reason to wonder why
I think I’d follow you anywhere
I know it’s reckless but I can’t feel the earth beneath my feet
I know it’s reckless but I’m not afraid of anything anymore
Ooooooooohhhh ohh
No, I know,
I didn’t plan on this and it’s
it’s oh, it’s so
I can’t think straight
No, I know exactly what this is
and I know it’s pretty reckless
but I also know I’d follow you
I’d follow you anywhere
to see the light in your eyes
I know I’d follow you anywhere
to hear your
heartbeat in every grey sky
heartbeat in every grey sky
heartbeat
to hear your heartbeat
I might be crazy
I’m feeling fine
I might be crazy
out of my mind
Maybe maybe I’ve lost my mind
Maybe maybe
Oooooooooohhhhhh ahhh

I have always been a songwriter, but retired from music for nearly 20 years, to focus on my health and my sons. In 2019, after a life altering brain injury, I picked up the ukulele and never put it down. Music has been crucial in not only my brain injury recovery, but my mental and spiritual well being: It's been a journey of losing everything and finding myself ... more
