Black Sheep
I’m just sitting on the roof
I’ve been siting here since June
Hoping you would only see
That I am all you’ll ever need
I just couldn’t take the hint
That maybe all the time you spent
Telling me you were my friend
It was the truth
This was the end
To time
And the memories that we made
But your laughter still replies
In my mind since you went away
I’ve got trouble thinking now
My mind has been slowly devoured
Consumed by possibilities
Of love I lost
Of time I’d need
To fix all of the shit I’d done
I start to walk but now I run
Into a future I can see
Is full of people I don’t need
But I
I’m the memories that we’ve made
Im a man who cant be tamed
I’m the headstone on your grave
I’ve got trouble sleeping now
I’m not here to make you proud
I have all I’ll ever need
Inside a box wrapped in a sheet
But I
I’m a victim of my peace
I’m a man who needs sweet release
I’m the black one among these white sheep
Like many men before me
I will bow my head
I’ll admit defeat I earned it
Like these scars beneath my breast
I’ll scream in frustration
I’ll let everyone know
There are holes in this foundation and they’re gonna start to mold
But you sold
The memories that we made
To a man who just wanted to be paid
That’s the day our love went away
That’s the day our love went away

Mid-September

Mid September
I saw you packed your bags today
I guess I just couldn’t make you stay
Before to long we’ll be in a different place
Hiding away
From all the things I couldn’t change
I saw that you got up to leave
But the hole in your heart
Started to bleed
I see you cut off
All the things you could conceive
Were making it grow
And I guess that was me
But if your lost
And you need a hand
Know that I will be your guide
I’m not a lover just a long lost friend
Who lurks in the shadows of your mind
All that she left me was a note
It spoke of things I didn’t care to know
Like how we didn’t try
How we looked love in the eye
And he said not today
Just let these feeling pass you by
So like this note
I’ll get blown away
I can’t stand up by your side
But in mid September when the winds have changed
That’s when I’ll be blowing through your life
I will follow you tonight
Lurking in the shadows this whole time
But what you didn’t know
Is I’m the monsters that still grow
In your mind
In your mind
In Mid September
I asked you how you were today
You said I’m not the best but I’m ok
Its been a couple months
And the first two were quite rough
But in the end you’re still my friend
And that sure as hell's enough
So if you’re lost
And you need a hand
Know that I will be your guide
I’m not a lover
Just a long lost friend
Who lurks in the shadows of your mind
Who lurks in the shadows of your mind

Dear Celina

Dear Celina
Drawn between three words
A portrait of a lonesome girl
That I’ve tried to hide
And forget that I
Had all I’ll ever need
When her hands in mine
When she’s standing next to me
Hung between these two walls
An outline of a love that is no more
She’s the flicker in an autumn wind
The smell of gasoline
When you think its gone
It comes back strong
To me
Dear Celina
Oh there’s nothing I can do
I’d given you my heart
Before the sun came up last June
Now there’s nothing beating in my chest
Except an open wound
And a love I can’t forget
She’s nothing like
What she seems
She’s the stranger
in those new age magazines
shes a headline and photograph
a rumor that will make you laugh
A joke to us
But something real to me
Dear Celina
Oh there’s nothing I can say
To tell you how I felt about you
All those summer days
And now there’s nothing left to do but walk away
Please forget me and I will do the same
Dear Celina
Oh there’s nothing I can do
I’d given you my heart
Before the sun came up last June
Now there’s nothing beating in my chest
Except an open wound
And a love I can’t forget

A Song For A Sparrow

A Song for a Sparrow
I've been hoping
My love wouldn’t fade
From my home town
But I know it’s not to late
To find new ground to stand
With my bible in hand
I’ll be walking the road to my early grave
I’ve been holding
A nail I cannot break
I’ve been beating this nail
With a wooden stake
But I don’t understand
Why a man with no hands
Would be beating
His true love away
Did you see that light in her eyes
A moment passing us by
That she won’t soon forget
Or even admit
The love she once had slowly dies
Like a sparrow
That flies in the rain
What my mother
She told me that day
When that sparrow takes flight
There is love in his mind
It’s a love that will find him his way
Did you see that light in her eyes
A moment passing us by
That she won’t soon forget
Or even admit
The love she once had slowly dies
When my father
He fell to the ground
Like that old caravan he broke down
He said son don’t you know
When that sparrow has flown
He’ll be flying past the best years of his life
Did you see that light in her eye
A moment passing us by
That she won’t soon forget
Or even admit
The love she once had slowly dies

Iron Lung

Iron lung
Wish I was and English man
Waiting for the sun
To rise up on my old plot of land
I’ll work till evening comes
I’ll plow until my hands are sore
Until I break my back
So I wont see your face no more
My memories fade to black
Why’s it have to be so hard
Roaming around someone else’s heart
Whys it have to be so dark
Looking for the switch to make it start
Wish I was an iron lung
Beating in your chest
So I’d be stuck inside each song
With every waking breath
I’d sing out in beats of four
I’d never miss a line
So I can say those daunting words
That lie deep in your mind
Whys it have to be so hard
Roaming around someones broken heart
Whys it have to be so dark
Looking for the switch to make it start
Now im just a lonesome dog
Looking for a bone
Looking for the one I lost
Inside my old owners home
Why’s it have to be so hard
Roaming around someone else heart
Whys it have to be so dark
Looking for the switch to make it start
