Someone once called my songs "acoustic punk in slow motion." To most people it just seems folky but with some vinegar.
Lyrics
Secrets
If I was all grown now and not just a kid
I'd burn you right out from wherever you hid
I heard what you said, but I know what you did
I just don't know what to do now
An iron can brand you or make your hair curl
A mouse can stay quiet or scream to the world
If I was a woman and not just a girl
I think I'd know what to do now
Sometimes when I close my eyes
Night-time secrets, daytime lies
All fall away
I stared at the floor as you told them I fell
What could I show them, who could I tell
Between you and me, we both know goddamn well
And I think I know what to do now
Sometimes when I close my eyes
Night-time secrets, daytime lies
All fall away
I sleep in the dark while you're off on a binge
Til the creak of a floorboard, the squeak of a hinge
The reek of your breathing, you won't see me cringe
And you won't see what's coming right now
Sometimes when I close my eyes
Night-time secrets, daytime lies
All fall away
All fall away
