I am basically a hobbyist, I've been writing songs for years and have only just now got around to recording, and finding it not so much fun. I enjoy the writing more than performing, and performing more than recording.

Lyrics

If I could believe all the stories I’ve told
If I were as wise as I am old
If words were wisdom we both would’ve known
I was never going to fit your mold
 
If my past had been shaped differently
If you’d had a hand at forming me
I might have been all you wanted me to be
And we wouldn’t have to let this go
 
If words were wisdom
and wisdom was gold
I could build a temple 
with the lies we’ve told
If words were wisdom 
If words were gold

I never wanted to be your everything
I didn’t need to have you on a puppet string
For whatever joy you thought that it would bring
It never gave me any

I would’ve been just as content to be 
another page ripped from your diary
and set ablaze unceremoniously
in an ashtray at a Denny’s
 
If words were wisdom
and wisdom was gold
I could build a temple 
with the lies we’ve told
If words were wisdom 
If words were gold
