Acoustic side project focused on growth, exploration and annoying the shit out of people.
Inspiration can hit at the strangest times. Lately I've been inspired by some pretty offbeat memories, experiences, readings and ideas. My hope is that I can blend them with the words in my heart and stake my claim of originality. That being said, this is overflow parking. Here, have a seat.

Lyrics
My mother always talked about The world as if she'd been there She talks in riddles so you'll think There's still a mystery to be solved My father never really talked About his year in college He'd like to start again, but There's too much history involved I've listened a lot of Springsteen Read Heinlein front to back I'm convinced there's something out there It's the means of which we lack/Beyond the border map I think the realist in me And the optimist in you should get together Maybe we could work out something real And leave this town forever I think the realist in me And the optimist in you should get together Maybe we can get a sharper glimpse of what we see In the firewood we gather Some winter nights we'd sneak out Of our houses to go skating We'd stay out till midnight Lying in the middle of the frozen lake I'd point out stars from airplanes and You'd tell me the moon is waning We didn't leave till our work was done And our socks froze in our skates Once you claimed to be a pacifist or at least you'd give it a shot Don't you know they're laughing at you Where real wars are fought? I think the loneliness in me And the decimated dreams you still remember Owe it to themselves to have a drink -- Let’s try to make it out before December Commiserate and face this stormy weather
