Artist picture
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
A sad and somber ceremony lets out Not a single smile among the crowd Yet nobody dares to speak aloud, that one boy shouldn't be here You can see that I don't disagree If I had my way I'd be at home watching TV But both my broken legs won't take me home, if you can call that a home I will fight you tooth & nail Till I've nothing left to exhale I will fight you tooth & nail I won't let you turn her words against me She didn't know that I was there Everyone in town treats us like guests Another dismal year has come and passed Still the dark refuses to give her back from wherever it's taken her I may never shake it or outgrow How can I expect to measure up to a ghost? This is what she wanted, I suppose, but sometimes I just want my mother back I will fight you tooth & nail Till I've nothing left to exhale I will fight you tooth & nail I won't let you turn her words against me She didn't know that I was there To all of you who say I shouldn't be here, It's not my fault at all that I pulled through For what it's worth, I don't even blame her She did what she felt she had to do Even though you never got to know her, Even though I'll never know her either, just as well I think that I can feel what she felt, and this whole town can go to Hell.
