• December 06, 2019Ain't Coming Back (SWU Demo)

  She walked out on Wednesday

  Thursday morning I was feeling fine

  She’s done me this way before

  She comes back by Friday every time

  My mood had soured somewhat by Sunday

  When she had not returned

  And now that Monday’s come and gone

  It looks there’s a lesson to be learned

  Maybe she’s giving me

  Another chance to straighten up my act

  Maybe I just need

  To open up my eyes and face the fact

  This time she ain’t coming back

  Once or twice I may have claimed

  To stand wrongly accused

  If you heard me say those words

  I was lying to you, too

  A woman’s heart can take a lot

  And find a way to mostly mend

  But when it falls to pieces

  You can never put it back again

  Maybe she’s giving me

  Another chance to straighten up my act

  Maybe I just need

  To open up my eyes and face the fact

  This time she ain’t coming back

  I guess there’s nothing left to say

  I guess there’s nothing to do

  I ain’t heard nothing from my baby since Wednesday afternoon

  I guess there’s nothing to convince her

  To want to try it again

  If she ain’t coming back

  This could be the end

• November 24, 2019She Dreams in Color (SWU Demo)

  She was born up near the border

  Near the Stevens county line

  There’s no memory of her time there

  She hasn’t tried to leave behind

  Daddy was not a kind man

  And her momma just detached

  And history repeats itself

  With any man she can catch

  The Pacific Northwest grays

  Always leave her in a haze

  These are the kind of days

  Best left in the past

  She tells herself that one day

  Gonna up and leave this town

  Forget about her life here

  Never turn around

  Pacific Northwest skies

  Make the world feel black and white

  It makes her want to cry

  Wondering what could have been

  But when she dreams, she dreams in colors

  Violet and tangerine

  Still believes she’ll meet another

  Who will know what she has seen

  Blue and red and green

  She dreams in color

  This world will try to beat you down

  It takes everything you got

  She’s given all she had to give

  Didn’t start out with a lot

  The Pacific Northwest grays

  Always leave her in a haze

  These are the kind of days

  Best left in the past

  But when she dreams, she dreams in colors

  Violet and tangerine

  Still believes she’ll meet another

  Who will know what she has seen

  Blue and red and green

  The girl she still has dreams

  She dreams in color

• October 28, 2019Humanity SWU Demo

  I know you got bones in your mouth

  See ‘em rattle and shake

  And twist into shape

  But nothing that makes

  Any sense ever seems to come out

  You got bones in your mouth

  I know you got brains in your skull

  You rock and you roll

  You got motor control

  You claim to be sharp

  Evidence would suggest that you’re dull

  You got brains in your skull

  You pay for things you could get for free

  They locked the door and you hold the key

  You are not blind, you just choose not to see

  Where is thy humanity?

  I know you got a heart in your chest

  It’s how you survive

  It keeps you alive

  Emotions that once lived within

  Have all been dispossessed

  You got a heart in your chest

  You used to have soul in your soul

  Reasoned and restrained

  But everything changed

  Incapable now

  Of exhibiting self control

  You used to have soul in your soul

• October 15, 2019Whatever It Takes (SWU Demo)

  I changed my number, I changed the locks

  BLACK POSTCARDS and a PO Box

  I quit my job, I dyed my hair

  I’m gonna vanish in the empty air

  Don’t try to reach me, I’m staying hid

  I’m on the lam, I’m off the grid

  Live in the shadows, I hold my breath

  I’m working on a plan to fake my death

  Whatever it takes to get away from you

  Whatever it takes to get away from you

  You’re so mean, you’re so cruel

  Never again to be your fool

  Killed the lights, I barred the door

  You won’t have me to kick around any more

  Whatever it takes to get away from you

  Whatever it takes to get away from you

  I can’t explain why you got a hold on me

  When all that you do is to bring me down

  I know that you won’t ever let me be

  This time you won’t be seeing me around

  Your heart is black, your skin is cold

  Somewhere deep inside you is an empty soul

  I’ve done my time, paid for my sins

  You know I’m never going back again

• October 13, 2019What Happens To Fools (SWU Demo)

  Stayed up all night and well into the morning

  The first time I met my calliope girl

  We chased the ghosts through the streets of New Orleans

  Conspired on how we’d take over the world

  Electricity in the air of Big Easy

  Ignited emotions that burned unrestrained

  I should have known that one day she’d release me

  Some wild horses can never be tamed

  I believed in love for a moment

  I believed a heart could be true

  I believed I would not be broken again

  But that’s just what happens to fools

  She’s a free spirit who turns on a dime

  She’s moving forward and left me behind

  And I’m stuck right here in this moment in time

  She’s flying high through the skies up above

  I know she’s flashing that same crooked smile

  Here I sit, grounded, unworthy of love

  Reckon I’m gonna stay here a while

  I believed in love for a moment

  I believed a heart could be true

  I believed I would not be broken again

  But that’s just what happens to fools
