  • Things Are Never What They Seem To Be (Song Sketch)
    [verse 1]
    I'm in a dream
    I am set free
    I am floating high above
    All I can feel is love
    [Verse 2]
    No gravity
    Everything I need
    I feel so safe in light and grace
    Suspended in a sacred place
    [Chorus]
    Things are never what they seem to be
    I guess it took living in a dream to see
    It’s all becoming clear to me
    It's always been inside of me
    [Post Chorus]
    I used to waste my time and try to fill the hole inside
    My mind was stuck in worry all the time
    But now I've finally seen the light, the perfect human alibi
    Love is all there is
    Love is all there is
    Love is all there is
    Love is all there is
    [Verse 3]
    In the morning light
    In the stars at night
    We're part of something we can’t explain
    A spirit world, an astral plane
    [Verse 4]
    The quiet rain
    The joy and pain
    The dark, the light, the will to fight
    That pulls you through your precious life
    [Quiet Post Chorus]
    I used to waste my time and try to fill the hole inside
    My mind was stuck in worry all the time
    [End Chorus]
    Things are never what they seem to be
    I guess it took living in a dream to see
    It’s all becoming clear to me
    The light was always there for me
    Things are never what they seem to be
    I guess it took living in a dream to see
    It’s all becoming clear to me
    It's always been inside of me

  • Only Blue Sky (Song Sketch)
    [verse]
    I am walking slow
    I got no place to go
    But I feel fine
    Only blue sky on my mind
    I look around
    I see all the clouds
    But I feel fine
    Only blue sky on my mind
    [Chorus]
    Make a wish and close my eyes
    Just relax, enjoy the ride
    Try to take it all in stride
    Only blue sky
    Only blue sky on my mind
    [verse]
    I'll never know
    Where this road goes
    But I feel fine
    Only blue sky on my mind
    [Chorus]
    Don't know how the journey ends
    Just ahead around the bend
    I'll keep looking for a sign
    Only blue sky
    Only blue sky on my mind
    [Harmonica solo over chorus]
    [verse]
    Take my hand
    Be my friend
    It'll all be fine
    Only blue sky on my mind
    [Outro]
    It'll all be fine
    Only blue sky
    Only blue sky
    Only blue sky on my mind
    Only blue sky on my mind
    Only blue sky on my mind

  • Don't Try And Tell Me (Song Sketch)
    [verse]
    I have a big book of numbers
    I have a long list of rules
    Don't know what to file it under
    When I think about you?
    I'm writing myself a letter
    I need a good talking to
    Remind me I should have known better
    Than trusting someone like you
    [Chorus]
    Don't try and tell me
    One and One, doesn’t add up to two
    Don't try and tell me
    The truth is whatever you choose
    [Verse]
    I make a chart of my feelings
    Color-coded day by day by day
    But the lines keep bending and bleeding
    Every time I write your name
    [Chorus]
    Don't try and tell me
    Green is not simply yellow and blue
    Don't try and tell me
    Love is just chemical glue
    [Bridge]
    You used to say I was the only one for you
    But now you play me for a fool
    [Verse]
    My mind sorts the facts from the fiction
    Labels the lies and the truth
    But the facts seem to change their positions
    Whenever it comes to you
    [Chorus]
    Don't try and tell me
    You have the perfect excuse
    Don't try and tell me
    You know what I'm going through
    [Chorus]
    Don't try and tell me
    I'm making this all about you
    Don't try and tell me
    I'll find somebody new
    [Outro] (repeat and fade)
    Don't try and tell me
    Don't try and tell me
    Don't try and tell me

  • Burnt Around The Edges (Song Sketch)
    [verse]
    Life is hard
    That's a fact
    You can't ever
    Fix the past
    Play with fire
    You get burned
    I wonder why
    I never learn
    [chorus]
    I may be a little burnt around the edges but I'm doin' fine
    I may be a little burnt around the edges, but I take it all in stride
    I won't complain, I guess I could, but a little rain might do me good
    I may be a little burnt around the edges, but this life is mine
    [verse]
    She may have been
    A little sick in the head
    But that's not where,
    I was looking
    I woke up drunk
    Tied to the bed
    My watch and wallet, she took 'em
    [chorus]
    I may be a little burnt around the edges, but I'll be just fine
    I may be a little burnt around the edges, but I still shine
    I was raised to be tough, way too much is still not enough,
    I may be a little burnt around the edges and I'll win next time
    [bridge]
    Some people like to play it cool
    They like to follow all the stupid rules
    But I am the other kind of fool
    [verse]
    Bottom's up
    Knock 'em down
    Buy my new friends
    Another round
    The beer is cold
    And the whiskey's smooth
    Hey what's your name baby?
    How you doin?
    [chorus]
    I may be a little burnt around the edges, you sure look pretty tonight
    I may be a little burnt around the edges baby, but I'll treat you right
    I may be a little burnt around the edges but I'm still going strong
    I may be a little burnt around the edges and this life is hard but it ain't that long
    No it ain't that long, baby
    No it ain't that long (better get livin')
    No it ain't that long

  • Open Up Your Heart (Song Sketch)
    [Verse]
    Open up your heart
    I know you've been hurt before
    Don't be afraid
    It will be ok
    We're already past the hardest part
    Open up your heart
    Feel the fire from the spark
    A hidden door
    We can explore
    So, let's not stop before we start
    [Chorus]
    D Am
    I don't want to wonder
    C Em
    About what could have been
    Bm F
    This spell we're under
    C B7
    Let it take it us for a spin
    {Solo over Verse]
    [bridge]
    Am
    Don't know if this love is real
    Bm
    I only know how it feels
    C
    But we need to take a chance
    [Chorus]
    'Cause I don't want to wonder
    And I don't want to lie
    This spell we're under
    So strong and so sublime
    [Out verse and fade]
    Open up your heart
    Feel the fire from the spark

  • I See It So Clear (Song Sketch)
    Like daylight keeps on running
    To chase away the dark
    My restless heart becoming
    Accustomed to the scars
    All my life has led me here
    I see it so clear now
    I know I am so lucky
    For a bit of broken star
    Now I find it kind of funny
    When I take it all so hard
    All my life has led me here
    I see it so clear now
    This gift of time is all I have
    I'm not scared of being sad
    And one day I'll watch it disappear
    There is no shame succumbing
    I’ll be what I become
    There is no use in judging
    'Cause I've already won)
    All my life has led me here
    I see it so clear now
    I see it so clear now
    I see it so clear

  • The Maga Blues (Song Sketch)
    12 Bar Blues E
    [verse]
    I woke up this morning, I got the MAGA blues
    Yeah, I woke up this morning, I got them MAGA blues
    I've tried crying and screaming, but it don't matter what I do
    [verse]
    I woke up this morning, I got the MAGA blues
    Yeah, I woke up this morning, I got them MAGA blues
    I was hopin' I was dreamin’, but I guess all of this is true
    [Bridge A E A B7]
    Now we're enemies with Greenland, Canada, Mexico and Europe too (“What’d they do?”)
    We're closing up the government, we're changing all the rules (“Say it ain’t true!”)
    [Rant over the blues]
    I was really trying my best to not let this get to me, And I was doing ok for a while
    And I felt better this time than I did in 2016,
    But I think I was just trying to protect myself
    And I've been trying to not jump to worst case scenarios
    But that's hard to do given everything that I'm seeing
    It's not like I don't think that there is waste in government, sure there is
    But Jesus Christ, talk about throwing out the baby with the bathwater
    They've got a bunch of 20-year-olds going around firing people with important government jobs and then whoops, rehiring them
    And really, I've got nothing against 20-year-olds
    But are you fucking serious
    And then Ukraine, what the fuck are these people even thinking. Somehow Putin is the good guy?
    And there's a new Government Faith Office headed by some mega church grifter
    And this cabinet, are you fucking kidding me
    Talk about the fox guarding the henhouse!
    And Gulf of America Really? Was that really first order of business shit?
    And do we honestly have a government department called DOGE?
    Named after a meme coin run by a richest man on earth?
    Well, he's probably not really the richest man on earth
    Because who knows about the Saudi royalty, they could be worth trillions.
    But that's a whole other story
    Anyway, 1/2 a Xanax doesn't quite do the trick anymore
    And I know you're not supposed to mix that with Whiskey, but all bets are off folks!
    And that White House Press secretary Karoline Leavitt
    I honestly think she's a humanoid robot
    And Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham are now somehow the voice of reason?
    I could go on and on
    [verse]
    I woke up this morning, I got the MAGA blues
    Yeah, I woke up this morning, I got them MAGA blues
    It's only been two months now, don't know what the hell we’re gonna do
    (I’m goin’ back to bed, wake me up when this all over)

  • The Weight of Time (Fawm 2025 #9)
    [Verse]
    I've been thinking about the words you said
    They don't add up to the truth
    I'm not sure who you think you're fooling
    Or what you try so hard to prove
    [Chorus]
    Please tell me now
    Why must you act so tough?
    Why are you so proud?
    Is the weight of time still not enough?
    [Verse]
    Things are never what they used to be
    It doesn't matter how you try
    I've seen a side of you I can't unsee
    But I don't want to seem unkind
    [Chorus]
    Who's sorry now
    You should take your own advice
    You need to figure out
    Why you're always tangled up in lies
    [Verse]
    Like a shoebox filled with odds and ends
    Left behind but not removed
    A past you've tried valiantly to defend
    But never found the time to lose
    [Chorus]
    Please tell me now
    Why must you act so tough?
    Why are you so proud?
    Is the weight of time still not enough?

  • Songwriter Blues (Fawm 2025 #8)
    I tied my shadow to the wall
    You say that don't make sense at all
    But I like the imagery
    And it sounded good to me
    Some things are hard to say with words
    You can't be sure what people heard
    But what I really want to say
    I don't like feeling this way
    [Chorus]
    But I'll do it how I want
    I'm the one writing this song
    And you can all just kiss my ass
    I'm sorry for what I just said
    It's not your fault it's this pounding in my head
    Trying to come up with clever lines
    Get past all the stupid rhymes
    This is harder than it looks
    You can't learn it from a book
    Even Dylan had some duds
    And I've spent too long on this one
    [Chorus]
    I kind of liked the groove
    And all the attitude
    Is it as good as Wagon Wheel?
    I tied my shadow to the wall
    Now it don't follow me at all
    But it's still so hard to see
    Am I the one I want to be
    The promise of the past
    It all went by so fast
    I kept ignoring all the signs
    And now I'm running out of time
    [Chorus]
    I'm still looking for the key
    Life's a gift but it's not free
    Sometimes it'd hard to see the truth
    Past all the tattooed memories
    And all the things I thought I believed
    Trying to understand it all
    So I wrote "I tied my shadow to the wall"
