• October 03, 2022I Do Not Expect A Miracle (Song Sketch)

  Counting the red stars

  In the blue hour before sunup

  the sound of distant traffic

  in the thin and beating light

  Underneath a crimson moon

  I am lost in loving you

  Dangerous and lovely

  Unreasonable and kind

  My fat black heart is leaving me

  echoing inside

  Dreams lined with Marigold

  Azalea and Primrose

  I do not expect a miracle

  I do not expect a miracle

  I do not expect a miracle

  But I'm sittin' here waiting

  For the signs

  Ooh Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

  Ooh Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

  Watching all the droplets falling

  Slowly from the sky

  Incandescent, colorful

  Beautiful alive

  Laying under love's shadow

  Wondering where to go

  I do not expect a miracle

  I do not expect a miracle

  I do not expect a miracle

  But I'm sittin' here waiting

  For the signs

  I do not expect a miracle

  I do not expect a miracle

  I do not expect a miracle

  But I'm sittin'

• September 20, 2022It's All Just Such A Shame (Song Sketch)

  I can still remember all the things we did together

  Back when we were kids and all the trouble we got in

  I know I haven’t seen you in what seems like forever

  This is not the way I ever thought it all would end

  I wish that I had known about the battles you were fighting

  But I guess that you were good at hiding all the bottles and the pain

  By the time they found you lying lifeless in the hallway

  All anyone could say was it was all just such a shame

  It's all just such a shame

  Goodbye my old friend

  It's all just such a shame

  The years gone by

  It's all such a shame

  It's all just a shame

  It's all just such a goddamn shame

  There's nothing anyone can do about it now there are no answers

  I wish I could have tried but now only I find it's just too late

  When I look into your eyes, I cannot recognize you though I'm trying

  All that I can say is that it's all just such a shame

  It's all just such a shame

  Goodbye my old friend

  It's all just such a shame

  I hope it's peace you find

  It's all such a shame

  It's all just a shame

  It's all just such a goddamn shame

  It's all such a shame

  It's all just a shame

  It's all just such a goddamn shame

• September 12, 2022Waiting For Tomorrow (Song Sketch)

  I keep waiting for tomorrow

  I keep looking for a sign

  Today I'm only feeling sorrow

  It is all my lonely heart can find

  I keep waiting for tomorrow

  These days are more than I can bear

  I would beg and steal and borrow

  If I knew that I could find you there

  Only the memories

  Come back to torture me

  And I will never be released

  Maybe tomorrow you will find your way to me

  Only the memories

  Come back to torture me

  And I will never be released

  Maybe tomorrow you will find your way to me

• August 15, 2022You Can't Dry These Tears (Song Sketch)

  You can hold my hand forever

  You can tell me to forget her

  You can try and change the subject

  But I can't stop crying now that she is gone

  And you can't dry these tears

  No you can't dry these tears

  No you can't dry these tears of mine

  They run like a river

  We can wait for sunny weather

  But that won't make me feel better

  You can joke and act real funny

  But I can't stop crying since she walked out that door

  And you can't dry these tears

  No you can't dry these tears

  No you can't dry these tears of mine

  They run like a river

  And things will never be the same for me again

  My heart is broken and will be broken 'till the end

  She was the best thing

  She was the only thing I needed

  And you can't dry these tears

  No you can't dry these tears

  No you can't dry these tears of mine

  I will not tell you that I'm fine

  They run like a river

• August 08, 2022We Still Have Someday (Song Sketch)

  I am thinking about the things you said

  My mind can't seem find a place to rest

  I lie awake and wonder why

  Do we really want to say goodbye?

  Nothing feels like it did before

  I don't get to sleep much anymore

  And there's something that don't feel quite right

  I don't want to give up on this fight

  I know you still love me

  And I still love you too

  You know we still have someday

  If we can somehow make it through

  I remember how it used to be

  It was so easy living in a dream

  They say you only hurt the ones you love

  We are the ones that they were thinking of

  And we only have ourselves to blame

  It isn't easy playing the long game

  I know it feels like we'll never win

  But I'm not ready to cash in my chips just yet

  I know you still love me

  And I still love you too

  You know we still have someday

  If we can somehow make it through

  Maybe this is just a test

  Of what we're willing to invest

  We haven't played our last cards just yet

  This could still be a winning bet

  I know you still love me

  And I still love you too

  You know we still have someday

  You know we still have someday

  You know we still have someday

  If we can somehow make it through

• August 02, 2022I'm Not Good Enough (Song Sketch)

  I'm not good enough

  I'm not good enough

  I'm not good enough

  I know

  I don't know what I think I'm doing here

  I don't feel like I fit in anywhere

  When I meet people I don't know what to do

  Everyone knows it they can see it too

  I can try but I never will win

  This is something nestled deeply within

  The disappointment in my father's eyes

  That was the moment that I buried inside

  I'm not good enough

  I'm not good enough

  I'm not good enough

  I know

  I know I should feel different

  And I'm not alone

  But this voice I have to live with

  Is the only one I've known

  I try my best not to listen

  I try to rise above

  I try to change its position

  But it always wants me to know

  I'm not good enough

  I'm not good enough

  I'm not good enough

  Don't you know?

  Fearing successes that I do not deserve

  Feeling guilty when they sometimes occur

  Sabotaging all of my plans

  Saying I shouldn't when I think I can

  I try my best not to listen

  I try to rise above

  I try to change its position

  But it always wants me to know

  I'm not good enough

  I don't know what I think I'm doing here

  I'm not good enough

  I don't feel like I fit in anywhere

  I'm not good enough

  When I meet people I don't know what to do

  I’m not good enough

  Everyone knows it they can see it too

  I'm not good enough

  I'm not good enough

  I'm not good enough

  I know

• July 26, 2022I'll Give You TIme (Song Sketch)

  I'll give you time, you can have all of mine

  I'll never mind, I like to watch you shine

  You are the light, In my life

  You are the light, In my life

  I'm so in love, I'm so in love with you

  There is no one, that can compare to you

  You are a dream, a dream come true

  You are a dream, my dream come true

  I remember when

  The moment we first met

  I knew right then that you were the one

  I knew what I had to do

  I had to spend my life with you

  I knew I had to say I do and I do

  I do, I do, I do

  For worse or for better, no matter what the weather

  No buts or howevers, We will grow old together,

  I will be yours, You will be mine

  For ever and ever, 'till the end of time

  I remember when

  The moment we first met

  I knew right then that you were the one

  I knew what I had to do

  I had to spend my life with you

  I knew I had to say I do

• July 11, 2022Still Holding On (Song Sketch)

  I'm so sick of talking 'bout it

  I know that everything's been said

  I don't want fight

  I don't want to have to prove I'm right

  I just want to go to bed

  I'm trying to wrap my mind around it

  Let it sink into my head

  Lie awake in the dead of night,

  just me and the pale moonlight

  I'll remember everything you said

  But I'm still holding on

  Yeah I'm still holding on

  You said how much that you still love me

  You said how hard that this has been

  That you need to follow your heart,

  but I'm about to fall apart

  I wish you'd listen to your head

  You said we both deserve much better

  That I should take care of myself

  That it's time to look ahead

  Take a different path instead

  And put our love back on the shelf

  But I'm still holding on

  Yeah I'm still holding on

  Holding on to what we had

  Holding on to future plans

  Holding on to me and you

  Holding on to the truth

  Holding on to better days

  Holding on to Rose bouquets

  Holding on to the past

  I’m holding on to dreams we had

  Yeah I'm still holding on

  Yeah I'm still holding on

• July 04, 2022I'm Not Sure What I'm Trying To Say (Song Sketch)

  I'm not sure what I'm trying to say

  I do my best to get through the day

  I tell myself that it'll be fine

  I'm looking ahead, I'm looking behind

  I see the writing right there on the wall

  But I can't make it out, it's written too small

  An answer, a joke or some kind of sign

  Or the details of some grand design

  I try to have faith, I try to believe

  But sometimes I think that I'm being naive

  Are we better off than we've ever been?

  I guess it depends on where you begin.

  The forces of darkness the forces of light

  Locked in a battle, a forever fight

  Everyone's sure of which side they're on

  It can take a long time to realize you’re wrong

  The sun will come up, the sun will go down

  The world will just keep on spinning around

  We can be sure and we can pretend

  But we'll never know how the story will end

  I try to be grateful I try to be kind

  I try to contend with the shadows inside

  I've spent my whole life practicing how

  I don't ever think, I'll figure it out

  I'm not sure what I'm trying to say

  I'm watching the time slipping away

  I tell myself that it'll be fine

  I'm looking ahead, I'm looking behind

• May 02, 2022Now I Dream In Black And White (Song Sketch)

  I know, I know, I know it's time

  I will, I will, I will be fine

  All the reasons that you're leaving are written in your eyes

  I am trying to pretend that, this is not goodbye

  I wish, I wish, I wish I could

  I thought, I thought, I thought I would

  Be the man you always wanted, the one I should

  My silent prayers unanswered, misunderstood

  So now I dream in black and white

  My feelings hidden deep inside

  The moon will be different shades of blue

  Even though I'm still in love with you

  Life will be lonesome without you

  Life will be lonesome

  without you

  I know, I know, I know you tried

  The tears, the tears, the tears you cried

  The long walk across the desert of a lonely life

  Letting go of our forever, the closing of the light

  So now I dream in black and white

  So hard to give up on this fight

  The moon will be different shades of blue

  This dream begins and ends with you

  Life will be lonesome without you

  Life will be lonesome

  without you
