i wish i had a golden voice that felt right to your ear you'd know my songs by heart sing the high harmonies i wish that i could wish my wishes true i wish that all the fighting men would fight themselves to death leave the earth to the rest of us that know how to get along i wish that i could wish my wishes true i wish i knew all the answers to all the questions people ask they'd take comfort in knowing that some one out there knew i wish that i could wish my wishes true i wish i could catch a falling star keep it at my place let my girl wish upon it to see the smile on her face i wish that i could wish my wishes true

The Dreamer 02:30
oh the dreamer what of she oh the day these dreams come to be will another find it’s place in the hollow in this space oh this evil where is the root love’s the way extinguish you will another find it’s place evil fury way off base oh what the fuck are we doing to ourselves oh be happy do not be sad celebrate shared nothings had can anything stop us now i need you please god allow oh our fate what of us surrounded by all we’ve done not alone but the aftertaste left behind in our wake what the fuck are we doing to ourselves

the way you speak have you always, that way with a cockeyed smile and vibrant eyes mystery of your ways draws me to your flame whether poison or cure i must know your name chaos like this last a short time for the be-all end-all comes like violent crime i’ve come to believe amongst the hullabaloo coincidence found us in love me and you captured by your heart cuffed to your ways incandescent and bold runaway sane our passion for life was more than we made working 40 hours earning minimum wage chaos like this last a short time for the be-all end-all comes like violent crime i’ve come to believe amongst the hullabaloo totality found us in love me and you lived all of our dreams i’m at home where you are i’ll take you with me when i’m far

Trouble 03:44
somebody take me home from this party it's been so much fun but too much drinkin caught up and ruined the most of the rest of me and I'm feelin an overwhelming sinking somebody help me i’ve neglected myself been reckless in my old haunt with the devil this binging, oh my weakness, i need saving from these depths of hell and dishevel there’s nothing like the trouble i know i’ll be in there’s nothing like the trouble i know i’ll be in there’s nothing like the trouble i know i’ll be in there’s nothing like the trouble i know i’m in somebody help put me back together i’m sorry i’ve let you down again my dear you already know that i’ll break it when i’m sayin i promise to make it all better this year there’s nothing like the trouble i know i’ll be in there’s nothing like the trouble i know i’ll be in there’s nothing like the trouble i know i’ll be in there’s nothing like the trouble i know i’m in

True Love 03:03
oh what a danger standing by quiet like reality could wait for what you would say if you weren’t so timid if you were brave fix it with a whisper or a shot in the arm don’t pause to be jealous of dreams step out take a chance to do your thing it’s all an illusion it’s nothing at all you and i give it meaning true love will find you when you find a love that’s true that will be everything fighting doubts by yourself all alone will you play your hand before your bones rust and the blood in your heart turns to dust the time is now to be guilty of doing to be queen of the kingdom to come before your last breath leaves your lungs it’s all an illusion it’s nothing at all you and i give it meaning true love will find you when you find a love that’s true that will be everything

Love Drug 03:38
your love is a drug i can’t afford to be without your love is a drug i can’t afford to be without your love is a drug i can’t afford to be without and i need that high like i need your love you keep the diamonds, take all of those pearls your sweet embrace is the only thing i need in the world i’ll be killing myself if it’s life without you it’s not a suicide song it’s a love song your love is a drug i can’t afford to be without your love is a drug i can’t afford to be without your love is a drug i can’t afford to be without and i need that high like i need your love it’s more than an addiction, call it dependency your mine for the whole of my life, not eternity i’ll be killing myself if it’s life without you it’s not a suicide song it’s a love song your love is a drug i can’t afford to be without your love is a drug i can’t afford to be without your love is a drug i can’t afford to be without and i need that high like i need your love your love is a drug i can’t afford to be without your love is a drug i can’t afford to be without your love is a drug i can’t afford to be without and i need that high like i need your love

this is a gift falling hard in love to see what you’re made of this is a gas watching you dance reminds me how to laugh no we can't get there from here no we can't get there from here no we can't get there from here but I love you just the same that is a fact no opinions matter when it's a matter of facing the facts living a life of honor and grace the beautiful grit of your ways no we can't get there from here no we can't get there from here no we can't get there from here but I love you just the same no we can't get there from here no we can't get there from here no we can't get there from here but I love you just the same

Wasted Time 03:15
as time goes by i wonder why all the easy days aren’t easy no more i used to have time time, time to make all the memories i have left today wasted times not wasted if i enjoyed wasting my time all that i could to magnify the little bit of good i found in myself i hear my heart sing perfect melody but the words are a tongue foreign to my mind
10.
i remember you fondly now because of all of the good times we had then you were more than a friend shared passion and laughter was a shot in the arm when we said goodbye i didn’t cry until you were out of sight it wasn’t like you tried to break my heart it just ran dry through the hole until next time i wish you well until i see you i wish you well we won’t be strangers then if we keep up with all of the good times til then i’ll have to guess how you’re passing the time & all that's on your mind

about

We are incredibly thrilled to announce that we have a new album, “Chaos Like This” coming out on October 8th 2021. Thank you to everyone who continues to listen and go to shows. Making an album is a long process, but your support reminds me why I love making this strange art - to feel alive! “Chaos Like This” is another page in that story. Just like jamming in the garage with my first guitar, playing our first show years ago, and now recording an album of songs I wrote, live in a studio to tape, with my amazing and talented friends and masterful and gifted engineers.
