Lyrics: "Blind Eye"

"Blind Eye"

Lost travelers of land
Find no destination,
if treading the sand's
Your mind's manifestation 
Of an escape unneeded 
From problems unheeded.
You should have stayed behind,
But you lied to us all. Cheated 
Yourself right from the start.
How could somebody so smart
Find a way to shed his logic. 
His body just falls apart.
Hiding behind ways of a loner 
Never did help.
Perhaps it was all of the
Personal shit you dealt
With on a day to day basis.
The constantly changing faces 
Of people once deemed 
Your true friends
All gone.
And you're left with loose ends.
Still, a blind eye's turned.
Against the one who's earned 
Your trust . No questions asked 
But now you're called out.
Your truths unmasked
If you leave this time, 
Let's bid farewell, goodbye
Warm welcomes won't exist.
Don't try to reach out.
You'll be dismissed.

Lyrics: Take it all back


Can you take back the night that we first kissed
It'll be one less moment to be missed
Can you unsay words that made me melt
I wanna forget the way it felt
(How great it felt)

To fall for you. I fell too soon
You know, you went away
But the memories stayed
Just take it
Take it all back

Would you please erase those mushy texts
Could we unhave all that dirty sex
I'll act as though you're just some guy
While you pretend I never saw you cry
(I never tried)


To fall for you. I fell too soon
You know, you went away
But the memories stayed
Just take it
Take it all back

Let's you and me go back
Way back before this trip began
I'm sorta tripping, stumbling
Trying to regain my story but
Your chapters flood my pages
Can't rip them out
The pictures are just too damn pretty

I would not help
I could not help

But to fall for you. I fell too soon
You know, you went away
But the memories stayed
Just take it
Take it all back

Let's undo and go back
(Just take it all back)
Please leave me and erase your memory
(Take it all back)

Lyrics: "I'm Coming To You, This Time"

A song based on a line from "Almost Famous"


To Russel, From Penny. 





Climb in here with me. Away 
From lights that blind your pretty eyes
Its warm in here, the quiet shade. 
An aid to help us sleep at night.

No rocking back and forth. The road's 
No place to rest your head
You call that box on wheels a home. 
But no one shares your bed.

I've made a fort of cigarettes 
And coffee cups to get us started.
The smell alone, instant regrets.
But reminiscent of when we last parted.

I was a little bit tipsy.
You were a little bit 'quiet soul'.
You said your chicken was shitty ,
So I offered some of my casserole. 

Chorus: 
**
I'd travel the world for 
Precious moments spent with you
Yet all you need is here, my darling fool.
And I won't move again, 
These feet stay put until you're mine.
When you sing "I'm coming to you, this time"
**

We measure time like no one else 
I know. It comes as no surprise. 
The two of us,  sad wishing wells. 
Just tossing pennies from the skies. 

How many places have we seen
Through two apposing points of view?
And when you're gone, does it just mean
Your feelings ride that plane with you,
Out of my life again?

Chorus: 
**
I'd travel the world for 
Precious moments spent with you
Yet all you need is here, my darling fool.
And I won't move again, 
These feet stay put until you're mine.
When you sing "I'm coming to you, this time"

Lyrics: "Never was a Bigger Tale Told"

So it's morning time. Again. I'm having trouble sleeping. Again.
I ended up writing a song. Again. I've been so bleh
lately and writing seems to help. I've taken a quick commercial
break from writing epic/story lyrics where I hear crazy
guitar and drums going on... and I decided to write something
a bit more folky. Hope who ever is reading this, likes it.
thanks, xo




























"Never was a Bigger Tale Told"

Thoughts have now escaped
From the grips of this girl's mind
In this here 6:45 am sunrise
The evening fell so quick and harsh
It was really no surprise
Upon this here love affair of mine.

Bliss slipped into ignorance
And promises became wishful thinking
When reality settled in bed with me
And I cuddled along side reminiscing

***
You sang to me "forever"
and I swore to you I'd never
Let you leave from me
Gone from sight or hold
Never was a bigger tale told.
***

Walls had been built to prevent such occurrence
To the heavens' high, angels needed windows.
My heart remained surrounded, awaiting your disturbance
Now it's gone goodbye. Debris flies where the wind blows

Had it been another day, another place in time
What could have been, what should have been
Would have been divine
But here today, ideas of us float further away
In a river flooded with memories
Of the sweet words you would say

***
You sang to me "forever"
and I swore to you I'd never
Let you leave from me
Gone from sight or hold
Never was a bigger tale told.
***
And it's not your fault
The pages in our love story
Were just stuck together
And you and I, we've read too far ahead
Eventually we'll get our
Happily ever after
Until then, I'll just lay here in my bed...
Missing you and all that silly mush you said...

***
You sang to me "forever"
and I swore to you I'd never
Let you leave from me
Gone from sight or hold
Never was a bigger tale told.

***
You sang to me "forever"
and I swore to you I'd never
Let you leave from me
Gone from sight or hold
Never was a bigger tale told.

Lyrics: Mother Lilith After Eden

So if anyone knows the myth of Lilith, she's said to be this evil temptress who was believed to be the first wife of Adam. God kicked her out of eden when she refused to bow to Adam. I'm currently writing a movie about her, changed her story up a bit. Here is a song I wrote for a scene in the movie where she meets Kahli (the boy from my previous song titled "Walk On" ) and tells a bit of her story. I hope you guys like it <3

"Mother Lilith After Eden"

A story told through words of God paint lies
On a canvas held intact by nails that allowed my crucifixion
And one-sided crimes that faced poor jurisdiction
Casted out into dead man's land
Before he took hold of innocence and
Punishment fell upon you all.
Once equals before. You sent me down upon the earth's terrain
To walk the grass with your creation not side by side,
But to drag behind?
You made me an abomination!

***Keel to command lest ye fall victim to exile
There's a lot more to fear out there than you
Father, don't reprimand me. I've loved you all the while
But I refuse to bow down to your fool.

Relinquish independence now before you reach your end
My end can only come so soon, my dear.
Abandoned hope proved path of choice the day you lost your head
Farewell, stay well. But get me out of here.***

Revenge countered his highness as the present world was birthed.
Re-created with revisions through blood stained church glasses
New life manifested in thought of a woman scorned
On the eve of his gift of Eve to honor boy Adam.
In the masses, demon spawned in gold plated cradles
Behind walls. Hidden earth. Demons pawned their souls for a later
Promise a pay well its worth

***Keel to command lest ye fall victim to exile
There's a lot more to fear out there than you
Father, don't reprimand me. I've loved you all the while
But I refuse to bow down to your fool.

Relinquish independence now before you reach your end
My end can only come so soon, my dear.
Abandoned hope proved path of choice the day you lost your head
Farewell, stay well. But get me out of here.***

Soon came to pass, mortal sin became recognized
Beneath righteous hands, naked truth laid between the lines
Death reigned through time without just cause or question
Mothers of children left their homes for hell
Of course your heaven went missing
Archfiend seed received through unholy conception
Disastrous breed, relieved from grip, for so called redemption.

But now you're here. Delivered to me against everything evil
Untouched by blood of my name, so this means I can keep you
You'll never go away from me, I'll never let you leave
Boy you now belong to me. And I'll make you believe.

Child. Oh, my child. I'm your mama now.


***Keel to command lest ye fall victim to exile
There's a lot more to fear out there than you
Father, don't reprimand me. I've loved you all the while
But I refuse to bow down to your fool.

Relinquish independence now before you reach your end
My end can only come so soon, my dear.
Abandoned hope proved path of choice the day you lost your head
Farewell, stay well. But get me out of here.***

Lyrics: "Walk On"

This is actually a song I'm working on based off of a scene in a movie I'm writing. In Africa, war and disease plague a small home. One night, a boy sings to his brother, Kahli.

Walk On

The night reaches end
As we lie on this desert ground
Little brother look against those stars
Take in a glance of the world around
You. You're too young to know life as I
Too innocent to recognize the cry
I hear all the time

Mother's leaving soon
And I know its hard to comprehend
But I'm here for you, now
A broken home I'll try to mend
Don't let your head sink down
In this time of fear and circumstance
You're still just a boy
Don't let them take your happiness

This place is ours no more
Don't hinder thoughts of what use to be
Be advised what you're fighting for
Don't you dare come back for me


Walk on.
Don't look behind you, Kahli!
Close your eyes and turn away
You have to tread this road without me
The scene at play will cause delay
In your predetermined destination
No breathing life, resuscitation
Now. Now. Now.
Could you face the fate that you had feared
And would you stay until the smoke has cleared?
Go on. Walk on.

Morning rises
Along the side of our home
Resting in her bed,
The warm soaked rag upon her head
has finally turned cold
With her last breath, she spilled goodbyes
Words left her mouth a thousand times
Before. This time for sure .
She was gone from our lives.

A failed attempt of a final prayer
Before the foul stench creeped in the air
The first shot cracked my eardrum
Snatched attention
Eyes went out the window in search of
Some connection

Between sound and action
Curiosity caused distraction
Never stood a chance with the bashing
Against the door followed by crashing
Sounds.

This place is ours no more
Don't hinder thoughts of what use to be
Be advised what you're fighting for
Don't you dare come back for me

Walk on.
Don't look behind you, Kahli!
Close your eyes and turn away
You have to tread this road without me
The scene at play will cause delay
In your predetermined destination
No breathing life, resuscitation
Now. Now. Now.
Could you face the fate that you had feared
And would you stay until the smoke has cleared?
Go on. Walk on.
