Well…. I’ve started adding lyrics to videos- what do you think? Some say this is good & some say it is bad.

Fly away in a little bit
Fly away in a cloud of strings
Like the sun on an icicle
You found your pair of wings.
When the time wasn’t over yet
When the time was ready to begin
When my heart was red lying in a box
Waiting for the sticking pin.
There you go, I know your eyes
Fire with a flash of pain
Feel it burn, feel it end
What is the name of this thing that remains?
Fly away in a little bit
Fly away in a cloud of strings
Like the sun on an icicle
You found your pair of wings.
There you go, the hand that wears the glove of velvet red
Like a woman, like a child, is the man afraid of his own death
Like a woman, like a child- the man who will never fight
Flickering beneath the sky and dying that same night.
Fly away in a little bit
Fly away in a cloud of strings
Like the sun on an icicle
You found your pair of wings.
There you go, the man I know whose legs are far too thin
Find the box and open it to push your stick pin in
Fire I know, death I know, I also know your eyes
Like a woman, like a child- the man who never lies.
Fly away in a little bit
Fly away in a cloud of strings
Like the sun on an icicle
You found your pair of wings.
AI art is a decent choice aesthetically but I don’t use any AI in my music, or writing for that matter, and it would make me feel sick if people thought it was an AI creation, generated by the click of a button, when in reality I’m slaving away away surrounded by black wires…
And fwiw the beautiful brand new PlushMellow in this photo is available for adoption. A $20 adoption fee includes shipping. One of my first gigs when I was desperately trying to survive was finding good homes for stuffed animals. I’ve learned I have to think bigger to make it in this world but I still need to find homes for the few I have left.

Waiting for the sticking pin.

sing and gleam, mountain stream
I know where you flow
falling down, losing ground
crash the world below
lose the dream
of purity you wanted me to bring
lose the dream
there’s nothing sacred now
something fails, yet still goes on
I was in the box, but now it’s gone
like a swirl, like a wave
changing me inside
suck me down, underneath
this is where I’ll hide
on and on
to bluer things you wanted me to bring
on and on
your arrow in my hand
something dies, yet still goes on
I was in the box, but now it’s gone
waterfall over me
holding up my hands
blue and cold, touching me
I don’t understand
how I feel
I waited for you everyday alone
standing there
there’s nothing certain now
losing form, yet flowing on
I was in the box, but now its gone
And just in case you enjoy giving people money…
Come home take my heart out of its box
Lie down let the voices talk
And they tell me to survive
It’s good to be alive
So feed the fire inside
Money is the green light, don’t you know?
When it’s gone you gotta go
I know
Arms- a place no one can stay
Love is a word- words fly away
Learn to remain
And I’ll be proud of you babe
See the world in all its lies
Learn to see through different eyes
Driving past men in your car
Can you see through their charms?
They heal, they harm
Money is the green light, don’t you know?
When it’s gone you gotta go
I know
Arms- a place no one can stay
Love is a word- words fly away
Learn to remain
And I’ll be proud of you babe
Learn to love the fire inside
Do whatever you do to survive
When they lead you to the cave
You can act like it’s okay
But just remember- they lie
Learn to take the money then you run
Down by the river to the setting sun
The world a place no one can stay
Everybody’s words will fly away
Learn what remains
And I’ll be proud of you
I’ll be so proud of you
I’ll be proud of you babe
(Can you please just ignore the way my face looks in the frozen video screen? Youtube just selects a random moment from the video & it is hard to sing in a way where you never look weird. The hardest part of being a musician is how you are also supposed to be a professional engineer. And someone who likes to be on stage. And self promoter, etc etc etc)
Can you close your eyes we’re almost there?
I can feel the tendrils of his hair
Look I see the pole they said that we’d find
First you know we saw it in our mind.
Close your eyes and let him start to speak
First we fall down limply then go weak
Though we cannot move we see the star
And we know this man will take us FAR.
First we feel his hands caress our face
Lips that part too gently to erase
All the things that lay behind us now
Things that hurt us in the mind somehow.
Darkened hands that lifted up the lid
Of the heavy black box where we hid
Till those heavy hands became a star
And we knew this man would take us FAR.
Sister hold my hand it’s just the two of us to withstand what he gives.
Let your mind give way you know they say the one who dies will be the only one lives.
First his eyes seem black then they seem blue
First he watches me then watches you
As though we were dancing though we lie
Paralyzed and facing towards the sky.
Then we feel his hands begin to touch
Do we like it no or very much?
Either way we’re flying in his car
We have found the man who takes us FAR.

Sing and gleam, mountain stream
I know where you flow.
Falling down, losing ground
Crash the world below.
Lose the dream
of purity you wanted me to bring.
Lose the dream
There’s nothing sacred now.
Something fails, yet still goes on.
I was in the box, but now it’s gone.
Like a swirl, like a wave
Changing me inside
Suck me down, underneath
This is where I’ll hide.
On and on
to bluer things you wanted me to bring.
On and on
Your arrow in my hand.
Something dies, yet still goes on.
I was in the box, but now it’s gone.
Waterfall over me
Holding up my hands
Blue and cold, touching me
I don’t understand
How I feel
I waited for you everyday alone
Standing there
There’s nothing certain now.
Losing form, yet flowing on
I was in the box, but now its gone.
You came to me just like the sky
Gave me a box and it was filled with only time
Don’t wanna have to say it; don’t wanna feel the pain at all
But you know it was never there at all.
Flowing away I watch you go
I was prepared- I know the ways that life can go
Don’t wanna have to say it; don’t wanna feel the pain at all
But you know if was never there at all.
Burning me to the ground now
Scatter the dust around now
Into the wind I fly, I feel you there surrounding me.
Enter in the rains to brings me down
Luminous hands from all around
You are the sky you hold me in, you press me down, you keep me.
Reach for a life within your sky
I know that I’m a bird and I can truly fly
Don’t wanna have to say it; don’t wanna play the game at all
But you know it was never real at all.
Pushing me down upon the stones
Making me strong within the bones
It’s not a dream- I fight the mud, I dig the dirt, this is my home.
Watching all the blood flow on the ground
Luminous red within the brown
It’s not a dream- you are the sky, you press me down, you keep me.
I came to you because of need
I came to you because you’d teach me how to bleed
And I’ll be the one to say it; and I’ll be the one to take the fall
But you know it was never real at all.
Sing and gleam, mountain stream
I know where you flow.
Falling down, losing ground
Crash the world below.
Lose the dream
of purity you wanted me to bring.
Lose the dream
There’s nothing sacred now.
Something fails, yet still goes on.
I was in the box, but now it’s gone.
Like a swirl, like a wave
Changing me inside
Suck me down, underneath
This is where I’ll hide.
On and on
to bluer things you wanted me to bring.
On and on
Your arrow in my hand.
Something dies, yet still goes on.
I was in the box, but now it’s gone.
Waterfall over me
Holding up my hands
Blue and cold, touching me
I don’t understand
How I feel
I waited for you everyday alone
Standing there
There’s nothing certain now.
Losing form, yet flowing on
I was in the box, but now its gone.
