thirty two the same age that you were when you became my mother ,dear but I'm alone no place to call home how I wish you were still here, still here there's no rhyme and there's no reason as time turns to another season the good are gone and the bad get badder my songs are sad and sadder no baby mine with your smile I think I'll go lay down for a while no one to fight for, no one to fight with no one to spend night after night with he made a little girl a liar took all she loved and it set it on fire stole her dreams & took them apart he even dismantled her little plastic heart what makes us special makes us lonely so many crowds no "one and only" but if the choice is this or a fist to the face I'll regard my empty bed as a state of grace thirty two, the same age that you were when you became my mother, dear you suffered so to bring me glory I'll do what I can to tell your story

don't sing me love songs you know I can't hear them for my heart is broken like waves on the shore but tell me your stories over and over it's the sound of your voice I adore we met in summer your voice made my blood roar like the sea but you loved another I couldn't help falling it was too late for me I wait by the water I watch the horizon for signs of your ship returning to land you're no buckskin stallion just a sad eyed rambling man you've no golden galleon but you do have my heart in your hands you were so gentle holding my head until all was still I was so sentimental thinking I could bend you to my will I wish I were the traveler I wish I were leaving you behind a thin line against the vastness a sliver of dark against the sky but I am no rover I need companion by my side so don't sing me love songs or I'll never get to sleep tonight don't sing me love songs you know I can't hear them for my heart is broken like waves on the shore but tell me your stories over and over the sound of your voice awakens me and I drown

peter was a lost boy who thought that he could fly but he kept wendy's thimble til the day that he died wendy was a child who took all that she could and peter would if she would but he never would chorus we're just telling stories before we say goodnight we want a happy ending before we're tucked in tight some are tragic ballads some have epic themes and the farce disguised as romance will haunt our dreams alice was a rover who couldn't stand still no one's ever held her and no one ever will the white knight was a fool who thought that she would fall he thought she found him charming but she didn't think that way at all *chorus* I am just a rambler a storyteller by trade and you are a character I didn't realize that I'd made I thought that you would ease me I thought you would be true but in the end it turned out there was no such man as you I was just telling stories before I said goodnight I wanted a happy ending before we were tucked in tight some were tragic ballads and some had epic themes but it's the farce disguised as romance that haunts my dreams

about

An un-album.

What was happening to me in 2012? I don't know. I wrote a bunch of weird songs and recorded multi-layered versions of them, and re-recorded some old songs that have been recorded at least once before. Oh, 2012, what an innocent time. Will we ever know its like again?
