“haunted” - from my new album!

i think we’re haunted

i can hear the echoes of the past

thought i could forgive you

but it’s funny how long this pain can last

“half of the blame” - from my new album! 

I will understand 

when you call my name

it is not my heart 

you are here to claim 

but i will open up 

just the same

knowing when i do 

i share half of the blame

“as i am” - the title track from my new album!

please check out the full album on bandcamp! it’s only $5 for 19 tracks and (almost) all the proceeds go directly to me to help me maintain a reasonable somewhat standard of living!

if you try to fix me 

i’ll know that you’re broken

you should only want me

as i am

i know i’ve been better

but i could be a lot worse

you should only want me

as i am

“fall in line” - another song from my new album! please check it out!

i used to tell the truth

but now i’m telling lies

i used to use my heart

now i’m just using lines

i used to fall apart

but now i fall in line

words (demo)

so i just finished writing this about five minutes ago

and yeah i guess i just want to see what you guys think??

i’m kind of on the fence about this song but if you guys like it i’ll make a finished version and put it on the next album

“grasping sand”

i wrote this song over about years ago! actually, it was one of the first really complete songs i ever wrote.  i decided a few nights ago that i wanted to try rerecording it. you can find the original recording here.

And every time you hold my hand 
I feel like I am grasping sand 
And you will slip right out of my reach

whoa, i am completely floored by all the people who have been supporting my kickstarter!

i wasn’t actually planning on posting this song, but since you guys have been so amazing, here is the mp3 of the song i created for the video of the project! (though i won’t be posting a download link for it, since it is a reward for backers!)

so here it is, “hearts, thorns, and scales” - the theme song for the kickstarter and for the book itself!

“half of the blame”

a new song i finally finished last night! it’s been giving me trouble over the past few days and i am SO glad it is done!

I will understand

when you call my name

it is not my heart

you are here to claim

but i will open up

just the same

knowing when i do

i share half of the blame
