When I Wake
03:45

A full moon rises and I see in its reflection that I'm finally on my way to being better for this all
And dark skies lighten every day and I will keep the pace a slow and steady rhythm to the rise after the fall
Keep me together
When I wake
And when the dark remains
Make it fade away
The tears that lived inside my eyes for all that time are drying up and I can finally see the certain truth inside
The flecks of emerald Green are sparkling ever brighter from the tide that rose so high that it begat a great divide
Keep me together
When I wake
And when the dark remains
I'll light up the day
I'll light up the day
I'll light up the day
When I Wake
Will I see
A dark and dismal shadow hanging over all the trees
Or will I
Find my space
Under a light of green and gold that always helps me keep my place
When I Wake

Hindsight
04:56

I won’t ask for a lot
Just one simple request
Give me some space but please don’t forget me
We know it’s for the best
Why can’t I put to rest
All the times we had spent under the trees
And what do they mean when they say
Hindsight is 20/20
Looking back I know I didn’t treat you so well honey
So I’ll take the blame
If you’ll just say my name
Don’t forget me and please say
“I’m still glad you came”
Cause I don’t want to feel like
We wasted each other’s best years
That would be too hard to surmise
I can see now that I took you for granted
And if I could change it I’d shift and revise
And it could have been that we spent
Almost a decade in vain
Looking back now I know we’re both different, we’re not the same
We changed each other’s lives
Through those days and those nights
We changed for good and I’m still so glad you came
And one by one
All these memories do their best
To set the tone
To move forward but also digress
And what do they mean when they say
Hindsight is 20/20
Looking back now I know I didn’t treat you so well, honey
So I’ll take the blame
If you’ll just say my name
Don’t forget me and please say
“I’m still glad you came”

My Grace
03:39
|

I had a dream I had a house inside me
Beautiful and ready for me to move in it
Why is it I can’t find my way to this place
That’s clearly there begging for me to find my grace
Find my grace
A house full of everything I’d ever need
And it was hidden away like a wrapped up secret
But when the world reminded me that it was there
A space for me to call my own and find my grace
Find my grace
I knew that it was time for me to move in
Into the house I’d built and it was just for me
And it was just for me
My house, my house
My grace
A place that I could take care of all by myself
I’ve never taken care the way I need to
It’s time to get the door, it’s open waiting
Waiting for me to find my space and find my grace
Find my grace
And when I find the door if I can find the key
I’ll open wide and let the heart inside of me
Enter into the house of dreams that hides so deep
And deeper that it goes therein I’ll find my grace
Find my grace

Play me for a fool
String me right along
You know I'll just write
Another stupid song
You're my weak spot
And I ain't got
The wherewithal to keep on pushing along
You don't want me
Like you used to
We mourned long ago
That's according to you
I don't want to
Cry anymore
You know under the rug
Is my heart on the floor
So I'll write another stupid song
Sing another verse but you'll
Never play along
I haven't seen your face in far too long
And by the time this song is done
You'll have gone off and moved on
I can only hope that somehow
It'll wind up better
In the long run

Oh!

You and me were a couple of bees
Flying from tree to tree and pollinating all the leaves
You see you meant so much to me
But when it ended I had to start flying free
And at first I said oh
I just don't know where I can go
So I guess I'll go to bed
I've got it to myself, I'll spread out like a starfish instead
But when the night becomes too long
You remember there was that boy from work who made a song
You say, "want to come over and we can jam?" and he says
"Sure let me grab a smoke and I'll be right there"
And we say oh
I guess it's good we finally know
It's better if we're friends instead
It was ok but now it's over
You can get out of my bed
The night is getting longer still
And my old love has fed me one too many bitter pills
And langen tells me I should try a thing to help me through
So I download tinder and like magic it is right on cue
A handsome boy says "oh hello,
We ain't got time to take it slow,
So you should take me to a show
We'll go back to your place afterwards, I can show you what I know"
And then you find a boy you think might really fancy you
Takes you to dinner, even makes rapport with all your crew
It's going well and his kiss knows how to turn you to goo
Back at his place we turn on Netflix, then the time is due
We say oh
This time it must be right I know
Because you said I had a glow
It felt real good but after, I'm left wondering, where did you go?
And when they leave you feel the loneliness wash over you
They only wanted to be friends with benefits but even that's askew
They don't call, write, or send a carrier bird
It's like they don't want to talk about it but they still want to be heard
So after a while I say "no"
I've all the time to take it slow
I'm getting to know me you know
But first I had to adventure out, had 8 years of seeds to sow
So I'll take it slow
Cuz I'm not looking for your average Joe

Actor's Song
03:34
|

Some people know from a very young age that they want to be somebody else
Fears instilled early that they will be just ordinary or left on the shelf
And as they grow they feel a longing inside to escape what they’ve found true to be
Skin it gets thicker and heartbeats get quicker they know just what will set them free
They should be actors
In a company
Someone else entirely
Don’t have to be me
And some they’re born with a feeling in their bones have to laugh, have to dance, have to sing
And through come what may they’ll finally find they’re way to the stage and all that it can bring
Like ways to break free from their reality, find a voice, find a place, make a change
Anything they desire can come to be if they step outside their comfort range
They will be actors
In a company
They’ll find kindred spirits
And they’ll sing in harmony
They’ll know just what they’re made for
And they will be free
