Here I Come (Phantom)

The lyrics to a song I wrote (listen here).

Started at the bottom

Where else would I start?

Shot myself down to often

Now I shoot for the stars

Felt the pressure on me

Who do you think you are?

Felt pressure on me

Searching for the sun

Here I come

Have a dream to follow

Have a fight to win

Can’t wait for tomorrow

Won’t wait to begin

Sweat down my eyebrow

All in or die now

Something to do right

Something to love

Here I come

Here I come

Once upon a time there was a man at the end of a cul-de-sac

An easy life he could afford but it couldn’t afford him back

In the back of his house a phantom lived would taunt him say what if

You took a risk for greater things than a wardrobe filled with black

So he said my fears gather near there’s a challenge that I see

A hill to climb a cliff to jump it’s time for you to leave

This cul-de-sac won’t hold me back let me face the great unknown

Wanna stand up tall

Stare down death

Stop staring down my phone

Show me what you got and I’ll tell you what I see

Bedroom dreamer fantasy

Hear hear to liberty gonna waste it feeling safe

Lottery ticket is not for me

Gotta get up get out no wannabe

Shut that phantom up

Unknown here I come

Here I come

Don't Let Them Use You

The lyrics to a song I wrote (listen here).

A little less

Shows a little more

Baby you’ve got it

That’s for sure

I wouldn’t deny you

Attention you deserve

But when the boys come around

I squirm

Don’t let them use you

Don’t let them take what they don’t deserve

They’ll just peruse you

Flip the pages and never read a word

Don’t let them use you

Don’t let them take what they don’t deserve

You

Don’t let them use

Everyone will tell you

What they see is all you got

Hold you to their lips

Suck every last soul sucking drought

And when the night is over

And you’re dry as a bone

Remember what is here for you

The love of a home

Don’t let them use you

Don’t let them take what they don’t deserve

They’ll just peruse you

Flip the pages and never read a word

Don’t let them use you

Don’t let them take what they don’t deserve

You

Don’t let them use

Don’t let them use you

Don’t let them take what they won’t preserve

They’ll just consume you

Flip the pages and never read a word

Don’t let them use you

Don’t let them take what they don’t deserve

You

Don’t let them use

Don’t let them use

Find someone you love not someone you need

Don’t let them use you

Sunset Song

The lyrics to a song I wrote (listen here).

You said where are you

I said there’s something on the skyline falling

Throwing us into the shadows

You said but I thought

I said I was not lying meant every minute

While in it tomorrow was on hold

Now we’re standing on the edge of the day

It’ll hurt more the more I try to explain

So I’ll move along

And write you a sunset song

Oh could I be wrong

I wish I was wrong

She said but why now

I said don’t cry now please believe me

If we were two different people maybe this might work out 

I wish that this could work out

Now we’re standing on the edge of the day

It kills me to have to throw it away

So I’ll move along

And write you a sunset song

Oh could I be wrong

I wish I was wrong

She said goodbye now

Left as the sun fell 

Into memory

Long gone

As I sat and sang a sunset song

Sit Still

The lyrics to a song I wrote (listen here).

Woke up this morning with an itch on my neck

My doctor says I don’t need to worry about it

But I got this feeling only you can scratch

So I’m left waiting until you come back

Took myself down to the river bank

Brought a blanket I’ll just sit and wait

Watching the water flow oh what a thrill

Who am I kidding I can’t sit still

(Chorus)

Can’t tie my shoes ‘cause my hands they shake

Thinking about you while you’re away

You said you’d be back before to long

But to be honest I might be to far gone

Yellow lights don’t slow me down

Running barefoot through town

Off to where you said you’d be

Or am I running just to set myself free

(Chorus)

Can’t tie my shoes ‘cause my hands they shake

Thinking about you while you’re away

You said you’d be back before to long

But to be honest I might be to far gone

Gone

Gone

I might be to far gone

Gone

Gone

Might be to far gone

Gone

Gone

I might be to far gone

Gone

Gone

Might be to far gone

(Chorus)

Can’t tie my shoes ‘cause my hands they shake

Thinking about you while you’re away

You said you’d be back before to long

But to be honest I might be to far gone

Yeah to be honest I might be to far gone

Oh if I’m honest I might be to far gone

Yeah to be honest I might be to far gone

Oh if I’m honest I might be to far gone

The Pines

The lyrics to a song I wrote (listen here).

Towards the distant peak we plodded

Though the winds blew fierce we fought them

A simple place

We knew we’d find

Your arms were bruised my legs were cut

Reality was told of what

Had got us this far

Your hand in mine

(Chorus)

A better place we knew we’d find

If we keep moving through the pines

Many others

Would give us trouble

Say come this way

The water’s fine

But still we went our way

Past things that last a day

The fleeting kiss

Of instant bliss

The path we’re on is getting rougher

The road less travelled is not well cared for

Step by step

We carry on

(Chorus)

A better place we knew we’d find

If we keep moving through the pines

A better place we will find

As we keep moving through the pines

Connect

The lyrics to a song I wrote (listen here).

Walked through a room in my neighbors house today

They sat on a couch a gaping screen faced their way

Sometimes they’d laugh sometimes they cry

Sometimes they’d just stare

But never would they move their gaze as if they did not dare

I stood by where the father sat I asked him how he was

Twenty to ten he said but I know we’ll win because

Our offense is great

We always score late

And if we don’t win this one I’ll be mad for a week just ask my son

Jack’s hands were empty with his phone

Alone he sat

Nothing on his face

Nothing to replace dark souls

That’s the game he said

If you know the one

Grab your phone let’s have some fun

(Chorus)

Do you want to connect

Won’t you connect

You’ll be surprised what you find here

Please find me here

Change

My dear the channel she said

Put on what I love perfection fiction oh instead

Of what I’ve got

And what is real

A thrill is worth more to me than that which I can feel

(Chorus)

Do you want to connect

Won’t you connect

You’ll be surprised what you find here

Please find me here

Do you want to connect

Won’t you connect

You’ll be surprised what you find here

Please find me here

I turned to the boy

His eyes filled with joy

I said those dark souls lets both you and I destroy

Then

I heard a tone

I’m sorry friend

I’ve got to take this call

And I left faster than his eyes could fall

But as I left I could hear him sigh

I could hear him call

I could hear him cry

(Chorus)

Do you want to connect

Won’t you connect

You’ll be surprised what you find here

Do you want to connect

Won’t you connect

You’ll be surprised what you find here

Please find me here

Find me here

Find me here
