about

I rarely find my writing straying from matters of personal relationships to those of global or political commentary. It does, however, happen occasionally...but tends to end up with the same conclusion - I'm a guy with more questions than answers.

lyrics

everybody's got a definition of love.
everybody's got a better world they're dreaming of.
i'm just floating 'round like a lonesome dove,
trying to find a reason to fight come push or shove.

i am but an honest man now.
i've got but a simple plan how to be.

the world's grown grayer by the hour.
folks drowned down to their graves by a simple summer shower, and there ain't nothin' brave or natural now.
this ain't a war - it's a way with words.
we're makin' bombs and flares from glares and birds.

everybody's got a definition of right.
everybody's bound to get lost in the middle of the night.
i'm just floating 'round like a candle light...
trying to find a reason not to start this fire.

i am tired of waiting my turn.
i've got but a simple plan how to burn.

the world's grown grayer by the hour.
folks drowned down to their graves by a simple summer shower, and there ain't nothin' brave or natural now.
this ain't a war - it's a way with words.
we're makin' bombs and flares from glares and birds.

i ain't feelin' safer if i ain't free.
there ain't no mouthpiece for guys like me.
they say "someone'll come along and make it right as rain."
so they keep trading blue skies for hurricanes.

the world's grown grayer by the hour.
folks drowned down to their graves by a simple summer shower, and there ain't nothin' brave or natural now.
this ain't a war - it's a way with words.
we're makin' bombs and flares from glares and birds.
