about

I'm a Chicago street performer. I perform originals as well as covers in a style that can only be described as "muscular." The music I create is rooted in the blues, but is influenced by soul, rock, country, folk and pop. Keep an eye out for my upcoming studio album! ... more

Track Name: I've Come Undone
I feel like I've come undone I'm still standing while you're out there on the run And burden of my grief weighs a ton I can't hold it. I've come undone
And no, no, no, no You can't go, go, go, go You know, know, know, know You can't go, go, go, go Cuz I love you I love you I love you I do
You were lonely and i thought we could settle down now youre restless im the one wo;s unsettled now There;s no pleasing you, you got one foot out the door there;s no pleasing you, you got one hand out begging for more
chorus
Are you holding out hope like I am?x3 Is this all just a joke like I am?
chorus
If you leave me, are you staying gone this time? If you leave me, are you sure you'll be just fine? I can't stand it, but I won't make you pay for your crimes. But just tell me, are you staying gone this time?
bridge

Track Name: I'll Just Sit and Wait (subway version)
I just sit and wait
I just sit and wait
I just sit and wait for you
I just sit and wait for you

I’m biding my time
Got nothing but time
I’m giving you time
But it’s about time

To give it a try.
Let’s give it a try.
I promise I’ll try
to not be too trying.

What more can I do?

I just sit and wait
I just sit and wait
I just sit and wait for you
I just sit and wait for you

You got stuff to work out.
Okay work it out.
We can talk it all out.
You in or you out?

I’m biding my time.
Got nothing but time.
I’m giving you time.
But it’s about time.

What more can I do?
What more can I say?
Hey

I just sit and wait
I just sit and wait
I just sit and wait for you
I just sit and wait for you
Track Name: I'm the Pathetic One
It seems condescending for you to insist
that I've got lots to offer even as I'm dismissed
I'm never gonna forgive you. No I'm never gonna forgive you.
Cuz when I told you I love you, you told me we're done
You made me the pathetic one.

You made it look easy to get over me
I'm not the kind of girl who wears her heart on her sleeve
But it seems that I still miss you so I ain't never gonna forgive you
Cuz when I'm crying my eyes out, you're out having fun
You made me the pathetic one.

Time heals all wounds, but never's too soon
for me to say that it's cool that you made me a fool
I just can't forgive you

You did all you could to make me feel good
You left our love the way that any gentleman would
But I'm never gonna forgive you. I'm never gonna forgive you.
You let me go out on this limb all alone
You made me the pathetic one.

It wasn't your intention for me to get hurt
But baby, can't you see? That just makes it worse
I'm never gonna forgive you. No I'm never gonna forgive you
Because you're strong and you're good and you've done no wrong
And I'm the pathetic one.

Nothing gold can stay but who gets the blame?
Well I sure as shit didn't make that call
So you're the guy who takes the fall.
Track Name: Time is Slipping Away
I’ve got a stack of letters and every one’s addressed to you.
But I wait by the phone just hoping that you’ll make the first move
You heard a song you thought I’d like but yet you just couldn’t share
You need some time, a bit more time , to know if you care to care

And time’s slipping away
And I’m slipping away

Still you just think about it, think about it, think about it think about me
While I think about it, think about it, think about it, think about you
I think about, I think about, I think about the things that could be
While you think about, you think about, you think about all you could lose

I mark off the days until the day that I have set for myself
The day I’ll stop my pining away and put my love on the shelf
You count the days and you count them with no end in sight
You say that you’ll know the day when conditions are right chorus

Still you think about it, think about it, think about it think about you
While I think about it, think about it, think about it, think about me
I think about, I think about, I think about all I could lose
While you think about, you think about, you think about all you could be

But time’s slipping away
Track Name: The Clock
I see your face. in my mind it’s burned. and i yearned and I yearned and I yearned. and continued the chase.
I still hear your voice. How it laughed and sighed. Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why did you make such a heart-wrenching choice?
And how do I choose? Do try to forget? Or regret or regret or regret all the time that I wasted on you?
I won’t regret the scent of your sweat

And when I wake, you’re on my mind. and I cry and I cry and I cry and I start my day
But leaving my bed is so hard to bare. You’re not there, you’re not there, you’re not there and I can’t comprehend
How you did this to me. How you stole my relief. Like a thief like a thief like a thief you moved stealthily
and gently removed yourself from my room

Still you steal my time. Our memories rewind
You left, and yet you’ve stayed. Our memories replay

In the shower the steam rises up and takes your shape
And it’s warm like your breath on my neck but it dissipates
And I know that it’s time, yes it’s time to let you go
But you’re all that I see, you’re all that I see and the only thing I know is
Your hand holding mine. You still steal my time

Still you steal my time. Our memories rewind
You left, and yet you’ve stayed. Our memories replay

And the clock, oh the clock, oh the clock, oh it keep on ticking, ticking, ticking...
Track Name: I'm Building a Home
I'm building a home that can hold all of me
So when it's time to die I'll know where I'll be
I'm setting down roots and it's about time
for me to put away all my child's play and become who I am
I'm building a home that can define all of me
So when it's time to die I'll know who I'll be
And at long last it's all mine
and at long last it's all mine
and at long last it's all mine
and at long last it's all mine
I'm setting down roots that are mine alone
this is how we prove we're independent and strong
I'm building a home that can hold all of me
so when it's time to die I'll know where I'll be
And at long last it's all mine x 4
But when I will die and it's all left behind
where's the proof that you were so kind?
I'm building a home that can only hold me
and when I will die just where will you be?
Track Name: You'll Never Hold Me Again
Will I see you again my friend on the other side of love?
You say that this isn't the end, it's just the other side of love.
I don't know if I can pretend that your friendship is enough
Because you'll never hold me again on the other side of love

It felt like you were calling my name and you looked so safe but it was only a game
And just like a moth to a flame you burned me as soon as I came but I want you just the same

Chorus

You'll never hold me again, no, no
It feels like I'm going insane and I know who's to blame. I know who's to blame

I don't mean to fuss. I'm not asking for much. I just need your touch.
And if you won't hold me I need you to show me that you've got something for me on the other side of love

Chorus
Track Name: This Sick Dog
I guess it’s possible I’m wrong. You told me--you told me all along
You didn’t have a lot to give. I insisted you were strong.
Don’t give up. You just need a little push. And then I pushed upon your nerves.
You didn’t have a lot to give. I only knew what I deserved.

And I’m sorry for all the things I’ve done.
I’m sorry I mistook you for the one.

All the times that you fell short, I told you that it was all your fault.
If you loved me the way you say you do, then tell me how did I get hurt?
We can fix it. You just need a little push. I pushed you up against a wall
And I taunted, “You know, I’m not asking for much.” I didn’t know you gave your all

And I’m sorry for all the things I’ve done.
I’m sorry I mistook you for the one.

It’s not what I envisioned, but you made a fine decision. I say, with no derision:
It didn’t have a prayer so put this sick dog down.

It’s not what I envisioned, but you made a fine decision. I say with no derision:
It didn’t have a prayer so put this sick dog down

I’m sorry for all the things I’ve done
I’m sorry I mistook you for the one.
