So many people have come to me with questions on my lyrics. What do they mean? Where do they come from? And I thought I would take the time not only to post the lyrics, but to also briefly describe how I felt, or what I was going through at the time to make me write them. You may learn somethings, but I hope that everyone can enjoy them, and take with them what they feel. G

Stalemate was written during the course of a three year long relationship that went nowhere. It sybolical refers to many incidents, and physicalities about the whole situation. Over those three long years though, I learned alot. It was a growing expireince that, though may have left a foul taste in my mouth opened my eyes to many things. One major being that as an individual deserve to be treated as good as you treat someone. Without droping a poor me scenario on you, let me explain by saying that I poured my very heart, and soul into the relationship, and got hurt in return. So be good to each other.

Stalemate (Real Audio link)

Vs.1 Put away your white flag, Cause I'm not here to fight. Decorated landfill, With one green light. Ch.1 Ride around your caousel, There's a gold ring in sight. Horses revolve everywhere, Under seven stars tonight. Vs.2 Latenight coffee and cigarettes, She's too late to sleep. Smoke them down to my finger tips, But it's nice and cheap. Ch.2 This drama costs too much, and I'm not willing to pay. A clean slate that broke into you, Shined bright one day. Bridge There's a place in outer space To hide amongst the stars. You've closed your eyes inside of your heart. And made the distance far. Vs.3 Battle fields are empty now, And all our blood has spilled. No one fought this war to win, Shoes were left unfilled. Ch.3 We could have had this world We could have had it all. But I settled for a cardboard box, With rain soaked, and fallen walls. We Could have had this world, Could've had everything. But I settled for so much less, And where have all these good things gone...away. Outro It's all over now (x4)

I think this next song is the best way to explain my writing. As crazy as it sounds, I cannot write songs, whether it be music, or lyrics, I can't write songs. Until they are meant to be written. It's as if a voice, or energy from far beyond says, "It's time...go write." And that is the only time I can. Sometimes (like this next song) I don't know what they mean. Sometimes it's prophecy of things that eventually come to pass. Other times, they just make themselves obvious through experience.

Vs.1 She wasn't there. You didn't see. The way's I've looked, Inside of me Don't come around. Don't break my fall. I'm not too high. You're not at all. Ch. And please don't beg. And please don't wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why they stayed Vs.2 Where is this place? Cause I can't find. The reasons if, I've got no time. If it's alright, I'd like to cry. She is so fine. Just let this die. Ch. Bridge Moved by starlight, Live by the moonlight, Die in the sunlight, And hide in you love.

It became painfully obvious what this song was truely about the other night. Once again proving my point that much of what is written is prophecy. It was about a moral decision I had to make within myself that i knew no matter what I chose I lost something. In this case it was a good friend, but I would make the same choice again. I understand the pressure I felt in the lyrics then that I feel in real life now.

Fading August in itself is a look at a past relationship. Time took it's toll on it and sundered it imobile. I was young, and thought it was the end of the world, but learned that you learn more about love when it is gone, and still hold the memory of this relationship dear. It also signifies a time frame that year after year takes its toll. It seems the end of August always brings about loss, or hard times.

Fading August

Vs.1 Angel sing a song to me Before I fall asleep and close my eyes, before I die. And Mother tuck me into tonight, So I don't have to demonstrate revenge, Misplaced a friend. Chorus I wasn't what she wanted, Not even worth a try, She could'nt help but run, When I said don't let this die. Vs.2 I couldn't let the blue skies walk away from me again, My ice is thin. If I submit with candles lit, I might not make it to my home, I'm all alone. Chorus Vs.3 Five foot two, All black, and blue, Like a badge of pride, She's always worn inside, I feel I'm dying. Tearing across the American road, Like a sun that has not begun to set, At least not yet. Chorus Final I wasn't wht she wanted, Not even worth a try, She couldn't help but run, When I said don't let this good thing Die. Outro Don't fade away from me, Don't fade away from me, Don't fade away from me, Just burn up all at once, in front of my eyes

Alright, this is an old one. And I won't lie, it is about my first love Heather. I think that young love is a funny thing. It's a powerful thing when your eighteen. It makes you do crazy things, and when you look back on it, you realize how much of an ass you were. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret it, and with out your first love, how are you supposed to have another.
