New song, ‘Casting Spells’

I recently wrote a new song and recorded a demo of it for you to check out, ‘Casting Spells’.

Casting Spells

I hear you casting spells in the next room
It spells my doom
And the light flickers under the door
The wind howls you fly back for more

I would lay across your altar, everything to offer
Then the Moon slides across your blade
My smile is not afraid

Our stars will tell you I drank the potion
With my eyes wide open
Our stars will tell you I drank the potion
With my eyes wide open

Draw your circle of protection, check my reflection
While the fire tries to purify
If you want to know, look into my eyes

Our stars will tell you I drank the potion
With my eyes wide open
Our stars will tell you I drank the potion
With my eyes wide open
Our stars will tell you I drank the potion
With my eyes wide open
Our stars will tell you I drank the potion
With my eyes wide…

Enjoy!

White Hoods In The White House – Lyrics

White Hoods In The White House

Who’s gonna wash those white hoods in the White House?
They’re gonna find out!
Break out their finest crosses to burn on the Front Lawn
They get so turned on!

Pretend to not feel the heat, so comfy in that seat
Check your heart beat!
Maybe they won’t come for you, if you follow their rules
Such a fool!

If you need us we’ll be out in the street
Marching toward freedom, it won’t be on TV
If you need us we’ll be out in the street
Marching toward justice, it won’t be on TV

Watch the waters keep rising, while compromising
Just jump in!
It wasn’t so far back in history, it’s no mystery
We said “Never again!”

If you need us we’ll be out in the street
Marching toward freedom, it won’t be on TV
If you need us we’ll be out in the street
Marching toward justice, it won’t be on TV
If you need us we’ll be out in the street
Marching for our sisters, it won’t be on TV
If you need us we’ll be out in the street
Marching for our brothers, it won’t be on TV

As Good As It Gets – Lyrics

As Good As It Gets

You say you’re a bullfighter, but I cheer, I cheer for the bull
They try to orbit this fool, but I push, I push before I pull

I slip the shackle from my wrist, will my hand fold to a fist?
Why do I tilt at windmills, my dear?, I should lean into that kiss

I always feel like there’s no time to waste
I’ve gotta run some race, lose some face
No matter how high I climb the Sun always sets
I’m gonna place some bets, pay with regrets
I will quicken my pace so I can see that face
Get that sweet aftertaste, let me plead my case
I won’t win statuettes, but I am still possessed
I will take my best guess, is this as good as it gets?

Yes I like the impossible, my hope’s unstoppable, keep my blood pounding to the end
It could be my heart’s unbreakable, uncontainable, but let’s see if it can bend

I always feel like there’s no time to waste
I’ve gotta run some race, lose some face
No matter how high I climb the Sun always sets
I’m gonna place some bets, pay with regrets
I will quicken my pace so I can see that face
Get that sweet aftertaste, let me plead my case
I won’t win statuettes, but I am still possessed
I will take my best guess, is this as good as it gets?

I always feel like there’s no time to waste
I’ve gotta run some race, lose some face
No matter how high I climb the Sun always sets
I’m gonna place some bets, pay with regrets
I will quicken my pace so I can see that face
Get that sweet aftertaste, let me plead my case
I won’t win statuettes, but I am still possessed
I will take my best guess, is this as good as it gets?

Kumbaya Supernova – Lyrics

Kumbaya Supernova

My heroes have always been space cowboys
Gravity could not hold them in
So you radio “Are your ghosts there on the moon?”
I look out the porthole and see a whole platoon
Then I hitch a ride from the dark side of my mind
I’ve got to go too far too fast so I can slow down time

I can sing campfire songs, ‘Kumbaya Supernova’
You know the words so grab your shades, lock in and beam on over

Reserve a table for one at the end of the Universe
The view is clear to the event horizon, but I can still reverse
“Slow down, turn back” they scream with red lights warning
But I laugh “Geronimo!”, “Allons-y!”, “Second star and on ’til morning!”

“Slow down, turn back” they scream with red lights warning
But I laugh “Geronimo!”, “Allons-y!”, “Second star and on ’til morning!”

“Slow down, turn back” they scream with red lights warning
But I laugh “Geronimo!”, “Allons-y!”, “Second star and on ’til morning!”

‘Mexico’ Handwritten Words and Music

I found a cool app that let’s me plug in my chord finger positions and it gives me the name of the chords I’m playing, so now I can write out my music and not be completely wrong. ‘Mexico ‘ is one of my songs that people cover the most so I figured I’d chart it out first, here are the words and chords:

Yes, I know, my handwriting is terrible. Hopefully you can Rosetta Stone your way through it.

Suite: Maid Of The Guillotine – Lyrics

Part I

You had your chance to get away
You probably could have paid
But now, here we come, wherever you run
We’ll end this masquerade

You could hear when we begged for mercy for our families
Your heart knew it was wrong
It’s sad justice, it had to be this way
We waited so long, so so long

Part 2

What have you got in your basket, fair maid of the guillotine?
What have you got in your basket, fair maid of the guillotine?
We’ll trade the heads of rich men for our freedom, the cut is clean
We’ll trade the heads of rich men for our freedom, the cut is clean

Part 3

We don’t have to take this shit no more, we don’t have to listen to you
We finally settled the score, now our world is a brighter hue

So let’s get down, down to what feels good
Grooving on their graves, can’t be misunderstood

So let’s get down, down to what feels good
Dancing on their graves, can’t be misunderstood

So let’s get down, down to what feels good
Grooving on their graves, can’t be misunderstood

Let’s Meet At Sunset – Lyrics

It’s been a good time
I cannot complain
I dragged the Ark through the desert
While you tried to be my rain

I laughed free
Sang in the fever of love
Danced in the ring
With lead in my boxing gloves

Let’s meet at sunset
I’ll be floating on my back
In a boat
On fire
Through the waves

Let’s meet at sunset
I’ll be floating on my back
In a boat
On fire
Through the waves

For my last words, my wisdom
My life story
Instead just “I love you”
“I love you”

Let’s meet at sunset
I’ll be floating on my back
In a boat
On fire
Through the waves

Let’s meet at sunset
I’ll be floating on my back
In a boat
On fire
Through the waves
