I vividly remember sitting in my white Jeep Cherokee in my high school parking lot when I first heard Chris Carrabba belt out “please send me anything but signals that are mixed cuz I can’t read your rolling eyes.” I was immediately hooked upon Chris’s first breath and down stroke of “Again I Go Unnoticed.” It was short, simple and driving. It was raw. It … Continue reading Honest Songs
When the mountains call your name I hope you think of me I hate the way this ended But it’s how its got to be When you burn that many bridges You learn how to sink or swim But I won’t be standing next to you When you burn em down again This bond is broken And will never be the same The words that … Continue reading “The Mountains Are Calling”
Call it women’s intuition Call it anything you want But self respect and dignity Were the first things that you lost I don’t need your point of reason You don’t have to say a word Close your lips, bite your tongue And save it for the birds Not a long way to fall Not a long way to fall Not a long way to fall, … Continue reading “Fall From Grace”

We set out. You can still smell the rain from the edge of town. We walk slowly and you turn to say, “But they don’t even know me.” They only judge what you have done. They will never know the pain you have been through, no. They only see a loaded gun, not a victim of a game you weren’t playing. Now there’s tattooed memories, … Continue reading “Halo” – American Dream Factory
