Ask Again

I asked how much and you sorta told me
Wait and see where we at
I sit and wait. Think about the things to come
Should I run or stick it out
I don’t know. You’re indirect
No respect for yourself or anyone you see
So where we at? I really wanna know
Stay or should I go, I ask again
I ask again because I really wanna know
Just goes to show, I still might ask again
It lingers on, no no no it will not leave
You deceive at every turn
So about now, the crossroad looking near
The path clear, maybe not here
Sashay away, I may not stay
Because the pay, is in the gray

Apologize (I'm Sorry)

It’s not for lack of trying, I really wanna try
But even when I do my best, some things just pass me by
I really wanna tell you that I don’t mean to be dumb
But everybody makes mistakes, I make more than some
An introspective jingle, So I hope you come to know
It’s not for lack of trying, and I love you so
I will sure fuck up and then apologize
But I want you to feel the realness serving up inside
I’m sorry
I’m sorry that I’m me sometimes
Sometimes I just apologize
There are bumpy bits in any road we drive
There are choppy waters when ocean comes alive
Thunder and lightning will crash down from the sky
And then a dawn will break, to night we say goodbye
Tornados comes and gusty gale goes on
But even in the eye of the storm there are bits of calm
Press on to the morning and see the day anew
Let the fog dissipate and see it’s just me and you

Back Off!!!

One is for the drum and bass
Catch me on two and four
They keep that rhythm in your face
While I augment with chords
To keep it super funky
You gotta flex the beat
You gotta know when to step up and
When to take a seat
We play together
But we also play along
Take That funky purple texture
And Turn it to a song
To Make it groove on right
Put shtank up in the mix
If you get overzealous
There is a quick fix
Back off!!!
Your time will come along
Just wait your turn
Twist the volume knob to the right
Let the solo burn
Not yet!
there’s time to feel the beat
Let the groove develop
People get out yours seats
The time for exploration has a begun
After the chorus you can occupy the one
til then:

Faux Country

Take a ride just a little out of town
It’s not far, no, it can be found
It’s right on the map with beers on tap and cocktails too
The decor is farm fresh.
You’ll be impressed with the menu
They cater to a point of view than me or you
Were going faux country
That’s far enough for me
Just enough to prove
I’m always on the move
Just take a look at my IG
Just 15 minutes up Old Best
You’ll be impressed I’m telling you
They put animals there,
placed with care. The feeling's true
Just enough to feel alive
It’s just a drive up the avenue
Be there in just a bit, then we’ll sit
And have a drink or two
Do I want it to be real?
Tell me how to feel
But I am just a fool
Tell me what is cool

Supernova
03:47

Space exploded out of the dawn
No questions asked, we carry on
We wait until the answer arrives
It never does and we say goodbye
Another place in time and beyond
You think you think you’ve got it grasped but time will abscond
Descent into clay, permanent wave, counting your days
Into the next supernova
Rupture in time and space
Melt Green cheese all over the place
The moon below,
high as I’ll go
Here and gone with out a trace
Reach out to grab a bit
Choose wisely, that’s all you get
Here and gone and come and pass in the bye and bye
Here and gone in the blink of an eye
One day the sun’ll explode in the sky
We can only wonder why
While we wait for the story to be over
Into the next supernova

So close I can almost feel you there
Almost, It’s hanging in the air
These things are right outside inside my mind
Rewind, replay and remind
There you are in a glass case
There you are right in front of my face
Mellotron and a tape delay
These were the things you’d actually play
To get so close you can feel it
Tiger and wolf, I am near it
Those logs are the real thing
Even in the silence the memories ring
They played my favorite songs
I always play along
I can do the things I do
All because of you
Oh so close, it's a fucked-up Frankenstrat
I can finger tap all because of that
My first guitar was a Washburn painted white
Because of what Jimi played that night
Ringo taught me to count to four
I have the same pedals as Tom Morello on the floor
Whammy pedal and Page’s fire pants
Taught me to play, to sing, to jam, and dance
Encased in glass are these legend tools
Relic'd necks and onboard effects loops
Amassed right here for all to look upon
