For The Love Of God!

God was born on Easter but he died on Christmas morning
On the day this hit me, Santa didn’t bring me a damn thing
People gathered round and they were rapt in adulation
As I made my last confession to the empty pews beneath
Support was in the shadows
As the light hung from the gallows
And breadcrumbs fed the bunnies at the keep
In the house of milk and honey
Jokes they make just ain’t that funny
Judgement is the punch line of the weak
Sometimes disappearing is just another way of saying we’re exhausted but we’re trying
So please give us a damn break
If you feel what we’ve given ain’t a way to make a living
Just ignore us, let us fade away
And then we’ll go to sleep
Let the earth become our pillows
And our headboard a great willow
Our blanket be the fresh dew covered peat
We will linger in the lilies
Though our song will reach the valley
As we whisper from the highest mountain peak

Four Stones

Four stones underneath the pale blue sky
These bones may they last forever
Cast all to the river’s raging life
So cold though it’s feeling better
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
These tones fill the cracks inside the heart
I know they won’t last forever
Cast all to the river’s raging life
So cold but it makes you stronger
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I don’t wanna give away my soul
I don’t wanna face the weather
I know that I haven’t got a choice
I know that it’s now or never

The Balloon Song

She caught my hand as I fell for her
And she gave me a balloon
And we floated up in the atmosphere
And we wont be landing soon
And the world's so small
As I gaze on down below
And I wish that I
Had half a mind
To say what i now know
The agony deep inside of me
Was waiting to explode
And it left me here with a useless string
But I'm never letting go
And the world's ablaze
As we fall down from above
And I wish that I
Had half a heart
To see that this is love
We clasp our hands
Just to keep from making fists
Our voices raise
Though we try hard to resist
When arguments bring apologies
They begin to prove what's real
Cuz the oceans and the heavens
Are much more than what we fear
Such heights and depths
Oh and nothing's what it seems
But I wish that I
Had half a life
To spend in both extremes
Just half a life
To spend in both extremes

And we floated up in the atmosphere
And we floated up in the atmosphere
And we floated up
And we floated up
And we float
And we float
And we float
And we float
She gave me a balloon
She gave me a balloon
She gave me a balloon
She gave me a
She gave me a
And we float
And we float
And we float
And we float
And we float

I produced, mixed, and mastered this debut album for Junior Gemini out of Detroit. We had a great time making this record and I know you'll dig it. Check it out!

This is the band that I started with Leona CW. It's a very different direction than my solo material, but I think you'll dig it. This is one of our singles, including a bonus track.
