Fairytale Mind
Home to a little handsome boy
best of friends, in a hundred acre wood
Dancing fairies, with eyes of glass
Shoelace dragging, not a thought of looking back
Hold my hand
I won’t be leavin’
I can’t sleep
It’s just a dream
Hilltop stories, in the dead of night
Never sleep past the ventures we have left
Bright red trolley and a kind old face
Tell me something and I never thought the same
Hold my hand
It’s make believing
Take a chance
My love keep breathing
Dear old Peter how much you’ve grown
Time has come, now you really must go home
Midnight Wishes
In the park where
Where we saw our love begin
And saw where it would end
In the backyard
We didn't miss what time we spent
’Till time was all it meant
We see what we see
We know what we know
We feel what we feel
We say what we say
Because our dreams are only made of our loves and fears
Just tell me what you're thinking
What you're feeling too
Because you've buried all my bridges to you
Dirt
We were born to play in the mire and mess
Knocking down our towers just to build them up again
Raking up the leaves with wild cries we dance in them
Courage to a leap before we think of sink or swim
Pain is all we ever had to teach us how to live
Kindness wasn’t hard till we’re taught how to hate
No, kindness wasn’t hard till we learned to hate
Bounding down the stairs to see the magic of the morn
Press our face up to the glass to see who’s at the door
Watching the clouds tell stories of their travels across the earth
Convinced that every corner is adventure yet in store
Close your eyes, believe your there
Cast aside all your worries and your cares
Think about the wonder that you’re here
Breathe in and out, breath in and out, the moment’s yours to be
Feel your breath, yes you’re still alive
Take a step, I bet you’ll be surprised
Take a chance, I dare you to feel alive
Tidens Tand (The Tooth of Time)
I can’t be sleeping here tonight
Silhouette like black smoke
Running up my spine
The dead streets of fallen leaves
Go without saying,
Two strokes till the midnight hour
And my oh my,
How close we’ve grown
Who’s the one you’ve come to know
And my oh my,
It’s not trivial
Who my heart’s come to know
The candles are burning past the sides
Dissonance and desire filling up my mind
Long drinks and countless feats
to keep believing
that time preys on all but us
Oh that time preys on all but love
And my oh my,
How close we’ve come
to finding love, and making homes
And my, oh my
Our time is short
but who is strong enough to know
Lost Inside
Growing up small, getting lost inside
Lost my head and I lost my feet
Doing what’s right, just to stay alive
I lost my heart and I lost my fire
If only I knew
If only I could see
That life’s moving faster than I dare believe
Given (Giving) what’s left
Made it hard to breathe
But courage is not just the lack of fear

Thank you….
There’s a billion people I could thank, everyone from my piano teacher, Alicia Wedertz, way back in the day to my guitar teacher Steve Harris, to any number of random interactions I’ve had with friends & strangers. People shape who I am. Everyone has been my teacher in some way, shape or form. Here’s a few of many, that have invested incredible amounts of time and support into this album and myself:
Family - Your love, support, & patience astounds me everyday. A gift of infinite proportions.
Conor O’Toole - Your drive, focus, & friendship have inspired me to be greater than what I perceived I could be.
Jeff & Michelle Miller - Your generosity, encouragement, & enthusiasm drove me further than you know.
Sam Brown - Your creativity, genius, & genuine love for people took everything to the next level.
Josh & Denise Boyer - Your empathy, open ear, & pure heart met me in my dirt.
David Tofilon - Your lust for life, pursuit of beauty, & infinite vision made me believe bigger things.
Jeff Myers - Your hidden craft is how deeply you love people. Thanks for letting me be one of those people.
Seth Abram - Your wisdom, encouragement, & belief in what I don’t lack, is life - changing.
Monday Musings - Thanks for being a safe place to show my dirt.
Jeremy Byng - Your time, knowledge, and investment made so much of this possible.
To all my friends, past & present, I wish I could give you all the credit you’re due but instead let’s just make more memories. Love you all.
In Loving Memory of Beverly Perry. You are infinitely loved & daily missed.
