People say that when you see a butterfly that it is actually someone you love who has passed on coming to see how you fare in this life. Butterflies provide beauty and hope for those who see them. They always seem to be just out of reach, just beyond what we can hold in our grasp. However, once in a while, if we are lucky, we can hold one for just a moment & it makes our lives that much more beautiful with its presence. Chasing Butterflies the album will be yours on 8/4/23
By the cliffs and the raging sea
There she waits only for me
I’ll find her when the sun is low
When the flash of green releases her soul
Till the moon turns red
…I would wait for her
Till the trees all bled
...I would wait for her
Till we wake the dead
...I’ll be waiting here for her
By the cliffs and the raging sea
I’ll keep my watch vigilantly
Till once again, we two shall meet
I’ll wait for her on bended knee
Till the moon turns red
…I would wait for her
Till the trees all bled
...I would wait for her
Till we wake the dead
...I’ll be waiting here for her
Between the moon and you I never stood a chance,
When you looked in my eyes and asked me to dance.
With the stars shining bright against the satin sky,
We were just two hearts beating right in time.
I think I’m falling for you
Under the flower moon
You make me feel brand new
Under the flower moon
I hope you feel this too
Under the pale flower moon
We were just two lost souls living on borrowed time
Then our love took root, blossomed and thrived
We danced away our loneliness and pain
Until we revived, whole again
I think I’m falling for you
Under the flower moon
You make me feel brand new
Under the flower moon
I hope you feel this too
Under this pale flower moon
Dance with me under the stars
Doesn't matter where we are
Whether here or near or far
I'd dance with you all the way to mars
I think I’m falling for you
Under the flower moon
You make me feel brand new
Under the flower moon
I hope you feel this too
Under this pale flower moon
The vultures circle high
They know I’m dead inside
Revive Me, Revive Me.
Your silhouette, the setting sun
Hearts beat fast, I take the plunge
Revive Me, Revive Me.
No I won’t back down,
No I can’t go now,
You’ve smiled and turned me
Inside out, Inside out.
The calm of your embrace
I’ll never leave this place
Revive me, revive me.
Your eyes pierce through my soul,
I’m scared but you don't bolt
Revive Me, Revive Me.
No I won’t back down,
No I can’t go now,
You’ve smiled and turned me
Inside out, Inside out..
What will our future hold?
I’ll love you till I’m old
You revived me, revived me.
No I won’t back down,
No I can’t go now,
You’ve smiled and turned me
Inside out, Inside out.
I’m revived, back to life.
I've got miles on my soul
But when i’m with you
I don’t feel so old
You make me feel brand new
I’m best when i’m with you
We passed our shadows in the fading light
Stayed up all night till the sky was bright
we laughed and talked till the day was new
Watched the sun rise on the morning dew
I’ve got worries on my mind
But when i’m with you
I can unwind
You make me feel brand new
I’m best when I’m with you
We passed our shadows in the fading light
Stayed up all night till the sky was bright
we laughed and talked till the day was new
Watched the sun rise on the morning dew
Time flies by when you're around
You make me smile without a sound
When I was lost -
you said I was found.
We passed our shadows in the fading light
Stayed up all night till the sky was bright
we laughed and talked till the day was new
Watched the sun rise on the morning dew
Her hair is black - as dark as sin
Her lips a deep merlot
Her soft green eyes invite me in
And I just have to go
She’s a temptress-
And I’m tempted,
Man, She gets it,
I’m fuckin tempted,
Temptress-
And I love it,
How she does it,
I really love it.
Her skin is pale, a pearly white
Her voice as rough as the sea
As she says to me under moonlight
“Nothing Comes for Free”
She’s a temptress-
And I’m tempted,
Man, She gets it,
I’m fuckin tempted,
Tempress-
And I love it,
How she does it,
I really love it.
I’d sell my soul, renounce my name
Pack up and leave my life behind
For nothing would ever be the same
Without her by my side
She’s a temptress-
And I’m tempted,
Man, She gets it,
I’m fuckin tempted,
Tempress-
And I love it,
How she does it,
I really love it.
Standing in the dark - I almost see you
The pain still sharp - Where once there were two
All that’s left is dust and bones
The hollow emptiness that used to be home
There’s no fixing what we broke
I’ve lost you to shadow
I see you through the wind & rain
I can’t be near when you get this way
What once was love is now just shame
You used to be the spark inside my veins
You say you see me but you don't
you left me here all on my own
empty hearts in an empty home
it's all gone up in smoke
Now I'm here alone
there's no fixing what we broke
And there's no coming home
I see you through the wind & rain
I can’t be near when you get this way
What once was love is now just shame
You used to be the spark inside my veins
I see you through the wind & rain
I can’t be near when you get this way
What once was love is now just shame
You used to be the spark inside my veins
I'm right here
You’re not here
I'll dry your tears
I don’t have any tears for you
Nothing to fear
Nothing but fear
When I'm right here
Get away from here
I see you through the wind & rain
I can’t be near when you get this way
What once was love is now just shame
You used to be the spark inside my veins
Its 1:17 I can't get to sleep
My brain tells me it's not that deep
Do they even like me or is it all just fake?
Will the voice in my head ever go away?
Will everything really turn out?
Should I just quit right now?
I don't know my own thoughts
Can't control my own mind
When I look in the mirror
I just want to hide but
A voice from deep down
Inside says don’t hold back
I have nothing to hide
It’s 5 am and I still can’t sleep
Doesn’t matter if they say that I’m weak
Don't disappoint them all
You gotta make that call
Make sure they don't see you fall
It took the dark to find out
Now the lost can be found
Gotta keep it steady
Gotta keep it real
I see the look in your eye
You know how I feel
Gotta keep it steady
Gotta keep it real
I see the look in your eye
You know how i feel
I don't know my own thoughts
Can't control my own mind
When i look in the mirror
I just want to hide but
A voice from deep down
Inside says don’t hold back
I have nothing to hide
These old bones sing
They tell us a story
Of all of the lives that lived before me
The crack in the window
The water spot ceiling
The creaking old floor
It gives me strange feelings
Your presence surrounds us
You still live inside
We follow your light
And when we grow old and fade away
Your lessons live on in those who stay
These old bones sing
They tell us a story
Of all those that have passed before me
The rock in the garden
The rusty door handle
The vines on the wall,
The flickering candle
Your presence surrounds us
You still live inside
We follow your light
And when we grow old and fade away
Your lessons live on in those who stay
Your presence surrounds us - You still live inside
We follow your light
And when we grow old and fade away
Your lessons live on in those who stay
I saw this coming from 100 miles away
The end we always knew would come one day
But it's still harder than my heart can take
You've changed me
Wanna be thankful that I have you to miss
How can I be thankful when it feels like this
I wanna be happy you're moving on
I've never known friendships so strong
I saw this coming from 100 miles away
I know you're only just a call away
But it's still harder than my heart can take
You've changed me
I know that this is for the best
It doesn't stop the cracking in my chest
I know the sun will still shine
I'd be lying if I said I was fine
I saw this coming from 100 miles away
The end we always knew would come someday
But I'm not ready for the final take
You've changed me
You taught me love is only love when the heart has choice,
You taught me to speak loud and to raise my voice,
You showed me everything I could be and more
Then I had to watch you walk out the door
I saw this coming from 100 miles away
The end we knew would always come some day
But now that day is here, that day's today
And you've changed me
I’m still waiting for my bright idea
It hasn’t really come by yet
I’m sure it's on its way right now
darlin’ don’t you fret
It seems like everybody else is a genius
These guys all say they got it made,
While I’m stuck playing basement venues
-not even getting paid.
Oh well- that’s fine
waiting for my train & it passed right by
all their stars are shining bright
I’ll sit here and watch them shine.
I’m still waiting for my big break
It always seems just out of reach
But I won’t let that get me down
got good views on the street
Everybody else thinks they're a genius
They still think they got it made,
And I’ll play my basement venue
Life’s worth more than getting paid.
Oh well- that’s fine
I was waiting for my train but it passed me by
While all their stars are shining bright
I’ll sit here and watch the sky.
might collapse in on myself like a dying star
But darling it’ll be beautiful
I’ll shine like glitter, I’ll light up the sky
With my last dying breath I’ll show you the light.
Strung high and on fire for the world to see
On the front lines is where you'll find me
All it takes is one small spark
For the fire to spread and light up the dark
I might not live to see another sunrise
But light will dawn in the east again
I’ll go out in glory, I’ll light up the dark
With my last moments here I’ll leave my mark
Strung high and on fire for the world to see
On the front lines is where my body will be
All it takes is one small spark
For the fire to spread and light up the dark
Endless cities
Endless days
Endless nights
In this endless space
Without a gaze upon your face
I can't go on I can't escape
I’ll live in the dark to bring you the light
I’ll face all your demons so you don’t cry
I’ll cut my arm so you don’t have to bleed
I’ll fade out of existence if that's what you need
Endless cities
Endless days
Endless nights
In this endless space
Without a gaze upon your face
I can't go on I can't escape
I’ll go up in flames to keep you warm
I’ll battle the winds, keep you safe from the storm
I’ll give you my eyes if you say you can’t see
I’ll be bound in chains if it means you are free
Endless cities
Endless days
Endless nights
In this endless space
Without a gaze upon your face
I can't go on I can't escape
Nothing is lost and nothing is gained
I’ll keep you safe, you keep me sane
Nothing is lost and nothing is gained
You are my saving grace
Endless cities
Endless days
Endless nights
In this endless space
Without a gaze upon your face
I can't go on I can't escape
