Leave the Ones who Love You (video)

Leave the ones who love you
Tell yourself they did you wrong
Now you’re drinking in your bedroom
Ceilings come to comfort you they fall on you like song.

Tell yourself they left you
Every single day
Clouds will come haunt you and pull you away
Ride into the blue now. Ride it all away.
Cause you change your mind to make it all okay.

I remember you now
Seemed like we were one
Wrap myself in your arms and your skin, I’m done
I remember you now. Every single day.
And you’ll change your mind to make it all okay.

Follow the things that lie
Follow the things that change
Follow the ways that times flows slowly into lines.

Cut from an easy time
Cut from an easy strain
Cut from the way that time flows slowly
Slowly drifting into lies.

Thinking of your body
Wasn’t even that
Clouds will come to haunt you and cover you flat.

Only wanted something
You couldn’t even try
Reach for clouds to warn you, they turn you goodbye.

Follow the things that lie
Follow the things that change
Follow the ways that times flows slowly into lines.

Cut from an easy time
Cut from an easy strain
Cut from the way that time flows slowly
Slowly drifting into lies.

No More Tears

Try, try open your eyes, but its my head- no… where am I ?
days, months, seconds, years, I told myself no more tears.

I always use the words that drive him away
sometimes I don’t know what I mean to say I
try to clear my head, slipping like sand…
I can’t lose one more man.

First you’ll go cold and then you’ll open the door
but could you stay and please don’t leave?
You run around and still I’m chasing you down
as though there’s something that I need.

I know I drove you away I turned you cold
cause I was talking all of the time.
Trying to hold too many things in my head
to make me seem right inside the mind.

Try, try, I won’t cry, just look into the air and you will
find something inside your mind to distract you from what you feel.

I know that I was wrong chasing him round
that’s why his shoulders turn away from me now.
Try to search my mind to find a way
but words and words are all I say

hello blanket over me, pull me down I can’t breath
hello room, hello pink, pull me down I can’t think

First he’ll go cold and then he’ll open the door
because he hates me on my knees.
I’ll grab his arm again oh please understand
sometimes I don’t know what I mean!

I’ll grab his arm again oh please understand
I think its broken in my mind!
But he goes crazy on me when I beg and then
I’m not supposed to cry.

Try, try open your eyes, but its my head- no… where am I ?
Days, months, seconds, years, I told myself no more tears.

Ride You

 

I wrote this song while living in L.A, soon after I started playing guitar and singing. While writing it, I was visualizing a pink triangle riding a green rectangle into outer space. Maybe it is a song about feeling intimidated moving through a sphere (the music scene) where everyone else had far more skill and experience than me, but where I still felt I had something to offer.Painting, acrylic on canvas. Garth Brooks with wings on his horse. Red horse and pink polka dot shirt.

After performing this, a male friend of mine was driving me home and took off his shirt so I could “feel his arms. ” Gross. In real life, I have no urge to touch miscellaneous arms. In dreams though, nakedness symbolizes vulnerability and the exposure of one’s true self.

Sometimes skill is a form of clothing- with enough skill a person can seem very intelligent saying nothing.
