Peekaboo 03:47
lyrics
Peekaboo I see you Hiding in the shadows Howling at the moon I don't quite understand why you have to be this way But I can't stop watching from my hiding place Peekaboo I found you Inside an iron cage Like an animal in a zoo The screaming, crying, cursing, thrashing fits that you display Make the keepers nervous in a sympathetic way You're gone, you're out of sight Adrift in the black of night I came to change your fate But all I have to do is wait Just close my eyes and count to eight... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Peekaboo Peekabee? Peeka-what the fuck is happening to me? I see the world through a million different lenses But the dullness of my senses Incapacitates me Peekaboo I choose you! To help me find the peace of mind I once knew The treasure hunt begins in the same damn place The most amazing race is running through my brain I'm gone, I'm out of sight Adrift in the black of night You came to give me peace To make the waking nightmare cease All you do is count with me 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Peekaboo Same to you I found the meaning in the vision of you Even if I don't believe it, I will be there by your side Just join with me and count in time 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 We're gone, we're out of sight Adrift in the black of night I'll keep the search alive Until we understand the why Of you

Portraits Of Our Lives 06:12
lyrics
Say it ain't so, mama The shadow's gone again To find another roof to share We weren't good enough We weren't good enough But we were all that was there Photographs of moments gone by Silently frozen in time All that remain are portraits of our lives Thought you should know, papa I finally made the grade And, for a moment, you were proud But I've gotta go, son Son, I've gotta go Lost your voice to the clouds Photographs of moments gone by Silently frozen in time All that remain are portraits of our lives Thought you should know, son The whispers came again In the background of a call What do they say, mama? What do they say? Nothing much How's the weather? Take good care Of your betters Stay in school so you can make it All the world is for the taking On and on and on and on On and on and on and on... As we grow old, mama The shadow's gone for good Distant flashes of a dream But I'll be okay, mama Mama, I'm okay But since you asked Thought you should know

The Way Things Are Now 03:37
lyrics
When you left me You broke my heart Never thought I'd have such a rough start Now you've come back More or less But too much time is gone, I confess A lifetime of heartache A moment of truth Another day waiting for you to come through A life I can live without you The way things are now Clear the haze From your eyes Then you'll see the product of your lies That's the choice you made Aren't you glad? Stop pretending that you feel so bad A lifetime of heartache A moment of time We won't live forever But dying seems fine You're finally out of my mind The way things are now You still dote me I tune it out It's too late for you to scream and to shout Now you love me Heh...I suppose Then return to me the time that you stole A lifetime of heartache A moment of tears Can't stop these feelings Of pain and of fear It's hard to believe you're sincere The way things are now The way things are now The way things are now

about

This is my first album release of any kind, and I'm very proud of how it turned out. I've done everything myself, and it was a fantastic learning experience along the way. I hope you enjoy it, share it with your friends, and that it will have some meaning in your life along the way.

Special thanks:
Alice Williams, for the constant encouragement
Lauren Vessio, for the endless inspiration
Ashley Norton, for the idea to do this in the first place!
MBIRD, for giving me confidence
All of the bands I've ever played in, for providing the rich palette that has shaped my music

And finally, thanks to everyone who supports original music; you keep us challenged and hungry for more.
