The Truth

you can listen to it here

I like to write and record at the same time. The songs have an energy to them that is hard to re-create on subsequent recording attempts.I've included a verse that is not in the recording just because... If I ever get around to re-recording this song, it might make it into the final mix. Max sings with me...and he'll be on the final mix too.

(because) songs will be written
and poems must be read
listen very closely
to the words unsaid

tired of the pretense
weary of it all
here's the truth

put me on a bookshelf
six feet high
stare out the window
watching the planes
I gave up wanting
to fix anything

windows close
when you walk into the room
what you don't know
will never hurt you

put me on a bookshelf
six feet high
stare out the window
watching the planes
I gave up wanting
to fix anything
