Special 03:38
You're so cool and beautiful, am I your clown? If I tied my shoes and made a move would you slap me down? You're so there and I'm so nowhere. If you catch my stare, I'm not just dreaming. *I don't want to know you. I don't want a special thing. I don't want to be your friend. I need to be your everything. When you walk in, I start to spin, you make me dizzy. If I fell down, was on the ground, could you keep from laughing? If I was there, could you be with me? * I don't want to hang out, I don't want a pen pal. I need to be your everything.

Broken Wing 03:33
Your lips, your face, this angel moves me. Your heart, your blood it rushes through me. I feel you and I feel your anger. I want you and I want the danger. If you reach out your hand I'll take you in - crippled wing, broken sweet thing Your breath, like wine - I can taste the heaves breeze. Our love with time, could turn the sands to seas. I feel you and I feel your anger. I want you and I want the dangers. If you reach out your hand I'll take you in - crippled wing, broken sweet thing

If I had a ladder could I deserve you? I'm like an oyster in a pearl, this is your beauty. It pins me down. Like a trap caught in a rat that's me and it's all I'll ever be. * When you're down I'm down too. When you smile I smile too. Every time you walk away I hope you don't come back because I don't want to want you. I don't want to miss you. I don't want to need you. I don't want to want you. While your moon is waiting, I'm not avoiding you, I'm stepping my watch. That's what I do, to catch your every move. The thin is ice that I'm stepping on. It's a familiar song. * We'll never be two pods in a pea, or force a tree back into the seed. Now is the best time for you to leave and take your memory with you. *

Gave You Up 05:01
G is for all of the games made I never really learned to play V is for vulnerable and viscous in vain E is for every day, I gave you up T is for the time I wouldn't wait A is for accidents and after and always K is the knowing that I fucked up E is for every day I gave you up There's nothing left that I could give you, there's nothing left that I could do. You don;t have to say you're sorry. You gave up too. L is for learning to sleep alone O is for the only thing I've ever known V is for the victory that came E is for the emptiness that won't fill up again, since I gave you up

Spit Me Out 04:21
doot-doot-doo I'll take the reins and ride away unless you want the horse to stay. I see it build your confidence when I ask you for one more chance. These little things like wedding rings are hardly worth your very precious time. * You won't whisper you won't shout. I'll never know what you're about. My taste is bitter, spit me out. Spit me out. I told myself I'd find the one who'd walk with me and wouldn't run. I won't lie, I'm fucked inside and you just smile and wave goodbye. Our memories are stuck in picture-books for someone else to throw away. * doot-doot-doo When I think back on all of the laughs that somehow made it in the trash, I'm glad it's me who feels this way so you can, have a nice day. *

about

In 2000, I consulted my manager and booking agent at the time to chose these 5 demos for solicitation to record labels and venues. It was a meaningful time for all of us.

about

choker California

In those two and a half years, 1999 to 2002, I wrote 33 Choker songs and have demo recordings of 21 of them. I would absolutely consider writing more and recording them properly.
