a long time since last time....

hello friends!

here are a few new posts for you to keep your bellies full. i've been writing more than the pen can handle lately and would love to get some tidbits off to all of you for the fun of it. it has been far too long...so do enjoy the new posts below.

all is well in melbourne post-tour/pre-tour. the city groove is comfy but will be short-lived as the lovely landscapes of new zealand await the april tour with april maze! the past few months have been gig-filled and fun-filled, to say the least. i do truly love this city. it is like no other. to leave it all seems like the silliest idea. but to ignore the next has a sillier ring to it, i suppose. besides, this island isn't sinking yet, is it? i can always turn this ship around...

i will leave you with these two underneath and lay me down to sleep for the night...

so much more to come...

it's not that i don't know it

it’s not that i don’t know it
got my shoes all tied up for it
it’s not that i’m trying to hide behind
or fade away into the next day
fill me fill me, feel me say it
i’m a brick of walls now you come spray it
Over me

it’s not that i don’t know it
crossed the fences just to mow it
it’s not that i’m trying to justify
the reasons i don’t feel i own it
pull me pull me, poll my credit
i’m the first draft now you come edit
all of me

oh, you don’t look me in the eye
when you’re talking to me
oh, how you look up at the sky
when you’re thinking about it
oh, if you’d hold me like you want to
then I’d want you, too.

it’s not that i don’t know it
wrote the words down like a poet
it’s not that i’m trying to to deny
the feelings i can’t seem to finish
tell me tell me, toil me in it
you be the end and i’ll begin it
new to me

it’s not that i don’t know it
changed the pictures just to frame it
it’s not that i’m trying to realize
through tired eyes that i’m too good for it
spoil me spoil me, spin me through it
i’m a pool of dreams now you sift through it
Carefully

trust

when all else fails only i’ll remain.
again and again and again and again…
right here where i’ve stood, split-lipped just the same.

i tried to shrink my heart for you.
wore it thin wore it thin wore it thin wore it thin…
but i’m weak now, so cold, out here on this limb.

i tried turning the page but it all reads the same.
who’s to blame who’s to blame who’s to blame who’s to blame…
same bloody history. i see both of our names.


where’s the harness i’ve been blessed with?
at home, far away.
it kept me still, snagged my running,
but safe, there to stay.
narrowed eyes focused lightly on the truth,
always there.
every word like a root, meant deep,
always bare.


i will trust.
because i must.
it’s the only way I can.
i will survive it.
i will deny it.
but i may have to leave again.
