Curiosity in Corners
02:56

Daryl got the motor
A beat up 78
Drove it up and down main street
Proud of his personalised
License plate
He’d had a journey
In the back of his head
Since he was old enough to know he wasn’t staying
And any leads he had were dead
Set your sites on the horizon
Somewhere you’ve never seen
Curiosity in corners
And everywhere in between
Don’t want to be a tourist
Try to blend in
But they know you’re not from round here
And you are uncomfortable in your own skin
What if he stayed here
That small house is up for sale
He could change his name and his appearance
What he had now was growing stale
What if he ran for office
Change in our time
Could he commit to the next few years
Or he could commit a crime
And set his sites on the horizon
Next stop somewhere he’s never seen
Got curiosity in corners
And everywhere in between
He’s no longer a tourist
But he’s never at home
Just another piece of road debris
All part of the wandering syndrome

Without Them
04:14

Take the afternoon
Try and get your rest
Don’t think about the difference
Between the needles and the nest
We’ve looked around the neighbourhood
You seem to handle this the best
Hiding in the folds of curtains
Wait to feel the seasons change
Take stock of what you put away
Stick to a plan of action detailing
When to work and when to play
You’ve been counting coins
And checking mirrors for decay
Tiptoeing through a garden full of serpents
It’s a capital idea
To remove all that you fear
and let the others not come near
Despite getting nothing done
Without them
Abandoning the pier
And all that you hold dear
In hopes it becomes clear
How to get along just fine
Without them
Poke around the backwoods
Meeting those who are pressing on
Simple in the understanding
That hard work won’t lead them wrong
And all the changing seasons
Amount to nothing more than one more song
And just another unwelcome disturbance

Dead World
02:58
|

Some things thrive in the dead world
Some things pick up what others discard
Some things beg, borrow and steal
With no thought and no regard
for the others
for the others that fight
Just to see the night
I know where I fit in the dead world
You’ve made that pretty clear
You won’t get much of a fight from me
I feel it leaving with each passing year
As for the others
I hope they feel alright
When they see the night
Nobody runs from themselves in the dead world
It’s been too late now for far too long
You can get used to the silence
To where they say you must belong
Some things emerge in the dead world
Some things that were not there before
Some version maybe but this is a step back
They want to rise up and give them what for
As for the others
Out of mind, out of sight
They hold on to the night

Abstract Form
05:29
|
|||
|
Put pen to paper
Make each other laugh
Put a few aspirations
Into the paragraph
Close out the story
With some words
You’ve been carrying around
In hopes of a second draft
And when they stop you and ask
Did you inspire this
You can say yes and blow them a kiss
Put your hands in the soil
Make new things grow
Give a few moments to
Things that you don’t know
Try to match the colours
Try to please the birds
And carry some seeds
Wherever you go
And when they stop you and ask
Where do you find the time
You can say sorry, gotta go, I’m already behind
It’s funny what we’re afraid of
And what beauty drags us in
It’s neither one or the other
But a unique collection of things
Put yourself in the kitchen
Cook up a storm
You live somewhere between precision
And an abstract form
Whatever reveals itself
Cut it into thirds
Just assume they know by now
That they have been warned
And when they stop you and ask
Why even try
You can say because if you didn’t you’d die

Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures New Milford, Connecticut
Songwriting and banging your instruments together
The main thing I love to do is write
songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first.
