I like to go where ever my heart tells me. Travel. My roots are in Michigan, but I've branched to Illinois, Arizona, and recently the Portland Oregon area. I play guitar and write songs. I also enjoy putting a spin on words. I hope you enjoy as well.
It's easier to take off your clothes than it is your skin. We all are afraid to let people in. While you're knocking at my ribcage, my head tells me no, your heart can't be hurt again. So while my mind is running away, my body seems to stay. Laying there hoping my fear will fly away . It controls me like a wild bird in a cage. I could break free. But I just runaway. When it comes down to it, You've never really seen me naked anyways.

Naked.
I need a distraction to delay my reactions. If I could explain it to you in fractions, I would. Addition. Subtraction. We're just an equation that couldn't happen. I was less than You were greater than I ever could be You're in a different division. But I just multiply the visions. A mathematician couldn't solve me.

Bad math.
Some empty spaces never fill up You could never keep me You could never keep up And I could feel it heating up A rhythm of bad luck. I always speak in metaphors So keep your ear to the floor And when the door finally closed I left you in your graveyard Were the graves of our memories decompose. A ghost. A lost boy looking for home.  I'll leave you in your catacomb, I just know how you get off on feeling alone.

Some nights I forget to sleep. Keeping secrets in my teeth. I'm neck deep in thoughts of you. Drowning in words. Great Lake blues. You can't dig up whats dead. So from Huron out I'll bury you in my head. Kept secrets in sheets of my bed. Moved out to where roses are red. Midwest Northwest. My compass is ever changing. Im unsure I will ever settle. The girl that always keeps you waiting.
