Flowers 02:20
damn flowers never grow, reaching for the light struggle to survive and in the end choked out spill your guts then open up your cup and let the rain fall let the rain fall in drink your fill then come what will let the growing season begin, let the season begin damn flowers never grow, reaching for the light struggle to survive and in the choked out save a prayer you know you never cared for moderation it's all about temptation the choir sings an extra hymn you hope their tune will get you in oh-oh-oh salvation damn flowers never grow, reaching for the light struggle to survive and in the end choked out

I am a great sleeper oh how I wish it were a sport I am is a great sleeper and my bed it is is the court with the moon eternal referee aries keeping score 8 hours a night I would spin these dreams oh but that was all before.... you came and changed it all plunged the stars into the ocean blue you came changed it all flung the fish into the sky, blue too north and south and east and west, oh oh are now swapping sides i don't know but if I had to guess i would say you were sent as a sign I am a late bloomer and that's a fact I know for sure so tell me where can i send my donation so they'll find a cure but better late than not at all I say i wouldn't miss this for the world to get to know you more and more each day blueberry grown into a girl

about

Tiny Truths is a collection of songs I wrote in the cracks of time life allowed me to be still, quiet my mind, and create. It's quirky at times, soulful at times, earnest and nothing, if not melodic. I write songs because I don't have a choice. It's a necessary form of creative expression that I'm passionate about - and it's brought about tremendous connection throughout the course of my life and career. Connection with other musicians, connection with audiences, connection with friends.... These are the most true-to-me songs I've written to date and my sincere hope and expectation is that you will find something to connect to here, some tiny truths that we hold in common, and some melodic truths that, fingers crossed, will keep you coming back for more.
