Clementine

Clementine (2017)

In the burning red dreams of a summer haze

My mind was clearly in a daze

I found you so pretty and so fine

Please be mine forever Clementine

We went to England in July

Stars forever lit our flight

Beckoning what dreams may die

I'll hold you with all my might

In the ballroom you would rise and shine

As the music sang its rhyme

Glorious and so divine

Your beauty transcends time

The shots from out in the rain

Grabbed your shoulder you felt no pain

Then you were silent misaligned

In the chaos we both went blind

A long night of shivering fears

You were clinging to life like a tear

All hopes were dashed and died

Two nights gone you're no longer alive

In my mourning I will feel no might

No more love will be in my sight

I'll come visit your grave each time

If you stay mine forever Clementine

Singing Sailors Cover (2017)

There's a river between us now
Some state line borders, some broken towns
Some singing sailors doing what they please
Now I'm down to saying prayers on my knees

I've loved your eyes, your innocence
In the face of bad times and where it wents
There's no wind on this bitter earth
Time and distance claim my blues for what they're worth

I'd call your name when I grew scared
I'd write your home if you were there
I am so broken by losing you
Only life can heal and see me through

When it "rains" I'm all alone,
confused by lonely, headed for home
Some singing sailors doing what they please
Now I'm down to saying prayers on my knees

There's a river between us now
Some state line borders, some broken town
Some singing sailors doing what they please
Now I'm down to saying prayers on my knees
Now I'm down to saying prayers on my knees

Drone Citizen

Drone Citizen (2015)

I toiled for meager wages
For two decade and a half
Finally the blindness took me in
Didn't realize what they've done to my head
Spread disease and laid the blame with me

Your health will be secure, the manager then said
As I ate his lies, destitute and dumb
In agony I pray to a god who is never there
Save the broken shell that I've become

All the drones toil on in the burning sun
The privileged classes look away
Our effort is led on by their pointed guns
Our only real escape from this is death

A decade has passed since machines could think alone
They'd help mankind, their makers proudly said
I shake and shiver in my cold fluorescent home
The room is bare, my savings growing thin

Classified for life as the ones who will die
Working for the privilege of the few
We're desensitized, pupils dyed pure white
Sleep dreamless, conquered by the truth

I listen to the rain and the telecast machine
The agents talk of wars in distant lands
I weep for the end of my family's proud tree
Sterilized, by the higher classes hand

Swept away in pain, I am trembling
Wishing for my consciousness to cease
Shattered dreams all die, hope is crucified
Emotions numbed, yet I remember grief
