DAMN MINDS
shine your shoes, shine your shoes
come on, come out - nothing to lose
you’ve been hiding in the dark
cradling your sweet heart
lay your cross, lay your cross
about time you give up your ghosts
you’ve been praying on your knees
for remedy you don’t need
let’s go down to the bar
put it all on my card
dance all night, dance all night
we could leave this weekend
go anywhere but in
we could drive, we could drive
till we’re out of our damn minds
there’s love, yes! there’s love
sail on babe, you haven’t held enough
you’ve been fighting through the tide
trying to reach sunlight
let’s go down to the park
find ourselves in the dark
dance all night, dance all night
we could leave this weekend
go anywhere but in
we could drive, we could drive
till we’re out of our damn minds
I’m out of my damn mind
there’s a life we all pray for
what are you waiting for
it’s pounding, calling on you
to walk through that door
walk through that door
walk through that door
let’s go down to the bar
put it all on my card
dance all night, dance all night
we could leave this weekend
go anywhere but in
we could drive, we could drive
let’s go down to the park
find ourselves in the dark
dance all night, dance all night
we could leave this weekend
go anywhere but in
we could drive, we could drive
till we’re out of our damn minds
I’m out of my damn mind
WILDFIRE
he has love to give
every drop spills out
you spit it back at him
trying to burn it down
he gives you chance after chance
your head’s too big for his crown
you left him in the dance
another go around
never gonna get back what you let go
you were standing too close
to the wildfire, wildfire
never felt that kind of out of control
fading into the smoke
of a wildfire, wildfire
you wake to silence
his ghost stands on your porch
you struck every match
to settle a score
your arms can’t hold him now
he sails the wings of his storm
you’re left gasping for air
drowning in his warmth
never gonna get back what you let go
you were standing too close
to the wildfire, wildfire
never felt that kind of out of control
fading into the smoke
of a wildfire, wildfire
when that day comes
you know you should run
don’t look over your shoulder
when that day comes
you know he’ll run
it’s all over your shoulders
you should run
never gonna get back what you let go
you were standing too close
to the wildfire, wildfire
never felt that kind of out of control
fading into the smoke
of a wildfire, wildfire
he has love to give
every drop spills out
his heart in pieces
glitter on the ground
QUEEN SIZE
someone falls asleep every night
with a dream of you on their pillow
I know you have to go
I just want you know
toss your cigarette, hug me goodnight
I’ll text you when I get home
play that record, sing that pretty song
that makes the night live on
in this queen size bed
big enough to dream
I’ll never be lonely
in this queen size bed
big enough for me
my one and only
maybe I’ll get my education
seems to be the thing to do
buy a house, cover my tattoos
in oxford blue
if I become a zillionaire
I’ll donate all of my clothes
design a wardrobe fit
for someone new, someone to lay beside
in this queen size bed
big enough to dream
I’ll never be lonely
in this queen size bed
big enough for me
my one and only
no matter who’s on my mind
or how hard I try
it seems I’m still looking for
a cloud to climb
to take me as high
as someone by my side
what botox to the heart
will get me through the night
in this queen size bed
big enough to dream
I’ll never be lonely
in this queen size bed
big enough for me
my one and only
queen size bed
someone falls asleep every night
with a dream of you
PLASTIC JESUS
I grew up in church
for peace of red brick minds
so it seems
that haven crumbled
I’m treading gravel
of a life that was never mine
I am the preachers daughter
look through my eyes
so you see
my feet aren’t nailed
to the conveyer belt
my daddy calls the road to life
my feet are as free as my own mind
why fall on your knees ‘fore a plastic Jesus
cursing and crying
”Lord, we don’t understand”
my fellow men, women
enough of playing defense
time we look inside
of our own eyes
remind us of our forsaken humanity
draw your finger in
try a humble hand
can’t you see
Eden’s snake lies
waiting too strike
spare your fellow lamb
oh God, why should there be a maytr
are we only equal in the garden
oh, has the wine run to your head
you’re taking His tithe for your own bread
why fall on your knees ‘fore a plastic Jesus
cursing and crying
”Lord, we don’t understand”
my fellow men, women
enough of playing defense
time we look inside
of our own eyes
remind us of our forsaken humanity
neighbors, siblings, elders!
why do we treat each other like criminals?
we are not strangers
do we not breathe the same air?
do we not want the same?
to make the most of this beautiful melting pot
we call life
it is not blood that makes us family!
not color, not shape!
it is love! it is love
it is love that transcends
if you cannot love yourself
how the hell you gonna love another
we can create heaven among us
let us left up one another
with love!
why fall on your knees ‘fore a plastic Jesus
cursing and crying
”Lord, we don’t understand”
my fellow men, women
enough of playing defense
time we look inside
of our own eyes
remind us of our forsaken humanity
FRONT DOOR
driving down the backroad to the interstate
star light tunnel, conversation on replay
hold on, will you rest upon our reveries
last call, don’t forsake the best of me
will you be
waiting for me
will you be
by the front door
when I make it home
I need a little lovin’
when I make it home
I need
light up, I can’t believe the toll of distance
whirlwind, I can hardly catch my breath
year gone, I’m out of sync, I have no song to sing
between who I’ve been and who I’ll be
will you be
waiting for me
will you be
by the front door
when I make it home
I need a little lovin’
when I make it home
I need, I need love
driving, I’ve been driving down this road for miles
wildflowers, picture perfect smiles
goodbye, I shed my youth upon my return
glory in my new skin come Easter morning
I will be
waiting for you
I will be
by the front door
when I make it home
I need a little lovin’
when I make it home
I need your love
will you be
waiting for me
will you be
by the front door
when I make it home
I need a little lovin’
when I make it home
I need, I need love
I need your love
