I've wanted to write something more "electronic" for a while. Since my wrist was still giving me problems today, I figured now was as good of a time as any to get away from the guitars.

I know questions are never easy
and answers will come harder still
So please pardon me on this inquiry
its just this thing that I don't know

Please share with me this day of game playing
We could pretend we know our place
I had such a good time, I hope you did too
Thank you Thank you Thank you

Why can't this happen?

We could be trees and we could plant out roots
stretch up until we reach the sky
Our colors change together beautifully
And when I fall you could be there to hear

Why can't this happen?
Why can't this happen?

And I finally found that life goes on without you

And my world still turns when you're not around

Is this the way you want it?
Is this the way it has to be?
Sitting here beside you
But my heart's lost in New Orleans
Dreams come clever
Hearts now severed
Difference of forever
And I am lost there

Come and go now as you please
Your actions write the melodies
To the songs that we sing
And you just sing along out loud


Its cold out. It just reached about an hour ago. I respond by wearing heavier socks. This seems like it would be a good idea, but the problem is, I'm only outside for about an hour total on the day. The rest of the time I'm at work or home (or otherwise inside). So my feet stay warm while I'm outside, but them I get inside and they are too warm. This is the biggest downside to winter, in my mind.

Blueprints for the Black Market

The End

This isn't necessarily a new song as much as it is a reworking of a previous song. I was never quite satisfied with the old version. I like this one much more.

The End

Let go
of everything
that used to be
let go of all of it
and see what you're missing
You're coming back
altered reality
waiting here for you
is changing everything

Its beautiful
the sky tonight
can't see the stars
but trust they're there
they're watching us
see through the light
this is the end
this is the end

and like
the razor on you're wrist
the ruby red it flows elegantly
and like
a late December day
our words hang with our breath
in the cold air

Its beautiful
the sky tonight
can't see the stars
but trust they're there
they're watching us
see through the light
this is the end
this is the end

not ready to pay
for another fucking mistake
I knew it was a bad idea
but you. . .

Just Collin Music

Song of the Week is done, but I said I would still post songs here occasionally. This is going to be the new heading for them "Just Collin Music". Because these aren't songs I'm playing with any band, they are just me.

A Hell of a Difference

More words just bring on more confusion
Here's a taste that you can't forget
I can still remember your face
from the first day that we met

Settle for a used solution
A sip of wine and your soaking wet
Convince yourself of an illusion
ignore the things you've become instead

and who knew it could come to this?
and who knew it could come?
