Lyrics
I keep searchin' inside my head
I can't remember exactly what you said
You didn't need me
You were only playing along
Playing that same game
It just goes on and on
I keep searchin' inside my mind
I'm a little bit afraid of what I might find
Sometimes I think that
I just don't want to find out
Playing that same game
Is what it's all about
Did I dream this dream or did this dream dream me?
Life as we know it's an impossibility
It's dog eat dog
And no one is free
Wake up Neo
The Red Pill will set you free
I keep searchin' inside my brain
Nothing ever seems to be the same
There's something is missing and I
I don't know where it's gone
Playing that same game
It just goes on and on
Playing that same game
It just goes on and on
Playing that same game
It just goes on and on

Take 9
August 14, 2023
This is an instrumental that I started back in May of this year.
It started with some chords that I strung together just to play something.
And, this is the result.
As usual, I wrote the song, recorded the song and played all the instruments myself.
She Done Told Me
June 8, 2023
Yeah, she done told me...
It's totally made up.
It's about nobody or anything that happened to me.
And that's it.
As usual, I wrote the song, recorded the song and played all the instruments myself.

Momz Song
February 26, 2023
I started writing this song in October and promptly forgot about it.
A few days ago I came across it, completed the lyrics and recorded a demo.
Three days later I completed the studio version of the song.
And this is the final product.
Note: My Mom is 91 years old and has Alzheimer's.
As usual, this was a solo effort.
This is the original demo.
Fallin' Down The Line

This was a fun song to write, record and produce.
It's got guitars, vocals, bass and drums.
And that's it.
