The Movie We Made
It’s the movie we made Without filming it to be shown It was just for ourselves It was for us alone It’s the movie we made It oftentimes in my mind It’s a past I can’t shake Or even get behind It’s the people I left It’s the ones who left me It’s the regrets […]

Back to Seascape

When Daddy’s Drunk
Don’t be provoking him When Daddy’s drunk You shouldn’t be courageous Unless you want your heart sunk I’ve seen him choke Mama And he’s hit me hard a few times He’s been on the Evening News For committing violent crimes He’s done time in the jailhouse But we don’t talk of it these days I […]
