The following are just a few of my contributions to the larger mosaic. I have written over 100 lyrics and also develop video concepts.
Seems like I have the world in my hands...
And it ain't
as heavy as
all those things
I used to
carry...
TROPHY
The most elusive and dangerous game
Can such a creature be, even be tamed
And what a shame that would be
If she weren’t wild and free.
At least I’m not the only one
Who can say, who can claim
That they went and lost her
And that doesn’t make it any better.
I know you’re not a trophy
And damn, if they don’t fight over you
For how could you not be?
Cause it seems like you’re keeping score
That you do it for sport
Won’t pass the torch, you just keep running.
Of course I'd like to show you off
Don’t tell me that isn’t what you want
I tire of this game
It makes me feel as if every day
Somebody might take my place.
Baby you’re ruthless
Whispers I’m the only one
Who makes her feel like a woman
But she grows tired of all of my excuses.
Still I'd have to hold you up
High above all of us
As they reached out just for your touch
And that doesn’t make it any better.
I know you’re not a trophy
And damn, if you don’t light up the room
And they’re too blind to see
What you did all this for
That you’re so much more
Than who they make you out to be.
Of course Id like to show you off
Don’t tell me that isn’t what you want
I tire of this game
Oh no, you don’t play fair
So this was all in vain.

Video Concept:
Subject suspended on web surrounded in darkness. Helpless and defeated. Lifts head and begins to sing...
I was drawn to you like some mirage
For though, there I can see it
Everything I wanted
I know that I should stop
Cause odds are it’s a façade.
She was cloaked in her designer silk thread
And yet she seemed so harmless
On her suspicious web
Till you’re her latest catch
I’m all for what happens next.
You spin me around
Doesn’t feel as if I'll ever be coming down
Like it or not, say I’m yours
Sink your teeth in baby while
I’ve some life left in me
Isn’t that what you came for?
To spin me around
And you already know how I’m tightly wound
I have my doubts that you’ll let go
So, sink your teeth in baby while
I’m still barely breathing
Can’t say I’ve done this before…
Oh put me down, yeah put me down, put me down
(8 legs in black fishnets and stiletto heels come from behind the web. The heels
pierce the subject, blood running through his white T-shirt. He holds onto one of them like the bar from a cage. A face slowly emerges
from behind the web and sings the following verse in the subject’s ear, ever so softly…)
Oh, you’re just a boy
Pitiful thing
It's not like I didn’t warn you from the start
Like that holy vicar
After my bleeding heart.
And baby, I'm quite fond of your rhythm
But we both know it has to end
Take it from me
You’re not worth hearing from again.

You spin me around
Doesn’t feel as if I'll ever be coming down
Like it or not, I think I’m yours
So, sink your teeth in baby while
I’ve some life left in me
Isn’t that what you came for?
To spin me around
And you already know how I’m tightly wound
I have my doubts that you’ll let go
So, sink your teeth in baby while
I’m still barely breathing
Can’t say I’ve done this before
Put me down, yeah put me down, put me down.
HAND ME DOWNS
The very thought of you
Why, it’d ricochet like a bullet in my head
So easily replaced
Oh, why’d you leave me for dead?
To everyone’s surprise
I came back as something else
And if the service matched the bill
I’m sure time will tell...
That’s when you cut my strings
Now, you don’t want to be tied up with me
And why would you be?
When you size me up like some empty suit
Just look at me now
What does that make you?
Now there's nothing left to say
You brought it out of me in a dark room
When you’re so exposed, Don’t know what to do
They so often whisper... let me tell you..
Have a good look baby
Everything you see here, was all by my design
I had to take the time to break it in
Staring in the mirror
Till it felt just right…for me
Goodbye…Yeah, you’re so last season babe
And my tastes have changed.
Some things just don’t go well together
Whose to say you aren’t a beauty there when you stand alone
I'm just behind the scenes, speechless over your pose.
I know this might be in poor taste
But I think our love arrived fashionably late
She kept her Hand Me Downs
And won't be another mannequin on your display.
No, there’s nothing left to say
You brought it out of me in a dark room
When you’re so exposed, don’t know what to do
They so often whisper... let me tell you
Have a good look baby
Everything you see here, was all by my design
I had to take the time to break it in
Staring in the mirror
Till I felt just right…For me

DEAD MAN WALKING
I’m in the pursuit of happiness
But if you ask me, its more like die trying.
Let’s say you find it, don’t you dare let go
You have to do everything, you can
Just so it won’t…
Disappear…
Slip away…
It only takes one day
For your whole world to change.
So beware…Don’t make my mistake
And take her for granted
Or you’ll end up like me
A Dead Man Walking.
Before I ever rotted in a casket
Or was burnt to ashes
I climbed from the grave
I had dug for myself
With my fingers and nails
I ascended from the depths of hell.
I disappeared…
Slipped away…
It only takes one day
For your whole world to change.
So beware…Don’t make my mistake
And take her for granted
Or you’ll end up like me
A Dead Man Walking.
