Right Time 03:17
RIGHT TIME I wait for the right time, I wait til the coast is clear I wait for the right words, for the truth to whisper in my ear I'll wait like a candle flame, burning out, gasping for air I wait for the right time I'll wait right here There's one thing left in this world, one thing I can control Now that I know what it is I won't ever let it go I may never gain (NO ONE) but at least I won't see them go I've made that mistake So many times before Many times before I'll wait for tomorrow, Gonna hide out from today I'll turn off the tv, put my cellular phone away Man I can be stubborn, don't dare try to stand in my way I'll gut this out like the East coast stares down a hurricane There's one thing left in this world, one thing I can control Now that I know what it is I ain't gonna ever let go I may never gain (NO ONE) but I'll never have see them go I've made that mistake before So many times before Many times before

when daylight comes on the morning after ....do you dry your eyes do the walls still shake on the morning after ....is the sky on fire was it you that made it clear that sometimes we don’t have to grow tired of love for love to grow tired of us the days just wear us down the shoes wore circles into the ground leaving a hole we couldn’t fill follow the sound just follow the sound follow the sound of your wounded heart (cause it’s a start) Is there still a chance on the morning after ...or do you need time does your heart still ache on the morning after ... we said goodbye was it you that made it clear that sometimes we don’t have to grow tired of love for love to grow tired of us the days just wear us down the shoes wore circles into the ground leaving a hole we couldn’t fill follow the sound just follow the sound follow the sound of your wounded heart (cause it’s a start) yeah, it's a start

Love of Mine 03:57
Love of mine feel no pain I’ll be with you each and every day Though you’re wondering....how though you’re wondering...where are you now Love of mine, I see you hoping that the words between us weren’t left unspoken It might be breaking.... you down But just know/ I can hear everything now Even though It might be pouring down that hard hard rain and even though it might be far too soon to mention my name even though the winds are blowing they always bring a change If they blow through hard enough they might just bring us spring Love of mine, can’t you trust Everything you could, you did, and you did in love but I was broken down and my heart is where it wants to be now

There's always more towns to leave and beds to burn and doubt to feed love cuts glass but it cant hurt me cause I’m like a promise you just can’t keep You say the lines on your face aren't going away and you can only see heaven if you’re going insane Well I had time to burn but you pushed me away no theres nothing worth saving once it’s up in flames once it's up in flames Did you see heaven in my eyes if you did i apologize cause I’m not sure I'd do it justice but can you tell her that I tried You say the lines on your face aren't going away and you can only see heaven if you’re going insane Well I had time to burn but you pushed me away no theres nothing worth saving once it’s up in flames once it's up in flames Since the room you rent is so dirt cheap why don’t you blow out the ceilings let the rains come in And let your mistress from laredo give you what you need a temporary fix, for a temporary fiend You say the lines on your face aren't going away and you can only see heaven if you’re going insane Well I had time to burn but you pushed me away no theres nothing worth saving once it’s up in flames once it's up in flames

Roll On 04:08
roll on, roll on everything you’ve ever touched, is dead and gone but still you roll, you keep rolling, roll on Turn to dirt, turn to dust. everything you’ve ever had has turned to rust but still you roll, you keep rolling, roll on And I think you must have loved him More than I could ever see And you wore his scars like armor though the world could never see Still you roll on, you keep rolling...on Cold hands, stiff limbs Everything you ever had, wrapped up in him and now he’s gone, you keep rolling...roll on gentle voice, simple touch those are the two things that you miss so much butyou roll, you keep rolling, roll on And I think you must have loved him More than I could ever see And you wore his scars like armor though the world could never see Still you roll on, you keep rolling...on

Sweet Thing 05:19
Come on sweet thing Come on sweet thing, don’t do me like this anymore Come on sweet thing come on sweet thing, don’t call on my name anymore Come on sweet thing come on sweet thing, Oh I’ve seen, that look before You know I ain’t got the strength to leave. Can't even use my legs to find the door You're the only one that breaks me And you're the only one that makes me whole Can you do one last thing for me And raise the flag before we lose the war I think I'd trust you I think I'd love you a little more Come on sweet thing Come on sweet thing, don’t you rattle my cage anymore Come on sweet thing, come on sweet thing, day by day, you take, a little more You know I ain’t got the strength to leave. Can't even use my legs to find the door You're the only one that breaks me And you're the only one that makes me whole Can you do one last thing for me And raise the flag before we lose the war I think I'd trust you I think I'd love you a little more I think I'd trust you God knows I'd love you a little more

you can call, and you can write, do anything you’d like tonight tell everyone I’m giving in, I’m giving up, I’m out of luck but you’ll still be alone you’ll still be alone When you look out at the sky tonight through the window near your bed do you think of what you lost out there and the things you never had you could have had it all, it shined for you But you watched it fall you watched it fall watched it fall you watched it fall right through your hands And curse my dreams, and all the things, that you can’t hold and you can't see Are you waiting for bells to ring, and time to bring you everything but you’ll still be alone you’ll still be alone When you look out at the sky tonight through the window near your bed do you think of what you lost out there and the things you never had you could have had it all, it shined for you But you watched it fall you watched it fall watched it fall you watched it fall right through your hands

about

Rented Rooms is my solo debut. I recorded it in between projects with Farewell Milwaukee.

The album is filled with personal songs exploring my relationship with my father. When I became a dad in 2013 it rocked my definition of love and fatherhood and sent me on a journey exploring the true definition of both. Rented Rooms is essentially a love letter to my own dad as I figure out how to be one.
