I reckon I need to find new ways to fill my time What with all my troubles gone I could swallow a pill I could smoke my fill To pass my days on through Or I could leave these things, foregone And spend my time looking at you Oh, I'd spend my time looking at you I could mourn the loss Of each passing breath Of the days that pass me by But wondering and wishing Keeps my hope full of fear Has me sleeping it all away Yeah, I've been sleeping it all away Now I toss and turn With my troubles now gone And left me here and empty shell What will I do at the end of the line When my secrets have nothing to tell What do you get from frowning at the world? You see how it shapes your face It'll eat through your flesh No regard for your vanity Taking from you what it thinks best When I'm gone, let them dig up my bones Every year after now I'll surely have ripples carved into my skull If I keep on with this surly scowl Oh, if I keep on with this surly scowl I reckon I need to find new ways to fill time What with all my troubles gone

Sober 03:29
Six months up from a hole in the ground I'm halfway there I'm halfway back down People say time flies But I think it rains This dark cloud follows me Every day If you're going to bury me Put me twelve feet down You better use every nail To keep me from crawling back out If you want peace You've got to move with the eye of the storm If you want peace Chaos might be your only hope If you're going to bury me Put me twelve feet down You better use every nail To keep me from crawling back out I don't see so clearly now I don't hear what you say You know I get so weary now If you're going to bury me Put me twelve feet down You better use every nail To keep me from crawling back out Six months up from a hole in the ground I'm halfway there I'm halfway back down

Before he was gone She mourned him away Knowing that he'd never stay What once kept him close Now drives him away What she once loved, She grieves now, all the same The same flame that burns your heart white It'll keep you lying in ashes Where were you when she called out your name? Where were you with your burning flame? If lightning strikes but once in a life He's still waiting for the spark He'll wait for you through the wind and the rain He'll wait till you call out his name The same flame that burns your heart white It'll leave you lying in ashes Where were you when he called our your name? Where were you with your burning flame? That same flame that burns your heart white It'll leave you lying in ashes On the way in and on the way back out You get burned By the same flame twice

Primrose 04:35
Storm's passing She comes shining Lit up like she's lit on fire Primrose Hiding in the shade Reaching for the light Primrose Hiding your face Yearning for the sun Primrose Wonder The darkest nights with me Sleep through the lonest mornings Primrose Gather it all The spoils of the sea Sick from every pearl, Your pockets will never be full enough I ain't got the money Or the diamonds or the gold To keep you reaching out for me But what I give away Just know it's all I've got to give And I'd give it all away Write your stories Hang your picture on my wall Share the weight Of your delicate heart Primrose The love in your heart Paints lines on my face Let me be selfish If only for today Primrose Let us have this moment When nobody cares And nobody waits for us Primrose Primrose

Runner runner Keep on running But don't let them follow you down Fighter fighter Keep on fighting But don't let your wounds leave a stain Lover lover Keep on loving But don't let your weary heart take the blame Dreamer dreamer Keep on dreaming But don't let the darkness count your days

Dust 05:01
When I was twelve They were bigger than the Devil Bigger than life itself Bigger than God it seemed Turns out it was just me Advocated for the Devil Turns out it's just what I believed Reconciling all those years I spent chasing heaven Will I live long enough To see my heroes turn to dust Who am I Without my villains? Who am I? Who am I? Who are we When all our heroes, We set them free And we live long enough To see our heroes turn to dust? Look around now At what I've become Am I a hero? Or a villain? Am I ever enough? Will she live long enough To see her heroes Turn to dust?

Promise me We won't go on like this No bets to place but blame I point at you, pointing at me Maybe I see us In six long years Tired from wanting more More of the same More every day So hold me now While my heart's on fire And baby, burn Maybe you failed And that's what ties you down Maybe we learn from our mistakes Maybe it's love That keeps us awake Scared of change Scared of staying the same So let it burn Through the night Let it burn Through the night I'll see you on the other side The other side The other side Your fears, you carry Like a soundless choir So hold me now While my heart's on fire And let it burn through the night

Was it time Or was it love That separated us? Did we dream of nothing? If you could read Back through my words I can't say you'd see me trying It's things like that That keep me going On my mind And in my heart If ever we're apart I carry a stone for each of these In my heart I carry a stone for each of these In my heart The brush of your hand The touch of your hair Falling on my chest The rust of your drug The calm of your touch Crawling on my skin It'll never be enough No never It's things like that That keep me going That and knowing How to say goodbye

Gone 03:28
She's afraid of commitment So she draws on herself And calls them her tattoos She loves boys with scars And girls and cars In bars up till dawn Up till dawn She likes all your favorite songs And she'll dance with only you She'll sing and sway all day As all young lovers do But after tonight She's gone gone gone There's no coming back for her She's gone The night's always young Like you're never going to see the sun You're dizzy and you're spinning You can only see the whites of her eyes After tonight She's gone gone gone There's no coming back for her She's a siren Ooooooo she's a siren So you walk all the roads That lead you anywhere but home Anywhere that'll keep her memory warm You stumble through the dark following her silhouette The closer you come The farther she gets After tonight You're gone gone gone There's no coming back for you You're gone

There's been no smoke in the house for days Still the fire rages on Still the fire Burns Put in the mirror and watch it fade away Smoke and ash willl never make you stay Still the fire Burns You ain't running from Nothing you ain't running to Let the storm chase you What else can you do? What else can you do? Now it's been a little while since you felt the flame Been a little while since stole away But now you feel the heat And you smell the smoke Way down deep burning in your soul You've got to still the fire That burns you down You've got to still the fire That burns you down Still the fire That burns you down You ain't running from Nothing you ain't running to Let the storms chase you What else can you do? Let the storms chase you What else can you?

I'm not the woman You see, you see I can't give to you What I can't reach You can't take away The pain inside me I'm not the woman You see, you see A simple heart WIth a heavy weight Crossing my fingers That it's not too late Too late, too late I'm not the woman You see, you see But if I were There's no promises That you'd still love her That I'd still love her
13.
I'm prepared to never see you again Ain't that how these things go? Listen to the timbre of my voice Your name in every note Ain't that how these things go? I sing into the wind And it whispers back your name Ain't that how these things go? Feel the walls closing in I carved your name in every stone Ain't that how these things go? I sing into the wind And it whispers back your name Ain't that how these things go?
14.
You fill my mind Like a seat on the last train home Down the tracks we glide Destination already known You fill my mind Like a seat on the last train home I close my eyes And wake up right where I belong Oooh how I long to hear that whistle blow Oooh how I've longed Oooh how I've longed To see my lover's face Conductor, oh, conductor Of steel and steam Grant me safe travels Like the passengers before me Conductor take me Conductor take me To see my lover's face Ooo how I've longed to hear that whistle blow Ooo how I've longed to hear that whistle blow Ooo how I've longed You feel my mind like a seat on the last train home You feel my mind like a seat on the last train home You feel my mind You feel my mind Like a seat on the last train home Ooo how I've longed to hear that whistle blow Ooo how I've longed Ooo how I've longed to see my lover's face You feel my mind like a seat on the last train home You feel my mind

about

One Lone Goat Knoxville, Tennessee

I write deeply personal songs that are simple and purposeful. I try to make amends with myself and find something to understand in the love and loss and pain that I’ve picked up along the way.
