my sincerest form of flattery

Going To A Town

I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
I'm going to a place that has already been disgraced
I'm gonna see some folks who have already been let down
I'm so tired of America

I'm gonna make it up for all of The Sunday Times
I'm gonna make it up for all of the nursery rhymes
They never really seem to want to tell the truth
I'm so tired of you, America

Making my own way home, ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead, America
I've got a life to lead

Tell me, do you really think you go to hell for having loved?
Tell me, enough of thinking everything that you've done is good
I really need to know, after soaking the body of Jesus Christ in blood
I'm so tired of America

I really need to know
I may just never see you again, or might as well
You took advantage of a world that loved you well
I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
I'm so tired of you, America

Making my own way home, ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead, America
I've got a life to lead
I got a soul to feed
I got a dream to heed
And that's all I need

Making my own way home, ain't gonna be alone
I'm going to a town
That has already been burnt down


I spent the evening teaching myself the guitar tabs to this song. I'm one of those people who makes gawd awful covers & video records them. Except I never put them on youtube. In fact I never show them to anyone. Gabe sees them but because he has no choice HAHA
Sometimes I do just voice recordings instead of video and SOMETIMES I play/sing my OWN work. Mostly though, I like to do covers. They help me practice :D

It's so funny that I use tabs when I can read music perfectly fine. I was taught to read music at a super young age so you'd think I'd be more inclined to use them now.....
Perhaps it's because Gabe doesn't read music? He is my only band mate you know.

One of these days I'll muster up the courage to post a video or audio clip....

For now the original and ONE AND ONLY:

2 souls with but a single thought, 2 hearts that beat as 1


Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies...

she wolf

Yeah, when I was only 17,
I could hear the angels whispering
So I droned into the words and wandered aimlessly about
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
Or a wolf to be exact, the sound sent shivers down my back
But I was drawn into the pack and before long
They allowed me to join in and sing their song
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah
We would gladly get our fill
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah
And my thoughts, they surely were
Turned to instinct and obedience to God.
