Pieces Of Me     New for 2016!


Album Lyrics

LIFT ME UP

Hold me up when my fight’s conceding
Shut the door when I try leaving
Lighten me up when my bones feel heavy
When I’m lost, please come get me
When life starts spinning  around
and spinning around
Starts draggin me down again
I fall to the ground
You don’t make a sound
you just lift me up
Focus me when my site is blurring
Steady me when my heart starts swerving
Talk me down when I feel heady
Be my rock when I’m unsteady
I promise you I will not fail you, I will not let you down again
And I promise I will do my best to get back on my feet again and then . . .

PIECES OF ME

You left pieces of me standing there
Our hands were freezing, nerves were bare
I'll not forget the things you said, 
They burned a hole inside my head
Is it too much to ask of you
To beg and plead you change your view of me
I lashed out at you, I'm not proud
The voice inside my head so loud,
I lost control and aimed at you
I shot and fired before I knew
It was too much to ask of me
Take a breath and see you
Bang bang there goes another round
In poisoned words we both could drown this time
Bang bang here we go again, no matter how long it has been
No one will win this fight, tonight
So here I sit alone again, 
My looking glass paper and pen
I'm sorry for the things I did, 
I'd love to take them back instead
Apologies are all we have and 
I'd prefer we not look back at all
Step out the ring, take off our gloves
We both have scars from playing rough
all bets are off, I'm tapping out 
The bell just rang you won this bout
So take my hand and walk with me
I blinded, you blinded me too
No Story books will tell the truth
Happily ever after is a ruse
Love's bit is sweet but can leave a bruise.
But I still choose you.



Hit The Road

I’ve got a ticket on my car – but I can’t stop myself from writing
I better get some sleep tonight cause tomorrow I’ll be driving
From Luxembourg to Germany, From Germany to Belgium
I only stop for Gasoline so I don’t lose my momentum
Ohhhhhhhhh – Gotta Goooooo and Get on the Road
So I head out of my hotel room and now 201 is vacant
Toss all my bags into the trunk, no time to rearrange em
From winding road to highway lines, my little engine purrin
I go from car to stage to car to stage – with all the venues blurring
Ohhhhhhhhhh – – I’ve got to Goooooooo HIT The Road
Sometimes traction slips until you take the wheel
Only driving shines the light on how you feel
And if you’re lucky you might crash into the truth
Cause in the end, all roads, they lead on back to you
I’ve got one show left before I go, I’ve got loads of heart to give it
Flying high on life and just the fact that I do this for a living
The sights, the sounds, and my new friends I met along the way
It’s time to say goodbye to them so I can leave later today
Oohhhhhhhhhhhh – Gotta Gooo – HIT on the road
Gotta Get Out 

Turn Back To You

I was a Mile a minute kind of kid,
Not so proud of some things I did or didn’t do
I learned to run from trouble, run from friends
I burned my bridges at both ends looking for you
You can see all parts of me – the good the best, the worst in me it’s true
And I knew it from the start that it felt different in my heart to be with you
It’s been a hard road Believing that I deserve love
And all the seeds I’ve sown are cemented in my make-up
But I know now that I’ll Turn back to you
When things get rough on the road I’ve taken
I always hit the gas instead of breaking down
It’s a lesson learned from the ones I loved that
When things go wrong, you just don’t stick around.
So I think I’ve found what I came here for
I have shattered these walls and I’ve busted doors to get to you
I won’t run from trouble or run from friends
I’m here to stick it out to the bitter end to be with you
But I know that I deserve you.

ZOMBIE


Look to the left and seek to the right
Longing for Contact, but there's none in sight for me
They're walking like Zombies, programmed like drones
No man's search for meaning, unless it's found on their phones for free.
No one can hear me, no one can see me
Gave you a poke, I liked your pic, so pay it back now
Let's play a game, here's what I say, it's just like crack now
It's been so long since I last saw you, we should hang out
Uh oh, my internet has gone down
The virtual friendships we all seem to find,
No time with our real friends, cause they're all on-line all the time
Plugged in and checked out of what lies straight ahead
Technology wins and presence is dead
No one can hear me, no one can see me
Gave you a poke, I liked your pic, so pay it back now
Let's play a game, here's what I say, it's just like crack now
It's been so long since I last saw you, we should hang out
Uh oh, my internet has gone down

EVERYWHERE BUT HERE

Take all the time you need
I’ll wait right here
Your torn and trying to see
Where your heart should be
Where your heart should be
I’m sitting in this house
We used to share
I’ve taken all your pictures down
Now the walls are bare
All my walls are bare
And you are there And you are there And you are there
Not here
I think you’ve chosen her
The signs are there
But I see your face in things
Everywhere, you’re everywhere
You’re everywhere, everywhere, you’re everywhere
But here
Bridge: I saw the writing on the Wall


​I REFUSE TO


Please be aware that I don’t really care 
for your stale wasted air that concerns what I’m writing
It may seem unfair, or I’m blowing hot air 
or my brain is impaired or I have faulty wiring
It must be said, though I’m sure you meant the best
It might be nice to hear a sweet little song – 
but - I’m not like the rest
It must be confessed that I really detest 
your insistent request that I change my direction
I’ve had it assessed and this wound is absessed 
and it’s time to address this unsightly infection
I’ll say it again though my time’s at an end, 
like a bow I will bend before shooting my arrow
I’ll no longer mend, or consider you friend, 
that’s the price that you pay when your mind is so narrow
And I can not, will not, choose to change a thing about me – I refuse to

NICE TO MEET YOU

It’s nice to meet you Show me a sign
All it takes is a moment to make your eyes connect with mine
I’d like to see you, so that you can see me
What are we here for, let’s explore more the possibility
I swear after all you’ve been through I could meet you note for note 
So take my hand, and sing with me this melody I wrote
It’s nice to know you – I don’t feel so alone
I’m drawn to you like a splint to a break, I feel it in my bones
It’s nice to love you – you’re so shiny and bright
We are connected and it feels so very right
I swear after all you’ve been through I could meet you note for note
So take my hand, and sing with me this melody I wrote

NOVOCAINE

Generation- Saddened youth
Bloodied lip and broken tooth
Fill them up with novacaine
So that they will feel whole again

They reach out with little hands
So alone in quickened sand
And instead of helping hold them up
We hand out pills from Pfizer trucks

The youth cry out with questions asked
Fear of the future, shame of past
Not sure why they should stay
When pills won't make it go away
They search for answers make them 
Make them wrong, feelings suppressed 
so they look strong
Hide them make it go away
So that they will appear ok


IN ANOTHER LIFE


Maybe in another life, I’d hop on my old cruiser bike and
Ride around the town to find some other kids around and
I would play outside all day, until the sky turned dusky grey, and
ride back home again To mom and dad’s in Haarlem – Oh maybe in another life
 
I’d grow up in a happy home and my last name would be Bohm
I’d leave the house to roam, I’d travel far and wide and I’d
Lead a simple life, just what I needed to survive
and I would Settle down in a tiny town on the sandy coast of Dutch seaside
Oh Maybe in another life
 
We’d have a kid or maybe three, one giant happy family
We’d be sipping cups of tea, under our own fig tree
And I’d be turning grey, but life is kind of good that way cause
All we got is time and time is all we give away
Oh maybe, in another life – Oh maybe in another life
 
BRIDGE:
Some days I dream about packing all my bags to go
Leave my tired life behind to head for the unknown
There is a part of me in every place I’ve been
I find the pieces, pick them up, bring them home and think again . . .
 
OH Maybe . . . in another life
