about

I picked up a loaner guitar and Easy Beatles Songbook in 2001, taught myself a few chords and kicked around with songwriting off and on for a bit. A radio show, some songwriting contests, folk festivals, and a songwriting certificate later, I decided to stop kidding myself and take my dreams seriously. So in 2011, I sold my car, moved to Austin to study at Rubicon Artist Development, played 157 open mics and showcases, and recorded an EP called Anchor (the title track started out as a SpinTunes entry!) that is due out this summer. I'm now back in Iowa, ready for the next chapter in my musical journey!

lyrics

You make my skin itch
I can’t stand your breath across my cheek
You make me weak
You make me weak
You make me weak

You make my days dark
I’m not sure I’ll see the sun again
too mean a friend
too mean a friend
too mean a friend

You’re so cold and unfeeling
Blind to all the pain you are dealing

You make my feet numb
Then you steal my sense of solid ground
You knock me down
You knock me down
You knock me down

You make my lips crack
and you even make them bleed sometimes
too cruel a crime
too cruel a crime
too cruel a crime

I can’t escape you, you’re everywhere I turn
But you don’t notice me or care

You’re so cold and unfeeling
Blind to all the pain you are dealing

You make my skin itch
I can’t stand your breath across my cheek

You make my days dark
I’m not sure I’ll see the sun again

You make my feet numb
Then you steal my sense of solid ground

You make my lips crack
and you even make them bleed sometimes

I can’t escape you, you’re everywhere I turn
But you don’t notice me or care

You’re so cold and unfeeling
Blind to all the pain you are dealing

You make my skin itch
You make my days dark
You make my feet numb
You make my lips crack

You make my skin itch
You make my days dark
You make my feet numb
You make my lips crack
