about

I love music and I'm so grateful for all the gifts it has brought to my life. In May 2011, I took a huge leap of faith and moved from Iowa down to Austin for a year, to study at Rubicon Artist Development and make my first EP. Stay tuned...

Track Name: Promise to My Son (shadow entry)
We’ve been waiting for a you for a long, long time.
A smile like your father, eyes like mine.
Dreaming of tiny baby toes,
soft hair, soft skin,
the scent of new beginnings.

This is a promise to my son
I love you and I always will until my days are done
This is a promise to my son
I love you

No boy child can live, according to the king
How could such a tiny child do anything?
Prophesy filled his mind with fear
Too much, too late
he thinks it all is fated

This is a promise to my son
I love you and I always will until my days are done
This is a promise to my son
I love you

The midwife says she knows how to keep you safe,
She says it’s easier if I don’t see your face.
My deepest fear is you will hate me for this,
but if you live to hate me,
That will mean you are alive

This is a promise to my son
I love you and I always will until my days are done
This is a promise to my son
I love you


It’s time.
Track Name: Bullseye
BULLSEYE

6/8
Billiard balls crack, cold beer sweats
I can taste the cigarettes
Peanut shells are crunching ‘neath my shoes
Squint my eyes and aim
The whole room slips away
It’s just me and the eight ball
I let loose

4/4
Right on target
Right on cue
Knew exactly what to do
Didn’t even have to try
BULLSEYE

6/8
Solids & stripes, load the rack
Scan the room for my next match
I got to keep the table with my win
Turn to see your face
The whole room slips away
It’s just me and those deep blues
I fall in

4/4
Right on target
Right on cue
Knew exactly what to do
Didn’t even have to try
BULLSEYE

6/8
Sometimes Cupid works in funny ways,
maybe he’s the one directing my aim

4/4
Right on target
Right on cue
Knew exactly what to do
Didn’t even have to try
BULLSEYE

4/4
Right on target
Right on cue
Knew exactly what to do
Didn’t even have to try
BULLSEYE
Track Name: I'm Not Wearing Tights
I didn't sign up for this job
It just started one day an unusual way
I noticed that something was odd
When I floated from bed, was I dreaming or dead?
Nope, definitely I was awake

Now suddenly people are asking
Can I save them from crooks and meteor storms?
Never been good multi-tasking
Still feel like a zero, But they call me a hero
They say all I need is a uniform

But if they call in a tight spot
I'm not wearing tights
It's a crime against fashion
And I know my rights
Leather or nylon
No matter what kind
Whoever thinks I'm wearing tights
Is out of their mind
They're out of their mind

I never looked good in spandex
And I'm already reeling from attempting at dealing
With this duel identity complex
Without being made to feel large, who's the person in charge
Of ruining my day & hurting my feelings?

If they call in a tight spot
I'm not wearing tights
It's a crime against fashion
And I know my rights
Leather or nylon
Don't matter what kind
Whoever thinks I'm wearing tights
Is out of their mind
Is out of their mind

I don't cut a fine form
Like Catwoman or Storm
Maybe I'd wear 'em
If I looked like Halle Berr, um, y
But I don't
So I won't!

If they call in a tight spot
I'm not wearing tights
It's a crime against fashion
And I know my rights
Leather or nylon
Don't matter what kind
Whoever thinks I'm wearing tights
Is out of their mind
They're out of their mind
They're out of their mind
They're out of their mind
