lyrics

when the night dies a painful death
when it's walking down the dark paths of regret
there's a killer on every corner
waiting with a little spark
we are just her latest mark

cause you and I are a powder keg
when the party's over we wobble on two legs
and the slightest look
that fuse sparkles in the dark
too much to hold back
the madness in the parking lot

words, like fire, burning through our hearts
we're lost in the inferno
ashes from the start
blanket statements
ad hominem attacks
our faces are blood-red
but the mood is vantablack

so strike a match
light the powder keg
two giant egos
ain't too proud to beg
and all these desires come together at one time
too much evidence to carry away from the crime

gaze upon me, I am your house in flames
a screaming inferno, crying out your name
don't call the fireman, you need to flood the plain
I'm hiding in our bedroom
I'm lost in smoke and haze

every crack spreads
let's keep it together
every joint breaks
let's keep it together
every flame dies
let's light it together
every house falls
let's keep it together
we can keep it together

when the night sinks from memory again
do you write the stories as you wish they'd been

His recent album Lights Out 4 Baby Grand, shows a more personal side, while The World, Just For You is a collection of cover songs he recorded to survive the dystopian ambivalence of 2020.
