    Immediate download of 10-track album in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.

    Well, here it is in all it's glorious imperfection! Fierce Summer, a compilation of songs written (for the most part) during 50/90 2009. It was truly a fierce summer with temperatures in Texas in record highs, and me with no air conditioner. It was physically draining, but songs kept pouring out of my melted brain. A couple of FAWM past songs are included, along with one of my favorites acoustic songs, All the Way to Arizona.

    Thanks for listening and downloading it. I hope you enjoy the music. Thanks also to the extra special people at 50/90 (50 songs in 90 Days) And FAWM (February Album Writing Month) for the motivation and inspiration to keep writing music.
    Purchasable with gift card

I LIKE WHAT I SEE Lately I've been so distracted Clearly you got me attracted Believe me that was unexpected I keep myself disconnected But when you shot me with those caramel colored eyes The shock spun my world counter-clockwise Baby What you doin' to me Baby What you makin' me be Baby Somethin's happenin' to me I think I like what I see Maybe my mind's been affected But I don't think I'm defective You tell me if I should be corrected, Cause I think we should get connected The way you move is like a match striking a fire My engine has been seriously hotwired Baby What you doin' to me Baby What you makin' me be Baby Somethin's happenin' to me I think I like what I see I like what I see And that don't happen to me Your happening to me Uuuu I like what I see Baby What you doin' to me Baby What you makin' me be Baby Somethin's happenin' to me I think I like what I see I think I like what I see I think I like what I see

Shaking hands making scares that never heal Tired eyes make tears too heavy to conceal Why try anymore Why try anymore Passing blame on the way to find a home Too hard to explain why it can't be left alone Why try anymore Why try anymore CHORUS I'm not ready I'm not ready For this responsibility I'm not ready I'm not ready For you to give up on me I'm not ready Chasing love with out a heart to put it in Giving up on stretching out my skin Why try anymore? Why try anymore? CHORUS Some things never change While some things are rearranged Everything's falling, don't you hear the future calling I just wanna get out of the way CHORUS2 I'm not ready I'm not ready For this responsibility I'm not ready I'm not ready For you to flake out on me It's too much, Too soon, Too many reasons why And I say why try, why try But I can't lay down die I'm not ready

Save Me 04:10
Your trembling hands Questioned reality When they told you what to do Your blackened tears Filled with agony Though you know they want the best for you But truth be told Between just you and me You didn't listen to them then So why does this have to be Save me I'm your baby And I'm crying What do you want? What do you want? Save me I'm your baby And I'm dying What do you want? Save me Your breaking heart Must mean something I know you want to make them proud You feel a truth Somewhere deep inside you But all these voices are so loud Our two souls Crossed into infinity It's up to you say When & where we'll meet Save me I'm your baby And I'm crying Cause I know what you want, I know you want me Save me I'm your baby And I'm dying I know what you want You want to save me

Consequences 03:34
Dig a hole in the dirt And toss that box in the earth And cover it quick and don't look back Rest in peace cut the greiving Wear the face of relief and For God's sake stop wearing black Isn't that what you wanted Isn't that what you wanted Isn't that what you wanted so bad Quit screwing around if you can't handle it Quit screwing around if you can't handle it Quit screwing around if you can't handle it Quit screwing around if you can't handle it Consequences Can't keep your hands from shaking Can't keep your head from aching Can't keep your shame from coming back That's what you get for lying That's what you get for trying All that crazy crap you can't take back I gave you what you wanted I gave you what you wanted I gave you what you wanted so bad Quit screwing around if you can't handle it Quit screwing around if you can't handle it Quit screwing around if you can't handle it Quit screwing around if you can't handle it Consequences Is it too late Is it too late Is it too late Too late for you Quit screwing around if you can't handle it Quit screwing around if you can't handle it Quit screwing around if you can't handle it Quit screwing around if you can't handle it Consequences

CHORUS Wanna sing Wanna dance Wanna party Wanna fling Want romance With you honey I'm gettin' your love See my eyes You're the one That I want You're not mine Give it time I feel good I'm gettin' your love I'm gonna put my face on I'm gonna get my game on I'm gonna put some lace on And some perfume, that's bold, but not too strong CHORUS I'm gonna be fire and ice Gonna make you look once but not think twice I'm gonna use my night eyes To show you I can be naughty and nice CHORUS Tonight I'm gonna make you feel so special Dance with me, let me take away your troubles Close your eyes, forget about tomorrow Just be with me tonight, let your passion flow

You Lose 03:31
I saw the way you turned your head When I walked in the room. don't you try to deny it You still want me no matter what you said But I know you're used to getting what want, but I'm never going back CHORUS You go around looking And wanting what you can't have You never stop grabbing And aching for what you had But I'm here to say something As someone you treated bad Now Uuuuuuuu This time you lose I know I've taken a lot off you Something about you is so very hard to refuse But you walking out with her was the best thing for me It woke me up from dreaming to see reality CHORUS BRIDGE Tell me how you feel when you look at me Tell me how you feel when you dream of me I'll tell me how it feels to still want me Knowing you can't have me, and I'm not sorry CHORUS
7.
It seems like the ruins of a battleground Bloood-stained dirt and dust all around The remaining ones left on the run To be done CHORUS Everybody wants to Know what's going on Who's going down Take a second Take a good hard look around The clock is ticking Time is running out On everyone It's times like these we need to believe Take your sword and plant a seed Cross your heart, and dodge the darts Just stay smart CHORUS BRIDGE Smoking guns and tears And sweat and blood And callous fears And the ones who refuse to give up CHORUS

I found an old picture bin From way back when Now I'm re-living memories from Over ten long years ago Ain't it funny how things go Just look at your smile God it's been a while Since I heard your laugh But if I try and try really hard I can hear your voice in the dark CHORUS Did you have to move a thousand miles away To forget my face and erase my name from your existence Was I so offensive You go all the way to Arizona Here's one of you on a swing At the park just laughing And one of you and me God we looked so happy, but you changed your mind And I still don't know why CHORUS I just want to know what you were thinking On the night you left me stone cold without a reason And I just think it would be nice of you to give me one more minute of your time Maybe even say goodbye I just want to know CHORUS
9.
I made a promise to you yeah And I stuck to it like glue You made the same promise too yeah But somehow I think I'm gettin' screwed More than usual Even more than I expected It's not unusual But I just didn't suspect it CHORUS What does she got What does she got A lot of money for you honey (Dropping money on you honey) Making you hot What does she got What does she got Driving a Mercedes Like it's making you big shot I should have known you'd be swinging You and your kind ride the fence I really should have seen it coming But I fell for you & your pretense You said you were sure You said we had forever I guess now that you're cured You can pretend we were never together CHORUS What does she got What does she got Another lover Cause you think it makes you so hot What does she got What does she got She's drops her panties Anytime you give her a shot I made a promise to you yeah And I stuck to it like glue You made that same promise too yeah But love's a bitch and now I'm gettin' screwed More than usual And not in a good way You're a habitual Gold digging, blood sucking, lying two-face CHORUS CHORUS

High 03:33
You got me actin' all crazy Believe me that ain't easy But I laugh when I should cry Dance with no reason why You're like the real deal you're a thrill pill for my mind What you give me is a crime I'm high, all the time I'm high on you all the time You might think it's time to stop Oh, but I'll keep on going 'til I pop I can't see, I'm dizzy I'm in a dream I feel a sensation like I'm floating It's all from what you give me I'm high, all the time I'm high on you all the time My heart beat is erractic This could turn out to be traumatic I must admit I'm hooked on you like an addict I'm high, all the time I'm high on you all the time
