Just Wait
The people that know that you’re my baby
The people that were there when we first met
Could take a piece of my heart and see the scarring
cuz they’re the ones that understand why it’s like that
How we got to be here is a sad long story
with alotta tornado like bullshit
Ripping through hearts and devastating
natural disaster – but some wont’ agree it is
(Chorus):
and the bloody relief is that you took me down
into a certain hell that burned up only the things that were weighing on my wings
and the bloody police they came and seized my crown
cuz I was ruling on the wrong country but you came along and sent me sailing to where I belong
Coming up to the calm after the storm
a little wet but we sure didn’t drown
I never learned so fast how to use my arms
thrashing around thrashing around
(Chorus)
(Bridge):
wait just wait wait just wait babe
don’t give up
gotta find our way through the mess I made babe
wait just wait wait just wait babe
don’t give up
gotta find our way through the mess I made babe
I pray that you show me the way
I pray that you show me the way
and what do you know? We’re ok we’re ok
(Chorus)

Captured Lady by Kendall Patrick
Welcome to my skin
You've been invited it
to an afternoon of
rub up against me
I feel your fingertips
They're feeling delicate
Let's move like we've got
half of a century
Chorus
Come into my house
I'll show you what it's made of
Listen to the mahogany burning
Come into my house
I'll show you what you've made of me
A captured Lady
Beside the crystal lake
there is a misty forest
You can catch glimpses of
mysterious ladies
In dresses, disappear
and they say every year
one of them dies or
falls prrey

The Other Side
Put it down…
No I can’t/Sorry bout that/ I gotta hold on
When did it come down to this?
I couldn’t say/ I really couldn’t say/ I think I was born with it
When it's all done in the dark, I can't be sure if it's real or not
A part of me really believes that it's possible i haven't got
a clue what you're talking about
I live a life with my mouth Shut
(Chorus)
I Will ask forgiveness, I will, On the other side
A String of nights in the summer time/ I can feel this fire boy dying beside me
Blazing bright, and I am right there/ Singing singing singing thinking this might be
The best time, the best time of my life/ Painting poison on my body to lift me up
cuz i've been living in the dirt/ I've been living with my head in the dirt and i can't get up
(Chorus)
The trees/ The essence of trees are wondering why aren't you listening to me?
There I am, at the mercy of my disease
The trees/ The essence of the trees are wondering why aren't you listening to me?
it's cuz I live a life on my knees
(Chorus)
When you feel like your story's weighing on your shoulder
I will grant forgiveness, I will
I understand that your will isn’t in your hands

Be With You
Here I lay my head beside you
Night after emotionally distant night
I’m waiting not so patiently but I’m still here
What does that say?
(Chorus):
I wanna be with you so bad
and I don’t know how to do this well
but I do it cuz I wanna be with you
Sometimes I feel you come back to me
Come back to right exactly where we used to be
Then in a flash you vanish behind your stone cold pain
and I wait for you again cuz
(Chorus)
(Bridge):
How do you deal with the way that you feel when you know if it doesn’t stop
What you’re trying to protect’ll be ironically wrecked
Ya you’ll lose everything you’ve got
(Chorus)

Certainly Trying
Sweet malfunction got me again
Something ain’t wired right in my head
Quick super spiral into the ground
It’s taking me apart and spinning me around
It’s hard to see clearly
When I’m all disoriented and dizzy
My mind is playing tricks on me challenging my ability
To decipher reality gotta throw out these worn out beliefs
(Chorus):
Maybe I’m no better than the girl I was back then
But who’s to say I won’t make it I’m certainly trying my best
Pretty soon everything will belong to you
I am humbly giving this business of misinterpretation up to you
Whenever I believe in my own head I end up on the floor
And I don’t wanna be there anymore no no no
(Chorus)
(Bridge):
I set myself up for this trouble / carried terrible beliefs
now I gotta deal with all this rubble
and build myself a new way to deal with me
(Chorus)

Second Line
Shit’s really hitting the fan these days
and can we even see it coming or is it just falling on our plates?
I see no reason to get bent out of shape
It’s gotta be happening for a reason or I would not be here
Not sure who’s coming or going anymore
Are you really gonna throw it away and walk out the door
I thought you were serious about this side of the line
Guess everybody’s gotta go and get fucked up sometimes
Guess everybody’s gotta go and get fucked up to find themselves
(Chorus):
I don’t wanna lose my place in line
I’ve worked so hard to get here
Why would I, Why would I throw it all away for a second time
You sure can’t save your ass and your face and at the same at the same time
Standing around smoking cigarettes in the freezing fucking cold
Taking our lives for granted like we can’t wait
for death to get us when we’re old and
Tryna make sense out of these people just falling off the earth
Are you gonna come and get us now or will you wait till we are worthy?

Stars and City Lights
Imitating sunlight when it hides, the stars don’t cut it after five
Five seconds at the most to find a lightswitch in my house
Housing all of this progression from fire to electricity
Teeming with human created stuff to copy what exists with or without us
Piled on top of what simple is is a lot of meaninglessness
Necessary process of information to keep our brains in healthy form
Forming quite a lot of clutter but a million words can’t erase the answer
Certain parallels with hearts and stars, the kinds of things that just simply are
Are you thinking too much so much, love, you forget where it’s all coming from
Prechorus:
How could I have ever been so blind?
I don’t wanna lose this sense tonight
Chorus:
Feed me, power outage, feed me
I wanna see the stars tonight
Feed me, silence, please feed me
I wanna hear my heart tonight

Suffering House
More than once in a while I find myself get paranoid as hell
No trust, trust out the window, trust like I never did know
And it ain’t you, no it ain’t new
The Suffering House must burn down
I get this hot fucked up feeling that you’re leaving
and I’ve believing the deceiving fantasy I have in my mind
In this evil little mind / Gets me every single time
No matter how persistent your convincing, I’m not listening, lost to this thing, lost
The Suffering House must burn down
(Chorus):
My head is filled with all this doubt
Can you relieve me? Can you release me from my fears?
Before I turn this inside out
Can you unteach me? Come on, unteach me all those years
Every time that I turn around from the Spirit of the earth that I know I’ve once found
It all goes black really fast
And I wonder will I be saved? It could be only five minutes till I find my grave
There’s a search party that’s looking for it with a vengeance
The Suffering House must burn down
(Chorus)
(Bridge):
Have some faith that I will not leave you

Big Stars
In the summer time, in the summer time
we were in love, burning the days up, yeah
Sharing beds and floors, sharing beds and floors
coronas in the fridge, smokes in the package, yeah
But better glue than that, but better glue than that
we had our guitars under the big stars and we were in love
(Chorus):
Don’t go out of sight. I’d really miss you so stay
Don’t go out of sight. The summer’s slipping away
The summer’s slipping away
So you came last night, so you came last night
to celebrate me being away, being away for a whole year
Guess I got your blessing
And I’m so glad to have it, so grateful to have it
gonna carry it, carry it with me in my soul
when I’m out on the road missing home
But better glue than that, but better glue than that
we had our guitars under the big stars and we were in love
(Chorus)

Kendall Patrick British Columbia
i write, because there's something in the explaining that makes it all ok
Kendall Patrick recommends:
Go To Hell, Chris Thompson
by Ah, Venice
I got to do a schwack of live shows with Ah, Venice and at the time we were playing a lot of these songs. Aside from the nostalgia, Chris is one of the most talented songwriters I've ever encountered,
go to album
1st time I heard Max's voice coming thru the PA my jaw dropped. About time I heard some writing as raw and accurate as this. A brain is a battleground and some people just know how to write about it
go to album
Matt Chesterfield is out of left field. One time when I barely knew him, I asked him why he always sung with an english accent. "I don't". I've never met anyone who writes like him, or is like him. <3
