Here's a brand new song I wrote in the last few days.  I don't think I've ever been more proud or excited about one of my songs, so I'm pumped to share it with you.  This video was done in one take with one mic, one line in, and my macbook pro, old macbook, and iPhone recording video.  I didn't do any edits, acting or overdubs.  Hope you enjoy it.  

Lyrics:

Feels like I'm miles away -- from where I started
But I'm still only inches at bay from a broken heart
And I'm just on the cusp of falling right back over
To the cold and the dark and the gray of last October

 But that's just the way it is
 I tried but I can't fight it now
 And that's how it's always been 
 You're haunting all my dreams
 There's no getting used to it
 I'd cry out, but it won't help me now
 Cause I'm a prisoner to you
 Yeah I'm a prisoner to you

You're still deep in my thoughts - forming chains that bind
Left here facing the clock at the mercy of father time now
And I'm praying for a harder rain to make these chains rust
Free me from reliving all the memories of us

        But that's just the way it is
 I tried but I can't fight it now
 And that's how it's always been 
 You're haunting all my dreams
 There's no getting used to it
 I'd cry out, but it won't help me now
 Cause I'm a prisoner to you
 Yeah I'm a prisoner to you

         I should run
                I should hide
         I should fake what I feel tonight
         But it's no use
         You'd see right through 
                Can't pretend I'm not a prisoner to you
  
        But that's just the way it is
 I tried but I can't fight it now
 And that's how it's always been 
 You're haunting all my dreams
 There's no getting used to it
 I'd cry out, but it won't help me now
 Cause I'm a prisoner to you
 Yeah I'm a prisoner to you
