Hole In My Heart 01:59
lyrics

There’s a Hole in my heart There’s a Big old empty space I see the wall Where I used to see your face Hole in my heart What a waste There’s a Hole in my heart And there’s So much I can see All of these things That I should have done differently Hole in my heart Let it be Didn’t I try to love you Didn’t I try to care Didn’t I sleep Didn’t I weep Beside you There’s a Hole in my heart And there’s Nothing anyone can say I see the wall Where I used to see your face Hole in my heart Go away Hole in my heart Go away Hole in my heart Go away

We Used To Live There 03:39
lyrics

Howdy friend you know I’m sorry That I didn’t make it over last night But you know What with the way things are, man Something just doesn’t seem right You’re literally on the same street And right now that’s just a little too much For me to bear We used to live there We used to live there I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know You’re gonna tell me to get over it That what doesn’t kill me Helps me grow And I get that, I do But my heart’s too numb to beat Much less understand All I can do Is stare We used to live there We used to live there It’s funny ‘cause you used to live way down here, man Way down where the wild things are But now you’re living way up north With white teeth And a brand new car I try to tell myself that a place is just a place That memories are in my mind That the distribution of [ain Is not always fair We used to live there We used to live there I’m going out tonight Gonna do what I need to do If I’m not back by the morning Phone in a rescue crew The wind while I wait To be whisked away Blew a warning From where I don’t care Right down through my hair We used to live there We used to live there Alright time to face my fears Whoa there it is The one I’m pointing at Gaze up at the darkened windows Turn around Shed a tear Walk back Life is beautiful This I do declare There’s just so many facets I’m finding it Impossible to really care We used to live there We used to live there We used to live there We used to live there

My Flower 02:57
lyrics

And even if you were standing here What would I say to you It’s like a wall went up And now I can’t get through Is there some kind of secret key That I can use Or is the game already over Did I already lose You were my flower You were my angel in the dark You were my power You made my life Fun instead of hard Communication breakdown Br-br-br-breaking me in two And I can accept what I don’t Believe is true In the back of my mind I guess I always knew That when you left This is exactly what you would do You were my flower You were my angel in the dark You were my power You made my life Fun instead of hard The top of the peak provides A pretty view A perfect place to contemplate How much you grew But where will you go When they throw you back in the zoo And all you have to hold you Is the time that flew You were my flower You were my angel in the dark You were my power You made my life Fun instead of hard You made my life Fun instead of hard You made my life Fun instead of hard

Dreamland 02:23

It makes me so sad It makes me so mad Every time I see you In Dreamland In Dreamland During the day I can keep your memory at bay But when the moon shines through I come back home to you In Dreamland In Dreamland I wore a bulletproof vest I traveled north, south, east, and west Looking for a place to go Away from all I know But it’s no use you always show up In Dreamland In Dreamland I miss being hypnotized By your unending eyes It’s driving me insane You’re gone but still remain In Dreamland In Dreamland It makes me so sad It makes me so mad Every time I see Every time I see Every time I see you In Dreamland In Dreamland In Dreamland In Dreamland

Why Bother 02:47
lyrics
buy track
I’d write you a letter Pour my heart on the page You always just got me We shared the same rage But my pen has no prowess Writing’s no fun Why bother, we’re over We’re done I’d call you on the phone That’s a sensible choice We always were talking I always did love your voice But you don’t even miss me Talking’s no fun Why bother, we’re over We’re done I’d come out to see you I’d spend my last dime You could show me what you’ve seen Give me a glimpse of your time But who am I kidding Visiting is no fun Why bother, we’re over We’re done Why bother, we’re over We’re done Why bother, we’re over We’re done

Black Cloud 02:45

There’s a black cloud On the horizon Getting closer It’ll be here soon But I’m not scared ‘Cause I’m holding your hand And together we can Face the black cloud Rain rain rain Rain rain rain Thunder and lightning There’s a black cloud Hanging over us Weighing down on us I can barely breathe But I’m not scared ‘Cause I’m holding your hand And together we can Face the black cloud Rain rain rain Rain rain rain Thunder and lightning There’s a black cloud And it passed us by There’s a blue sky Up above But I’m a little bit scared ‘Cause I can’t you find anywhere I think I might have lost you there Inside that black cloud Rain rain rain Rain rain rain Thunder and lightning There’s a black cloud Over everything I can’t think of anything That could make me smile And I’m officially scared ‘Cause I don’t ever think you’re coming back I think you got lost in that Black cloud

It's Amazing 02:30
lyrics

It’s amazing Amazing to me Isn’t funny how the time flies by Like an airplane up in the sky Until one day we all die Who knows When it will happen I’m not trying to be overly dark But when I think of you it’s kind of hard Not to imagine us In our backyard Sitting with your family It’s amazing Amazing to me We walked hand in hand to our last meal Hand in hand back down the hill I can see you in the rearview still I can see you wave It’s like a Monet I never set my expectations high And surely now you can understand why But to be honest You were my sky That’s why I know that it’s falling It’s amazing Amazing to me I know there’s nothing that I can say I know that it’d be better if I went away But I just can’t walk blind Into a brand new day And pretend we didn’t happen So please listen if you’re listening Our time together wasn’t someworthless fling The essence was the essence of everything Love Love So I’m sorry if I can’t let go Or if I blame you for my feeling low I’m worried that without you I will never again know Love Love It’s amazing Amazing to me Amazing to see

Forgot About Me 01:52
lyrics
buy track
There’s a house up on a hill somewhere Looking down upon a lake With a wisp of the evening air No temperature to take We were sitting on the same page Baby when we said goodbye Promises were made that day Promises to try But see when your world changed a little You changed a lot And you forgot about me I’ve been sitting so long Honey I can’t remember when I sat The mail doesn’t come until three I’ll probably get up for that Looking back is most The most dangerous game If I knew that you wouldn’t be here I wouldn’t have came But see when your world changed a little You changed a lot And you forgot about me You forgot about me Let me tell you ‘bout a party ‘Bout a super gay way to pass the time Look up your lover’s name on the internet See what you can find I’ve been down before I’ve been down for sure I slept on the floor And I didn’t wanna sleep there anymore But see when your world changed a little You changed a lot And you forgot about me You forgot about me You forgot about me

The Meanest Thing 02:58
lyrics

I’ve been waiting for your letter I’ll be waiting here forever Don’t think that I’m getting better Don’t think that I ever will The way you set me free Was the meanest thing Anyone Has ever done Ooo done to me Behind a lack of motivation Is underlying isolation And the resulting desperation Can’t be cured by any pill The way you set me free Was the meanest thing Anyone Has ever done Ooo done to me Time to time I think we all may tend Not to treasure all the time we spend Until the time comes for that time to end And what little memories we have just spill The way you set me free Was the meanest thing Anyone Has ever done Ooo done to me Ooo done to me Ooo done to me

Escape Artist 02:31

Houdini taught you well You slipped right out of your cell You didn’t even tell me you were Leaving Escape artist You vanished Gone without a trace Shapeshifter in disguise You slipped right out of my eyes After filling me with lies Of love Escape artist You vanished Gone without a trace So independent now Don’t need no one no how But i remember you on the couch Crying Escape artist You vanished Gone without a trace If I was a scientist I would want to research this Was it over before we kissed Goodbye Escape artist You vanished Gone without a trace I’d like to know how you feel What was fake and what was real But a good magician never reveals Her secrets Escape artist You vanished Gone without a trace Gone without a trace

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen. ... more
