🎵 Lyrics Highlight:
VERSE 1
I’m sitting at the table
Feeling so alone
I thought it would get better
Being fully grown
Faces that should soothe me
Look right through my soul
I’m screaming on the inside
But I feel no console

As plates get passed around
I’m trapped in silent sorrow
Smiles and conversations begin
But all I feel is hollow
Will someone ask how I’ve been
Or care about my struggles
Or am I just invisible 
Buried in the rubble

CHORUS
Silent screams echo in this room
We're drowning in words we can't consume
Masks of normalcy hide our scars
But beneath the surface, we're falling apart
Can anyone see through these walls we've built?
Or are we all trapped in our own guilt?
We're crying out for someone to hear
But our voices are lost in unspoken fear

VERSE 2
While the man who caused distress
Vanished a decade ago
The family's wounds still fester
Beneath our calm facade's glow

We smile and pretend it's okay
Behind this fragile facade
In roles that we daily portray
Lies pain that will simply not fade

Until one day, a word misplaced
Ignites a hidden mine
And all the grief we thought erased
Proves we all aren’t fine
BRIDGE
Then a spark of honesty
Lights a path to empathy
Themes we buried deep inside
Start to surface, we even cry

As we face what we've concealed
Cracks in our facade are revealed
Though the journey may be long
We each find where we belong

In the echoes of our pain
There's a chance to start again
If we dare to speak aloud

Alone at the Table

Alone At The Table

Verse 1
When I was young I believed
I could be anything I conceived
This idea drove my life
I’d be an artist with a house and wife

I’d stay young whatever my age
Full of hope and never change
I’d be strong and break the norms
I would never dare conform

Then I got old life started moving fast
Got to get to work, got to make some cash
No time now to be a superhero
I just need to get to inbox zero

What is this reality
All these new responsibilities  
Going to all these social events
Talking about bonds and the president

Pre-Chorus
So there I was at twenty two
I had no clue what to do
Losing my own identity 
Boiling with anxiety
CHORUS
Oh no
What’s happening to me?
I’ve started conforming to society

Am I dead?
Is this in my head
I wake up in the morning and I just feel dread

VERSE 2
Flash forward now, I’m twenty nine
I’m convinced I’m doing just fine
Those old dreams, they weren’t me
I prefer now to stay busy

Then I got this sinking feeling
Maybe my life had no purpose or meaning 
What if I was nothing special
My corporate job was non essential
Pre-Chorus
Sure I was older just more confused
I had no clue what to do
Losing my own identity
Boiling with anxiety
CHORUS
Oh no
What happened to me?
I’ve lost myself to society

Am I dead?
Is this in my head
I wake up in the morning and I just feel dread
BRIDGE
I realized that I felt alone
I felt so lost in life's unknown
No longer could I hide
That I had let my own dreams die

I swore that night
To make things right
To hear my soul
To seek a path to becoming whole
FINAL CHORUS
Hello
Is this really me
I now know who I need to be
I’m not dead,
That was all in my head
I wake up in the morning and I jump out of bed

Getting Old or Letting Go?

VERSE 1
It’s late at night 
I’m all settled in
You come over nudge my shin
It’s nighttime 
You know what that means?
There’s creatures outside, hiding unseen.

I get up and walk to the door
That’s what you’ve been waiting for
I swing it open. You run into the night
Barking out you all ready for a fight?
CHORUS
Run Eddie, don’t look back
Maybe tonight you’ll catch that cat
You might be old but you’re full of energy
Moving through the yard careless and free
VERSE 2
For fifteen years you’ll do this trick
Even as you get old and sick
You’ll run around the same old tree
Having one more  victory 
CHORUS
Run Eddie, don’t look back
Maybe tonight you’ll catch that cat
You might be old but you’re full of energy
Moving through the yard careless and free
BRIDGE
It’s been some time since you’ve been gone 
I stand outside alone in the lawn
In a new place far away
From our house back in the bay

I hope one day when I die
You’ll once more be right by my side
Free from this earth we will fly
And chase the creatures in the sky

Run Eddie Run

It all started with a dog named Eddie — a scruffy little guy kids swore looked like a real-life teddy bear. When he passed in 2020, I brought his spirit back as a 3D bear: playful, honest, and the other half of me.

In A Teddy Named Eddie, we tell true stories from my life through pop punk riffs, alt rock hooks, and early 2000s nostalgia. Sometimes I’m in his world; sometimes he’s in mine. Always cinematic, always full of heart, and always a little magical.
