Trouble

My complete album "The Lake" (2014)

These are a collection of songs I've written that are really dear to my heart. The album talks about things I observed when I was in my teens, which I tried to express in the most genuine way possible. I chose to call it "The Lake" (My ocean is bluer than the heart you had to break, my sea is deeper than your lake) as a metaphor for the things that go on behind people's facades. I like the saying "You don't know me, you know of me", I learned that many people I thought to be a certain way, weren't like that at all.
We all have our reasons, but most of time all that happens behind closed doors.
But still there are these rare moments when you are able to see who a person really is. Prejudice & ignorance make us think we see how someone really is, but in reality there might be an ocean of thoughts, cravings, values & virtues behind the same eyes in which you used to see not more than a puddle of ideals. 
I believe our consciousness is really deep. Maybe so deep we cannot even see the ground. Maybe so overwhelmingly deep that we feel like drowning inside of our own sea of thoughts.

"You say you know just how I feel. Tell me 'bout days all tainted grey. But in the tiny pond you swim; you can see the bay ...
While is still swim." - (Neo Vega Grey Oceans)

When The Party's Over by Billie Eilish Cover

Always There

Counting ticks from the clock
It's a morning too modest

She's finding parts of my face
Funny looking and anxious

It's a cruel world before the eyes of these posh innocents
I would use her to stay alive if the ground were to bend

And baby pulls her hair for a Vicodin
She falls flat on the bed again
Mutters something about the end
While covering her eyes with both her hands

I on the other hand
I feel fine with the way I am
I awoke to her elegance
I’ve figured out a way to make amends

”Could you cut open all of my chest
I'm already too restless

Of course I'm feeling depressed
Find a way we could use it”

It's a cruel world before the eyes of these posh innocents
I would use her to stay alive if the ground were to bend

And baby pulls her hair for a Vicodin
She falls flat on the bed again
Mutters something about the end
While covering her eyes with both her hands

I on the other hand
I feel fine with the way I am
I awoke to her elegance
I’ve figured out a way to make amends

My my my
We’re pretenders
We’re beaming
We’re the signs of our time
My my
Oh whatever

And baby pulls her hair for a Vicodin
She falls flat on the bed again
Mutters something about the end
While covering her eyes with both her hands

I on the other hand
I feel fine with the way I am
I awoke to her elegance
I’ve figured out a way to make amends
