This mixtape/Album is called Honestly. That doesn't mean that everything I say will be perfectly straight forward or anything like that. It's all real, it's all honest, every word has it's own truth; some have multiple. I wrote each song on here in the span of about a month while trying to find my musical identity. It's still not totally centered, but definitely getting there. I had to figure out what kind of artist do I want to be? Everything I made with The American Boys was fun, pretty cool music; but I didn't want to get pidgin holed into making songs like that. I want to make songs that really a piece of me. Songs that you don't have to meet me to know me, just the honest truth of who I am. The vibe may be somewhat scattered at times, yes. But it's the result of my emotions at each specific time; which, as we all know, can change quickly and without warning. I've always been honest with my music. This isn't much of a change from that except that I haven't held back what I've written about this time. It's always been honest, but on this tape I've expressed my thoughts and emotions and not held back at all. I even expressed my political opinions in a few tracks as well. Much of the tape is focused on society and the problems that result from me being different than many of my peers. I question things, and go into detail about my thoughts and opinions of them. Each thought is honest. Enjoy.

Lyrics:

I walk outside to see the weather hasn’t changed
Can’t remember a time when it was anything but grey
But I know
One day those clouds will pass
Before the last sands fill the hour glass
I’ll make each one of em last
The good times and the bad
The happy and the sad
The silences and laughs and all the good times that I have
How often I still miss em
Distracting myself
From the fact that I still live them
Can’t get myself to listen
Can’t get myself to see
That now becomes my memories
By the time I go to sleep it could
All be a dream
So what’s the fucking point?
If happiness is a choice
Why can’t I seem to choose it?
Everyday keeps getting ruined
No wounds that don’t need soothing
Whether it’s scarring or bruising
It seems to me
There’s no permanent solution
Guess that’s the part
That I seem to be missing
You don’t choose to have the scars
You just choose to live with em

I love this life
With all my heart
Somedays it feels
Like I’m falling apart 
I know
I’m still holding on

5 pm, the world is silent
Walking along, the weather turns vibrant
Everything’s okay now it seems
Walked upside down from out a dream
Feel pavement and not a balance beam
Changing often and rapidly
When I first set out from my front door
Didn’t ever really think what was in store
Couldn’t see for more than a mile
Couldn’t see through the eyes of a child
Briefly it seems
Forgot who I used to be
Every little detail
Feels like news to me
Wish I could meet that little kid
Who so foolishly
Looked at his life as an endless thing
Spent his time and never kept the receipt
What a life that seems to me
Guess that’s how it seems to be
Smile at the past
And live for the future
You got one life and you don’t get to choose first

Holding My Head Up

Chorus:
I know this album’s gettin kinda heavy
I can feel it in my bones
It’s not what I intended, oh no
And it feels like my back’s to the wall
I’m not in control

Verse 1:
Everybody’s doubting me
Honestly, I don’t give a fuck
Whatchu know about me?
I promise that it ain’t enough
Everyday is spent
Weighing my rights and my wrongs
Tryna maintain the person
That I write about in songs
I can’t change fate I can only delay it
I can’t change the past, I can only replay it
So here I sit
Having visions of both
Eyes wide open like I’ve just seen a ghost
Maybe I have, maybe I have
Maybe I haven’t
I just wanna be average
I just wanna be like you
Feel like I missed the chance
Fell right outta my hands
Oh no…

Chorus x2

Chorus 2:
Someday
Man, I wanna be happy
Take the life I have and accept it gladly
Maybe I can go and find my own way
Maybe I just maybe I just wanna be okay

Verse 2
Back in my patterns 
Once my shadow has left
I guess the fact of the matter is 
I cannot get rest
I guess I can’t close my eyes and let it all fade
Cause the gears still turn
In the depths of my brain
And I just can’t fucking
Defend my own thoughts
If I could I’d see the worth versus the cost
But I guess I do see it
I just disguise it and hide it
As just another sip
And let the worries leave my mind
As the glass touches lips
