The Love Song for February Album Writing Month! Seventh track for the project, I wanted to drop this on Valentine's day for my girl. Sentimental and sickly sweet and vulnerable and honest and stuff.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
More or less a decade,
That I lost to my depression,
The bitter parts of me collapsed
To time and introspection.

I made mistakes and then I made
A bed down on the floor.
I opened up my scars and
Closed the door.

I cut you out and pushed away,
The people that could help me,
Figured I would save the pain and
Let them all down gently.

I'll keep the story short,
But in the end I always knew,
The one who waited for me,
Was you.

Pre-Chorus:
Yeah, you always bring me back,
To parking lots and cold parades.
Playing Daylight at your bedside,
Taking graveyard shifts at midnight.

Those sad and lonely kids,
Just sharing sad and lonely spaces.

Chorus:
Don't you know
You're good enough?
Cuz, babe these days, without you,
I'm missing all your pieces.

It's all I want,
To fall back in bed beside you.
I'll, once again, remind you,

That every single song
I try to write
Just ends up being about you,
And all my goddamn feelings,

But I never run,
If we can hide.
If we can hide.

Verse 2:
People say to stay in touch,
When they end their conversations,
As if pain can't find a way to write
The words to Good Vibrations.

You fake it in your smile,
And then you fake it in your heart,
And before you know it,
This is where you are.

All our talks were more than making
Quips about the weather,
All the bits and banter made each
Day a little better.

Letting the walls fall down a again,
It's easier with trust,
When the people we will always have
Are us.

Pre-Chorus 2:
Yeah, you always bring me back
To missing shortcuts just to wander.
Rolling dice and reading magazines,
Laughing at bad movie scenes.

Those lost and lucky kids,
Getting lost and lucky together.

Chorus:
Don't you know
You're good enough?
Cuz, babe these days, without you,
I'm missing all your pieces.

It's all I want,
To fall back in bed beside you.
I'll, once again, remind you,

That every single song
I try to write
Just ends up being about you,
And all my goddamn feelings,

But I never run,
If we can hide.
If we can hide.

Bridge:
Sittin' on the bridge
In the middle of the night,
When the party got a little too loud.

You'll never be a person
In the background,
No, you'll never be a
Face in the crowd.

It's hard to just be honest
When your head's a big mess,
But I never thought
My love could ever last long.

But then, I never had a person
In my life who ever made me wanna
Write a bunch of sappy
Little love songs.

Slippin' on the ice on
New Year's Eve,
Singin' in the Rain,
On a signpost.

Billy Joe struggling
On the chorus,
Better let the crowd
Sing the part with the high note.

I never had a friend who made
Me fall so far,
Never had a lover
Make me laugh hard.

Don't you know that all the
Little pieces of you,
They fit into the
Shape of my heart.

All your pieces.

All Your Pieces

soft song written in ~ 15 mins because if i don't do something creative i'm going to do something stupid like turn a fucking light on 🥰 been wanting to work on Sick but haven't felt well enough (isn't that ironic). thankful at least i got through fawm. then the first day of warm weather hit..... i am not not not not not ready for summer. 

(and yes ik i shouldn't be on my phone but i'm bored ☹️)

recorded as a one track one take on my phone 


lyrics: 

the medications aren't working 
my neurologist is at a loss 
i cover the glow of the buttons on my wheelchair 
every single light has its cost 

there's no comfortable position 
and no part that does not hurt 
i play midwife very softly and commiserate with the enemy 
every single sound has its cost 

c
i'm in the dark i'm in the dark 
i fall apart, my brain spills through my fingers 
i'm in the dark i'm in the dark 
i fall apart. postdrome, the pain still lingers 

i think i'm losing my mind 
sitting here alone in the dark 
the weed helps the nausea but i still want to pull my skull apart
every single movement has its cost

i read in 15 minute increments
then retreat to the depths of darkness 
and i am always talking to myself and there is nothing to quiet me and i was already slipping and now i'm sunk and 

c

b
pain of the brain 
migraine

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free 🖤❤️🤍💚


lyrics: 

the world

is sick 

the children

cannot live 

we watch through blood stained screens 

as we witness their screams 


cries for peace 

met with bombs 

bodies under debris 

no dignity 

we watch with blood stained hands 

as we witness the stolen land 


the mothers 

find their sons 

by shoes

no place to run 

we've watched through blood stained years 

but for those in power 

the end draws near

Blood Stained Shoes

Eyes of the Father

Billy’s Gorilla

Perfect

Obtuse

Janurary

The war, behind us

Arise

2 am acoustic one track one take session about some shit that just will not! leave me! the fuck! alone! wrote the lyrics & decided to just wing it on the melody. a cathartic 13 minutes. 

trying to figure out where my vocals are after a few months of mostly being on rest cause of all the surgery n shit :/ want to try to get back to where i was before 50/90 rolls around so i dont have to worry about breaking myself again when i cant seem to do anything except write and sing and write and sing and write and..... yk the drill. looking forward to it

lyrics:
flesh forsaken 

apostate 

resolution 

no way to stay 

desperation 

fallen state 


i pray 

take it all away 



of his body

of his blood 

watch it run 

down my face 

bent to mercy 

bent to stay 


so i pray 

take it all away 


resurrection 

skin under my nails 

witness 

no way to say 

consecration 

his will prevail 

still i pray 

take it all away 




dripping down 

life of death 

bitter herb 

sour breath 

sorrows counted 

more than stars 

lowly one 

taken for woe 


{think i kinda went rogue at this point hopefully these are close lol} 

i pray 

take it all away 

his blood

will wash it all away 

his blood 

wash me all away 

wash me all away 

i don't want to stay 

his blood will

wash me all away

please don't make me 

stay

His Will Prevail (demo)

Singer/songwriter from Canada. I have a few other pages (some I lost access to), but this one is for my main projects. I make no presumptions with genres, so I'll go with "Indie Rock Artist", which, yeah, is the most indie thing you can say. Music is Life, Happiness, Creativity, yada yada yada. Can't live without it. Hope you at least mildly enjoy what I love making!
