"Recharge" is an album I've recorded during the pandemic. Most of it was recorded in February '22, when I took the month off of work to focus on music.

This album features a lot of collaborations with other musicians I found on Reddit in subreddits like /r/NeedVocals.

If you enjoy making this kind of music, and would like to collaborate, let's talk!

Recharge

You two look so good
Just the way you should 
Could the groom please take my hand
Just one dance

Dressing for myself
And nobody else
Feel like it's my chance to confess

My hair is scented rose
Like the day when you propose
But sadly I said no
I'm sorry

With her you get along
Your vows do lifelong
And for that I'll leave at dawn

I don't need a man
I don't need a chance
I'm happy for you're moment
To see you be excited
I put my high heels on
I'm free when I'm alone
Congrats on your first wedding
Best wishes to your marriage
I really should go home

Don't mean to be rude
But I don't feel so good
I've come to flatter you
But maybe

I couldn't get it through
I saw the ring, she showed me too
The same gem I saw last June
When you were on your knees

My dress is satin gold
Like the day when you propose
But sadly I said no
I'm sorry

It's time to let you go
Just like you when I went home
And for that I'll leave at dawn
So slowly

I don't need a man
I don't need a chance
I'm happy for you're moment
To see you be excited
I put my high heels on
I'm free when I'm alone
Congrats on your first wedding
Best wishes to your marriage
I really should go home

pov: you're watching your ex get married

Became what we once feared
Slowly we turn the gears

Lifeless we own what we once shared
A turn of light begins to tear
A moment left is all we have
to set things right

Turning to black
You’re gone and I’m nothing
Your face sinking in like it’s rotting in the grave

Lie awake
Nothing to save

Tortured by the thoughts
Of everything ending
No way to stop what’s coming next

Fading daylight rests upon
Our weary eyes struggle to move on
Fading moonlight sleeps within
Open our eyes to begin

When the light dies so do I

Gone

Bleeding
Suffering
Lifeless
Sewn to grave

Lifeless we own what we once shared
A turn of light begins to tear
A moment left is all we have
to set things right

Turn to black
You’re gone and I’m nothing
You’re mine to save with all I have

Lie awake
Nothing to save
Stay awake
You’re mine to save

I'm not going to over-think this
Try to have a little fun
And if my mind gets in the way, that's okay
I'll just keep trying

Shouldn't have to tell me that this is what it's all about
You shouldn't need to tell me that it's these moments we're living in

Stop.
Tell me what do you think?
I want to know what you're thinking.
Stop.
I imagine every kind of thing.

There's a voice inside my
Telling me that I could be enough but
It only matters if you're going to try

I'm not going to over-think this
Try to have a little fun
And if my mind gets in the way, that's okay
I'll just keep trying

Shouldn't have to tell me that this is what it's all about
You shouldn't need to tell me that it's these moments we're living in

Sit with the thoughts and feel what you're feeling now
Don't run away; don't try to explain
I can't lie and say that I've got it all figured out
I won't try pretend that I get it all right
I don't even know if I'm even in the right this time
but I'm going to try to live life

I'm not Going to Overthink This (feat. Cedric Dhaenens)

"She Said"

How'd we get this way?
I'll never know
I've tried to reconstruct and think of things that I could have changed
But I think that there's no way to win that game

Given what we know about each other
What the hell was running through our heads?
I hope you're happier now
If no other good thing comes from this

You can't fix this thing by running away
The things inside always come along
There's just somethings you're always going to take
No matter where you go
You turn around, and there you are

So what were we thinking?
What was running through our heads?
I hope you're happier now
If no other good thing comes from this

Rock bottom dropped out
With no where left to turn
Throw out the thunder and the sun
And wrestle with the lessons that we've learned

The words you said bounce around in my mind
Even after all this time, I can't let them go
I hope you're happier now,
If no other good thing comes

She Said (feat. Cedric Dhaenens)

"You and I"

You want to know
You need to know this

Harder to look back
Damn this hindsight

Sometimes things can end before they've even started
You and I
There's no solution for a broken heart but time

I want to tell you something I know
I want to tell you
After I've thought about it, I realize I want to tell you

There's a guilt I've felt
I picked it up on my way out
I know it doesn't help you
But even so, I can't shake it

I watched you fall in and I didn't stop it

Sometimes things can end before they've even started
You and I
There's no solution for a broken heart but time

You and I (feat. Mark Miller)

CHOKKTAW – Reflections (feat. Brian Vaughn)
(Future Bass)
August 2022

Lyrics:
Circling the earth again (ooh)
I'm upside down (ooh)
Ride along and make a wish
And the first star you see
Is a satellite

Love is in the air around us
Love is everywhere you are
Breathing in again
Trying to experience
Everything about it
Everything about your love (pulls me under)

A dim reflection of your light
I set my fear aside

Love
in the air around us
Love
everywhere you are
 
All the way, all the way
All the way we go
All the way (5x)
Everything about your love
Pulls me under

Hey love
You're a blazing sun
And I'm
A dim refleciton of your light
Hey love (hey love)
I set my fear aside (set my fear aside)
I am a satellite
And your gravity
Pulls me under

Love
in the air around us
Love
everywhere you are
 
All the way, all the way
All the way we go
All the way (5x)
Everything about your love
Pulls me under

A dim reflection of your light

Reflections (feat. Brian Vaughn)

Nervous

Brian and I both like this old Iris album (Wrath) so we figured we'd cover a song from it.

Appetite (IRIS Cover)

I had a lot of fun with this amazing song from Brian. I wanted to get myself out of a rut that was self imposed. His amazing voice and well developed tracks allowed me to explore my imagination and develop a completely unique experience. I only manipulated what was there, I did not add anything. I hope you enjoy:

There wasn't a me before you.
There wasn't a time or place.
Everything is easier when you're looking back,
But even so.
Damn.
I didn't see it.

Forget my name.
Who cares?
Just say you didn't want it.
I just can't see any way out of this place.
I can hold my breath for days.
But where should the air in my lungs come from?

You kept these secrets from me.
I didn't know anything.
For the last few months, I thought that something might be wrong.
I even asked you about.
But damn.
I don't believe it.

Now that this is in the open, what becomes of me?
I can pretend to be strong.
I can pretend to be okay.
But not for you.

You took it all from me, and you don't even feel bad about it.
From what I see, you don't even feel bad about it.

Damn (feat. Ken Wheeler)

"You Know Me Better"

You know me better than I know myself.

You brought me the sky.
Told me to look up.
You carried us to the sea and set me beside it.
You taught me emotions could be okay as long as there's a gentle heart that beats behind them.

I ran my own race because that's what I do.
I lied to myself, and I guess to you.
Woke up in a city I don't recognize, and you're gone.

You know me better than I know myself.

I thought about you a lot in the past few days.
The California sky is just another thing that reminds me that everything can change.
And sometimes that's okay.
Either way, it's change.

There's no regret.
There's too many little things.
I don't even know how I'd begin to organize.
Just lean out the window on a cold cold morning and say...

You know me better than I know myself.

I know me well, but you know me better.
You know what's best.
You know me better than I know myself.

You are a part of me.
You know me better than I know myself.

You Know Me Better

"Tonighgt"

Where should I go tonight?
Should I follow my heart?
I want to go to wherever you have been waiting.
If I run too fast at the first sign, maybe you'll break my heart.
It's just the way you are.
You fascinate me.

Here I am, returned again, after all this time has passed.
Here I am, still wondering– an image of you still stuck in my mind.
Every day, in your place, just a memory of where we've been.

Where should I go tonight?
Should I follow my heart?
I want to go to wherever you have been waiting.
If I run too fast at the first sign, maybe you'll break my heart.
It's just the way you are.
You fascinate me.

I see the stars, the midnight sky, and I know that's where you are.
You should be here with me.
Take this feeling back where it came.
I see the stars lifted high.
Let the sirens call.
I fall back to the space in my mind.

Where should I go tonight?
Should I follow my heart?
I want to go to wherever you have been waiting.
If I run too fast at the first sign, maybe you'll break my heart.
It's just the way you are.
You fascinate me.

Should I follow you?
Where should I go?
Should I follow you? (Should I follow?)
Midnight has been calling.
Lifted high.

Tonight (feat. Viperdrive)
