Im standing on ocean of happiness 
I cannot baptize myself in 
As darkness descends 
I try to spread my wings 
Like a bat 
Scooping his neck back 
We call him night flyer 
Girl you are to me what a woman should be 
Time is a fragile flame 
As it crumbles in my hand 
And passes quickly to the ground
A new life is born 
The growth of time in memorial may be a new life hereafter 
I dedicate this song to that girl called joy
That I will never meet 
Even though I pray to the bottom of my heart that I will find joy I look into the mirror and only see sadness 
But slowly as the webs clear up arises the phoenix to rise again in richness and in triumph

This is a work in progress called Another Life. I wrote it in a moment of reflection — caught between shadows and hope, missing someone, and wishing for a brighter path ahead. I might re-record this and approach the vocals differently, but for now I wanted to share the raw draft. Thanks for listening and sitting with this while I figure out which songs to bring into the studio.

Lyrics:
’cause I just thought that I could
Withstand everything that you've thrown at me
Cause I'd like to dream about my life
Yeah everything that you've given to me up until this point

’cause darling I'm lost tonight
I wish I could find a star to guide me
Through those darkest of nights
Oh, I wish I could tell you this
That I'm running from my shadows
And we must coexist each night

Would you please just touch the sky for me
and tell me I'll be fine
All I want is to believe
that we are on our way to another life
Maybe one where we can be alive
’cause darling I miss you tonight
