This is “Tragic.” - an instrumental album I wrote. This album was inspired by something that happened in my life that had a huge impact on me. I’ve had a lot of time to reflect, but I could never find the right words to express how I felt about it all. The only way I have been able to express it is now - through music. Those who are close to me will probably be able to figure out what this album is about. If you do decide to listen to it, let me know what you think. Thank you.

Special shoutout to Michael Jamar for providing a beautiful spoken word piece to the album.

LYRICS:
If you could imagine for just two seconds
Amenities that are produced from the affection
Of life, coursing through the blues of your veins
Sometimes you're not thankful 'til you're out, walking lame
Now, the fog has built, eroding hills crash through the gate
And you stood still, boarding up the windows of fate
In your mind, you think the weather will change
But nothing's gonna happen 'til you make the rearrangement
Your back could be bent, you will be spent from the work
You might trip and fall, but through it all, just wipe the dirt off your shirt
Clouds are falling down to the birch
And the pearl white walls cracked all over the church 
Give me one reason why I shouldn't be alarmed or scared
The only way to stay alive is through the sheer will to care
And to share the memories, the binaries of our complexion
Running through our hearts is desire to accept our reflection
If you want to push that back
Discarding any feedback of what you lack
Huddled in a pack, don't know jack
Stuck like a rat in your own little trap
Then listen to the calming sound of the world crumbling
It's almost parallel to your intellect fumbling
The ground shook, rumbling, you're too weak, stumbling
I hope that you found all of this humbling

Take a breather for a minute
Unless you feel that this is just nonsense that I'm spittin'
Drivel that I'm riffin', it's common in the sentence
Pretty sure I haven't drifted far from the pretense
But hey, what's it all mean to you?
Have I made the point clear enough to see the view
For what it is? Think back to when we're kids
Everything ahead of us for us to choose and live

A skip - glee, our life, free
A choice made, our eyes raised
A skip - glee, our life, free
A choice made, our eyes raised
