[LYRICS]

So give me love or kill me
Don’t fade, don’t ghost — don’t will me
Don’t write me in, then strike me out
Don’t build me up to Jack and Jill me

You could’ve stayed, you could’ve healed me
Held me once, just to feel me
But all your vows were dressed in cold
Too late, too numb to thrill me

If I’m a ghost you left behind
Then nothing real could ever fill me
Still, I’d risk the fall and go in blind
Let sweet lovin’ fill me or kill me

I never asked for much — just stay
Keep it slow, just move to thrill me
I reached for more, you looked away
Still, your touch could always chill me

I braved the storms you left unnamed
Spoke my truth — you let it spill me
You walked off clean, I kept the flame
And every step you took could kill me

I held my breath with every test
Turned the heat up just to grill me
You called it love — I gave my best
Still left a hole too big to fill me

I crumbled quiet under weight
You saw the cracks, then tried to drill me
Each time I bent, you sealed my fate
Like therapy meant just to bill me

So give me love or kill me
Don’t fade, don’t ghost — don’t will me
Don’t write me in, then strike me out
Don’t build me up to Jack and Jill me

You could’ve stayed, you could’ve healed me
Held me once, just to feel me
But all your vows were dressed in cold
Too late, too numb to thrill me

If I’m a ghost you left behind
Then nothing real could ever fill me
Still, I’d risk the fall and go in blind
Let sweet lovin’ fill me or kill me

Fill me… or kill me… yeah…

Fill Me or Kill Me (Extended Version)

An uplifting fusion of heartfelt songwriting and driving rhythm, where cinematic emotion meets the pulse of the floor. Sparse, intimate verses open on piano and airy synth textures, gradually blooming into soaring choruses layered with harmonies, warm strings, and steady house-influenced grooves. Hope rises as the central thread—steady, unshaken—urging the listener forward no matter the unknown ahead. A track for late-night drives, sunrise moments, and anyone holding on to their spark.

[LYRICS]

If a small spark finds an empty room
Where one breath stirs, and light can bloom
Will it grow bright when it leaves my lips?
Or fall as light from my fingertips?

I never asked for crowns or praise
Just one true hand to join the blaze
I struck a spark, we let it fly
And watched it climb the midnight sky

Hope becomes my witness
Rises, and it shows
Still I will chase it anyway
No matter where it goes

I stand up tall beneath the weight
Of every dream I dare to state
Now hope calls out, our hearts awake
And every step is ours to take

No certain path, no steady hand
And still I take my stand

Hope becomes my witness
Rises, and it shows
Still I will chase it anyway
No matter where it goes
No matter where it goes

If a small spark finds an empty room…
I’ll sing it still
…till bright light blooms

No matter where it goes...
No matter where it goes.

No Matter Where It Goes - Hope Becomes My Witness (Dance Pop · Old-School House · Synthpop)

A slow-burning confession draped in smooth R&B textures and singer-songwriter honesty. Mercy on the Second Try blends retro soul warmth with modern adult contemporary polish, pairing intimate storytelling with velvet harmonies and restrained grooves. It’s a song for second chances, quiet reckonings, and the weight of love that may heal… or break again. Warm keys, understated bass, and a steady pulse leave space for the voice to ache, question, and linger. For late-night reflections when the heart is still deciding.

[LYRICS]

You came back home, gave a soft hello
Said the past was gone, we could let it go
But mercy burns ‘til the heat runs thin
Feels like faith… ’til it pulls you in

Mercy on the second try
Is it love, or just a lie?
Are your hands to lift me higher?
Or the ropes that pull me tighter?
Mercy on the second try
Feels like wings… or velvet ties

You talk like peace, but the ache won’t cease
Every word you drop leaves the same old crease
I reach for calm, but the night won’t sleep
You call it healing - I call it deep

Mercy on the second try
Is it love, or just a lie?
Are your hands to lift me higher?
Or the ropes that pull me tighter?
Mercy on the second try
Feels like wings… or velvet ties

Maybe love’s the risk we choose
When the heart can’t stand to lose
Or maybe it’s the sweetest dare
Pulls you close… then strips you bare

Mercy on the second try
Is it love, or just a lie?
Are your hands to keep me steady
Or the chains you think I’ll carry?
Mercy on these second tries
Feels like wings… or binding ties

You came back home, with that low, soft tone
But mercy cuts both ways… and now it’s known

Tell me now… was it love… or just a lie… baby?

Was it love… or just a lie…

[LYRICS]

[LYRICS]

The fire’s long gone… but the smoke won’t fade
Your touch still lingers… in the marks it made
Every wall… holds the same old view
Outlined in the ashes… in the shape of you

Ashes in the shape of you
No flame left, but the burn feels true
Every breath pulls the memory through
From the embers left… you’re all I knew

The clock still ticks… in the quiet air
But the hours fade… ’cause you’re not there
Every minute paints a darker hue
Trapping me in ashes… in the shape of you

Ashes in the shape of you
No flame left, but the burn feels true
Every breath pulls the memory through
From the embers left… you’re all I knew

Some fires drown… in the sudden rain
Some fade slow… yet the marks remain
I could sweep, but they’d break through
Only to be drawn again… in the shape of you

Ashes in the shape of you
No flame left, but the burn feels true
Every breath pulls the memory through
From the embers left… you’re all I knew

In the quiet… you come back too
In the ashes… shaped like you
In the ashes… shaped like you

[LYRICS]

Hold me when I am weak
Not when I am strong
See me when I’m lonely
When no one else around
You turn and look away
I struggle on my own
Tears burn in my eyes
Hope fading in da night
No way to treat a lover
Not friend or any other
I’m leaving all behind
Past no hold us still

Now no chains on me
Chains no hold my fire
Fire light my way
Way out of rain
Rain wash all my tears
Tears, make me strong
Now no weak in me
Much stronger

Now no chains on me
Chains no hold my fire
Fire light my way
Way out of rain
Rain wash all my tears
Tears, make me strong
Now no weak in me
Much stronger

I rise when day is new
No chain can pull me back
I dance away da sorrow
I leave it in da dust
No more your heavy shadow
No more your restless game
Light in my hands I’m holding
Da road mine now to claim
Past can’t hold me still
I’m breaking down the door
I run to da light ahead
And proclaim the road I tread

Now no chains on me
Chains no hold my fire
Fire light my way
Way out of rain
Rain wash all my tears
Tears, make me strong
Now no weak in me
Much stronger

Now no chains on me
Chains no hold my fire
Fire light my way
Way out of rain
Rain wash all my tears
Tears, make me strong
Now no weak in me
Much stronger

[LYRICS]

Feet find da ground, we go
Sun warm, da sky still glow
Step light, but heart beat strong
Carry mi soul along
Wind hum a soft refrain
We rise through joy an’ pain
Night fade, a brighter day
Lead mi, I find da way

Light shine on mi, mi rise
No shadow hold mi skies
Heart burn like steady flame
Each step, I call mi name
Chain break, mi spirit free
New road belong to mi
Rain fall, it wash mi clear
Mi voice, the world can hear

Eyes wide to see da sign
Mi hands reach, the world is mine
Drum beat inside mi chest
Guide mi to place of rest
Gold in da morning rain
Hope grow from every grain
Storm come, but mi still sway
Faith strong, mi find da way

We walk till sun go down
We still, we hear da sound
Of earth, of sky, of sea
It call, it set we free
Night come, we still gon’ glow
Our light, the whole world know
From deep, the spirit say
Walk on, you find da way

Light shine on mi, mi rise
No shadow hold mi skies
Heart burn like steady flame
Each step, I call mi name
Chain break, mi spirit free
New road belong to mi
Rain fall, it wash mi clear
Mi voice, the world can hear

[LYRICS]

Seconds will light the way
From when the night turns to day
Steps fall like beats on stone
Each one a road of its own
Moments you choose to keep
Grow into dreams while you sleep
Every turn that you take
Follows the moves that you make

Seconds are the beats that time our lives
Every tick a spark that keeps us alive
From the first light to the midnight skies
Seconds are the beats that time our lives

Breathe in the morning air
Let it unfold with care
Watch as the seasons turn
Take every beat to learn
Don’t try to hold it still
Let it shape what you will
Each drop in the flowing stream
Moves you closer to your dream

Seconds are the beats that time our lives
Every tick a spark that keeps us alive
From the first light to the midnight skies
Seconds are the beats that time our lives

Don’t let the rhythm fade away
It tells the story of our days
And when the final beat has played
It’s the heart that marks our stay

Seconds are the beats that time our lives
Every tick a spark that keeps us alive
From the first light to the midnight skies
Seconds are the beats that time our lives

Every second… …is a heartbeat.
Seconds… are the beats…

Warm Rhodes chords, deep bass, and restrained percussion set the stage for a female vocal that moves between intimacy and mystery. It’s the sound of moments that live between words — where truth is felt more than spoken — drawing the listener into a space that’s both tender and unresolved.

[LYRICS]

Light through the smoke
Slow on my skin
Breath finds the cracks
Where the night comes in

I could move
But I stay in place
Something in your eyes
I can’t erase

You’re the shadow in my still frame
Heat that hides inside the rain
Every line you cross, I keep
Some truths are better when they’re deep

Glass on the floor
No sound, no break
Your hands don’t ask
They just know what to take

I could speak
But the words would burn
Some doors close
But they still return

You’re the shadow in my still frame
Heat that hides inside the rain
Every line you cross, I keep
Some truths are better when they’re deep

bars] Every motion’s slow…
bars] Every breath’s a choice…
In the silence,
I still hear your voice

You’re the shadow in my still frame
Heat that hides inside the rain
Every line you cross, I keep
Some truths are better when they’re deep

Some truths…
Are better when they’re deep

In the Hush Between – A Slow-Burn Contemporary R&B, Neo-Soul & Retro Soul Reflection

There’s a stillness in Under My Quiet that feels familiar, yet something stirs beneath. Warm, soulful layers drift over a steady groove, carrying a voice that speaks softly but leaves echoes. It moves at its own pace, never rushing, letting each note breathe. The kind of song that lingers — not because it shouts, but because it says just enough.

[LYRICS]

Under my quiet… I’m still awake.
Under my quiet… I hold the weight.

Curtains move, the streetlights hum
Footsteps fade, but I don’t run
Hands stay warm, my breath stays slow
Not every fight is mine to show

I keep the fire where you can’t see
And that’s enough for me

Under my quiet, the ground is mine
Nothing can shake what I’ve designed
Storms can surround, but I won’t sway
Under my quiet, I’ll stay

Glass once broke, but I learned the sound
Found my steps on uneven ground
I don’t need light to know the way
Some truths don’t need to say

I keep the fire where you can’t see
And that’s enough for me

Under my quiet, the ground is mine
Nothing can shake what I’ve designed
Storms can surround, but I won’t sway
Under my quiet, I’ll stay

You’ll hear the echo when I choose to speak
But silence can carry what words can’t keep

Under my quiet, the ground is mine
Nothing can shake what I’ve designed
Storms can surround, but I won’t sway
Under my quiet, I’ll stay

Under my quiet…
I stay.

Under My Quiet - The Album’s Unexpected Pulse in Contemporary R&B and Retro Soul

I’ve always lived at the crossroads of music and poetry — where feeling becomes form, and melody turns memory into meaning. Whether it’s a lingering jazz note, a well-placed rhyme, or a shift in tempo that tells a deeper story, I’m drawn to that quiet magic where art reflects life with a little more style.

My roots are in classic music — the kind that doesn’t chase the moment but lingers with you long after the last note. Over time, that love expanded into poetry writing and jazz — especially the kind that swings, speaks, and smirks all at once. Jazz, to me, isn’t just a genre; it’s a personality. A conversation. A little tilt of the head and a grin that knows more than it says.

When I set out to create an album, it’s rarely just a collection of songs. I approach it like a personal playlist — one that drifts and flows as if the entire tracklist were one long, uninterrupted piece. Each track leans into the next, shifting mood, pace, or voice, but always carrying the same thread of feeling. I want you to listen the way I do — not as a shuffle of moments, but as a cinematic arc. One breath that lasts an hour.

Lyrically, my work is rooted in lived experience. Sometimes it’s obvious. Other times it’s just the skeleton of a memory, dressed up in wit, irony, or longing. I draw from real-life events, then let the poet in me twist, stretch, or sweeten them to taste. Depending on the tone of the album — playful, romantic, nostalgic, or something in between — I try to keep the emotional truth intact while giving it a fresh coat of creativity. A little humor where it fits. A deeper dive where it hurts.

My newest jazz album continues this tradition — short-lined swing tracks, conversational duets, and tongue-in-cheek storytelling. It’s an homage to late-night alleyway ballads, rooftop serenades, and train station goodbyes — all bound together with a sense of charm and cohesion. Each song is its own little scene, but together they tell a story — one you can revisit with each replay.

Thanks for stopping by my profile. I hope you find something that earns a spot on your repeat-play list — a melody, a lyric, or a moment that feels like it was written just for you.
