I wrote this song in 2019 on an Ipad using Garageband. This song is all about mental illness, and the struggle someone endures in the dark that may not be clear to those among them, near or far; so it means a great deal to me. 

In the past 3 years I've been progressively diving more and more into production, so this is also a testament to how much progress I've made over that time. 

To whoever finds this, I wish you well, and hope that you're doing okay. If you're not, reach out and talk to somebody, anybody. You're worth it.

If You Only Knew

Here is my second installment under my solo project "Venus State of Mind" that is also my entry for the Trey Xavier 2022 song writing contest. I didn't want to drag this song out to let the elements portray a bit of haste and anxiousness to go with this songs message, so its on the shorter side in hopes that the energy can only increase throughout. 

I hope this song finds you well as always, thanks for taking the time to listen.

Lyrics :

Why do I feel like I need to put on a new face,
Every time I step outside,
Nervous and out of place,
Stuck in my crowded mind,
Now look in my fucking eyes,
You won't notice a damn thing,
I can't contain it.
I swear (I swear),
My intentions are good past the stimulation,
I swear,
I don't hate you,
It's just too much to take.

Won't you take my breath away,
Cause I can't seem to find my way,
Through this trying phase,
If only I could fly away,
But what's the use in broken wings,
If I just fall to waste.

My mind has me feeling deaf,
Harder to ease all the stress,
I hope I can decompress and just rest,
Cause when I lay down to sleep,
I can't seem to dream,
about any better days than these.
I swear I want to leave this all behind.

Won't you take my breath away,
Cause I can't seem to find my way,
Through this trying phase,
If only I could fly away,
But what's the use in broken wings,
If I just fall to waste.

Won't you take my breath away,
Won't you take it all away.
