Alright I woke up with a head rush
In my bed 
Is that alright?
Head up mind off
Is that okay?
Got outside  
Just to hollow out 
My shell
Oh I gotta leave on
I better hold my breath

Sentimental to a strange time 
Holdin' me down 
I found peace on the couch
Only problem was a short ride away from your house
Fell in love with the feeling of hiding out on you too much
Gotta mend my days
Ain’t no pace I can’t roll

How will I last with the life I know 
With the life we chose?
I’m gonna walk with the step I know
Oh I call that home 

Post
All on you 
Oh I’ll save us 
Boy are you wasting time 
Point of view 
All our mistakes blur
Oh and I love that part 

Talk out so I know you’re breathing 
All out of speakin'
Hidin' your own mind
For now your only engagement’s 
What you know is waiting 
For you on the outside 

How’d all of my breathing go tired?
How’d all of my head get rewired?
For a change I know it’s best 
I coulda left New Orleans fast 
Told my head to rest
Lived on through the feeling
Oh I deal with

How will I last with the life I know 
With the life we chose?
I’m gonna walk with the step I know
Oh I call that home 

All on you 
Oh I’ll save us 
Boy are you wasting time 
Point of view 
All our mistakes blur
Oh and I love that part 

Part 
Oh all on you 
Ooo oooo
All on you

Well you
Walk with no insight
Walk with no chance of knowing where you’ll go
But I don’t mind
Cause that’s why I take this road

And home
Chases my blood round
And curls up my ears now
With every other smile
Oh I push my shame down
But we don’t mind

Under my skin
Where you hide
Tearing me apart
One piece at a time
Walk in the shadow
Of my own pride

So I’ll wait
Wait for my high to fall
And wait for your word to call
Oh with every other smile
Propped up in alcohol
You said it’s fine

So where is my love
If you’ve got it tangled up
With poisoned and angered blood
When I feel you creeping in
That’s when I give it all away
Take my voice and my name

Under my skin
Where you hide
Tearing me apart
One piece at a time
Walk in the shadow
Of my own pride

Under my skin
Is where you hide
Tearing me apart
One piece at a time
Walk in the shadow
Of my own pride

Stalling out 
On the streetcar tracks 
Could I make it to Biloxi
And back 
And I will wait  
To call you now
Till I got a good thing to talk about

And several hours
Out of our hometown 
With a lightning strike
Shaking the highway around
Could we stay put?
Or turn back now?
I should’ve known

If I wait 
Till I’m alone
To send my love
Then a good thing’s gone 
Then a good thing’s gone 

And I drive fast
To cancel out
The 2 to 3 hours
It takes to leave the house
Talking alone
To an empty room 

Oh I should’ve known 
We’ll both take 
Two more months 
To respond
Till a good thing’s gone 
Till a good thing’s gone

It feels wrong to know you now
But there ain’t one thing changed
Since I last came around 
And I can’t stand to watch from afar
Makes it harder on me
To know where you are
For every day we spend together there’s sixty apart

All around us 
Like an atlas 
She calls me home
Between the silence
Surrounds us 
And calls me home 

And I 
Wanna reach out
Wanna call you 
And let you know 
I’ll make 
The trek love
In an instant 
I'm not alone

Endurance

Just One Break (feat. Mon Rovîa)

Speak Too Soon (feat. Hans Williams)

This song lives in the space between a knock and an open door.

It’s about the moment when words aren’t needed when a parent can see, just by looking, that something has changed. Not just a visit, but a return. Not just a man standing there, but a son who’s finally listening again.

When the Wind Remembers is less about memory and more about recognition. The wind doesn’t speak in sentences it moves through feeling, through instinct, through the kind of knowing that passes down long before it’s ever understood.

This song marks the quiet turning point of the story.
No speeches. No forgiveness required.
Just two souls recognizing that the path has led back home.

Some things don’t have to be said.
The wind remembers for us.

[Verse 1]
I hadn’t even knocked
The gravel still settling behind my feet
When the old front door creaked open
Like it somehow knew my heartbeat.

Dad stood there in the porch light
Hands steady, shoulders worn by years
And in the quiet between us
I felt my whole life disappear

[Pre-Chorus]
No words, no welcome home
No questions where I’d been
Just a father reading truth
Beneath my skin

[Chorus]
And he knew
Lord, he knew before I spoke a sound
He saw the man I’d carried
Finally putting all that weight down
In one look, he saw the road
That had twisted me too long
And he knew his son wasn’t just visiting
He was home
He was home

[Verse 2]
His eyes softened like he’d waited
Through a thousand silent nights
Like every prayer he whispered
Found its home in fading light

I tried to play it steady,
Like a grown man standing tall
But something in his knowing
Made the armor start to fall

[Pre-Chorus 2]
He didn’t say I missed you
He didn’t have to try
The wind itself fell quiet
When my father met my eyes

[Chorus]
And he knew
Lord, he knew what I couldn’t understand
That the land had called me back
long before my feet touched this land
In that doorway, in that twilight
In that breath between our bones
He knew his son wasn’t just visiting
He was home
He was home

[Bridge]
Maybe fathers see the truth
Before the world gives it a name
Maybe home is not a place
But the one who whispers who you’ve been

[Final Chorus]
And he knew
In the quiet where the past and present meet
He saw the boy he raised returning
In the man before his feet.
No speeches, no forgiveness
Just a heart that finally found its own

He knew his son wasn’t just visiting
He was home.
He was home.

My Fathers Doorway

Peaks and Valleys is a reverent Appalachian folk gospel ballad that traces a pilgrim’s journey through sorrow, faith, and quiet resolve. Rooted in themes of wandering, trust, and returning home, the song reflects a man walking through life’s lowest places while holding fast to hope. With stripped-down imagery and hymn-like cadence, it speaks of faith forged in valleys and a promise that carries him toward eternal light.
