Snow Still Brings the Cold

lyrics:
The doctor says I shouldn’t worry
But the news tells me something else
Everybody’s going crazy
It’s like the world is standing still

What if it’s only you and me left over
Watching all the colors fade
We’ll run out of funny things to say
So we drink the time away

It’s all right it’s allright
Imma stay inside tonight
It's allright allright
I don’t mind I don’t mind
Staying inside tonight
I’m allright it’s allright

Once had a dream bout the apocalypse
It really changed the frame
Certainty is never certain now
So we wait until another day

lyrics:
i finally feel i finally feel
I found my place to be
with two in one bed drinking what’s left
i finally feel, just like the rest

i never believed in jesus christ
but we’re all looking with the same eyes
looking for feelings, looking for love
find out what’s inside inside your heart

let me tell you something ‘bout the way i felt before
wasn’t easy, wasn’t going, wasn’t in control
let me tell you something ‘bout the way i felt before

cold eyes in the darkness
looking to find what’s honest
cold lies in the darkness
i was looking for you
cold eyes in the darkness
looking to find what’s honest
cold lies in the darkness
i was looking for you in the dark

i’m waking up next to the bottle
that’s when i knew, i was in trouble
you took me in, we made a promise
only happy, only honest
you made me laugh, we made a promise

let me tell you something ‘bout the way i felt before
wasn’t easy, wasn’t going, wasn’t in control
let me tell you something ‘bout the way i felt before

cold eyes in the darkness
looking to find what’s honest
cold lies in the darkness
i was looking for you
cold eyes in the darkness
looking to find what’s honest
cold lies in the darkness
i was looking for you in the dark

I finally see i finally see
And it is right here next to me

Cold Eyes (#2)

lyrics:
It’s the aching beauty
It’s the pain and regret
It’s the words you gave me
On the day we met

Now my words are empty
Like a far-away vision
And I try to forget it
I am smiling through the tears

As I stand in the moment
I see millionaires float
They got nothing to say no
They just sign and they swallow

I am blessed with the moments
I am bad, drinking coma
Wash your hands ‘till it’s over
We were friends, now we’re older

 Lonely days will come
I’ll see you when it’s done

I have to see it with my own eyes
No surprise 
No more lies
I know we’re not leaving
 I have to see it with my own eyes
No surprise 
No more lies
I just can’t believe it

I hear the violins play
It’s been a long time
Pour me some red wine

Lonely Days Will Come (#3)

I wrote this song over a year ago (late 2018) as I was sitting in my car, talking to God and looking out the window, unable to shake this crippling anxiety. Out of nowhere, or rather, out of that conversation with Him, these words and melody just came out: "Right now, I know I'm here with You." So this song was born.

Anxiety has marked a good portion of my life. And while Jesus Christ holds my life and my heart, there are moments where recalling what is true and beautiful just doesn't sink in. So, singing what is true works to call my emotions and heart to resonate, to settle, and acts like this lifeline to grab hold of in chaotic waters to pull me back into equilibrium, into belief. And there's this peace from the Spirit of God "greater than all understanding" to guard me in it. That's what this song is for 🖤

This is just a one-take iPhone demo in a room with nice acoustics, for now :)

Lyrics:
Right now, are You here with me?
Because the quiet is deafening so
I'll let music move my heart to sing a song 
Of what is true, I'm never far from You
And what You gave I'll never lose
So I'll believe that You are good
And Your love is stronger still

So will you sing over my heart and hold me now? 
Oh Spirit come and move like only You know how 
Oh will You come and overwhelm me with your peace so profound
Yet somehow it's still the simplest sound

Right now, I know I'm here with you
But I'm anxious and confused so
I'll let music move my heart to sing this song
Of what is true, I'm safe and I'm with You
And what you gave I'll never lose
So I'll remember how You comfort me
And always will

Simplest Sound (Prayer For Anxiety)

lyrics:
FaceTime™
It’s time we, face time
Lonely
 Watching movies on my phoney 
So call me
And show me what you wear today

Cuz I can’t see the beauty of it all
 Can’t see the beauty of it all

Springtime
It’s time we, spring time
 And I call you mine
But why aren’t you around all time 
Doesn’t make me smile

Sunset
I’m feeling the sun set
Phone out 
Watch as if it is the final time 
that you see it go down

  I’ll have the beauty of it all 
The beauty of it all
locked and all alone

I am terribly out of hand
I am waiting for this to end
 I am running from end to end
I lost something I don’t understand

lyrics:
I can hear the church bell ringing 12
I beg a pardon to myself
'cuz I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have to

I would be flying ‘cross land and above the sea
I would feel the ground slipping under me
I guess that you don’t choose what you win or you lose

It’s coming closer
But we’re not flying up

Can we talk about it
Time is not on my side
Can we walk around it
Let these weeks fly by
Can we talk about it
Time is not on my side
And I’m worried tonight

Feeling the chances slip away
Like sand slipping through my fingers
Don’t know how else I could save the day

I’m in the garden digging weeds
Look how my magnolia blooms
There’s nobody left, playing in the streets

It's coming closer
But we're not flying up

Can we talk about it
Time is not on my side
Can we walk around it
Leave these wounds behind

Can We Talk About It? (#5)

lyrics:
Oh up in these mountains, I can 
Hear the wolves howl, I can
 Watch the eagles drifting by
I can almost touch the cloudless sky

Oh up in these mountains, I feel 
Far away from home, I feel
 Far away from all I’ve ever known (known)

Oh up in these mountains, this is my retreat
 This is what I’ve worked for, this is what I need 
& I’ll come climbing up so don’t break me down 

Oh up in these mountains, every step
 Every step gets harder, oh I’m left
With me & my mind, in difficult times

 The sky turned red when I got above the clouds
Of Galileo Galilei 
Oh what a shame I’m leaving here today

Up in these mountains I once
I once got lost, and I once
Learned to wander and I
Learned to love another
X2

Oh I’m lost but I’m moving on
Oh there’s not a rule that’s unbreakable

The sky turned red when I got above the clouds
Of Galileo Galilei 
Oh what a shame I’m leaving here today
