Song told from the perspective of a wallflower.



LYRICS:
I can't help it, I adore you
Might sound selfish but I can't ignore you
My heart's been through some wars that brain can't fight through
If I washed up on your shore, would that finally ignite you?

And when I try to sleep it eats at me
Because I see you with the better me
And when I finally dream, it's clear to me
That you should be my beauty queen

If I walked a little taller, would that aid in your decision?
Maybe if I spoke more directly, with pinpoint precision?
I wish had the answers, like the teacher edition
You are my solution, my problem, my life story's omission

Honestly, you don't seem into me
But if I'm your king, and you're my queen, we're royalty
I can't hide it no more, we're meant to be
And you should be my beauty queen
You should be my beauty queen
Yeah you should be my beauty queen

Beauty Queen

Song about wanting to go back in time to mend a relationship that never had the opportunity to start on the right foot.

LYRICS:
I must admit I
Was not fit for
Relationships but it is time
For me to work it out
All the years of d-d-doubt
What's it all about?

Independence is
Nice but it does
Not fill the void night after night
When you sleep alone
No one on the phone
To give a dog a bone

It's not you, it's not you, it's me
I know that you've heard that before
It's a personal tyranny
I swear I'm not waging a war
On you
Slam the door if you want to
It might be what you have to do

And I can't blame you
'Cause I've contained you for too long
You thought that I was strong
While I was stringing you along

Pair of triangles
Are facing left
Can I rewind to find the time
Of the specific breath
Where you became bereft?
'Cause I can't recollect

I wanna try again
The battle lies within
Can I take it on the chin?
Your patience wearing thin
I wanna be with you
The mirror hid the truth

Two Triangles

This song explores the duality of the evil (anxiety/depression) and good (meditation/self-reflection) voices in your head that can arise when you are consumed with your own thoughts or need to temporarily escape the real world.

LYRICS
My feet are grounded
My mind surrounded
By planets that have not been founded

Played it by the book
Moved in straight lines like a rook
But see craters if you magnify your look

Good life on paper
Solid as vapor
Anxiety too difficult to taper

 Out of orbit
Too stubborn to absorb it
Subservient to external
 forces

You thought I was a good kind, didn't you?
No we're the aliens that bully and belittle you
The fourth kind...that'll play you like the fiddle, rude
Make the world's tallest man feel like a little dude
Try to block me out but I know that you can still hear
Noise-cancellers only blocking out the cheers
You try to fly away, can't get to first gear
You've got the right of way, frozen by the chill of fear
You're stuck living here,  wishing I would disappear

But when you're in my atmosphere you can't help but listen here


Once again I'm lost in space
A little break from Earth's embrace
It could help or be a fall from grace
But I guess that's just the thrill of the chase


The constellations
A destination
When I need to avoid conversation

The clouds look
Like smoke on the water now
When you are this high up you cannot fall down

Lack of gravity
A refuge but a tragedy because
No one can expose my inner malady

Physically on Earth
So I'll play it cool now but know
My mind wants anything but to come down

Hey, come over here and talk to me
You're looking like a scared cat peering from atop a tree
Appears that you can't quite even out like isosceles
I'm fearing you've experienced atrocities on top of these
...Don't feel like you have to conquer me
I'm just here to make sure you're planting all the proper seeds
Property by property, advance in this economy
I can help you win this mental game of Monopoly

Self-reflection should not be the anomaly

Taking time to stop and breathe does not make you a drama queen

CHORUS

Yo what's up? It's been quite a while I've been missing you

I'm so glad you figured out which one of us to listen to


Lost In Space

In the present day where it's so easy to get caught up in technology and stay inside, sometimes it's nice to get out appreciate the organic things that everyday life has to offer.

LYRICS
I can't find my way around
I can't find my way
I don't know who to ask about
Where to go today
I can't find my way downtown
Big city skies gettin' scraped
I'm too shy to ask around
Bashful look on my face

CHORUS
I'm just glad I stepped out the house
So damn glad I didn't stay
No words needed to come out my mouth
Just soaked in the beautiful day (x2)

Sometimes it is easy to forget 
The simple joys of life
A man helps a woman cross the street
A husband kisses his wife
A baby's tears just disappear
When her mother comes into sight 
The best seat in the seat in the house is up above
As the birds look down in flight

CHORUS

Sometimes it is easy to forget 
The simple joys of life (x2)

The Beautiful Day

An ode to introverts (and the struggle)

LYRICS
Just can't find the time
Mask it with the grind
Busy by design
Need time to unwind

And I'm vacant, vacant, vacant
And I know you hate it, hate it, hate it

Won't let out a clue
Won't break out of the blue
Rings won't show my mood
If you only knew

And I'm vacant, vacant, vacant
And I know you hate it, hate it, hate it

I'm stuck on staycation
From realization
My walls are way too high
For your interrogation
Jay's got 99, but I spot Dalmatians 
The extra two are me and my Self... no relation
I'm testing your patience
With faulty equations
Your calculations
Won't reveal information
It's reached satiation
I know you can't take it
Should I just get faded?
Then maybe I'll say it 

And I'm vacant, vacant, vacant
And I know you hate it, hate it, hate it

Vacant

What's up, everybody? First off, thanks for taking time out of your day to check out my page. Know that it's much appreciated. I don't claim to be the best singer/songwriter, producer, or instrumentalist but I figured that I might as well post my songs considering all the time I've spent on this increasingly expensive little hobby of mine. I use FL Studio 10 to make the instrumental tracks and record vocals and instruments (mainly trumpet and EWI) over it. I hope you like what you hear and stay tuned for more! Thanks again for listening!
