One collective location for all my tracks.  This list will update as I complete songs, with each of the songs on the playlist added in the order recorded...as you listen, you'll hear me unwind, my recording engineering skills devolving from today, going back nearly two decades to when I recorded the first song in the list, using Cakewalk and a computer microphone wayyyyy back in 2004.

Take Me

Verse 1:
Take me with you, I’ll leave it all behind
Disposable kingdom, I’ll burn it down tonight
There’s nothing left for me, here, without you in my life
Without, you are my life

Pre-Chorus:
Our souls, forever intertwined
You are the only thing that’s real

Chorus
I’m trapped inside my mind
Drowning in my lies, your shadow draws the line
I don’t have what it takes to say goodbye

Verse 2:
Take me with you, I’ll wait eternity
My paper heart, the holes you’ve ripped in me
I’m lost unto the wind
Forgiveness not forget
Do you ever think of me, am I alone in this illusion

Pre-Chorus
Our souls, continue to unwind
Were you, ever really mine

Chorus
I’m trapped inside my mind
Drowning in my lies, your shadow draws the line
I don’t have what it takes to say goodbye

Into the Abyss (2025) – Calling out fake friends
At some point in life, we all come across fake friends, who pretend to care and drag you into the abyss. The lyrics channel the raw frustration of being used, betrayed and misled. "Into The Abyss" is a cathartic scream for justice, a metalcore song that pulls no punches, when it comes to calling out toxic people.

I wish you’d leave 

When I close my eyes 
All odds are against me 

They’re against me 

I tried to let it go
Not get closer, but break apart
Every time I close my eyes
You show 

I never 
Thought I could fall again 
And never again 
Death to what's in my head

Strike 

Strike me down by the hands of grace 
Grant me my wish and conceal my fate

Here With Me 

Verse 1: Guitar - G > em > C > D | Mando – D > C# minor 7th chord 

What can I do, what can I say, we just want to go out and play 

In the park, in the yard, though our hearts are mighty scarred 

I’m just a boy, you’re just a girl, spinning round on the tilt-a-whirl 

Round and round and round we go, where we’ll land no one knows 

 

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 | G > A 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em 

 

Verse 2: G > em > C > D 

What can I do, what can I say, I know nothing stays the same 

Under this moon, under these stars, long as we can, and just as far 

I’m just a girl, you’re just a boy, hand in hand, hang on to the joy 

Day by day, the years go by, all this time just to say goodbye. 

 

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Instrumental Bridge: (Stays on G chord framing) G > B > C > B > am (repeat 4x w/ swelling melodic harmonies heavy in reverb) 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em 

 

Verse 3: G > em > C > D 

What did Dad do, what did Mom say, stay young, be kind, choose love, go play 

It’s a crazy world and that’s okay, the two of you make it a better place 

The day will come when we’ll be gone, side-by-side we know that you’ll be strong 

Don’t let the time pull you away, best friends, you and I, our family stays 

  

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em

Calling Me Back In (The Primary Phase Principle Remix)

God and Jesus

I was gonna clean the kitchen
but the plates began a union
They demanded better hours
so I left them on strike

I thought I'd check my emails
but the subject lines were yelling
so I brewed another coffee
and let them shout at spam

Tomorrow - it's perfectly clear
everything important will start right there
Today I'm rehearsing my grand excuse
tomorrow I'll tighten the noose

I planned to pay the landlord
but the app said "try again"
I took that as a cosmic sign
to binge another show

I promised I'd go running
but my shoes are still offended
they've been waiting by the doorway
like statues keeping score

Tomorrow - the schedule's clean
I'll publish a book and I'll learn to sing
Today I just practice the art of delay
tomorrow I'll do what I meant for today

They say life is short
but it feels long enough
to put off flossing
fixing the sink
and writing that thesis
If deadlines are real
then so are unicorns

I was gonna call my mother
but she'd only ask for news
And news is what I'll have
when I finally do some things

I really wanted progress
but my plans will never start
if intention counts as effort
then I'm a work of art

Tomorrow - it's patient and kind
it carries the weight I can't lift tonight
Today is for coffee, tomorrow's for war
today keeps moving onward, tomorrow even more

Tomorrow

I watch it take hold as you’re turning away, hold on

And now I’m gonna close my mind
Bleeding into you this existential light
Chorus: Bf1 > G 
Just close your eyes
Let me breathe you in tonight
Theres no future, no past, forgive me, who I am

Lyrics in English 

----- Introducing the song ----- 

“Ulysses, Penelope and Paul, The Pilgrim – The Myth Untold, pt.2” is a musical work that weaves narrative, poetry, and faith into a maritime journey where wind, destiny, and divine promise collide. Inspired by Paul’s voyage to Rome as told in the Acts of the Apostles, the song also echoes elements of Greek mythology—not as spiritual equivalence, but as symbolic contrast between human wisdom and divine revelation. 

The presence of Ulysses (Odysseus) serves as a literary metaphor, not as an object of devotion. This music does not promote religious syncretism, but rather uses mythological references as narrative backdrop to exalt the sovereignty of the Christian God. Paul the Apostle is portrayed as the true pilgrim—not guided by oracles, but by angels of the Lord and the unshakable Word of God. 

Each verse is an invocation of faith that withstands the storm, of hope that does not sink, and of a promise that remains firm even when the ship breaks apart. The glory belongs not to man, nor to myth, but to the God who saves, guides, and fulfills His sovereign will. 

This song was composed for the exclusive glory of the Christian God, and its message is clear: faith in Christ is the anchor that sustains the pilgrim amid the chaos of the world. 

----- Lyrics ----- 

 

(Intro) 

  

(Soldier 1)  

"The wind is rising..." 



(Paul the Apostle)  

"Sirs, I perceive this voyage will bring harm and great loss — not only the cargo and the ship, but also the souls aboard." 

  

(Julius the Centurion)  

"Your advice is wise, Paul, but I have spoken to the ship owner.  He knows these seas well. The voyage will be secure — we'll land safely in Rome." 

  

(Soldier 2)  

"I'm not sure... but I feel we should listen to this man. Many call him holy — the Christians even say he's a saint. Some say he's a pilgrim, a bearer of divine messages — like Mercury himself." 

  

(Verse 1) 

 

"Have you never heard how cautious and wise Ulysses was in ancient Greece?  

He followed Circe's counsel, survived the sirens and Poseidon's wrath.  

What if this man named Paul has received divine counsel about our voyage—and what if it is his God's will to save us all?" 

  

(Verse 2)  

  

Had you heeded in Crete, we’d have spared this pain 

Now the storm is a beast, and the sea is its roar 

Yet take heart, my brothers, God’s promise will remain  

No soul shall be lost, though the ship breaks ashore  

An angel of the Lord stood beside me in the night  

Saying, "You’ll face Caesar, your mission will stand  

So let courage burn bright, let faith be your light 

For salvation will come by His sovereign hand" 

  

(Pre-Chorus) 

  

(Soldier 3)  

"The heavens thunder with Scylla's  rage  — can you not feel the signs?" 

  

(Julius’ cousin)  

"We are Romans! We bow to no omens — yet if the Unknown God Paul proclaims is true, He will save us!" 

  

(Paul the Apostle) 

"Yet even Ulysses bowed to prophecy — and lived to see Ithaca once more." 

  

  

(Chorus)  

  

Through raging seas His mercy will prevail 

The tempest roars, yet we will not fall 

His word is our anchor, steadfast in the gale  

And His promise of life will protect us all  

 

The storm may strike, yet His hand will save 

His truth will hold, unbroken and sure 

His promise stands, our hope secure  

And faith will guide us through every wave 



(Saxophone solo)



(Final of part 2) 

  

From the sea's fury to the redeeming shore, 

Ulysses and Paul — pilgrims of sea and soul. 

One with wisdom, the other with faith, 

To Penelope beloved, to redemption fulfilled.
