I changed the lyrics slightly. New recording incoming with final lyrics. Thanks for the support guys!

I wrote this to my old self.

Your Truth Shall Set You Free

They taught it to you solemnly before you learned to speak
It was a lie for them, and now it’s one for you
They gave you every truth before they told you you could seek it 
They deny it when you find a different truth
Yes they deny you when you find a different truth

But when you fall apart
you find your heart

You struggle to discern and unearth all the little secrets
to guide your feet and guide your heart and guide your hands
And if it were your own designs you would never believe it
You don’t see yourself, I hope one day you can
No you don’t see yourself, I know one day you can

When you lose all else
you find yourself

And don’t you know that it will be okay for you to
just let go
of the stranglehold of faith, of fear and shame and
You will know what’s right for you
For you

So when the mold they put you in, it makes you feel confined
You’re so discouraged, and it’s so difficult to be
The truth you need, the shape you are is already inside you
Just believe in it, your truth will set you free
Yeah just believe yourself, your truth will set you free

Your Truth Shall Set You Free

you say you don’t feel
so much older now
as you call to your ghost outside
and say it’s over, don’t cry

now warm is the purpose for you
the reason you just lay down
you spoon-feed the old folks now
as you cover your starving mouth

in all of your dreams
you’re falling from a great height
you stay up nights

in a box in a basement you found
the long-lost likeness of you
you gaze in his eager eyes
and say it’s over, don’t cry
i’m sorry, don’t cry

don’t cry

part of you

after all this time
after all these days
after all these dates
after everything

you know I realized
when they day is through
when everyone is gone
when it's just me and you

that I love you so
and that this love has grown
from the first glance I stole
to the sweetest thing I own
and I want the whole world to know

that you're my bestest friend
yeah you're my jim and pam
the Yahtzee champion
even though I let you win

and when I let you in
to my deepest place
you never hid your face
and you loved me anyway

and you're my sweetest thing
your laugh, the sweetest ring
your smile, a warming beam
your touch so comforting

and how I love you so
and how this love has grown
from the first glance I stole
into the sweetest thing I own
so grateful you're my own
and I wanted you to know

of all the questions that I've ever had
there's only one that I really need to ask

will you marry me?

untitled album

sweetest thing (the question)

start over

every day gone is another day
your voice is right here but you're far away
the sun it shines bright and the sky is blue
i squint into it and i think of you
but i'll keep walking on
i'll keep walking home to you

and sadness is a song that we have to sing
because distance is a thief that takes everything
trouble is a test that we go through
and time is a measure of what's in you
but i'll keep holding on
i'll keep holding on to you

everything we do, it matters
everything it plays its part
every step I take is careful
to lead back home to where you are

it's warmer outside than it ought to be
the sun it shines bright through the palm trees
and i am right here but you're far away
and every day gone is another day

but i'll keep holding on
i'll keep holding onto you
and i'll keep walking on
i'll keep on walking home to you

home to you

4am in a parking lot
the weight of the morning and the suitcase I brought
I won't sleep tonight so I'll just stay up
look out of the window at the sun coming up

and I don't know what to expect
and I don't know if I'll ever see you again

I fall asleep in the window seat
high above your rooftop at 30,000 feet
and the doorstep where you looked up at me
with those deep green eyes
it was a gaze I couldn't meet

now I know it's too late
it's over, we've sealed our fate
and I wish I had told you
the secret I'd kept
and the way that I had felt
because I loved you

well the years go by and that day is gone
and are there second chances, or is there really only one?
because I can't believe that it's been so long
these wounds they fade but still the pain is never gone

and I don't know what to expect
and I don't know if I'll ever get over this

because I know it's too late
it's over, we've sealed our fate
and I wish I had told you
the secret I'd kept
and the way that I had felt

when I drove up to Dallas to meet you
yeah I drove up to Dallas to see you
and I drove away with my greatest mistake

now I know it's too late
it's over, we've sealed our fate
and I see it so clear now
that you're gone, and I am still right here now
and it's too late
yeah it's over, we've sealed our fate
and I wish I had told you
the secret I kept
and the way that I had felt

because I loved you

dallas, tx

You're taking me over, you're taking your time
I feel like I'm falling on the inside
I know what you did, and you know what you did
How can I get straight and forget this?
I'll find a way, we'll find a way
but I'm finding it hard to believe you
You're making it so I just don't know myself
Well I'll come out when you come down

I'm falling asleep and I'm beside myself
I find it hard to let go of it
I don't know where to go and I don't know what I did
I don't know what I did to believe you

Oooh shake your body now
Oooh shake your body now
You know you want to
Oooh everybody out
Oooh everybody out

I look in the mirror, I don't see myself
It feels like the face of anybody else
You're kicking me down and I'm so low
I want to get out but I don't go

but I don't go
yeah I don't go
no I don't go
but I wanna go

I look in the mirror, I don't see myself
It feels like the face of anybody else
You're kicking me down and I'm so low
I want to get out but I can't go

dance song

stone

white lie

When I saw you the last time
I don’t remember what we did
And when we said our last goodbye
I can’t remember what we said
And I wish you could know
that this heartache won’t go
away
And it will never fade

And it hurts me every time 
that I think about you
And I’d give every last dime
I have to see your face again, to hold you near
I wish you could see
all the love you’re missing
here
But you turned your heart away

And all that I have left
Faded pictures yellow at the edge
in a box under my bed

But in my heart, my dreams, my soul, my mind
you’re still laughing in the seat beside me
And these bonds, these links between our lives
they never break, decay, or fade with time
Of everything I wish I could say to you
and banish this distance we’ve been consigned to
Above it all, these walls, this great divide
I hope your happiness will shine
I hope you shine
