A classical music quartet I composed in 2009 featuring the oboe, tenor saxophone, cello, and bass clarinet.

Opus 1 No. 1 in E minor

The story of a man falsely accused.
Of a man driven mad.
Of a man who gave up.
And the only woman who believed in him. 

Lyrics:

Head hung low,
You dwell in the shadows.
Sunlight burns, a stranger to you
From long ago.

Whispers in the wind,
They stole your name,
And you hid with
Needless shame.

Fear in their hearts, 
Fear in their minds,
It grows and grows.

I watched you fall
And I watched you crawl
On your knees 
And you wept at my feet.

I watched you tumble
And I watched you sink,
Sink in too deep.

And did you ever stop to think?
And did you ever think of me?
A man so wronged, they'll learn your name
And hangs their heads in shame.

You looked in peace,
Your pain found me.
I wrote this song for you
The day I found you lying still.

You could have been loved,
You could have been saved,
You could have still been here today.

We could have had something,
But you chose nothing.

"Take it away," you said.
"Take it away," you said.
But I turned my head,
"Don't ask this of me."

"Don't you think it's fair?
There's too much to bear."
But I pulled you away and begged you to change.

You could have been loved,
You could have been saved.
You could have still been here today.

We could have had something
But you chose nothing. 
Nothing.
You could have been saved.

Lyrics:

She draws you in, boy, you can't help yourself.
You get so close that you can almost feel her.
But then she doesn't look back and you're so confused.
You feel so lost, boy, you don't understand.
And you can't have her, boy, but the truth is no one can.
And don't you forget it, just be careful 'cause she's

Chorus
Breakin' your hear-ar-ar-art
Breakin you'r hear-ar-ar-art.

Don't get your hopes up, she'll take them from you.
She plays with your mind, boy, she pulls you in
Then she pushes right back and you wonder what she's thinkin'.
You think you're the first, boy, but you're not alone. Well she's

Chorus

Breakin' breakin' breakin'
Your heart is achin' achin' achin'

But you can't stick around 'cause she acts like she doesn't give a damn.
You're already gone, boy, and she's so confused, but you
Never look back, and you can't see that she's hurtin'.
Take one last look, boy, cause you're breakin' her heart.
