Modeled after the SAW theme song. This was my final project in Electronic Music class. Used it in a short film, titled "The Pawn."

The Pawn

Like a cub left out in the rain
No on to pick you up, no one to lift your pain
And nowhere feels like home
And the wind won't take you where you wanna go
And those mountains seem so high
And you're scared to see what's on the other side
Can your courage take you through the test of time?

But it's not a race. No one wants to get older
Just keep your pace, girl. Wipe the dust of your shoulder

You're gonna make it, girl. Gonna make it, girl
Just ready your heart

You're stronger than you think
What's a lioness doing in a boxing ring?
And you're smarter than you realize
But can your legs keep up with your ambitious mind?
Will you make the best of it or waste your time?

But it's not a race. No one wants to get older
Just keep your pace, girl. Put a chip on your shoulder

You're gonna make it, girl. Gonna make it, girl
Just ready your heart
You're gonna make it, girl. Gonna change your world
Just ready your heart

Don't think about it. Just know that there's a balance of
havin' what you ain't wantin' and wantin' what you ain't havin'
But ya  keep climbin' and I know that you will find it, but there's
No turnin' back now. No turnin' back now.

Just look at the mountains. Look at the mountains, girl

And devour.

We Tasted Love - Acoustic

One of my favorite songs I've written. It's a dialogue between Father and child. 
Only 29 words total. "...He will rejoice over you with singing." -Zephaniah 3:17
Now put this on repeat and go to sleep!
