Goodbye (Songwriter's Demo)

"Falling Forward" is the debut album by Marqis Mason – a musical journey through restlessness, self-discovery, and hope. Across ten deep and dynamic tracks, Mason blends indie pop, hip-hop, and electronic influences into a sound that feels both modern and emotionally resonant.

The album explores the highs and lows of life – from escaping into nightlife ("Gimmy Dat Bounce"), to the inner struggle between past and future ("Break the Chains"), to the search for real love ("Caught in Your Eyes") and the importance of friendship ("All My People").

With introspective lyrics, powerful melodies, and driving beats, Marqis Mason proves that every step – even a stumbling one – moves us forward. "Falling Forward" is more than just an album; it’s a soundtrack for those navigating their own journey.

All My People

We come close, then we spin away,
Like the tide that won’t obey.
You pull me in with just one touch,
Then turn to stone, it’s all too much.

Are we fire, are we rain?
Are we passion, are we pain?
Every step is back and forth,
Like a force we can't ignore
We’re magnetic, love kinetic,
Drawn together, then rejected.

Hearts colliding, then dividing,
Still we can’t escape the fighting.
Push me out, then pull me back,
I want you close, but we react.

Like north and south, we twist and spin,
A love we lose, a love we win.
Your words burn, but they heal the same,
A whispered curse, a sacred name.

We chase the high, but fear the fall,
Can’t stay away, can’t stay at all.
If I let go, would you let me be?
Or would the force bring you back to me?

We're opposites, yet just the same,
A love that bends but won’t be tamed.
We dance this dance, we spin, we fade,
But something stronger makes us stay.

A love repelling, love so true,
I can't stay far away from you.

Love goin' all in, I'm committed
It's time to understand
Real or fiction?
Life is growing, put us on my back now (Ooh)
And I wanna tell the truth, so I'm writing (Ooh)
'Cause people tell lies all the time in person (Ooh)
And that shit gets worse sometimes
(Baby, tell the truth now, tell the truth for now)
(Every day and night)
Tell the truth right now, tell the truth all the time
'Cause we don't do no lying over here, not now, no way, no how (Ooh)
Tell the truth, what now? Hey (I see, and I wanna see)
You've been hurt, but don't let that get the best of you
(Be real baby and I'll be real to you)

[Verse 2]
Woo
Get it off your chest
No news travel faster than lies
Whoever tells you that it's a lie (Mm)
Gotta put the time in to get it right (Oh, oh, ooh)
(True?) Whos  gonna tell you that it's wrong
Don't they ever bring that
Sad, sad song
To our happy home (No, no, no)
(Ooh)
Real for real, we let 'em know
(Ooh)
'Cause ya know
Seems like as of late, make-believe is the only place
Where people make sense nowadays
Nowadays
So please tell the truth again, uh
Tell the truth for once alone, yeah (Mm)

I'll be your man (I'll be the one)
I'll be your everything (I'll be your, I'll be your)
(Oh-oh, baby)

[Outro]
Don't get confused (Hey), 
I hope you realize, 
We gonna be like this 
(Oh-oh-oh) Loving you, until the smoke dies off in the air (Yeah)
Because I'll be your everything
 I'll be your everything (I'll be your, I'll be your)
(Everything)

I'll Be Your Everything

I've danced
With my demons in my bones
Asking "is it time to come home?"
I think pretty sure'd you know
My heart's not made of gold

You saw me
With my jaw chained to my bed
You took the crown off of my head
Replaced it with your hands instead
Then you said

"When you go
Bury me in your wedding dress
Call me your missus
You're fresh out of bone
You'll like me
You latch onto every word I've said
My skin's made out of your formal breath
I'm your wife
I'm the deep love of a death"

That scarlet woman
I didn't see her coming
Tempted me down from Hell
Singing
Took one look into her eyes
Heaven's soon to realize
My heart was a mistake she was worth making
But we're saying

"When you go
Bury me in your wedding dress
Call me your missus
You're fresh out of bone
You'll like me
You latch onto every word I've said
My skin's made out of your formal breath
I'm your wife
I'm the deep love of a death"

The Deep Love of a Death

I am a healthcare executive completing a dual degree, Master of Public Health / Doctor of Health Sciences, focused on raising awareness about behavioral health, specifically among teens and college students. My dissertation research is focused on raising up the voice of college students beginning with communities of color. I am committed to helping people connect to their purpose in collaboration with mission-aligned leaders. Together we will achieve great things!

Our project is a first step in raising awareness about a national health epidemic. All proceeds are reinvested directly into proactive strategies for improving behavioral health among youth, teens, and young adults in collaboration with community partners.

Our youth, teens, and young adults are reporting the highest levels of loneliness on record according to the U.S. Surgeon General. Our work is going to help change that through simple actions that bring people together for the common good, focused on lifting people up, and creating stronger in person connections.
