--------

I look
Every which way but back
I keep moving, keep moving
And let go
I took
I took away the baggage
Kept removing, removing
on my own

Tell me
A time you had the courage to say
I shouldn’t have wronged you in that way
No, I know why
Don’t sell me
A reason not to be afraid
Cuz I can’t guarantee I’ll buy today

I wandered off to find where truth is told
Being force-fed is getting old
Cuz wouldn’t you know, wouldn’t you
Wouldn’t you know
There’s no hold on fool’s gold
You can spray as many coats of glitter on it
I ain’t never gonna settle on it
Cuz wouldn’t you know, wouldn’t you
Wouldn’t you know

I’m hooked
On the possibilities
All uncertainty as I drive on
All night, all night
Still, the wonder of what lay ahead
Defeats knowing well what to expect

Tell me
A time you had the courage to stay
And face the music wrought of your ways
No, I know why
Cuz dwelling
Isn’t ever gonna liberate you
From the same things, the same thing
Different day

I wandered off to find where truth is told
Being force-fed is getting old
Cuz wouldn’t you know, wouldn’t you
Wouldn’t you know
There’s no hold on fool’s gold
You can spray as many coats of glitter on it
I ain’t never gonna settle on it
Cuz wouldn’t you know, wouldn’t you
Wouldn’t you know
It’s fool’s gold

It’s fool’s gold

Fool's Gold

Here it comes, oh

Feeling on the wayside
I’m not falling
For your bag of tricks while you’re
Talking all, you’re talking all about it

Now you’re feeling the high tide
And you’re calling again, oh
You’re feeling stranded cuz you know that you’re
Walking on, you’re walking over thin ice

Playing around
With the wounds in my soul
Digging up rocks just to throw
Still getting uptight when I don’t
Pick up the phone

Going my own way when I
When I say I’ll see ya
Why’s your temper getting high
You were walking on anyway

Now you’re bang, bang
Knocking upon my door
Cuz you don’t got something
You had before
It was the only one in the world
I’m the only one in the world
Now you’re bang, bang
Knocking upon my door
Cuz you done lost something
You had before
It was the only one in the world
I’m the only one in the world

Bang bang
Bang bang
I’m the only one in the world

Nothing left to clean up
The mess is all withdrawn
Your excuses piled up
Man, they went on and on and on
(On and on and on)
Now I’m breathing easier
With a marathon
Of a thousand smiles knowing now
That you’re gone, gone, gone
(Gone, gone, gone)

You were playing around
With the wounds in my soul
Digging up rocks just to throw
Still getting uptight that I won’t
Pick up the phone

Are you lying awake at night
Cuz I went and said see ya
Why’s your temper getting high
You were dreaming on anyway

Now you’re bang, bang
Knocking upon my door
Cuz you don’t got something
You had before
It was the only one in the world
I’m the only one in the world
Now you’re bang, bang
Knocking upon my door
Cuz you done lost something
You had before
It was the only one in the world
I’m the only one in the world

Now you’re bang, bang
Knocking upon my door
Cuz you don’t got something
You had before
It was the only one in the world
I’m the only one in the world
Now you’re bang, bang
Knocking upon my door
Cuz you done lost something
You had before
It was the only one in the world
I’m the only one in the world

Bang bang
Bang bang
I’m the only one in the world
Bang bang
Bang bang
I’m the only one in the world
Bang bang

Bang Bang

Not sure what was happening
But looking back on
The falsest reality
I fell upon
Rings sounds of the locking
Of doors left and right
As the world starts to crumble
And muddle my sight

The dream of a fearless inclusion
Has come to an end because you
Smile, trying to mask
The painful fact
That you
Hurt me again

Ooh, hurt me again

Hurt Me Again - Single

Hurt Me Again

The simplest words that you could say
Echo like a song in my mind
Because the way your body speaks conveys
Them all another way with your eyes

After so many tries
You give in to your glow
Now you’re finding your groove
And it’s starting to show
You make a point to meet eyes
When you think that I don’t
So won’t you please make a move
'Cause you’re all that I want

My heart is captive
Made whole, emboldened
By your light
(Haunt me, taunt me
Make me want to want you)
I formed my own angle
Just to make it right
(It’s daunting flaunting
Won’t you make a move)
Your voice, your face
Making my heart race
Your hands, I can’t stand
They’re close but never close enough
You melt my soul
At the thought of making love
Won’t you please make a move
'Cause you’re all that I want

An endless marathon
And on and on
Of only you
I can’t go on and on
Much longer
Without you
(No)

In the bag are blue skies
In the storm we are allies
Everything I am will be yours
I’ll be your confidant
Everything you’ve wanted
Is everything I’ve needed
Let’s take what we want out of this
Cosmic phenomenon

Everyone will notice
We don’t go unnoticed
The electric connection was obvious
From the first plug
'Cause we’re everything that they’d want
We’re all that we want

My heart is captive
Made whole, emboldened
By your light
(Haunt me, taunt me
Make me want to want you)
I formed my own angle
Just to make it right
(It’s daunting flaunting
Won’t you make a move)
Your voice, your face
Making my heart race
Your hands, I can’t stand
They’re close but never close enough
You melt my soul
At the start of making love
You’re all that I want

All That I Want

Rain calls my name
With every step taken
As I run away for
The calming sense of
Belonging in this
Lonely, crowded world
Before the storm

A cold wish
But wait till I awaken
To the sun again
I can soar
When I awake and overcome
In my encore

In time, the scars
Will level neatly
Long before I touch the stars
In a dream so sweet

Endeavor to
Be better
In the end
To conquer the close
Before it opens again

These days
I leave open
Every chapter
To find what’s in store
Read between the lines
Of how the story goes for my

---LYRICS---

Of all the world's mysterious workings 
comes an anomaly to sweep me off my feet. 
You take my breath from me, 
and every time I see you, butterflies. 
(I'm walking on clouds here.) 
Fire melts the ice that looms inside 
as I lose my mind thinking of you all the time. 
I'm floating away on a dreamscape with you. 

Calm is the wave that comes crashing to savor 
the weight of longing. 
(The line has no direction.) 
Indulge, or to crave - only knowing to savor 
this sunny day with its chance of rain. 

So, take me in your arms and shower kisses. 
Or, you can leave me in pieces. 
Either way, what is right or wrong, 
I've loved your being all along.

Only Natural (feat. May Devun)

Make Your Move (feat. May Devun)

Say the words
That you mean
Say the words
Say them to me
Truth, it hurts
But always
Opens every closing
Say the words
That you think
Say them proudly
Don’t let them sink
Into that void
You try to hide
Don’t be afraid
To feel alive
There’s more here than
You’ll ever know

Say no more
Wait till you see
What’s in store
For everything
Soon, you’ll lose your mind
But don’t fret, it’s all fine
Cognitive renegade
Feel the fire in the shade
Relax and soak it in
This wisdom

As you find yourself
Standing on edge
Do you fall or fly
What’s real is surreal
When it comes
All this strength
Overcoming to
Stand and shine
Oh, how does it feel

Say the words
For all to hear
