The storm is coming 
The storm is here
Take shelter
Stay near

Withstand
The wrath
Withstand
The pain

Open the drain
Open the drain

Love can rescue
From emotional darkness
Love can rescue
From emotional darkness

Let the water flow
Flow it all down
Let the water flow
Wipe off the frown

Lift yourself up
Get strong again
Walk along
Always defend

Open the drain
Open the drain

Love can rescue
From emotional darkness
Love can rescue
From emotional darkness

Let the water flow
Flow it all down
Let the water flow
Wipe off the frown

Lift yourself up
Get strong again
Walk along
Always defend

Open the drain
Open the drain

Love can rescue
From emotional darkness
Love can rescue
From emotional darkness

Your heart
Your emotions
Your dreams
Your devotion

Can make you fly
Can make you live
Can help you get
To where you've been

Open the drain
Open the drain

Love can rescue
From emotional darkness
Love can rescue
From emotional darkness

Open the Drain

Thank you for sticking with me and listening to my songs every day. I notice the ones who show up, the ones who keep coming back, the ones who let my music into their life. I hope these songs have given you as much strength and peace as they’ve given me. I write them to lift the soul and the spirit, because in these times we need every bit of light we can get.

The only thing I can tell you is this. Never give up on yourself. If you want something, you have to work for it, and sometimes you have to work hard as shit to get anywhere. But I believe in you. I believe you will reach that first goal on your journey in this life. And when you do, don’t stop. Keep going. There is always another level waiting for you.

In the meantime, I have a whole universe of musical projects you can explore. If any of them speak to you, let me know. Welcome to the way my mind works.

Welcome to my world.

Cheers!
