Sonar

My first single I am releasing of my summer EP! It's got an alternative rock feel with distorted guitars and all live instruments. I have three more songs coming out this summer so stay tuned!

Follow me on instagram: izmurph and you can also listen on Spotify and Apple Music. Links are on my profile.

Feel Weird

I am happy to be releasing my second single, "The Lake." I wrote this one about wanting to escape from the city and return to nature, and to try to figure out what is really important in your life. This is a song that I played with my former band Coati Coati in San Luis Obispo, CA and I hope to be playing live shows again soon! You can also listen to this song on Spotify and Apple Music!

Lyrics:

When the light goes out
And the dark comes in
I wish I could just run away
To a place so close
Where I used to go
I wish I could be there today

I'm fine as I walk beside the lake
My reflection shows me what I need

Gotta go, gotta run, gotta get away
Gotta find my way out of this place
These walls are closing in and choking me
Gotta make the most of right now 
Who knows what tomorrow brings
I'm headed where I've always felt so free

I'm fine as I walk beside the lake
My reflection shows me what I need

Rippling waves, crashing
Blue-grey haze, shrouding
I can't wait all my life

I'm fine as I walk beside the lake
My reflection shows me what I need

Rippling waves, crashing
Blue grey-haze, shrouding
I can't wait all my life
Reaching out, I'm just 
Diving in, I'm just 
Searching for something more

Lyrics:

Losing touch with everything
I don't know where I'm supposed to be
But you look like you live for free
I count the days as they pass by
Like the clouds moving through the sky
Well If I jump do you think I'd fly?

Fly into your world
You aerial stadium
And tell you that I understand

I know why.. (x4)

When I wake up I feel numb
Like somebody has drugged me
Just gotta stay calm and breathe
Sometimes I wonder if you know
How much you broke me
I bet I'm not even on your mind

Fly into your world
Your aerial stadium
And tell you that I understand
I'll make sure that you know
I'm never coming down
I'll make sure that you realize

I know why.. (x4)

Lyrics: 
Chorus (x2):
Take a trip yeah let's go a little higher
You stay low and they'll throw you in the fire
Had a dream where we got a lil tighter
But in the end yeah you led me to the pyre
Verse:
One love, and 23 say so's
Thought I had it in the bag when you let go
Now it's Cloudy and you're acting like the sun's out
Gotta picture of us smiling with my guns out
Verse 2:
Did you think it would go by this fast?
Feels like we just got out of math class
I remember when you were standing by me
I turned my head and started walking blindly
Chorus (x2):
Take a trip yeah let's go a little higher
You stay low and they'll throw you in the fire
Had a dream where we got a lil tighter
But in the end yeah you led me to the pyre
