Lyrics:

Verse 1:  
In the quiet of my mind, I hear the echoes,  
A haunting reminder of where I fell,  
Shadows creeping, filling the hollow,  
Memories too dark to quell.  

Chorus:  
I fell, I drowned in my own despair,  
Fingers reaching for the air,  
But no one's there, no light, no sound,  
I lost myself, now I’m unbound.  

Verse 2:  
The echoes grow louder, they pull me deep,  
In the silence, I begin to weep,  
A fragile soul, left in the storm,  
Yearning for a peace that’s never been born.  

Chorus:  
I fell, I drowned in my own despair,  
Fingers reaching for the air,  
But no one's there, no light, no sound,  
I lost myself, now I’m unbound.  

Bridge:  
But I'll rise again, from this endless night,
I’ll find the strength to embrace the fight,  
No longer lost, I see the truth,  
The echoes will fade, but I’ll live through.  

Outro:  
The echoes fade, the storm subsides,  
I’ll leave the past where darkness hides,  
In the silence, I'll find my way,  
And tomorrow will be my brand new day.

These Pills Tell Better Stories

Burn it down burn it bright let the embers light the night 
Feel the heat feel the fight watch it blaze into the sky 
Every spark every flame let it shout out my name Burning down the building breaking free from the shame

Lyrics:
(Cozmo Jethro)
I wrote this song about a girl I know.
She overcame so much, yo here we go.

Growing up  in the 70s and 80s.
Had a tough time growin up in Spokane.
An absent father and an alcoholic mother.
Yea, she knew what it was to persevere.

She was married at age 17.
Two kids later, divorced at 19.
Had her third kid at age 21.
In another relationship with a struggling one.

This went on for 8 years.
Till she saw some fears,
He just couldn’t lay off the beers.

Now a single mom with 3 kids.
What an amazing job she did.

With street smarts and little education.
She started college, 30 years of dedication.
She still had to work and provide for the kids.
College start and stop, had to take care of her biz. 

(Crissy)
Wanting to provide a better life.
Better life, better life.

Inspired by my kids.
Growing for my family.
Earning and learning.
To provide for their needs.

Wanting to be a transitional fam.
Changing past legacy, oh man.
Thanking God for the wisdom.
To set us free!

(Cozmo Jethro)
As time went by she climbed the corporate ladder.
While raisin those kids, that girls a scrapper.
Then came kid number four with her life partner.
Another great kid for her to mentor.

All this time starting and stopping college.
Trying to get it done but it wasn’t happening.

She landed a job she had no business getting.
Only pharma rep in the country, no degree.
With positive attitude, gutsy, and scrappy.
She pulls off those amazing things.

All while working her tail off. Yea.
To provide for her family.

(Crissy)
Wanting to provide a better life.
Better life, better life.

Inspired by my kids.
Growing for my family.
Earning and learning.
To provide for their needs.

Wanting to be a transitional fam.
Changing past legacy, oh man.
Thanking God for the wisdom.
To set us free!

(Cozmo Jethro)
Now she’s makin it big.
In the pharma gig.
Time to try for that degree again.
Finally.

George Fox University.
Full time pharma rep 
full time accelerated degree.

Somehow for two years she pulled it off.
Just graduated Magna Cum Laude.
2025, with a double degree.
That’s my girl, that’s my Crissy.
My scrappy, gutsy, smart beautiful wife.
Makin everything better for all our lives.
Took her 30 years to get that degree.
So proud of my wife, let’s celebrate, yipppeeee.
Whooooo Crissy, you did it girl! You got that degree, 30 years of perseverence. yaaa haaaa!
(Crissy)
Yea, by the grace of god, tenacity and manifestation, we made it happen.
(Lydia) Go Mom!
(Adam) Good job Mom!
(Tristan) Great work Mom!
(Merey and Korey) You did it Mom!

The Graduate (feat. Crissy) (beat. Villatic)

Shadows dance where the secrets lie Whispers echo beneath the sky A thousand faces yet none to see Who holds the key to eternity

Riddle of souls .mp3

I held my words like folded knives
You named my calm, rewrote my life
I let you feel what I could control—
But I was never yours to hold

Your hands were warm, your timing good
You guessed the part where I once stood
But I’m not him, and this is not
Some broken thing you get to plot

You want me soft, then call it brave
Want me still and well-behaved
Want me quiet, clean, contained
A name you write then half-erase

But I don’t change
To fit your style
I don’t fall
To make you wild

You want a place to shoot, I know
Some open skin that doesn’t show
But I’m not bleeding just to prove
I’m soft enough for you to bruise

You played me soft to feel control
You found my pulse, then marked a goal
But I don’t bleed the way you need
I lock the door before I plead

You want me weak, then call it strong
Want me right and then want me wrong
Want me quiet, clean, contained
A name you write
Then half-erase

But I don’t change
To fit your style
I don’t fall
To make you wild

You want a place to shoot, I know
Some open skin that doesn’t show
But I’m not bleeding just to prove
I’m soft enough for you to bruise

I took the hits
I let them land
I bit my tongue
And played your hand

But I don’t play
To just pretend
This ain't love
It’s how it ends

Oh, Baby I don’t play
Oh, Baby I don’t play
Oh, Baby I don’t play

You want me soft, then call it brave
Want me still and then well-behaved
Want me quiet, clean, contained—
A name you write
Then half-erase

But I don’t change
To fit your style
I don’t fall
To make you wild

You want a place to shoot, I know
Some open skin that doesn’t show
But I’m not bleeding just to prove
I’m soft enough for you to bruise

Soft Target

I rise, not for breath, but to pull you below,
To the marrow where your certainty won't grow.
You, a whisper sewn in skin and bone—
Hard to follow, easier to dethrone.

Too late for words, we wait through the pale—
Dawn flickers like a match, fragile and frail.
They told you I was dulled and golden-flecked,
But gold’s just rust they haven’t checked.

Each hour marked, I’m dressed for the vanishing—
Every return, it’s just another reckoning.
Each breath I take, I wear like a mourning veil,
Every farewell’s just another funeral trail.

I don’t climb for air—I descend to trace
The fault lines carved in your sacred space.
Outside, the lawn is cluttered with hushed decay—
Leaves without names, and no branches to stay.

Each hour marked, I’m dressed for the vanishing—
Every return, it’s just another reckoning.
Each breath I take, I wear like a mourning veil,
Every farewell’s just another funeral trail.

The Funeral

A song about my best friend I lost when I was 13.

-

I watched the rain fall in the wrong direction
Backwards like breath pulled from a mouth
They said you were resting, I saw you vanish
And no one knew how to talk about death

And we had plans for summer.

I kept your chair the way it faced
As if you'd just stepped out of place
I learned that good was just a word
And sometimes love leaves the deepest mark

Trauma doesn’t end, it rearranges
Lives in the walls and changes faces
I spoke like you, then acted like them
And hurt the ones I tried to defend

Trauma doesn’t end, it rehearses
Moves like fog and speaks in curses
What I buried came back as sound
Soft and sharp—it spins around

I thought I saw you in the hallway mirror
But it was just how I hold my eyes
A child’s truth, too small for grown lies
I copied pain to feel alive

I stopped breathing that summer.

I pass it on, not by choice
In sideways looks and lowered voice
The silence I grew up inside
Becomes the tone I now confide

Trauma doesn’t end, it rearranges
Moves through hands and renames places
I built a self from broken codes
And now I see—I was never whole

Trauma doesn’t end, it rehearses
Carves its name inside the surface
Each breath I take, it breathes with me
A shadow stitched into memory

Trauma

Aching

You said my name like biting ice
A shape your mouth still knew by trace
Your smile held but never stayed
Still I reached across the space 

We played the part with morning routine
The same chair, the same window light
But every glance held less of you
And more of someone out of sight 

I’m losing you twice
Once in the room
Once in the light
Fading too soon
You’re here, but not right
Each day a goodbye
I'm losing you twice 

Your words slipped into crooked paths
Unfinished thoughts without their start
And I kept laughing through the gaps
Pretending silence was an art 

Then you slept—
and didn’t—
didn’t stir.
No gasp.
No—
no breath.
Just the hand,
still.
Still the same hand
I held—
I had held
when there was—
when nothing—
when nothing else was left. 

I said your name.
Then again.
Then again.
And again.
Like it could—
like it could hold—
like it could hold
what slipped away. 

I’m losing you twice
Once with your name
Once with the night
No flame, no frame
No final rite
Just chairs still turned
And no one gets twice
I’m losing you twice

Losing You Twice

Home  mix #2

Last Call

A Moment Forever

Rows of windows all breathing in the dust
I can feel their cold light watching us
All these days, they fall in motion
All these days, we learn to carry stone
Then bleed out again
Then bleed out

This mirror will, will not reflect me right
It forgets the name I held last night
Drink red fourty, hold the silence
Before we all return beneath the stone
Then bleed out again
Then bleed out

Cracked bones, every limb
Burning bright and then goes dim,
Tastless dreams,and grinding teeth
Cut my feet on a jagged reef

All these days, they fall in motion
All these days, we learn to carry stone
Then bleed out again
Then bleed out

We bury our names in love
We bury our names in love

Jagged Reef

She left a thread beneath the dying light
A word half-said, then swallowed by the night
You lit a smoke but never struck a flame
And wore her leaving like a borrowed name

You said her silence felt like choice
But heard the truth behind her voice

I still chase that stubborn light
Flickering beneath the fight
Even if it never stays
I trace its shape across the haze

I still chase that stubborn light
Even when it blinds my sight
What you lose, you learn to find
Where love once burned, it leaves a sign

You drew her laugh into your notebook’s spine
And underlined the parts that made it rhyme
But pages tear in different ways
Some fold in half, some drift away

She wasn’t yours to hold or keep
But she still walks inside your sleep

I still chase that stubborn light
Glowing soft, but never right
Even if it breaks me clean
I follow what was never seen

I still chase that stubborn light
Flickering beyond the night
Even if it fades too soon
It pulls the tide like haunted moons

The heart will build what time erodes
A quiet room with locked-up oaths
I saw you burn your final thread
And light a lamp beside your bed

I still chase that stubborn light
Hiding in the things you write
Even if it slips the frame
I love what doesn’t take a name

I still chase that stubborn light
Even when it leaves no sign
It never stayed, but never strayed—
And still it shines
Still it shines

Stubborn Light
