Death Wish

Sick and Tired

Love’s Not Real

Be Good The Crazy Boys

He Dances Light

Priorities

The Wheel

I wrote this on the acoustic guitar but immediately heard Electronic, Rock, Reggae, Latin and even some Jazz subconscious influences. I decided to go with synth and bass to see if I could build a heavy groove without drums. I used a shaker and a Rhodes style piano to add layers of energy and help drive the track forward. Emotionally for me, this song is energetic but still breathes with space to reflect on moments when a loved one seems to be pulling away. 

Lyrics:

So now we’re waiting
We thought that we made it
Can’t fill the empty
With memories spent
We were foolish and filthy

I caught you longing
Who am I to say that it’s the wrong thing
To pull your focus
And live like a ghost is
The world you have chosen

And now my hardest day
Is the one when I’m least afraid
And although you tried
There’s so much left unexplained
When the one that you’re closest to
Was not the one you came running to
When you felt betrayed

Now I’m seeking
Answers from someone not speaking
If not for hard times
Cold nights and smart lies
My faith wouldn’t fit right

Now the hardest truth
Is the one that I always knew
And the deepest blue
Is the one that I dove into
We practiced our whole lives
And picked the sharpest of the knives
So it’d run clean through

And still we’re breathing
Still aching, still healing
Nothing’s ending
These plates will keep spinning
When we stop pretending

Someone Not Speaking

I was wanting more from 
someone growing tired of 
needing anyone
and you were breaking 
before my blind eyes
ever taken are the ones with 
hearts too good to run
and I knew that you were one

show me what it was to love 
and make yourself completely
free of worldly things
you gave up all your needs to need me
can you start to see 
a change is coming freely
never had much use 
for fabricating hidden meaning
how did we become 
just like the ones we 
said we’d never be

from your neckline 
down the smoothest skin 
tracing your spine
was the last time 
I felt like this could end
now I feel it 
and what I want the most 
is to heal it and slowly 
to reveal
what we both knew was real

can we do away 
with everything life replacing
holding closer as distractions 
go on truth erasing
can you start to see 
a change is coming freely
never had much use 
for fabricating hidden meaning
let us not become 
about what someone 
reads upon a screen

can we tap into the past 
when you knew me
a change has run its course 
and cut itself right through me
can you start to see 
a change is coming freely
never had much use 
fabricating hidden meaning
what if you were wrong 
what you thought was gone
was as real as it could be
would a girl like you end up 
with a guy like 
can we tap into the past 
when you knew me
a change has run its course 
and cut itself right through me
can you start to see 
a change is coming freely
never had much use 
fabricating hidden meaning
what if you were wrong
what you thought was gone
was as real as it could be

Fabricating Hidden Meaning (9/11/25)

new moving

This song is subtitled "Optimism." It is uplifting and cheery, and quite the toe-tapper. It is encouragement to look on the brighter side of things.
