Grief so insurmountable 
Pain becomes accountable 
Faces looking at us 

We didn’t want to be 
The talk of the town 
An excuse for the good 
We didn’t want to go through this 
Cause nobody should 

You’re no longer here 
When I need you the most 
With every tear 
I wanna hold you so close 

Theres an empty chair 
Where you should be sitting 
And a wondering prayer 
That we’ve been repeating 

Come home
Come home 
Come home 

What is pain anyway? 
It’s taking it day by day 
One step at a time 

When you’ve cried every tear 
That has ever cried 
With something like this 
Part of you soul dies 

The world isn’t clear 
Since you’ve departed 
Life shifts a different gear 
When all of this starts and 

Everyday 
We’re closer to the bottom
Every night 
Just thankful that we got him 

Come home
Come home 
Come home 

The moment you left 
Time stood still
Our mind and our hearts 
Are in rebuild 

Let me feel how I feel 
Let me sob at your knee 
Hold me tight now 
To find reality 

Come home 
Come home 
Come home

And we’re sitting at the edge of the bed 
With a thousand voices in our head 
Are we out of the woods? 
No, just going through the motions 
Our soul is buried 
Yes, drowning in the oceans 

And the grievers come (yeah) a dime a dozen 
Well intentioned 
But did they really love him? 

Theres an empty chair 
That we have been saving 
A new life now 
That we have been braving 

Come home
Come home 
Come home

Empty Chair

Got your memories 
Clinched to your heart 
A new feeling 
Begins to start 

And that voice 
Inside your head 
And the city you left 
Where you lied in your childhood bed 

Ohh ohh ohhh 

Losing a part of me 
To set a new chapter free
To escape their imprisonment 
It felt like pure sabotage 
To foil my entourage 
And the memories - lost them all 
Distant now- Like a piano playing down the hall 

(Vocalazation) 

Foiled at every turn 
Things you’ve done 
Are lessons now learned 
Thanks and I forgive you-

Are nothing but a something 
Behind a false narrative 
Came for my people 
Just burn the world and them 

I love my city 
I cherish these walls 
The music it brings
Like memories down the hall 
playing down the hall

(vocalizations)

Down The Hall

Walking in the same way 
Working in the same vein 
just do it and do it and do it 

We’ve still got miles to go 
And you're the one taking it slow 
Can’t do it and do it and do it 

Losing a part of me
Cause you took it free 
Please leave it, please leave it, please leave it 

And I...I think that you manifested this 
And oh...you love me so much you can’t resist
And I... I don’t want any part of you 
You had to know I would become someone you knew 

Had some good times, yeah 
Memories that'll try ya 
I’ll use and use it and use it 

You saw me from far away 
Took tomorrow and today 
Abused it abused it abused it 

And once we were finished through 
You caught my friends and family too 
don’t do it and do it and do it 
And I...I think that you manifested this 
And oh...you love me so much you can’t resist
And I... I don’t want any part of you 
You had to know I would become someone you knew 

Now we’re swing on own ways 
And those were the dog days 
Don’t hate it, don't hate it, don't hate it  

Trying to retrace my steps 
To see all those who you effect 
Can’t find it, can't find it, can't find it

Slipping through your fingers 
regret still lingers 
Destroy it. destroy it, destroy it 

And I...I think that you manifested this 
And oh...you love me so much you can’t resist
And I... I don’t want any part of you 
You had to know I would become someone you knew 

Lots of words left unsaid 
Closure that left me dead 
Ohhhhhhhhh 

Laying all the burdens down 
Feelings that have been drowned 
Ohhhhhhhhh 

I forgave to your soul 
But to you, yeah that take a toll 
Won’t do it, won't do it, won't do it 

And I...I think that you manifested this 
And oh...you love me so much you can’t resist
And I... I don’t want any part of you 
You had to know I would become someone you knew 

You had to know I would become someone you knew

And I...I think that you manifested this 
And oh...you love me so much you can’t resist
And I... I don’t want any part of you 
You had to know I would become someone you knew 

BOOOOO!!!

Someone You Knew

When I saw the ending before me 
And it looked like a new beginning 
I wanted to jump off the edge
And push my feet towards the ledge

Every breath I take 
And move I make 
I want to be farther from you 

I wanna go to a town where no-one knows my name 
I need a hide away 
A h-h-h-ide away 
I need a hide away 
To hide myself away 

And as I sat in the restaurant on the corner 
I longed for to pull of my armor  
I looked at all in that place 
And saw all the dreams that they chase 

Every step I take 
And every change I make 
I want to be further from you 

I wanna go to a town where no-one knows my name 
I need a hide away 
A h-h-h-ide away 
I need a hide away 
To hide myself away 

Mhmhmmm 

And I don’t want to compare myself 
To anybody else  
Tired of why’d you do this 
And tired of why’d you do that 
Tired of all reasons you want me to fail and fall flat 

In every city I live 
Not much I wouldn’t give 
To get further from you 

I wanna go to a town where no-one knows my name 
I need a hide away 
A h-h-h-ide away 
I need a hide away 
To hide myself away 

I need a hide away 
A h-h-h-ide away 
I need a hide away 
To hide myself away 

I'll hide myself away 

See you on the other side 
I might fail 
But at least I tried 

oooohhhh

Hide Away

Dear I, 
How ya doing? 
How ya living? 
I see you’re well 

Dear I,  
You’re one step closer 
To disaster 
It won’t be grade A

But you’ll weather this storm 
Conquer this norm 
Take it from me 
An old friend 

Dear I, 
Behind that door 
Shut-in your face 
It’ll open again 

Dear I, 
Bruised and guarded 
From your loved ones 
Break that wall  

Dear I, 
Hurt and wounded 
Forgive and forget 
Step out of that cloud 

But you’ll live through this break 
Do whatever it takes 
Take it from me 
An old friend 

Dear I, 
You have plans 
Plans for the future 
They’ll laugh in your face 

Dear I, 
Dare I say,
When you grow you get better 
Day by day 

You’ll survive this drought 
I have zero doubts 
Take it from me 
An old friend 

Dear Me, 
How you doing? 
How you living? 
I hear you’re alive 

Dear Me, 
I love you 
In every way 
More and more every day 
 
Cause you’ve conquered storms
Changed from norm to norm 
Take it from me 
You’re gonna be okay 

Sincerely￼, 
With all my best, 
Your old friend...

Dear I,

Living in everything I wanted to say 
Longing and praying for just one more day 

Brother oh brother of mine 
One more day is totally fine 
Twenty four hours tonight 
I think it’ll be more than alright 

Hope we don’t test the fates 
But let's risk it before its too late 
I’ll get married and so will you 
Get your dog back and your degree too 

You’ll watch your nephews play 
And my plays are all today 
Shoot your last hole in one 
With your dad who’s already won 

And brother oh brother of mine 
One more day is totally fine 
Twenty four hours tonight 
I think it’ll be more than alright 

Attend the church for once in a while 
Wear what’s your signature style 
Play with us at the table 
And pray with us while you’re able  

Tell us how it is 
Describe all that’s His 
Is it like they say? 
And how’d it happen anyway? 

Hold our momma’s hand 
And tell her that He had all this planned 
And look me in the eye 
Tell me your soul don’t go when you die 

And brother oh brother of mine 
One more day is totally fine 
Twenty four hours tonight 
I think it’ll be more than alright 

And then you’ll have to go back 
And then we’re back to black 
Dreary old Sunday morning 
Where mourning is just a pressing warning 

We danced together 
We drank together 
Did all the things brothers should do together 

Robbed of all the first times 
Dames upon your earned dimes 

And brother oh brother of mine 
One more day is totally fine 
Twenty four hours tonight 
I think it’ll be more than alright

Ohhh
oh oh ohhhh
oh ohhhhh
Robbed of all the first times
ohhhhhh

Brother Oh Brother

When I was child 
I felt so strange and wild 
Looking at the stars at night 

When I was a child 
I Felt so beguiled 
Running against space and time 

When I grew old 
Oh the things I was told 
Empty hearts die alone 

When I grew old 
My soul turned cold 
Oh the things I should’ve known 

Oh the stars are brighter with you 
The heights are higher with you
And my hearts is lighter with you 
And the words ya’ say are truer than true 

And my soul’s much better 
My soul’s much brighter 
You took this wounded 
man and made him a fighter 

When you were a child 
Felt so strange and wild 
Looking at clouds for warmth 

When you were a child 
Felt so beguiled 
Lost it at seventeen 

When you grew old 
You ignored what your told 
But you saw the best in everything 

When you grew old 
You saw shapes in the clouds 
In the form of human beings 

Oh the stars are brighter with you 
The heights are higher with you
And my hearts is lighter with you 
And the clouds are much whiter with you 

And my soul’s much better 
My soul’s much brighter 
You took this wounded man
and made him a fighter

Fighter

Hey y’all! What’s up? I hope you’re doing well. I’m just a homeschooler venturing out into the world as a college student. I have loved music and songwriting for as long as I can remember. Thank you for listening to my stuff! I don’t play any instruments but I love lyrics and try my hardest to put together a complete sound through garage band 🤷‍♂️😆 I so appreciate you listening and sharing. Hope your day is full of lots of positivity and that you can find yourself in my music! -Oakley
