I lay outside, looking up
Another ground made out of clouds above
They block the light; I guess they always do
And so do I
And to my right: blooming love
That I don't think I think about enough
And they're alive; I guess because of you
And so am I

Would you say you
Decided to rise today
I'll find you a rose to say that I guess that I love you
And that's exactly what I'll do
It's on the way but I don't want to get

Blurred vision, blurred too long
Longing for your touch
Heard you could kiss the sun
But can you earn her love
Blurred vision, blurred too long
Longing for your touch
Heard you could kiss the sun
But can you earn her love
Is this rose enough

Outside again, reading from
A dozen dances from the clouds above
I see myself getting close to you
I'm overwhelmed
And to my right
Posies bloom
Pink and blue
Thanks to you
Wrap them up, and they're arranged to say
I love

Miss you
Keep you
Miss you
I'll keep you warm
Miss you
Keep you
Miss you
I'll keep you

Blurred vision, blurred too long
Longing for your touch
Heard you could kiss the sun
But can you earn her love
Blurred vision, blurred too long
Longing for your touch
Heard you could kiss the sun
But can you earn her love
Is this rose enough

I lay outside, looking up
Another ground made out of clouds above
I love you

Posy

A cover of probably the best Audioslave song eva. Attempting to sound even remotely close to Cornell was difficult at the very least.

Like A Stone (AudioSlave Cover)

I never got to tell you
everything I had to say
we just didn't have the time
cause you had to go away

I hope you know I miss you
wish that you could see me now
although I'm nothin' special
I still know that you'd be proud

you taught me so much and asked for so little
and now you're
gone

your stern words were my teacher
your kind eyes were my guide
promised that you'd wait for me
when you reached the other side
wish that I could go there with you
that you never had to leave
then we'd never have to cry
we'd never have to grieve
we would't have to miss you

part of me's been numb
ever since you went away
you left me with so many things
I'll never get to say
I hope you know I love you
wish that I could see you now
part of you lives on with me
I don't have to miss you now
but I still miss you anyway

all the things I took for granted
are the things that I miss most
can't talk to a memory
or wrap my arms around a ghost
didn't use the time that we had
just thought there'd be more
didn't get to say good bye
wish we could go back to before

cause I still miss you


Wouldn't Have To Miss You

How do you see the world
does it shine in black & white
some people don't change
because they never see the light
it's all about perception
and the things that you perceive
it's all about belief
and all the things that you believe

it's all about to change
why don't you go try somethin' new
just go out and do all of the
things you've wanted to
you can't see the horizon
if you keep it outta range if you
 change the way you look at things
the things you look at change

 it's time to look at life
from a different point of view
everything looks different with each
set of eyes that you look through
some people they are blind
blind to those in need
see the world through different eyes
and see where life can lead

it's all about to change
show them all what you can be
tear down your mental fortress
and they will finally see
there's no problem you can't solve nothing
   can't be re-arranged
 when you change the way you look at things
the things you look at change

you live with your eyes open
but somehow are still blind
take the time to look around
you never know what you may find
it can lead you to the promised land
farther than you've ever been
if you look a little closer
you'll see things you've never seen


Change

Bully (Three Days Grace Cover)

A song I wrote for a coffee house. The lead guitar is the vocal melody because I have yet to write lyrics, but it sounds cool this way too. Thanks for listening! 

Where I Belong (Demo)

Breaking The Silence (Breaking Benjamin Cover)

I did this cover 5 years ago, so time to see what I sound like now.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird

Blackbird (Beatles Cover)

Another cloudy day
Full of rain
The fourth one in a row

I feel alone
I miss my mom
So I call back home
And say
                                              
These are the things that I did this week
This is the person that I want to be
These are the memories that I want to keep
Make the seconds count


A beautiful day
But I feel the same
My clouds block out the sun
Try to be better
I blame the weather
I’ll wait for fall to come

These are the things that I did this week
This is the person that I want to be
These are the memories I want to keep
Make the seconds count

I watch time pass
Think it forgot about me
All I can do 
is just breathe

We fill our voids with promises and people
Hoping that today’s a better day
I appreciate the sadness, it is beautiful
Growing towards something new 
Counteract the grey with blue	
I think this might be the only way

My Clouds

Been down a long, hard road
A little worn out from the drive
I'm miserable and all alone
I guess the worst part is over
The damage has been done
I don't miss my old life
'Cause I'm having too much fun

Been a long hard journey
Got no place to come back to
Unsure about the future
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Traveled through some tricky paths
Had to carry heavy loads
Might run out of hopes and dreams
But I'm never running out of roads

Now I'm on a brand new road
Looking forward to the ride
Got a lot of things to do
Lots of places left to try
Live for my own reason
Under no one else's thumb
I feel so alive again
Was so sick of feeling numb

Been a long hard journey
Got no place to come back to
Unsure about the future
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Traveled through some tricky paths
Had to carry heavy loads
Might run out of hopes and dreams
But I'm never running out of roads

Been down so many broken roads
Thought the roads would never end
Made a friend or two along the way
Maybe there are more around the bend
I've been shot down so many times
You'll never make it I've been told
I might run out of self-esteem
But I'm never running out of roads

Roads

Even though I can’t have it all
I have found the things that make me happy
Even when my world starts to fall
I surround myself with the ones that that truly have me 

I have found my place
To stay
And that is the place where you are right beside me
I just want to hold
You close
I’ll be thinking back this is a perfect memory

This song is to say
That I’ll be okay
Better than okay, I’ll be happy
Cause today, I’m yours
Better than today, let’s call it forever
Happiest when we are together

Cause even though I can’t have it all
I can have someone who truly adores me
This feeling’s insane
 Must be a dream
This blissful state
Hope I never wake




My eyes, they dart open
To see the cold empty space beside me
There was never anyone beside me
There will never be anyone beside me
Just go back to sleep

Even though I can’t have it all
I have found the things that make me happy
The problem is they’re not real at all
I feel myself begin to fall
Back to sleep
Back to you

Even Though

I find myself looking back to the summer
My hand on your thigh
As you and I drive
My heart in your hand
I felt so alive

We’d lay on a blanket
Stare at the trees
Talk sweet nothings
And just feel at peace
I showed you my feelings
I was all in 
Wake up to you
Go back to sleep to wake up again
This could be my life

A miracle
The butterfly
Nothing could wreck
These simple times
A miracle
The butterfly
I’ll be happy forever
With this life
This could be my life

I look back to these moments
Reflect on the feelings
But when autumn fell on us
I felt you receding

The timing could wreck
These simple times
The terrible truth
You’ve made up your mind

We worked so hard
And got so close
I let myself 
Feel vulnerable
Something was off
We couldn’t commit
Start Insecurity
And hope for a fix

A miracle 
The butterfly
Nothing could wreck these simple times
A miracle the butterfly 
Just hold  on and we’ll be fine

This could be my life
That day in September
Our first difficult time
I can’t remember
What I said crossed that line

To be avoided
To think you need space
To be reassured
To go to your place

We laughed and felt happy
Everything felt great
But something was missing
Your decision, my fate

I won’t let you see my cry

A miracle
The butterfly
Nothing could wreck
These simple times
A miracle
The butterfly
Just hold on and we’ll be fine

A miracle
The butterfly
Nothing could wreck these simple times
A miracle
The butterfly
The decision made
Let it die

Could this be my life?

A Miracle

Please take a moment
A single moment, all you need
A life to reflect on
Don’t let go until you’ve found peace

Since you first opened your eyes
Those beautiful brown eyes
You became my reason
The purpose of life

The laughter in our home
The passion in your soul

 Life in moments
Not simply in years 
Don’t lose focus
Please, no more tears
Life’s made of moments
Curse this disease
You only have hours
Let’s find peace
When your whole world changes
Because of someone you meet
You know the feeling
This is what I want you to see

Your smile lights the room
The white walls here shine brighter
Your last moment in this world
Gone far too soon

 This sadness etched in stone
Our daughter’s not coming home 

Life in moments
Not simply in years 
I’ve lost focus
Can’t stop the tears
Life’s made of moments
Curse this disease
In your final hours
I hope you found peace

In the moment
Love the moment
Be the moment
Wave goodbye

The Moment

What I lack in talent
I make it up in heart
know I'll never get there if
I'm afraid to start
they tell me that I can't
But I'm still gonna try
tell me that it can't be done
but they can't tell me why


Of course you're gonna fail
if you're too scared to try
if you never spread your wings
you're never gonna fly

don't 
let em' make your choice for you don't 
let em' hold you down cause 
if you don't use those wings
you'll never leave the ground
don't you be 
afraid to fly

it's time for me to kiss the clouds
and face my greatest fear
rise above my self-esteem
fly so high I'll dissapear
no longer bound by gravity
floating free into the sky
I'm not scared of anything
which makes me free to fly

breaking all the boundaries
soaring overhead
learning more about myself
so they can follow where I've lead
the sky is not the limit
I'm soaring oh so high
find it hard to believe
I was once afraid to fly

if I have got nothin' left
I'll still give it my all
pick myself up everytime
I won't be scared to fall
I'll take the damage head on
I won't even close my eyes
spread my wings & soar away
 unafraid to fly

Afraid To Fly
