Lyrics:  

Title: It Is What It Is.

The blueprint changed, the path diverged, A masterpiece once clear, now blurred. 
Chasing dreams that slipped away, In this perpetual labyrinth of night and day. 

Breathe in, breathe out, let it be, This moment's ours, from struggle free. 
The old thoughts fade, the new ones bloom, breaking free from yesterday's gloom. 

 It is what it is, feel the river's flow, Embrace the moments, let your spirit grow. 
Find your anchor, steady your heart, Breathe in, breathe out, make a fresh start.

When the phone call brings unexpected news, Missed chances, painted in different hues. 
The daily grind wears thin and worn, Yet in each dawn, a new day born. 

Breathe in, breathe out, hold on tight. This moment's ours, in the fading light. 
The old thoughts fade, new seeds are sown, In every challenge, strength is grown. 

It is what it is, feel the river's flow, Embrace the moments, let your spirit grow. 
Find your anchor, steady your heart, Breathe in, breathe out, make a fresh start.

Every crooked bend, every thorny vine, a deeper wisdom, truly divine. 
Lessons learned in whispers low, In the quiet, our spirits grow. 

It is what it is, feel the river's flow, Embrace the moments, let your spirit grow. 
Find your anchor, steady your heart, Breathe in, breathe out, make a fresh start.

It is what it is, a whispered truth, The gentle wisdom of now from youth. 
In every choice, a chance to see, The beauty in life, and all it can be.

We’re sorry but the number you dialed is no longer in service…

wrong number (alternative)

Lyrics 

Cold neon rain on a Saturday crowd,
food-court thunder, escalators loud.
I count the cracks in a borrowed heart,
shopping bags sway like battle scars.


I mouth a question to the moving glass—
are you out there, breathing what I breathe?


Under the neon we pass like ghosts,
same wound beating in different chests.
Miles apart in the same bright hall,
souls brush sleeves—we walk right by and never know.


You trace your name in a window’s steam,
return the smile that never leaves.
Two black suns in a mirrored sky,
both of us learning how to lie.


Left side up, right side down—
your eyes find mine, then drown in light.


Under the neon we pass like ghosts,
same wound beating in different chests.
Miles apart in the same bright hall,
souls brush sleeves—we walk right by and never know.


Atrium hush—fluorescent stars,
footsteps bloom like tiny wars.
If fate is code, we missed the key;
if love is fire, we’re smoke and steam.


We walk right by! We walk right by!
(heart drums, black sky—we walk right by!)


Under the neon we pass like ghosts,
same wound beating in different chests.
If there’s a map inside these lights,
draw the line—don’t let us walk right by.


Somewhere a signal, two pulses rhyme.

Bad Love

Silent Secrets

The Continuing Bonds theory proposes that rather than letting go of a deceased loved one, people maintain an ongoing, internal relationship with them.

 This theory challenges traditional grief models that focus on detachment, suggesting that grief involves a transformation of the relationship, not its termination. 

Continuing bonds can manifest as tangible keepsakes, memories, a sense of the deceased's presence, or even ongoing dialogues, allowing the bereaved to find new ways to connect and make meaning in their lives after loss.  

Save Me a Seat in Heaven

Lyrics:

Verse
Another blind soul asking for direction
This dead end street
It's paved with good intentions
It's not too late to change your course of action
Better do it soon
'Cause you're headin' for a crashin'
I can't be the one to save you

Chorus
I ain't here to do favors

Verse 2
When you look in the mirror
What do you see?
Do you see a hero? Or do you see a freak?
Well
I don't have time to make you understand
Go ahead and cry
Child
It's not my problem
No one gives a damn if you cry

Chorus
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors

Bridge
No one gives a damn if you cry
I can't be the one to save you

Chorus
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors

Ain't Here To Do Favors
