This song is a message between my past and current selfs. 

Me to Me

Produced/Mixed by yours truly. 

This song is about my own struggles in dealing with emotions and in feeling apathetic to most things in life. Which, needless to say, bothers me. The chorus "I need a heart attack... shock my system to enlist in all these things that I want to go.... I want to live this life i've been given." Is saying the cliche "I'd rather feel hurt than nothing," not because I want to feel emotional pain, but I just want to be able to experience life and be emotionally aware. I don't want to just go through my day to day in a bland way. I want to live life.

Apathy

This song is about relationships.  The chorus, "Cause I was just another distraction. As if you'd think I'd really mind. When I was just your current attraction, filling space and killing time." Points out that we just seem to use people in today's society. I've felt used like this before, and sadly, I've used people like this before. We should strive to be open and vulnerable with the ones we care for and start treating people like people. Show compassion, show empathy, be understanding. Stop treating people as distractions.

Distractions

I actually wrote this for school, liked it so much, decided to put it on here.

Mirrors

Lyrics:

Title - Shipwreck


Verse1:
Gimme a minute to breath
give in take out
my essence
just to 
fight back the lethargy
this panic struck conspiracy
how did it come to be
floating in open sea
tired in wait as i’m wading
keep your life vest
rather sink than have you save me

Shock leavin mind
Stepped up dove out
my past i’m 
hopin to
find a way back to me
my hopes and dreams are endlessly
buried on the ocean floor
Ive sailed here once before
But i’m done with the safety I “needed”
Rip tide, castaway,
Pull me to the deep end



Chorus:
I can’t explain just how
I wanted more than this
Jumped ship, red sails, amiss-
take two take five
who’s count-ing

If it was easier
to drift ashore forgot
just how to swim and lost
ambition to stop from drowning 

Verse 2:
I gave myself
My life my time
it drains
from a 
crack in the hourglass
thin walls of a shallow past
If-I only could foretell
Fate writes with a broken quill
Id’ve  sunk the whole ship with the charter
Dive into the sea 
and escape from this hell.
