I Dont Want To Live  (Prod. Raspo)

“Let’s Break Up” speaks from the quiet place where some veterans find themselves — emotionally worn, misunderstood, and resigned. The narrator isn't angry. He’s tired. Tired of pretending, tired of the miscommunication, tired of watching love slip through the cracks of an invisible battle.

This song captures what happens when a partner doesn't see the war within — the one the veteran fights every day. Instead of dragging someone through their storm, they let go… not because they don’t care, but because they believe it’s kinder. It’s not apathy — it’s surrender.

For those living with mental health injuries, this track is a brutally honest reflection: sometimes love can’t reach the places where pain has taken root. And sometimes, you just don’t have the strength to explain why.

Let's Break Up

“You Have to Be There” explores the quiet anguish of a man struggling with depression. He shows up — physically — but his partner doesn’t understand why he still feels so distant. To her, he’s emotionally absent. To him, he’s broken, silently battling something he can’t explain. This song gives voice to the misunderstood partner, living with invisible wounds that affect their ability to connect.

For many veterans and others suffering from mental health injuries, this is a lived reality: they are told to “just try” or “be present,” but the truth is far more complicated. This track is a reminder that presence isn't always visible — and that love often requires deeper understanding.

You Have to Be There

“I’m Tired” was born from a moment of raw honesty—written late at night last September, during one of those soul-deep seasons when life just feels like too much.

It’s not the tiredness that sleep fixes. It’s the exhaustion that comes from years of fighting, surviving, and hoping against the odds—a tiredness that lives in the spirit, in the quiet spaces behind closed doors.

As Mental Health Awareness Month ends, and as another birthday passes, I wanted to give voice to what so many feel but rarely say out loud: the loneliness of carrying pain in silence, the invisible battle behind the brave face, and the ache of wondering if we’re “too broken” to be loved or healed.

It’s about naming the struggle, without shame or apology, and letting the truth just be—because sometimes, survival is the victory.

This song is a confession, a sigh, a prayer to anyone who’s ever felt spent but still managed to show up for one more day.

It’s a reminder that you’re not alone, and that every breath—no matter how weary—is enough.

And for me, it’s a way of honoring my own journey, one circle ’round the sun at a time.

If you hear yourself in these words, this song is for you.
