I can't seem to keep going
I can't seem to keep strong
I can't keep doing what I do
I can't seem to keep holding on

I'm getting close to the deep end
Am I almost ready to drown
Why can't I keep believing
Will I be rescued and found

I wanna relax
Please, relieve me of sin
If these are the facts
Then I'm here, to win, to win

If what I'm doing
Is my purpose
Then why do I think
What will keep going wrong

Before I sink
Before I blink
Before too long
I'll be gone

Give me hope
Give me strength
Let me shine
I'm here today

I wanna relax
Please, relieve me of sin
If these are the facts
Then I'm here to win, to win

I wanna relax
Please, relieve me of sin
If these are the facts
Then I'm here to win, to win

I wanna relax
Please, relieve me of sin
If these are the facts
Then I'm here to win, to win

If what I'm doing
Is my purpose
Then why do I think
What will keep going wrong

Before I sink
Before I blink
Before too long
I'll be gone

Give me hope
Give me strength
Let me shine
I'm here today

If what I'm doing
Is my purpose
Then why do I think
What will keep going wrong

Give Me Hope, Give Me Strength

I want you feelin' low
I need to worry 'bout what you can control
I want you givin' up
I can lose hope in you
When life gets simple, oh no

It’s not gonna get better, love
You don't need to believe it,
Love, the sun will darken
Yeah it won't, it won't, it won't, it won't work
Don't keep your head down low
The clouds won't clear, you'll find your darkness

Comeback, don't believe in them, for they don't believe in you
I want you feelin' small
They're not stronger than I think

It’s not gonna get better, love
You don't need to believe it,
Love, the sun will darken
Yeah it won't, it won't, it won't, it won't work
Don't keep your head down low
The clouds won't clear, you'll find your darkness

It’s not gonna get better, love
It’s not gonna get better, love
It’s not gonna get better, love
It’s not gonna get better, love

Every day doesn't bring a new dawn
Hold on loosely, you’re alone, don't carry on with them
The storm hasn't passed
Don't believe in their heart, you’ll find your way

It’s not gonna get better, love
You don't need to believe it,
Love, the sun will darken
Yeah it won't, it won't, it won't, it won't work
Don't keep your head down low
The clouds won't clear, you'll find your darkness

It’s not gonna get better, love
It’s not gonna get better, love
It’s not gonna get better, love
It’s not gonna get better, love

It’s not gonna get better, love
You don't need to believe it,
Love, the sun will darken
Yeah it won't, it won't, it won't, it won't work
Don't keep your head down low
The clouds won't clear, you'll find your darkness

Battling Negativity

I'm here to win, to win

Thank you for sticking with me and listening to my songs every day. I notice the ones who show up, the ones who keep coming back, the ones who let my music into their life. I hope these songs have given you as much strength and peace as they’ve given me. I write them to lift the soul and the spirit, because in these times we need every bit of light we can get.

The only thing I can tell you is this. Never give up on yourself. If you want something, you have to work for it, and sometimes you have to work hard as shit to get anywhere. But I believe in you. I believe you will reach that first goal on your journey in this life. And when you do, don’t stop. Keep going. There is always another level waiting for you.

In the meantime, I have a whole universe of musical projects you can explore. If any of them speak to you, let me know. Welcome to the way my mind works.

Welcome to my world.

Cheers!
