I think I'm losing it
I think I'm done
I don't know if I've
Lost or won

My head's in a tailspin
I need control
My head's in a tailspin
I may fold

Unless I can

Regain Control
Of who I am
Regain Control
Of who I am

Keep me holding
Keep me strong
Keep my head in the game
Save me from the wrong

I've made mistakes
I've made leaps
I've seen the fakes
Still come after me 

Unless I can

Regain Control
Of who I am
Regain Control
Of who I am

Keep me holding
Keep me strong
Keep my head in the game
Save me from the wrong

I've made mistakes
I've made leaps
I see the fakes
I've made mistakes
I've made leaps
I've seen the fakes

Regain Control
Of who I am
Regain Control
Of who I am

Regain Control

I want to believe in you
I want you to win
I want you to get what you want
I want you to begin

To be the best person
You've ever been
To be the best person
Take yourself for a spin

You've been selling yourself short
For too long

All along

I want you to begin

The Courage of the Dragon
The Courage of the Dragon

While in truth
You're stronger than you think
Stronger than what you imagine
Stronger than most
Stronger, like the dragon

Now, I think I've woken you up
It's time for you to fly
If they're fire in the sky
It's time you go high

The Courage of the Dragon
The Courage of the Dragon

I want to believe in you

I want you to get what you want

Darkness
Silence
They both seem to fit

Why do I think
That no one
Will ever care

Why do I think
That no one
Will ever listen

Find your power
Find your power

They will see
When I've begun
To believe

Believe in me
Believe in
What I am supposed to be

No one will
Be able to stop me
No one will have my strength

No one will know my love
No one will withstand
The day

Of

My reign
My triumph
My victory
My success

Find your power
Find your power

No one will
Be able to stop me
No one will have my strength

No one will know my love
No one will withstand
The day

Of

No one will
Be able to stop me
No one will have my strength

No one will know my love
No one will withstand
The day

Of
Of
Of

My Reign

Don't give up
Keep going strong
You'll get out of this mess
You'll keep moving along

Don't give up
Keep going strong
You'll get out of this mess
You'll keep moving along

The strength within you
The strength you got
The strength you seek
The strength you lost

Was gone
Was over
Was done
Was finished

Don't give up
Keep going strong
You'll get out of this mess
You'll keep moving along

Don't give up
Keep going strong
You'll get out of this mess
You'll keep moving along

Is finally, back
It's you get back
You don't lack
You don't crack

Don't give up
Keep going strong
You'll get out of this mess
You'll keep moving along

Don't give up
Keep going strong
You'll get out of this mess
You'll keep moving along

Don't Give Up!

In this silence
I sit here and think
When will the day come
When will I be unique

What can I do
To make things happen
Do I let them believe
Or do I fake a happy

I want the best
That life has to offer
I want the best
That life has to offer

In the silence
I dream of the greatest
Affecting the world
Injecting the latest

This love is for the world
This love is for you
This love is for the night
This love is not blue

I find that I still care
I find that I still love
I find that I can believe
I find that I can rise above

The fire
The ashes
The rubble
The torn
The destroyed
The damaged
The devastation
The burn

I want the best
That life has to offer
I want the best
That life has to offer

In the silence
I dream of the greatest
Affecting the world
Injecting the latest

This love is for the world
This love is for you
This love is for the night
This love is not blue

I find that I still care
I find that I still love
I find that I can believe
I find that I can rise above

Dream of Greatness

In this silence
I sit here and think
When will the day come
When will I be unique

What can I do
To make things happen
Do I let them believe
Or do I fake a happy

I want the best
That life has to offer
I want the best
That life has to offer

In the silence
I dream of the greatest
Affecting the world
Injecting the latest

This love is for the world
This love is for you
This love is for the night
This love is not blue

I find that I still care
I find that I still love
I find that I can believe
I find that I can rise above

The fire
The ashes
The rubble
The torn
The destroyed
The damaged
The devstation
The burn

I want the best
That life has to offer
I want the best
That life has to offer

In the silence
I dream of the greatest
Affecting the world
Injecting the latest

This love is for the world
This love is for you
This love is for the night
This love is not blue

I find that I still care
I find that I still love
I find that I can believe
I find that I can rise above

The light comes up
I see the destruction
The light comes up
I see the destruction

Can I do this
I think I'm all right
Can I do this
I think I'm fine

Embrace My Power
Embrace My Power

there's more to life
Than materials things
Take my time
Don't let it control
Or bother me

I got this
I got it good
I got this
I got it good

Embrace My Power
Embrace My Power

Can I do this
I think I'm all right
Can I do this
I think I'm fine

Embrace My Power
Embrace My Power
Embrace My Power

Embrace My Power
Embrace My Power
there's more to life
Than materials things

Take my time
Don't let it control
Or bother me

I got this
I got it good
I got this
I got it good

Embrace My Power
Embrace My Power

Embrace My Power

Still itching at me
Still tugging at me
Stop reminding me
That there's no peace

What is it
What happened to me
What did I do
Why can't I see

Takes my mind
Takes my soul
I need to break 
The spells, unfold

My troubled heart
My troubled mind
I need more power
I seek more divine

Devil steals love 
Devil steals control
Devil bleeds all
Devil is no hope

It's more than food
It's more hate
It's more than gold
Save my soul, today

It will take your soul
Take your my mind
Drain your heart
Drain your sight

I need to fly 
Into the air
Avoid this hate
Don't want to dare

Save my mind
Save my soul
I need to break 
These spells, unfold

I need the strength
I need the rest
Fear no evil
Seek the best

Lift me up
I need to stand
Soon recover
I need your hand

Save my mind
Save my soul
I need to break 
These spells, unfold
And, Let it all go!

Devil steals love 
Devil steals control
Devil steals control
Devil steals control
Devil steals control
Devil steals control

I need to let it all go
I need to let it all go
I need to let it all go

It's more than food
It's more hate
It's more than gold
Save my soul, today

It will take your soul
Take your my mind
Drain your heart
Drain your sight

I need to fly 
Into the air
Avoid this hate
Don't want to dare

Save my mind
Save my soul
I need to break 
These spells, unfold

Avoid the hate
Avoid this hate
Don't want to dare

Fight Inner Demons

Lost in a little world
Don't know how to get out
Feel that something has been lost
Feel like someone has given up

What is it
What am I doing
Who am I trying to impress
Who am I trying to get

Trapped
Trapped
Trapped in a box

I had no clue
I had no clue
There was no news
Because I was so blue

If I only believed in myself
Back then
If I only believed in myself
Back then

Trapped
Trapped
Trapped in a box

Was I ever gonna to get save
Or was I stuck in hell
Was I ever gonna to get save
Or was I stuck in hell

What is it
What am I doing
Who am I trying to impress
Who am I trying to get

Trapped
Trapped
Trapped in a box

I had no clue
I had no clue
There was no news
Because I was so blue

If I only believed in myself
Back then
If I only believed in myself
Back then
Back then
Back then
Back then

Was I ever gonna to get save
Or was I stuck in hell
Was I ever gonna to get save
Or was I stuck in hell

Was I okay
Was I okay
Did I need some help
Did I need some help

Trapped
Trapped
Trapped in a box

I see some light
I may be saved
I see some light
Let's make this day

Even if I'm still,

Trapped
Trapped
Trapped in a box

Stuck in Hell

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!
