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

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

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!
