All of these songs were recorded in one take to a broken cassette tape recorder in March 2025, except for "The Mud" which was recorded to a different broken cassette tape recorded in April of 2020. Truthfully, i couldn't remember how to play it again to re record it with the others.

Falling Apart

“different vibrations” lyrics 

I watched that girl walk out the door 
I didn’t want her then 
I always wanted more 

And she cant hold a conversation 
existing on different vibrations 
Following our own temptations 
Looking for some new sensations

I can give you a shot
If it goes in my brain
Feel my sins wash way
As i stood in the the rain
Bloods dripping down my hands
And into the drain
You really Pull my strings, or wait my chains
just Being mean to fan the flames 
Citing dead poets with long last names

And she cant hold a conversation 
existing on different vibrations 
Following our own temptations 
Looking for some new sensations

Im watching rivers turn to red
Feeling ill cant leave my bed
As Anxious thoughts consume my head

The room was full of cigarettes, 
And liquor bottles 
So bad decisions are sure to follow

Crawling right back to my door
Crashing out lets hit the floor
Shaking hands dont help me pour
Your in pain, well im in more
You said either,  i said or
We went from peace to starting war
Bloody knuckles, wrists are sore
If im a slut then your a whore
Waves are crashing on the shore

And she cant hold a conversation 
existing on different vibrations 
Following our own temptations 
Looking for some new sensations

different vibrations

Raw one-take ukulele cover. I heard “Maps” the other morning, learned it, and hit record. 
Some songs stop being just songs. They end up in my anatomy instantly.

It's hard for me to recognize how much music feels like it is just a part of who I am, to the point that I can admit I have more capacity than I've let myself believe.

I've only been playing the ukulele since February of 2025. I had only heard this song once, and within an hour, I recorded it. Yeah, I'm patting myself on the back because even though it's not perfect, it's real and I did it, and I. FELT. IT - and music is MEANT to -

*make you feel*

Maps – The Front Bottoms (Ukulele Cover by Lacey Diane)

"New Thing" ~ canadian hockey (Lyrics)

Just touched down with a brand new thing
No I won't buy a ring
when I climb in the bed ima make you sing
then perhaps buy some bling
then I check on the game and they late night move
for they get cut in two
I got love for all, and all for you

Buckshot shells
Leave a whole in ya chest 
Every bird has a nest 
and its hunting time
So im wearing my vest
Got a trigger finger
You dont wanna test

Beretta in my waistband 
Im getting dressed
Show it to ya, you know the rest

na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na

Just touched down with a brand new thing
No I won't buy a ring
when I climb in the bed ima make you sing
then perhaps buy some bling
then I check on the game and they late night move
for they get cut in two
I got love for all, and all for you

“holes in my converse” ~ lyrics 

Im concrete stomping 
Walk a mile in my shoes 
I got some holes in my Converse 
And rust on my jewels 
I can give it a shot 
But im not ready to lose 
I need to make a decision 
But im not ready to chose 

You really lift me up
So dont tear me down 
I take things so serious
While your playing around

Can we sleep through the morning?
And then stay up all the night 
Can we wander round the city?
And then walk through the lights 
Can we lock our hands together?
And then hold em tight
Can we run away? Itll be all-right 

Ill be like Steve McQueen 
Be my Ali MacGraw 
I had some pretty thick skin 
But you brought a saw 

Lets be bonnie and Clyde
Or jesse and Jane 
This girl is like a lobotomy 
Buried deep in my brain 

I need her by my side
And then I need her on top of me
Why was I so distant
Well that's the mystery 
Velma Shaggy and Fred
Could never take the mask from me 

Im concrete stomping 
Walk a mile in these shoes 
I got some holes in my converse 
And rust on my jewels 
I can give it a shot 
But im not ready to lose 
I need to make a decision 
But im not ready to chose

holes in my converse

“collect call” lyrics

you wanna call every night,
collect call me, its worth every minute 
my friends all think it wont work
but Its ok, I think I wont listen
they say its not worth my time
but im feeling like it really Isnt
lets never hang up the phone
cuz I hate goodbyes, your one in a million

ya girl

might have left you out in soho
but i didn’t wanna get to know ya
lets talk about the lies, come over
we can fist fight, here comes boulder 
I dont wanna show you cold shoulders
dont wanna hate life sober

And I dont wanna show you cold shoulders
and I dont wanna hate life sober

dont wanna hate life sober
just told your homegirl, got a free bed
and she free to stay over
just for some head, and a little g-rollin
eyes lock back, in a motorola 
say I came fast, but I more than told ya
she a cougar, yeah she more than older
got a nice tan, on the night she ova

you wanna call every night,
collect call me, its worth every minute 
my friends all think it wont work
but Its ok, I think I wont listen
they say its not worth my time
but im feeling like it really Isnt
lets never hang up the phone
cuz I hate goodbyes, your one in a million

just say the time, Ill pack my bags
spend my money on tickets
I can really see a future
its 20/20, a perfect vision 
let’s make it happen sometime
Need you by side, my disposition

✨ Music & words i've been only sharing with paper or keyboards my entire life.
ready to express the raw feelings even if it's scary.

🤍 if you feel it, share it.

Music has always been my home, my safe place, and the language I know how to speak even when my mouth doesn't work. I don't know why, but I feel the most comfortable when I'm on a stage singing. It's like the world falls away.
