Berklee Spring ‘21 Songs for Social Change (S4SC) 
S4SC-21 Invited Showcase Performer

I wrote this song about my own personal relationship with my gender, sexuality, and identity in general. This song also speaks about my own discomfort around talking about it, either because of my own confusion or my fear of judgement. We are expected to put our own experiences in a box, when in reality, life is grey. I hope that whether you struggle with your identity in particular, or you just simply don't like how you're perceived at times, you find comfort in this song.

lyrics:

Learning manifestation
Hoping I could change my hue
Since elementary graduation
I was sick of pinks and blues

Another self-investigation
No result is guaranteed
They don’t get the hesitation
When they ask who I wanna be

It’s grey

Feeling somewhere in the middle
Wishing for a different face
When the world makes me feel little
But somehow still take too much space

I try new clothes, I try new names
Still there’s so much left undiscovered
Never thought a part of me’d be pink
Until I kissed someone rose-colored

But still, it’s grey

And I don’t understand the boxes
Or the bubbles or the lines
And I don’t wanna talk about it
When the feeling’s only mine
Sitting somewhere in the center
Or on a whole other scale

So I’ll be grey

grey

Seen the One Take Acoustic set of this and got inspired to build production around it.

BLOOD REDO

i was sick when i recorded this
song idea

all in my head (voice memo) 12/29/22

Feb 17

Angelina cover 3-5

footsteps (quick little song)

I wish that I could punch a hole through the universe
get out my journals and read you every word
Teardrops on every page over all that went and came
White dress in the pouring rain, never mind my age

Let me go, I can feel your grip
I can feel control, and its pulling me in
let me go, you aren't offering anything 
but taking my soul for your own

All the shame behind the scenes that you couldn't see
I'd smile passively, all make believe
your little bird beneath the trees, just hide and seek
oh how it rains every night, falling right on to me

...

lifeless marijuana eyes, prescription medicate
put out all the lullabies that you ever sang

...

Oh I don't know what it's like to feel like you
it must be sad
Oh it's all the things you do
making you look so bad

For Your Own

I'm not sure you really care
I'm not sure you really care
and I feel wrong for the situation 

never been this bad before
panic attacks in the kitchen 
sometimes I see you like I did
and sometimes it freaks me out

I'm not sure you really care
I'm not sure you really care
and I feel wrong for the situation 

sad record in my head
I can't make it stop spinning
all I do is lay in bed
by tomorrow it'll be snowing

I'll be better in the morning
I'll be better in the morning
I'll be better in the morning
I'll be better in the morning

In the Morning

I Told You So
