[Verse 1]
She walks like a wildfire through a summer drought
Heart full of thunder, mind full of doubt
Laughs like trouble, cries like rain
And love’s just a word she don’t entertain

[Pre-Chorus]
She’s a one-way road with a dead-end sign
Can’t pin her down, can’t make her mine

[Chorus]
She’s haywire and hollow, a storm with no name
Chasin’ the wind, never staying’ the same
Got a ghost in her mirror, fire in her veins
You hold her too tight, she’ll snap like a chain
Yeah, she’s wild, untamed, full of sorrow
She haywire and hollow

[Verse 2]
She wears black leather like it’s armor and skin
Got a past she won’t talk about buried within
Whiskey on her lips, smoke in her soul
Dancing’ with shadows she can’t control

[Pre-Chorus]
She’s got that stare that’ll freeze your flame
But she don’t believe love ain’t just a game

[Chorus]
She’s haywire and hollow, a storm with no name
Chasin’ the wind, never staying’ the same
Got a ghost in her mirror, fire in her veins
You hold her too tight, she’ll snap like a chain
Yeah, she’s wild, untamed, full of sorrow
She haywire and hollow

[Bridge]
Some say she’s broken, some say she’s brave
I say she’s beauty that no one can save
She rides like a whisper, she leaves like a gun
You’ll miss her forever, but she won’t miss one

[Final Chorus – bigger, louder]
She’s haywire and hollow, heartbreak in heels
Don’t care what’s fake, don’t care what’s real
Got scars like stories, tears she won’t show
A soul like the desert, too dry to grow
Yeah, she’s wild, untamed, hard to follow
She haywire and hollow

[Outro – quiet and haunting]
Yeah, haywire and hollow...
But I loved her so............................

This one wasn’t written for applause.
It wasn’t made to impress, or to go viral, or to fix the pain.
It’s what comes after all that.

This One’s for Me is the sound of a man clearing his head, not burning bridges.
It’s not a cry for help. It’s not a callout.
It’s the deep breath you take when you’ve carried the weight too long
and finally say:
“Fuck it. I’m still here.”

You’ve heard the heartbreak.
You’ve heard the silence.
You’ve felt the fear of being unseen.

This track?
It’s the moment you stop chasing everyone’s approval
and start singing for the only person who needed it:
you.

No claps.
No filters.
No fuckin’ shame.

This is the most honest moment on the whole EP —
and it’s the one where the artist finally steps out of the algorithm
and back into his own skin.


This One’s for Me

Guiding Light

Dirt

This song reflects back on a time when I was a kid spending time with my dad and how fast it goes away. Make those memories each day and smile. Life is a beautiful thing when we embrace it and live it!

V1.
The key to leaving behind the past
Is to lock it up and walk away.
And if I never shut that door
I’d always be tempted to stay
But this door looks like a mirror
And this reflection’s starting to show it
It don’t take much to quit 
And I’ll be gone before you know it.

Chorus
In the junk drawer in my kitchen
There’s a ring that’s filled with keys
They unlock everything I’ve owned
And they aid in my disease
I never want to turn back time
And be the things I was before
I’d be better off if I lost every one,
Because old keys don’t open new doors.

V2.
There’s the key to my first apartment.
The one we shared before I got burned
And the keys to every car I’ve crashed
And the lessons that I learned.
The keys to my failed hopes and dreams
The ones that you begged me to start.
And then there’s the key I hate the most
The one that unlocks my great big heart.

Chorus
In the junk drawer in my kitchen
There’s a ring that’s filled with keys
They unlock everything I’ve owned
And they aid in my disease
I never want to turn back time
And be the things I was before
I’d be better off if I lost every one,
Because old keys don’t open new doors

Bridge
The key to moving forward
And the key to moving on
Are the only keys I’m taking 
‘Cos I’m packed up and gone

Chorus
In the junk drawer in my kitchen
There’s a ring that’s filled with keys
They unlock everything I’ve owned
And they aid in my disease
I never want to turn back time
And be all the things I was before
I’d be better off if I lost every one,
Because old keys don’t open new doors
