These songs are a deeply personal and emotional journey of self-expression, creativity, and resilience in the face of depression, loneliness, pain, and despair. They explore the therapeutic power of writing and music as a means of coping with the darkness and finding solace in the silence. I want to convey a sense of longing for connection and understanding while also celebrating the liberating force of artistic expression. Ultimately, they offer a message of hope and perseverance, affirming the human spirit's capacity to find beauty and meaning in the midst of sorrow and pain.

My Cathartic Writing songs

The first three songs are a humorous and lighthearted take on modern life's absurdities, poking fun at our obsession with screens, the chaos of the pandemic, and the ridiculousness of sudden wealth. With a tongue-in-cheek tone, they jest about our addictive habits, the struggles of lockdown, and the outrageous indulgences of winning big. The songs are a comedic commentary on our shared experiences, embracing the silliness and playfulness of life's challenges. They're a reminder to not take ourselves too seriously and find the humor in our everyday struggles. 

On the serious side, the first three songs are about escapism, coping mechanisms, and the human desire for freedom and joy. They explore different ways people deal with stress, boredom, and hardship, whether it's through screen addiction, dreaming of a better future, or finding solace in wealth and celebration. The songs touch on themes of disconnection, isolation, and the longing for human connection and normalcy, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, they express a desire to break free from constraints, live in the moment, and find happiness, whether through escapism or embracing life's pleasures. 

The next three songs are a humorous and lighthearted take on the quirks and flaws of family life, poking fun at the chaos, imperfections, and absurdities that come with loving each other. From the dysfunctional Thanksgiving dinner to the silly antics of senior family members, these songs laughingly highlight the imperfections that make family relationships so endearing. With a playful tone and comedic storytelling, they celebrate the beauty of imperfect love and the joy of embracing each other's flaws. 

The next two are justvplayful tunes about a day at the beach, building sandcastles and jumping over waves.

LYRICS

[Verse 1]
In the silence of the midnight, I'm lost in my thoughts,
Pages filled with sorrow, every line’s a battle fought,
Words spill out like tears, but no one sees their light,
I'm a ghost in my room, screaming into the night.

These songs are my escape, my own form of therapy.

[Chorus]
I write songs for the lonely, whispers of despair,
Where the ink bleeds my sorrow, floats on empty air,
No one hears my story, just echoes of my plight,
But these verses keep me breathing through the endless night.

[Verse 2]
Each strum of the guitar is a heartbeat out loud,
Melodies of anguish, wrapped up in the crowd,
But in this darkened corner, I'm safe with the pain,
Wishing for a moment, someone else felt the same.

Lost in this rhythm, where the shadows stay awake.

[Chorus]
I write songs for the lonely, whispers of despair,
Where the ink bleeds my sorrow, floats on empty air,
No one hears my story, just echoes of my plight,
But these verses keep me breathing through the endless night.

[Outro]
In the quiet, I'm alive, just me and my pain,
These songs will never fade, they’ll keep me sane.

They get mixed up, in a crazy haze
But we love them just the same!

Forgetful, clumsy, but still shining bright!
We'll laugh and joke, and help them through

We listen patiently, like we've never heard them before
Their memories may fade, but ours remain
We'll cherish every moment, every laugh, every tear, every pain

Senior moments, they're quite a sight
Forgetful, clumsy, but still shining bright!
We'll laugh and joke, and help them through
'Cause that's what family does, it's true!

We'll be patient, we'll be kind
We'll help them navigate, this winding road of mind
We'll celebrate, their wisdom and age
And honor their journey, every step of the way

Forgetful, clumsy, but still shining bright!
We'll laugh and joke, and help them through
'Cause that's what family does, it's true!

We'll love them, support them, through day and night
Senior moments, they're just part of the ride

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
In the shadows where you stand alone,
With your fortress built from stubborn stone,
You carry burdens, heavy on your back,
But inside you know, you're starting to crack.

Reach out a hand, it’s not a crime,

[Chorus]
So come on, friend, let me in,
You don’t have to do this all on your own,
A little help can lead to great wins,
In unity, our strength is fully grown.

[Verse 2]
Every wall you built, so tall and tight,
Keeps the warmth away, and dims your light,
Just take a breath, let go of the fight,
It’s strength to ask, it’s okay to feel light.

Together we rise, it’s true power,

[Chorus]
So come on, friend, let me in,
You don’t have to do this all on your own,
A little help can lead to great wins,
In unity, our strength is fully grown.

[Outro]
So when you’re down, remember this call,
Asking for help, it’s not weakness at all.

Thought I was alone, up in the sky
Turned around, and oh what a sight
My 90-year-old dad, cane in hand, shining bright

Dad on the roof, oh what a scare
Gave me a heart attack, standing there
Stubborn old man, with a mind of his own
Dad on the roof, up high on our home

Stumbled a bit, my heart sank within
I walked backward, like a nervous guide
Praying he wouldn't take a rooftop slide

Dad on the roof, oh what a scare
Gave me a heart attack, standing there
Stubborn old man, with a mind of his own
Dad on the roof, up high on our home

Down the ladder, with a stubborn sway
I held my breath, as he took each step
Thought I'd lose my mind, if he took a slip

Dad on the roof, oh what a scare
Gave me a heart attack, standing there
Stubborn old man, with a mind of his own
Dad on the roof, up high on our home

This ain't no joke, no made-up tale
This happened real, without fail
I'm still shaken, still in dismay
Thinking 'bout his bravery every single day 

[Chorus:]
Dad on the roof, oh what a scare
Gave me a heart attack, standing there
Stubborn old man, with a mind of his own
Dad on the roof, up high on our home

But I'm still shaking, head spinning round
Dad, you crazy guy, stay off the roof
My heart can't take it, you dilly ol' goof!

I've been broken, battered and worn
Tried to fit in, but never belonged
They said I'm too much, too loud, too bold
But I won't apologize, I'm taking control

I won't let the shadows define

To conform, to fit inside

I'm rising up, that's just me
I won't let the shadows define
I'm shining bright, I'm feeling alive

We're fighting battles, we're bearing the pain
But we can rise above, we can break the chains
And find our strength, our beauty, our shame

We're unbroken, untamed, and free
We're rising up, that's just me
We won't let the shadows define
We're shining bright, we're feeling alive

I'm unbroken, and I won't hide
My scars are shining, they're my pride
I'm standing tall, I'm standing loud
I'm unbroken, and I'm proud.

LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Tired of the lies, tired of the games
Fake promises and scams, all just a shame
You think I'm naive, think I'll fall for your trap
But I see right through you, you're just a waste of my time, that's a fact 

[Chorus]
Leave me alone, with your fake proposals and your lies
I'm not buying what you're selling, I see the scam in your eyes
You're just a predator, preying on the weak
But I won't be your victim, I'll make my own way, unique 

[Verse 2]
You say you've got a client who wants my face in a painting
But I'm not buying it, your scam's not worth my explaining
You're just a predator, preying on the weak
But I won't be your victim, I'll make my own way, unique 
You say you've got a client who wants my face in a painting
But I'm not buying it, your scam's not worth my explaining
You claim to work for a label, scouting for the next big thing
But I know you're just a scammer, trying to make a quick sting 

[Chorus]
Leave me alone, with your fake proposals and your lies
I'm not buying what you're selling, I see the scam in your eyes
You're just a predator, preying on the weak

I'll keep on making music for the sake of my art
I won't let you bring me down, I'll rise above your sinful heart
I'll keep on shining bright, like a star in the night
And you'll just fade away, like a distant, fading light 

[Chorus]
Leave me alone with your fake proposals and your lies
I'm not buying what you're selling, I see the scam in your eyes
You're just a predator, preying on the weak
But I won't be your victim, I'll make my own way, unique 

[Verse 3]
You're just a master of manipulation, a king of deceit
You prey on the vulnerable, with your fake promises so sweet
But I'm not buying what you're selling, I see right through your game
You're just a scammer, with a bad reputation, such a shame 

[Outro]
So listen up, you scammers, take heed of my warning sign
I won't be your next victim, I'll make sure to shine a light
On your fake schemes and your lies, I'll expose you for what you are
A scammer, a fake, a master of nothing, but a fallen star.

Cold deceit no hope in sight
Lost in the never-ending fight

Candles flicker ghosts arise
Drowning in a sea of lies
Faded dawns and poison skies
Seeing through your dead disguise

[Chorus]
You’re a traitor of shadows and dreams
Silent screams tearing at the seams
Faithless whispers rip me apart
Falling into the void of your heart

For in the silence, they remain
A symphony of love, a heart that still sustains.

[Verse 1]
Whispers in shadows scream to the void
Heartbeats echo yet they are destroyed
Loneliness in a crowded room
Drowned by silence
Left to gloom

[Verse 2]
Eyes like ghosts that fade away
Words unspoken
Got nothin' to say
Walls closing in
Suffocation's near
Eyes burning with unshed tears

[Chorus]
Silent echoes
Call my name
Ignored
Forgotten
In endless shame
Break the silence
Hear my cry
In darkness
Where angels die

[Verse 3]
Mirrors shatter in my mind
Lost reflection
Hard to find
Noise around me
No one hears
Drowning fears
Hiding tears

[Bridge]
Voices muted
Screams are hushed
In this silence
Dreams are crushed
Begging
Pleading
Unheard plea
Won't someone
Someone see me

[Chorus]
Silent echoes
Call my name
Ignored
Forgotten
In endless shame
Break the silence
Hear my cry
In darkness
Where angels die

But I adore this candy box
Cupid missed his aim so bad
So I munch and yeah I'm glad

[Verse 2]
Movie marathon self-care
Romance flicks a solo affair
Got PJs on and some wine
Single life is mighty fine

[Chorus]
Love stinks like old gym socks
But I adore this candy box
Cupid missed his aim so bad
So I munch and yeah I'm glad

[Bridge]
Valentine you're just a stupid myth
I'd rather binge watch my favorite flicks
Real love maybe you're a ghost
Pass the snacks let's make a toast

[Verse 3]
Gave myself some roses too
Laugh alone but it's still cool
On a date with my pet hawk
No need for any small talk

[Outro]
Now the night is winding down
The candy's gone, the movie's drowned
I'll toss the roses, recycle the wine
But I'll savor the solo love that's mine

[Bridge]
Valentine you're just a stupid myth
I'd rather binge watch my favorite flicks
Real love maybe you're a ghost
Pass the snacks let's make a toast

[Verse 3]
Gave myself some roses too
Laugh alone but it's still cool
On a date with my pet hawk
No need for any small talk

[Outro]
Now the night is winding down
The candy's gone, the movie's drowned
I'll toss the roses, recycle the wine
But I'll savor the solo love that's mine

Love Stinks but I like the Candy

This song is a contemplative reflection on the passage of time and the human experience. It's a thoughtful exploration of love, loss, and the fleeting nature of life. As I look to the future, I find myself pondering the moments that shape us, and the love that remains a constant, even as everything else changes.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
In the mirror's gaze, I see a stranger's face
A reflection worn, by time and endless space
The lines that crease my skin, tell stories of their own
Of laughter, tears, and love, that's been and gone

[Chorus]
I'm fading like the light, in the twilight of my years
A fleeting moment's beauty, lost in the passing tears
I'm chasing the shadows, of a life that's slipping away
Trying to hold on to the past, but it's fading every day

[Verse 2]
Memories haunt me, like a ghostly refrain
Echoes of a love, that's lost, yet remains
The fire that once burned, now a smoldering ember
A reminder of the passion, that's slowly surrendering

[Chorus]
I'm fading like the light, in the twilight of my years
A fleeting moment's beauty, lost in the passing tears
I'm chasing the shadows, of a life that's slipping away
Trying to hold on to the past, but it's fading every day

[Bridge]
Maybe in the darkness, I'll find a peaceful place
Where the weight of time, is lifted from my face
And though my body weakens, my heart remains the same
I'll hold on to love, and never let it fade

[Chorus]
I'm fading like the light, in the twilight of my years
A fleeting moment's beauty, lost in the passing tears
I'm chasing the shadows, of a life that's slipping away
Trying to hold on to the past, but it's fading every day

[Outro]
In the silence, I'll find my way
To a place where love, will forever stay
And though I'm fading, my heart will remain
A flame that burns, in the darkness, forever sustained.

Twilight Years

This haunting melody delves into the depths of loneliness and despair that can accompany aging. The song paints a poignant picture of my birthday (February 18th), spent all alone, as I have spent my last ten birthdays. Through its melancholic verses and chorus, it captures the essence of feeling forgotten and invisible as time marches on relentlessly.

The lyrics explore themes of isolation, with silent phones and empty rooms serving as stark reminders of absent friends and family. The imagery of flickering candles symbolizes the fleeting nature of hope and vitality, mirroring the sense of fading away. 

The chorus, with its ironic "Happy birthday to me," underscores the contrast between societal expectations of celebration and the reality of solitude. The bridge delves deeper into existential questions, pondering the meaning of life as one grows older and feels increasingly disconnected from the world.

Throughout the song, there's a palpable sense of resignation and acceptance of one's fate, yet it also subtly hints at a desire for connection and understanding. The Evanescence-inspired style, known for its gothic undertones and emotional intensity, perfectly complements the raw, vulnerable emotions expressed in the lyrics.

This song serves as a poignant reflection on aging, loneliness, and the human need for connection, resonating with anyone who has ever felt overlooked or left behind by the passage of time.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1:]
Another year slips away
Shadows lengthen, hair turns gray
Another birthday, a milestone passed
Memories fade, nothing lasts

[Chorus:]
Happy birthday to me
In the dark, I can't see
Candles flicker, then they're gone
Just like hope, it won't be long

[Verse 2:]
Silent phone, empty room
No one calls to break the gloom
Friends and family, where are you?
Another day I'll muddle through

[Chorus:]
Happy birthday to me
In the dark, I can't see
Candles flicker, then they're gone
Just like hope, it won't be long

[Bridge:]
Time marches on, relentless, cold
I'm left behind as I grow old
Is this all there is to be?
A fading soul, no longer free

[Chorus:]
Happy birthday to me
In the dark, I can't see
Candles flicker, then they're gone
Just like hope, it won't be long

[Outro:]
Happy birthday to me
In the dark, I can't see
Candles flicker, then they're gone
Just like hope, it won't be long
Just like me, were do I belong?

Fading Candles

This song is a heartfelt and emotional expression of the pain and frustration that comes with feeling ignored and unsupported by those who matter most.

Born out of the darkness of depression and loneliness, this song serves as a cathartic release of emotions and a testament to the power of music as a means of healing and self-expression.

The lyrics convey the hurt and anger that comes with sharing my creations with loved ones, only to be met with indifference and silence. It's a painful reminder that sometimes, those who are supposed to care the most can be the ones who hurt us the deepest.

Despite the pain and frustration, this song is also a declaration of resilience and determination. It's a message to those who have ignored and unsupported me, and a testament to the power of music to transcend pain and adversity.

To those who have taken the time to listen to my songs and support me, this song is a heartfelt thank you. Your kindness and encouragement mean the world, and are a reminder that there is still good in this world.

So listen closely to the words, and let the emotions resonate deep within your soul. This song is a gift from my heart, and a reminder that you are not alone in your pain and struggles.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
In the darkness, I created light
A symphony of emotions, a heartfelt fight
I shared my soul with you, through every lyric and line
But you didn't bother to listen, you didn't even try

[Verse 2]
I thought our bond was stronger, our love more true
But now I'm left to question, if I'm just going through
The motions of a relationship, that's lost and cold
A facade of family and friends, that's growing old

[Pre-Chorus]
You're supposed to care, but you're not even there
A silent indifference, a hollow, empty air
I'm screaming for support, but you're turning a deaf ear
Leaving me to wonder, if you even truly care

[Chorus]
Will you ever take the time, to listen to my songs?
It isn't hard, it doesn't take long
Strangers are lending an ear, and showing they care
Why can't you, family and friends, show me you're there? (Show me you're there!)

[Pre-Chorus]
You're supposed to care, but you're not even there
A silent indifference, a hollow, empty air
I'm screaming for support, but you're turning a deaf ear
Leaving me to wonder, if you even truly care

[Chorus]
Will you ever take the time, to listen to my songs?
It isn't hard, it doesn't take long
Strangers are lending an ear, and showing they care
Why can't you, family and friends, show me you're there? Let me know you truly care!!

[Bridge]
Maybe I'm just a ghost, invisible and unseen
A fleeting thought, a moment's pause, a life un-lived, a dream unseen
But my songs will rise above, my words will cut like a knife
I'll make you hear me, I'll make you see, the pain you've left in my life

[Pre-Chorus]
You're supposed to care, but you're not even there
A silent indifference, a hollow, empty air
I'm screaming for support, but you're turning a deaf ear
Leaving me to wonder, if you even truly care

[Chorus]
Will you ever take the time, to listen to my songs?
It isn't hard, it doesn't take long
Strangers are lending an ear, and showing they care
Why can't you, family and friends, show me you're there?

[Outro]
So I'll keep on writing, my heart beating loud and clear
And maybe someday, you'll hear me, and wipe away my tears
But until then, I'll rise above, creating my songs unbroken and free
A testament to the love, you refuse to give back to me.

So Called Family and Friends

One Love

This song is about the frustrations and betrayals that artists face in the digital age, particularly with music streaming platforms like SoundCloud. I was recently hit hard when my total play count suddenly dropped by half, with hundreds of plays vanishing from each song seemingly overnight. I've heard about three other artists that have had this happen to them as well.  It was a stark reminder of the lack of control and transparency artists have over their own work. The lyrics highlight the issues of transparency and fairness in counting streams and paying royalties, and how these systems can be manipulated to the detriment of the artists. It's a call to action, demanding justice and fairness for creators, and emphasizing the importance of honesty and integrity in the way our work is valued and compensated. 

This song is a protest against SoundCloud's exploitation of artists and a plea for a more equitable system that respects the value of our work. 

Let me know with a comment, if this has happened to you as well. I emailed SC but never received a reply as usual. 😡


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
In the shadows, numbers fade
A silent theft, a hidden shade
Hundreds of thousands, a count so fine
Now halved in an instant, left to decline 

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A cry in the void, a scream unheard
As the truth is twisted, and the lies are blurred 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Verse 2]
Months of silence, a meager pay
A measly amount, for a lifetime's sway
The system's broken, the trust is worn
As the counts are manipulated, and the truth is torn 

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A cry in the void, a scream unheard
As the truth is twisted, and the lies are blurred 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Verse 3]
SoundCloud's ledger, a dishonest page
Where our hard work's worth is rewritten in their stage
The fire that burns, within our hearts
Is fueled by passion, and a work of art 

[Bridge]
We're not just numbers, we're not just plays
We're the heartbeat, of a creative way
We're the voices, that speak to the soul
Don't silence us, don't take control 

[Chorus]
Fractured counts, a deceitful game
Playing with the truth, and the artist's claim
We're lost in the haze, of a fabricated fame
Fractured counts, a betrayal of the flame 

[Outro]
SoundCloud, your name is tied to shame
There should be justice, a reckoning to claim
Artists demand, a fair and honest share
You should do right by us, show you care.



Fractured Counts

This song is a powerful tribute to Juneteenth, a celebration of freedom and the ongoing struggle for justice and equality. The lyrics weave together themes of hope, resilience, and the pursuit of a more just world, drawing on historical references and personal reflections. The song's message is one of unity and empowerment, urging listeners to lift their voices and continue the fight for truth and love.


LYRICS; 

[Intro]
I did not walk the fields.
I did not carry the chains.
But I see the marks they left.
And I will not turn away.
This day is not mine to claim—
But it is mine to honor.
So I stand… with open hands,
To learn, to lift, to listen.

[Verse 1]
June nineteenth, the chains were broken,
Texas heard the trumpet sound.
From the fields, a truth was spoken—
"Let the lost be truly found."
Hope had burned through generations,
Now it blazed with sacred light.
Freedom’s song and revelation
Woke the dawn from darkest night.

[Pre-Chorus]
We stand beside the ones who came,
Lifting high their rightful name.

[Chorus]
Still you rise, from pain to power,
Stronger with each sacred hour.
We lift our voice, let justice ring,
Joined in purpose, hear us sing.
From the roots to skies above—
Juneteenth, a cry of truth and love!

This is not just history.
It’s breath.
It’s blood.
It’s names I never knew—
But owe.
It’s freedom declared… and still chased.
And I?
I carry no torch.
But I will guard its flame.

[Verse 2]
Fields of sorrow, rivers weeping,
Stories carved in blood and stone.
Through the grief, a flame was keeping
Hope alive that’s now full-grown.
Marching forward, bound together,
Chains behind and stars ahead,
We remember now, and ever,
Every word the martyrs said.

[Pre-Chorus ]
We honor those who lit the way,
And walk beside them still today.

[Chorus]
Still you rise, from pain to power,
Stronger with each sacred hour.
We lift our voice, let justice ring,
Joined in purpose, hear us sing.
From the roots to skies above—
Juneteenth, a cry of truth and love!

I see you.
Not as shadows of a struggle,
But as the light that broke through it.
You are not a chapter—
You are the authors.
And I will not rewrite the story.
I will echo it.
Amplify it.
Protect it.

[Verse 3]
Now we learn the deeper meaning
Of a freedom hard and won—
Not just ink in books we're reading,
But a fire that lights the sun.
Every march and every trial,
Every name that’s held with care—
Builds a world where peace and justice
Answer every fervent prayer.

[Bridge]
We remember every story,
Speak the names with sacred pride.
Truth and love will write the glory
That no hatred can divide.

[Final Chorus]
Still you rise, still we stand,
Side by side, and hand in hand.
Marching on through every storm,
In this truth, we are transformed.
From the roots to skies above—
Juneteenth, a cry of truth and love!

[Outro]
I will not claim your crown.
But I will walk behind your banner.
And as long as justice has a song—
I will sing it.
Not for me…
But with you.

Still You Rise (Juneteenth Anthem)

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here. Especially for some of the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️
