LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Rock bottom always thought I’d drown
Could never climb back up anyhow
But now here you come
Resuscitate me
Pulled for so long with no gravity
I want your tides to bury me 

[Chorus]
I think I’m drowning in the river
Let the icy underground deliver
Baby
I’d rather sink than being saved
Beneath the surface here
I’ll stay (Here I’ll stay, here I’ll stay)
Where starlight doesn’t reach
And oxygen is bleak 

[Verse 2]
Well
Can you feel me struggling to breathe? (To breathe)
Help me feel something (Something) while pulling me under (pulling me Under)
And when my aching chest infects (Mm)
The water filling my lungs
I wonder (I wonder)
Would you like me better if I was there?
Hold me tight
I know I’ll die
But still I would care 

[Chorus]
I think I’m drowning in the river
Let the icy underground deliver
Baby
I’d rather sink than being saved (Being saved, being saved)
Beneath the surface here
I’ll stay (Here I’ll stay) 
(Ooh) (Ooooh)
Where starlight doesn’t reach
And oxygen is bleak (Ooh)
I’d rather be down here
And I’m sorry you’re not near
I’d rather be down here
I’m sorry that we ended here
Sorry you’re not near
Sorry that we ended here 

[Chorus]
I think I’m drowning in the river
Let the icy underground deliver
Baby
I’d rather sink than being saved
Beneath the surface here
I’ll stay
Where starlight doesn’t reach
And oxygen is bleak 

[Outro]
Sorry you’re not near
Sorry that we ended here

Wasted On You

The Game Is Over

Yeah Right

Better Without You

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, for 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. ❤️
