Hey everyone! Here's a new recording of "Suffocate"! I feel this version is a lot clearer and hopefully you like it better! Initially, I had labeled this song "Power Poison." It was about the idea of "Power without character is poison." As a young person, I was so attracted to the idea of fame. As I've grown, I could not be more grateful that my career didn't blow up overnight when I was 18. The larger the influence, the larger the wake you leave. If the 18 year old version of my self had blown up, I'm positive that wake would've been so full of devastation and hurt. I don't want power/money/fame if I don't have the character to make good of it. So grateful to each and everyone of you. Never thought anyone would ever care to listen. You'll never know how much it means to me that you'd even give me a moment of your time. Hope you like the track :)
Lyrics
If I were a king I'd probably dream
Of bringing peace into the world
Noble deeds, heroic things
Until I'd seen the shining pearls
And all of the greed stored underneath
Could go and leak at anytime
I want him dead, they bring his head
An impulse ruins all their lives
I could be wise most of the time
But just one slip up makes them starve
And all this chaos makes its way
As I'm here feasting on their farms
The problem ain't they're never good
The problem's power taints the mind
A heart of gold will turn to stone
The throne's where good men go to die
Hold on to me, don't give up on me
If I start to sink would you reach for me?
I get so afraid, break down suffocate
Would you help me breathe?
Help me breathe
If I were to gain all of this world
Don't let them take away my soul
Don't want the arrogance, the ignorance
This selfishness I hold
Instant access is a flame
That I don’t think I can control
Don't let this ember enter in
If I’m not worthy of its load
Don't wanna hurt the ones I love
Don’t wanna let everyone down
I try so hard but I slip up
Lose my grip, fall on the ground
The problem ain’t they’re never good
The problem's power taints the mind
Don't let this heart turn into stone
Don't let these lights burn me alive
Hold on to me, don't give up on me
If I start to sink would you reach for me?
I get so afraid, break down suffocate
Would you help me breathe?
Help me breathe
Don't let me suffocate
In luxury

I'm really proud of this one. The original version was the last track I mixed on my first computer. By the end of the song, the Macbook just couldn't take it anymore. So the song ended a bit abrupt haha Hopefully this version is better. Anxiety for me has definitely been a struggle. But I don't want something I hate determine what I do with my life. So I've been trying my best to keep pushing anyway. Love you all. So grateful to each and every one of you.

I remember blocking out everyone and everything from my life for about a year and half because I was too anxious to leave my house. There was this underlying panic that wouldn't just leave. I pushed so many people away, not because I didn't love them, but because I was afraid to see them. It's hard to explain. I've been fighting like crazy to face these fears and not allow own. I don't want the thing I hate most to tell me how I'm gonna live my life. I hope you guys like this one. Tried to be as honest as possible. Love you all.
You take all my energy you
Taunt me til my wrists are bleeding
Wish I was stronger had some peace
I’m just a slave to you
Every moment you are reaching
For my throat I’m barely breathing
Tortured memories got me sinking I’m
Just a slave to you
Look at all the things you’ve stolen
Every time you’ve made me frozen
I hate everything about you
Shouldn’t have to be this way
Constant panic constant pain
I hate everything about you
Constant struggle every minute
I take one step you start you start medaling
Puppeteering take me over
Just a slave to you
Give you the reins All Decisions
You got me cornered I can’t pivot
Feel so worthless see you grinning
Just a slave to you
Look at all the things you’ve stolen
Every time you’ve made me frozen
I hate everything about you
Shouldn’t have to be this way
Constant panic constant pain
I hate everything about you
Sinking further
In your ocean
Reach for shore but
But waves keep forming
falling faster
You love to torture
Well here’s to one last
Fight to sever
Oh this bottled up rage inside
Starts to light up in flames tonight
Oh I'm looking you in the eye
You're so sick you look paralyzed
Feel this power rush through my veins
As this milestone it separates
I link it to your neck I
Watch you sink I catch my breath
Sinking closer
To your glory
Silver shores take
Every worry
See you beaming
Lost in wonder
All my anxious
Thoughts they slumber

Lyrics
Walking this tight rope, one
Misstep I'll fall to the den
The higher you fly just the steeper
The fall when it ends
Oh, I'm an imposter, I'm not what I
Seem
If you could just hear all the things
That I think
The anger that's boiling when
Jealousy scrеams
All these illusions will bury me
Deep
Drеams of my downfall, convinced
That they'll see me someday
Lying there naked no hiding in
Money and fame
Be careful of power, it's not what it
Seems
If you ain't integrous, a scoundrel
Like me
It'll send you to heaven until it
Meets hell
Where everyone's laughing as
You're locked in your cell
The fire is rising right under this
Rope
My armors igniting, I start to let go
My mask burns to ash and my face
Is revealed
Well we've made it at last now I'm
Forced to be real
With this mess, I've made
Destructive ways
These sinful games I keep on
Playing
If I fall short, would you endure
Or tear my soul with strife and Scorne

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for taking the time to listen! Out of all the tracks I've done, "The Antihero" has always been one of my favorites. Looking back, I felt there were a lot of things within the mix/production I felt could've been better. So I decided to re-record it! Really hope you like it. Love you all!

[Verse 1]
Look at all this devastation
Walk away humiliated
Ignorance revived this dormant
Beast inside now I can't take it there's
[Pre-Chorus]
Blood on my hands
Now this moment is stamped in my
Memory, I panic
Created catastrophe
Can't take it back
Now I am who I am
My innocence vanquished
The criminal awakened
[Chorus]
Who could save me now?
Watch me spiral down
I made such a mess of my conscience
It's making me nauseous
Been drifting so slowly
It's takin me fully, oh
Who could save me now?
[Verse 2]
This virus is over bearing
This trauma is never letting go
The darkness it creeps
In all of my bеing
This monster is taking all control
Had no one to listen, no onе to care
Everyone acted like I wasn't there
Was only a kid
How could I forgive?
See vengeance will be my only
[Chorus]
Hope, don't save me now
Watch me spiral down
I made such a mess of my conscience
It's making me nauseous
If no one will love me
At least they'll feel something, oh
Who can save me now?
[Ending]
Don't steal my soul
Don't steal my soul
Don't steal my soul
Let me be
I wanted to write something peaceful for the New Year. I pray it provides comfort no matter the circumstances. And truly be a safe haven.
I'm so grateful for each and every one of you. You've provided me the greatest job I could've ever imagined. I never believed that full time music was a possibility for me. You proved me wrong. Love you all. Happy New Year. I pray your 2023 will be blessed beyond comprehension.
A few of you guys asked for a Christmas song, so here you go! I had a lot of fun just messing around with the orchestration. I really hope you guys like it! Merry Christmas! What a gift each and every listener has been to me. Could not be more grateful. Love you all.
It may take me a couple of days to get back to your comments but I promise I will! I'm sorry, my families only all together once or twice a year. Sorry about that!
Lyrics
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the Son of God appear.
O come, desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease
And be Thyself our King of peace
Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel
Rejoice Rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel
Rejoice Rejoice
Emmanuel has come
Rejoice Rejoice
Emmanuel has come
Hope has come to
Earth we sing
Behold our savior
Christ the king
Hope has come to
Earth we sing
Behold our Jesus
Christ the king
Hope has come to
Earth we sing
Behold our savior
Christ the king
Hope has come to
Earth we sing
Behold our Jesus
Christ the king
Rejoice Rejoice
Emmanuel has come
Rejoice Rejoice
Emmanuel has come

Lyrics:
I see you smile radiant
You haven’t changed a bit
Still pure at heart that vibrant
Youth within your soul it never quits
So many years together
Decades will come and go
Who would’ve thought that after
All this time
still our love could grow
Now we ain’t far from heaven
These bodies in regression
So many choices full of deep regret
The one thing right was you
This takes me back to the
First Kiss
First Time
That we stayed up all night long
Just kids with hope and dreams
Who knew you’d be be my destiny
First Dance
First fight
Thought I’d never be alright
But God had intervened
The fate was set it’s you and me
I never thought we’d happen
Was so lost in all my grief
Searching for silver
When the purest gold
Was right in front of me
All of that pain inside me
You found a way to free
The angst of adolescence washed away
Somehow you gave me peace
You used to write me letters
Forever I’ll remember
Melted the ice around my frozen heart
Meant truly everything
This takes me back to the
First Kiss
First Time
That we stayed up all night long
Just kids with hope and dreams
Who knew you’d be be my destiny
First Dance
First fight
Thought I’d never be alright
But God had intervened
The fate was set it’s you and me
They say the key
The missing piece
Is in a grateful heart
Keeps shining even in the dark
When your with me
Can’t help but be
Thankful for these years
My joy my rock through every tear
Praise God he made a way to here
After all this time
Not a piece of me denies
That we were crafted up in heaven
To be holy intertwined
Forever mine
When we’re angels in sky
Still want you next to me
The fate was set still can’t believe it’s you
Forget my hopes and dreams
Just you and me eternally

Here's a song I wrote about porn addiction. It's been such a struggle throughout my life but by the grace of God, I have found a good amount of freedom lately. As a young person, the concept of discipline and righteousness seemed like such a prison. But the older I grow, the more it seems to be the key that lets you out. I can’t think of anything more constricting than the lack of self-control. Which unfortunately, I lack most of the time. I really hope this song means something to you. I could not be more grateful for each and every one of you. Love you all.

Lyrics:
Clean our slates
Dear hero in the sky
Blood red Stains
Forefathers left behind
Let it burn away
Let it burn away
Wash my hands
Of the hurt they’d breathe to life
Rid my heart
Of this impartation
Generation tie
Let it burn away
Let it burn away
The virus entered in my ancestors
Trauma passes on to successors
Trying to make me into my oppressor
The one I hate the most comes in tremors
Take all this dying flesh stop it spreading
Ghost of regret won’t stop manifesting
Lineage tainted slave to my making
Only you can save me
Let it burn away
Let it burn away

Hey everyone! Here's a new version of "Lonely" with a video! Huge shout out to Josias Torres for putting it all together! I've always been a bit afraid of the camera (hence the typical still image haha) but if you guys want more content like this, I'll try my best! This will probably always be one of the most personal songs I've written. I really hope you like this version. Love you all!

Lyrics:
Is everybody lonely
Is everybody scared
Is everybody worried
That no one really cares
See I'm afraid to love, but afraid to be alone
Still I wonder why my heart is always broke
What a way to live, let the fear take all control
Oh, this ain’t life, no, I'm not alive
Are we all the same looking for love
Looking for love
Are we all in chains
'Tryna be enough
Be enough
I’m 'tryna write my perfect story
I'm working nights and working days
To prove the world that I am worthy
Of being seen, of being praised
'Cause I'm afraid to show the people who I am
I'm not special, just a simple broken man
So I will hide my face with my picture perfect mask
Oh this ain't life, no, it's just a lie
Are we all the same looking for love
Looking for love
Are we all in chains
’Tryna be enough, be enough
Woah
If I looked you in the eye
And showed the broken things inside
Would you run away
Would you run away
Woah
If you saw my darkest parts
The wicked things inside my heart
Would you run away
Or are you the same
Here’s a darker song I wrote about propaganda and war. I’ve been so nervous about this one. It’s honestly been one of the most painful songs I've worked on. Thinking through history about so many atrocities. I hate war. I hate loss. I know it's often necessary and to those who've served, I could not be more grateful for your courage. Your protection. I didn't want to share this one. It seemed like it might be offensive/divisive/just be too painful for so many people. But something in me felt like I should. So here it is. Love you all so much. Taking the time to listen to my work means more than you could ever know.

Lyrics:
They told stories of legends and old
Ever since I was young
Of protectors our saviors our heroes
That’s who I’ll become said
Give your heart
And your strength
To the cause
Never break
You can be like them to
Take your gun
And your flag
Hold it strong
Take their land
We can show them the truth
What is it for?
Endless war
Just toil away
To spread our plague
Keep devastating
All in vein
What’s it for?
So they sent us away on their mission
Thinking heroes we’ll be
Through the smoke saw a man looked suspicious
So I put him to sleep
How it woke me up
From this daze
Killed a man
He had a name
For what sake I don’t know
Constantly
It’s in my head
The memory
It never left
Can’t escape it won’t go
What is it for?
Endless war
Just toil away
To spread our plague
Keep devastating
All in vein
What’s it for?
I don’t want to fight no more
Watch my brothers die no more
Everything feel’s so out of place
I don’t wanna cry no more
See another life get torn
Tell me what’s the point to this pain
I don’t wanna lie no more
Just don’t know what’s right no more
Gotta be a different way
I just can’t stay quiet no more
Been twisting with my mind since birth
It’s looking like we’re all being played
What is it for?
Endless war
Just toil away
To spread our plague
Keep devastating
All in vein
What’s it for?
I'm really proud of this one. It's all about my younger self trying to find purpose. Really hope you guys like it. Love you all.

LYRICS
Blowing with the wind
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Lost and so aimless
Just take me anywhere
Take me anywhere
I’d give anything to not feel empty
But I’m just a little speck in the grand scheme
So tell me why I’m still regretting
Show me is there something more
Anything worth living for
I need an answer
Cause I can’t stand
All this remorse
There’s something crying out in me
Tryna rid me of this dormancy
Could there be purpose
For just a worthless man like me
Help me believe
Drifting with the waves
Going nowhere
Just going nowhere
Storm comes I can’t be breath
Take me anywhere
Anywhere but here
Been chasing all these fleeting moments
Thought nihilistic ways would set me free
Just left me more alone and broken
Droves of casualties
Tell me is there something more
Anything worth living for
I need an answer
Cause I can’t stand
All this remorse
There’s something crying out in me
Tryna rid me of this dormancy
Could there be purpose
For just a worthless man like me
Help me believe
There’s more than
Pain and scorn
Than a world that’s bound to suffer
Only hope is fleeting comfort
Would you show your face
Teach me the way
Out this never ending spiral
Breathe on me be my revival
Show my that there’s something more
Anything worth living for
I need an answer
No I can’t take
This aimless course
There’s something crying out in me
Sayin wake up have some urgency
Let down your ego
Stop all the games
No more deceit
Quit swaying morals
Be a man they can receive
Then you will see

I thought it be cool to do a more stripped down version of "Angels vs Demons" and see how you guys liked it. Should I do more versions like this? Should I strip them down even more? Love you all! Thank you so so so much for listening.

Lyrics:
I’m feeling the monster
The demon in my head
It’s warring the angels
That say they will protect
Oh I lie awake through the Napalm
Feel it rain under my skin
Oh I try so hard just to stay calm
But this battle never dims
I gotta stay strong
Just a little bit more
And we’ll get through this storm
Just keep pushing along
Know you’ll make it
Hear angel’s scream through the war cry
Ain’t no way we’ll let you die
Just gotta hold on
Don’t you give up the fight
We are with you tonight
Got one foot in heaven
And the other stuck in hell
I wish I could sever
The piece of me that fell
The demons prowl so swiftly
Coming in to take their prey
But the guardians so quickly
Enter in and keep me safe
Searching to find safe asylum
Running through these battle sirens
AK’s AR’s rattle violent
Stay strong gotta stay strong
All the doors are bordered shut
I’m pounding they won’t open up
But in the guardian’s they run
Just hang on hang on
I gotta stay strong
Just a little bit more
And we’ll get through this storm
Just keep pushing along
Know you’ll make it
Hear angel’s scream through the war cry
Ain’t no way we’ll let you die
Just gotta hold on

Lyrics
Lie awake
In a cold sweat
Dreams of how we were
before the world
was synthetic
Memories restore
Why’re we here
Can’t remember
How they sent us online
Disappeared
From our natural homes
and no one realized
Like a prophet in his scorn
No one listens as I warn
That we’re packed away in this
Lifeless game we’re caged
Screaming through the sky
Please open up your eyes
Don’t let them fog your vision
Get reprogrammed by their system
We’re dead men walking
All like soulless zombies
Hypnotized by algorithms
In our artificial prison
I can’t help but feel afraid
No ones seeing through these frames
Bunch of binary encased
In these surrogates we cling
No ones looking through the veil
Through the murky water
Just ignore me as I tell it’s all a game
Screaming through the sky
Please open up your eyes
Don’t let them fog your vision
Get reprogrammed by their system
We’re dead men walking
All like soulless zombie
Hypnotized by algorithms
In this artificial prison
Don’t you see’s what’s going on
All the puppeteering
Ooh this sinking ship we’re on is going down
Oh there’s gotta be in exit
From this technical device
Oh I’m searching for direction
Know it’s gotta be inside
Just think a little more
Had to enter in sometime
Let the memories restore
And this circus end tonight
They’ve been twisting us so long
In this pixelated cage
No it ain’t where we belong
Oh we’ve gotta break these away
Said the servers were within
So I’ll beat them at their game
Right at the masters point I’ll
Destroy everything
Mainframe broke and fried
A portal opens
Pulling matter like a blackhole
All of gravity’s in shambles
Float through space and time
Dimension broken
All the Universe is falling
I really tore it down

Lyrics
Coming towards me like a tidal wave
Brace for impact smile on my face
Can’t run away can’t run away there’s too much trouble on my mind
I need the touch I need the rush something to get me through this night
Incisions made flow through my veins I swear this is the final time
Can’t run away Can’t run away Can’t run away
Take my soul my life
If it makes me better
Just tonight
Would you make me better
Make me better
Crush my body please just numb the pain
For just a moment need to feel okay
Can’t run away can’t run away there’s too much chaos in my mind
I’m so afraid I’m so afraid I just can’t handle this tonight
Incisions made I’m so ashamed I swear this is the final time
Can’t run away can’t run away can’t run away
Take my soul my life
If it makes me better
Just tonight
Would you make me better
Make me better
Trading my life for dollars and pennies
Every second spent I’m regretting
Every day like this is so deadly
Gotta change
Constantly let this demon inside me
Caging myself where fire is rising
Key in my hand yet still self confining
Gotta break this
I can feel my heart losing patience
Don’t have long my know body can’t take this
Bend enough only time til you break it
We all fade
Give my life to the habit I hate most
Don’t sound bright really gotta let it go
Being killed by my lack of self-control
Gotta Change

Lyrics:
Waking up to the sound
Sirens screaming aloud
So disoriented how’d this happen
These buildings are crumbling down
Hear everyone panic
This monsters gone manic
Pray somethin can to turn this around
My cities in ruins
I’m feeling so useless
Can’t even get off the ground
I’m calling all heroes
Legends and stars
Anyone listening just open your heart
I’ve gotta do something
I wish I were strong enough to see
A hero in me
All these people they need me
But fears got me freezing
I can’t even get off the floor
All these minutes are fleeting
More damage he’s leaving
Don’t wanna be a coward anymore
I’m trembling I’m quivering
This menace is winning
It’s such a one sided war
My people are bleeding
They’re dying and screaming
Just lying here watching them burn
I’m calling all heroes
Legends and stars
Anyone listening just open your heart
We gotta do something
We’re falling apart
Lose everything
I wish I were better
I Wish I had strength
I wish I had anything
To prove I was brave
Can’t watch and do nothing
Hiding away
Try to believe
A hero could live in me
He won’t back down
Family crying out
Made such a mess of my conscience
It’s making me nauseous
My world is crumbling can’t watch and do nothing
I’m done with this panic
I’ll hop into action
And save this town
I don’t need no heroes
No Legends or stars
The fight is within us just
Open your hearts
We ain’t’ going under
This city is ours
Take everything
We’re born for this moment
This moment is ours
Now the battle is turning
We’re making our mark
Together we’re stronger
He’s falling apart
Seems they retreat
Now heroes are all I see
Really proud of this one. I hope you guys like it! Love each and every one of you!

Lyrics:
I’m feeling the monster
The demon in my head
It’s warring the angels
That say they will protect
Oh I lie awake through the Napalm
Feel it rain under my skin
Oh I try so hard just to stay calm
But this battle never dims
I gotta stay strong
Just a little bit more
And we’ll get through this storm
Just keep pushing along
Know you’ll make it
Hear angel’s scream through the war cry
Ain’t no way we’ll let you die
Just gotta hold on
Don’t you give up the fight
We are with you tonight
Got one foot in heaven
And the other stuck in hell
I wish I could sever
The piece of me that fell
The demons prowl so swiftly
Coming in to take their prey
But the guardians so quickly
Enter in and keep me safe
Searching to find safe asylum
Running through these battle sirens
AK’s AR’s rattle violent
Stay strong gotta stay strong
All the doors are bordered shut
I’m pounding they won’t open up
But in the guardian’s they run
Just hang on hang on
I gotta stay strong
Just a little bit more
And we’ll get through this storm
Just keep pushing along
Know you’ll make it
Hear angel’s scream through the war cry
Ain’t no way we’ll let you die
Just gotta hold on

I really didn’t want to release this song. It’s something I’ve maybe talked about to two or three people. Terrified of the reaction. Terrified of the assumptions that come along with this topic. But it’s something that’s never talked about. Really ever. So here it is. I spent three years studying music every moment of every day. I completely cut myself off from everyone and everything except my studies. I knew that if I gave it everything, my chances of “Making it” were still slim. So I held nothing back. About a year and a half into isolation, I started to really really disconnect. This song explains the state of mind almost perfectly. Just this feeling of “Nothing is real” was overwhelming and would haunt me day and night. Couldn’t find peace of mind. By the grace of God, love and human connection brought me out of it. We’re not meant to be alone. If you’re in that place, reach out. Talk to me. I'll be praying. You're not alone. So sorry about the obscure topic, but if it could help someone feel less alone/more understood, It’s worth it. I love you guys so much. Can’t even begin to explain how fortunate I am. Thank you so much for listening.
Lyrics
Everything is in my brain
All the Thunder all the rain
Mental pictures they became
Everything is in my brain
All the pleasure all the pain
The one I love the one I hate
Mental pictures they became
Everything is in my brain
It’s like nothings real
Chemicals we feel
Nothing tangible
I can’t feel your soul
Is it all a lie
Get so petrified
That it’s all a dream
When I wake I’ll see
I’m falling in my head again
This winding road just never ends
Maybe we’re comatose in purgatory lines
A fleet of lonely ghosts pretending we’re still alive
Maybe the afterlife is where we all reside
Maybe it’s over
Beautiful destruction seeps
When there’s too much time to think
Such abysmal tendencies
When delusion reigns in me
Maybe we’re comatose in purgatory lines
A fleet of lonely ghosts pretending we’re still alive
Maybe the afterlife is where we all reside
Maybe it’s over

Song Written by Nathan and Tiffany Wagner
Recorded/Produced and Performed by Nathan Wagner
"Creative Mind" is live on all platforms!
I really struggled through education and honestly through most normal human things. I’ve always been extremely in my head. For the longest time, I thought it was because I was dumb. No matter what I did, I couldn’t focus on anything that was out of my normal wheelhouse. I’d just hit a mental wall. This songs about the tension of being a little different trying to fit into a world not necessarily acclimated to my frame. I really hope you like it! Love you all!
I wasn't going to finish this one, but a few patrons said they liked it, so here it is! Huge shout out to Destany and Aylias! This one's dedicated to you! Love you all!
Lyrics
I always was the kid who sat in class and dreamed of stories
They saw numbers I saw colors just how it was
The teachers never understood my framed forever worried
Wanted total recall the only default
They’d say why you got your head up in the clouds
I said why’d I wanna stay there on the ground
Never thought I’d make anything of myself just useless
Had to get stronger to hold on longer that’s what I did
I heard if you don’t quit
Then you’re bound to win
So I gotta dream big
Cause I won’t give in
Ima take this vision to the top
For the kid who feels he’s not enough
And we’ll shine through the dark
Be who we are
Never understood the way I was It got so lonely
Everyone though I wasn’t good enough to make it work
Had to go for hours and hours through sweat and tears
To write a different story
But it all was worth the pain endured it helped me learn
Sometimes critics are the ones that make us thrive
Lack of honesty’s the way we die
Now every singe day we’re inching a little closer
I can’t believe it just keep on pushing on
A little more
I heard if you don’t quit
Then you’re bound to win
So I gotta dream big
Cause I won’t give in
I’ma take this vision to the top
For the kid who feels he’s not enough
And we’ll shine through the dark
Be who we are
Like shooting stars
Like shooting stars

Lyrics
You open my eyes
You open my eyes again
You bring me to life
you’re raisin me from the dead
And this hell in my mind
You somehow can make it mend
Can’t let it be wasted
So please never let it end
Walls fell down
And joy came in for the first time
In millions years
In you entered
I knew That this was the last time
I’d fall for someone new
You’re my rock and my strength
When I’m drifting away
Oh you fill me with faith
Say you ain’t going nowhere
And I’ll test you I’ll break
When I’m caught in my shame
You just smile with grace
Say I ain’t going anywhere
You open my heart you open my heart again
You take me away
Too place I’ve never been
And I know it’s insane but
I’d swear that you’re heaven sent
Can’t let it be wasted
Let’s please never let this end
Walls fell down
And joy came in for the first time
In a million millions years
And in you entered
I knew That this was the last time
I’d fall for someone new
And I promise
To never love another
To chase you down again again
Til we’re all out of breath
I Promise
To be your crying shoulder
And lift you up again and again
From the depths of the trenches
Oh I promise
To listen when I’m tired
To never stop admiring your strength
And the courage you’ve made
And I promise
To focus on affection
You don’t have to reach perfection
I love you the way that you are
I’m not leaving
You’re sticking with me forever
Regardless of the weather the pain
No I won’t go away
Oh I chose you
And that’s all that’s gonna matter
There’s nothing else I’m after it’s true
Oh you know I do

Someone asked me once if I loved myself. It’s a weird question. Of course I said yes. Didn’t feel like being open. Vulnerable. Wanted the spotlight off of me. Years went by and I realized I had all the symptoms of one who doesn’t. Was wondered why I needed everyones approval. Why it took me days to get over one semi negative comment. Why anything less than perfect led me to the deepest guilt. As a kid, I grew up in sort of a “Shame Culture.” It was this weird twisted theology where if you speak positive about yourself in any way, it was pride and wrong. Of course, you can say all the negative you want. In fact, they’ll find them for you. I’m sure most of it was the way I perceived things as a kid and no one was truly at fault, but that perception left it’s mark. I woke up not long ago realizing I’d gone almost most of my life without having a single positive thought about myself. So, it’s basically self-hatred by default. It’s so strange. Trying to rewire my brain can almost feel immoral because of this toxic legalism in my head. Been a grueling journey. Here’s a song I wrote about that "Shame." I really hope it means something to you. I know it does to me. Love you all so much. Thanks so much for listening.
Lyrics
I’ve got everything I’ve wanted
So tell my why I’m still in pain
It’s like I’m afraid to being happy
Like I deserve to be this way
As a kid they formed my conscience
Good and evil right and wrong
Know they didn’t mean to make it vicious
But now all I have are tortured thoughts
I could scale the tallest mountain
Change the world make it right
Make the world something
But it won’t be enough won’t be enough
Won’t be enough
I could win the highest honor
Save the future make it bright
But it won’t be enough won’t be enough
Won’t be enough
No I’m never enough never enough never enough
I’ve got everything I’ve wanted
My younger self would stand in awe
Still I can’t let myself be happy
Cause it just feels like it be wrong
As a kid they said be humble
Liftin your self like that is pride
Well now I’m drawing in self hatred
That was my last thought that was nice
I could scale the tallest mountain
Change the world make it right
Make the world something
But it won’t be enough won’t be enough
Won’t be enough
I could win the highest honor
Save the future make it bright
But it won’t be enough won’t be enough
Won’t be enough
No I’m never enough never enough never enough
20 years locked in this prison
A couple words rewrote my frame
It’s funny something that’s so little
Can still be causing all this pain
I could scale the tallest mountain
Change the world make it right
Make the world something
But it won’t be enough won’t be enough
Won’t be enough
I could win the highest honor
Save the future make it bright
But it won’t be enough won’t be enough
Won’t be enough
No I’m never enough never enough never enough
Never enough never enough never enough
Never enough never enough never enough
Never enough never enough never enough
Never enough never enough never enough

Huge shout out to David Zach from remedy drive and the guys from 4th point for helping get this story encapsulated into a song. Not long ago I was recommended a “Healthy” “Natural” medication to help treat depression/anxiety. As someone in pain, you’re willing to try almost anything to feel better. That’s why the first line of this track specifically almost always hits a chord in me. “I just wanted to feel better.” To my amazement, it worked. The storm inside, was gone. The constant neurosis, was lifted. Instead of getting through the day, the day was enjoyable. Everything more vibrant. Didn’t walk into rooms with the assumption that I’m a bother and everyone hated me. All was good. Until it wasn’t. And then it took larger doses. And then some more. And then more to feel worse than I did prior. So I had to detox. Love you guys so much. I don’t know if there’s ever been a scarier song to send out into the world. But if it help someone it’s all worth it. So here it is. Love each and every one of you.
I didn't realize it was Memorial Day when I scheduled this release. "There's no greater love than one who lays down their life for another." No words can ever express my gratitude.
Lyrics:
I just wanted to feel better,
Now I sweat here in the dark
Oh I'm struggling to remember
How I even let this start
You said you’d heal me
That’d you’d reveal the
better version of myself
You’re only stealing
You use me up and
Just to leave me on the shelf
Said you’d free me from these gallows,
Just to fancy up my hell
All I wanted was some sunshine
Not a lantern in my cell
You’re an artificial solace
You’re a counterfeit relief
Always meet me at my lowest
Just to multiply my grief
Oh, Oh,
I just wanted to feel something
really anything at all
But now it’s taking higher doses
To get back to my default
You said you’d heal me
That’d you’d conceal this
Gaping hole inside my heart
Just one more gram
You’re such a scam
I Should’ve known it from the start
Said you’d free me from these gallows,
Just to fancy up my hell
All I wanted was some sunshine
You’re a lantern in my cell
You’re an artificial solace
You’re a counterfeit relief
Always meet me at my lowest
Just to multiply my grief
You said you’d free me from these gallows,
Just to fancy up my hell
All I wanted was some sunshine
Not this lantern in my cell
You’re an artificial solace
Just a chemical relief
Always meet me at my lowest
And take everything from me

LYRICS
I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way, oh
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
In cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way, oh
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

You guys have no idea how grateful I am that anyone would listen. I've been reminiscing lately on where I was at even three years ago. Working at steak n shake, constantly dreaming of the day where I could just work on music. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to listen.
I've been having a ton of fun experimenting with rock. It's what me and my brothers grew up listening to. The only genre my Dad really likes (It's his birthday today by the way, happy birthday dad!) To the listeners that don't love rock yet have stuck around, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It means everything. The past few weeks, I've been producing tracks more around my initial orchestral genre. They're more like "Lonely/Man of Stone." I really hope you'll like them. Love you all so much.
Sorry for all the comments Haha This track was inspired by the parable of the narrow road. This one means a lot to me. I really hope you like it.

Lyrics
I’m on the road of pure destruction
Wide the lane so pretty at the start
Til’ the land it parts
Fell in the belly of the giant
Didn’t think they’d lure me this far
But they stole my heart
I’m worn and tired
Lit my world on fire
Know you warned me
Didn’t listen
Can’t escape the pain I’ve sown
I’m sorry
Wish I did better
Gotta brave my coming storm
Oh we get what we deserve
I didn’t think I’d get so broken
Play with fire of course I’m gonna burn
Now grief is deeper than the ocean
I wish I knew the pain before
I let it get the best of me
The lust the pride the jealousy
Now it’s takin nearly everything
Oh I gotta reach sobriety
Would you let me have a second chance
Oh I swear never take it back
Give up all I hold Give up all control
Be a better man and get out of this trap
Sinking in this endless sea
I Snared my self here in the deep
I know that you can rescue me
Oh, I’m begging are you listening
Would you let me have a second chance
Oh I swear never take it back
Give up all I hold Give up all control
Be a better man and get out of this trap

Love you guys so much. Can't express to you how blessed I am. I may not get back to all the comments right away (Moving this weekend - life's been so busy) but I promise I'll get there eventually. I really hope you like this one!
Lyrics:
Go and write your Scarlett letter
Keep your head up in the sky
Go and preach your moral chatter
As your soul is filled with pride
Let the people know your judgment
Mighty ruler king on high (Moral supreme king on high)(As you ignore her children’s cry)
Tell me what makes you so special
To decide who lives or dies
Let the man without a sin throw the first stone throw the first brick
Oh who are you to not forgive You slimy evil hypocrite
I hope you get what you deserve
When justice makes it’s way to earth
You’ll reap the bitter wrath you’ve sown
And quiver ’til you’re all but bone e
Tell me how’d you up so numb
What kind of trauma would it take
To delight in someones killing
Let your conscience be erased
Still you talking like you’re holy
Tell me how’d you get this way
Can’t you see the speck in your eye
Utter ignorance you’ve made
I hope you get what you deserve
When justice makes it’s way to earth
You’ll reap the bitter wrath you’ve sown
And quiver ’til you’re all but bone e
How could I forgive someone
Who brought this on himself
Don’t deserve no piece of heaven
Made our lives a living hell
You say bitterness is heavy
And to hold it does no good
It just feels so wrong to let go
don’t know how I ever could

Love you guys so much. I promise I'm not sick of your opinions haha This was written mainly about the cultural divisiveness going around. I want to love others first and foremost regardless of anything. Hope you like this one. Huge shoutout to Joseph Daniel! We wrote this one together. He came up with the concept. Happy Easter!
Lyrics:
I’m sorry
I don’t love you anymore
I’m trying
Didn’t mean to slam the door
But this country and my family
All these people and my friends
From the pastors to the pundits
Oh dear God it never ends
And I’m so tired of this place
Oh I’ve gotta get away
The way it used to be is so far gone
And I’m so sick of your opinions
Like a gun against my head
I’m dreaming of the place where I belong
I’m sorry
Staring at the stars above
Out here quietly
I know I forget to love
I’m just so exhausted soul is nauseous
I don’t care who’s right
Everything’s divisive so self-righteous
Not worth another fight
And I’m so tired of this place
Oh I’ve gotta get away
The way it used to be is so far gone
And I’m so sick of your opinions
Like a gun against my head
I’m dreaming of the place where I belong
Oh there’s gotta be a place where I belong
Just shut up shut up
Have a little mercy
Look at us now
We’re all dying slowly
Come on come on
I’m begging you please just
Let it go
Shut up shut up
Have a little mercy
Look at us now
Destroying a family
Shut up shut up
I’m begging you please just
let it go
I’m so tired of this place
What I’d give to get away
The way it used to be is so far gone
And I’m so sick of your opinions
Like a gun held to my head
I’m dreaming of the place where I belong
Oh there’s Gotta be somewhere that I belong
I think about it slowly
Sort through it one by one
I realize I’m a hypocrite
With another opinion

Love you guys so much! This is one I wrote years ago. I added the outro to try and make it a bit more epic haha I want to be a man of integrity. Over anything else. I've been writing a lot about that lately. The struggle of a broken man trying to overcome his instincts for iniquity. I think I may turn that concept into an album ;) Thank you so much for listening! I could not be more grateful!
Lyrics:
Drifting through moments then all of the sudden it hits me
What if I stumble and all of my world starts to fall
The people I love lose respect though they swore they’re unwavering
Everything crumbles as I’m just here losing it all
Hearing these critics they’re cheering and saying they hate me
Taking my whole life of work and burn it to the ground
Was trying to open my heart and they go and betray me
Putting a knife in my back without making a sound
I could be doing fine perfect life everything is great
’til you take my mind and hypnotize show my world in flames
Nowhere to hide from what’s inside can’t run can’t get away
Guess one more night of constant fight it always stays the same
Won’t you let me go
I’m crumbling
I’m crumbling
Fantasizing bout the worst that could be I’m not ready
Making decisions preserving what’s not even real
false prophecies keep on following make me unsteady
Just wanna be free of these troublesome dreams let me be
I could be doing fine perfect life everything is great
Til you take my mind awaken all my memories my mistakes
And you hang them high won’t let them die control me with my shame
Say wait til they can see your darkest parts and run away
But you’re never right you always lie your promise never comes
I’m still standing I’m still breathing having died not from your gun
Haven’t fallen in the slaughter lost the people that I love
You’re a liar you’re a thief and It’s time to give you up
Won’t you let me go
I’m crumbling
I’m crumbling
Won’t you let me go
I’m crumbling
I’m crumbling
My father
Please take this thorn
Cause I’m bleeding
I’m tired and worn
Please listen
Don’t you hear me cry
I’m weary
I need your light

Scream vocals by Zach Wagner
As I get older, the more responsibility I've had to take on. The more responsibility I take on, the easier it is to become bitter. My fear of failure makes it easy for me to blame external forces every time there's a lack in a certain area. In reality, it's almost always due to my own inadequacy. Here's something I wrote about that struggle. Love you guys so much. Couldn’t be more thankful for all of you. Hope you are all doing great.

Bringing out the worst of me
You lie like I can’t even see
Through all your narcissistic pleas
You cover up in rosy speech
You don’t believe in anything
Just spout the cliche words you preach
You hide your power lust and greed
As we’re all bleeding on the streets
Gotta let it go
This world I can’t control
The things I think I know
Take it away
This anger and rage
The pride possessing everything
My personal cage
With shackles and chains
The perfect penitentiary
I crumble I shake
From all of this weight
Can’t let it get the best of me
Oh take it away
This prison I made
This isn’t what I’m mean to be
I can feel myself burning alive
Trying to still these boiling veins
Can’t get this out of my mind
Oh you better get away from me
So hard to know what anger’s just
In middle of these dangerous rushes
Sense incinerates just get away
Gotta let it go
This bitterness I hold
Don’t wanna lose my soul
Take it away this anger and rage
The pride possessing everything
My personal cage
With shackles and chains
The perfect penitentiary
I crumble I shake
From all of this weight
Can’t let it get the best of me
Oh take it away
This prison I made
This isn’t what I’m mean to be
You won’t believe the darkest part
The beast that breathes inside my heart
I try to keep it tamed and far
But when it’s free the panic starts
I lose my grid for wrong and right
When darkness rids all of the light
Under my skin I try to fight
The nightmare enters in my mind
Then I’m the menace I’m the fiend
The wicked catastrophic being
I lose control for just a second
Rest my life I spend regretting
Trust I’ve built up all my years
Will wash away and disappear
Don’t wanna bring no hell to earth
Just rid me of this wretched curse
Fire in my veins
Like poison in me
Instincts inflame
And burn everything
My world in flames
So so so so thankful for you guys. You truly have no idea. I made this track years ago as an instrumental. Huge shoutout to Rebecca Ray for helping me finally put a melody to the track. I really hope you enjoy it. Love you all. Stay blessed.

Here's something I made purely for fun. Totally thought it sounded like an old school anime opening hence the name haha Really hope you like it !Huge shout out to Tiffany Bodine for helping write the track and Rebecca Ray for singing on the acoustic version! Love you all!
In light of recent events, I wasn't sure if I should've postponed this track or not.Especially with the topic having to do with war. I don't know much about what's going on but wanted to send my love and prayers to all who need it. May God be with you and may you and your loved ones stay safe.

Lyrics:
It’s been so long
Since I’ve seen you in the flesh
You’ve been so strong
You’re an angel heaven sent
It’s been so hard
Oh these trenches are so bleak
You’ve been the spark
When the dark is all I see
Just give me time
And the battle will subside
I’ll be your light
Slay the dragon for you
Live like the legends and carry on this flame
For our children we’ll fight for better days
For now I’ll write to you
These winds they blow
Feel the chill down to my bones
My spirits low
I think of you
Only one who pulls me through
My strength renewed
So much of my life I’ve been afraid
Then In came a girl she gave me strength
Through all of this
Just a little more
And we’ll carry out this war
I’ll sail towards shore
And we’ll be together
Live like the legends and carry our days
Raise our children until we’re old and gray
For now I’ll wait
You won’t believe
Oh the news that came to me
Seems the monsters flee’d
Back to Jupiter we’re free
Tell our village the battles reached an end
Tell our brothers our sisters and our friends
I’m coming home to you
Hey guys, I'm really nervous about this one. This was how I initially heard the track in my head, but ended up cutting the ending due to how abstract and aggressive it was. This version came up when I was showing some of my new songs to my family and they loved it. So I figured I'd share it with you guys as well! Really sorry if it's too different for you. Still love you all. Love Gara. I hope the extended cut does him justice :)

Lyrics:
Look at all this devastation
Walk away humiliated
Ignorance revived this dormant
Beast inside now I can’t take it
There’s blood on my hands
Now this moment is stamped in my
Memory I panic
Created catastrophe
Can’t take it back
Guess I am who I am
My innocence Vanquished
The criminal awakened
Who could save me now
Watch me spiral down
I made such a mess of my conscious
It’s making me nauseous
Been drifting so slowly
Now it’s takin me fully oh
Who could save me now
This virus is over bearing
This trauma is never letting go
The darkness it creeps
Into all of my being
This monster is taking all control
Had no one to listen no one to care
Everyone acted like I wasn’t there
I was only a kid
How could I forgive
Seems vengeance will be my only hope
Don’t save me now
Watch me spiral down
I made such a mess of my conscious
It’s making me nauseous
But if no one will love me
at least they’ll feel something
Stay there watch me drown
Don't steal my soul
Don't steal my soul
Don't steal my soul
Let me be
Die just die
You can't save me
Won't you learn
It's taken over
Watch me burn
Hey guys! I had the huge honor of working with Rebecca Ray. She was one of the kindest most humble people I've come across. Definitely check out her YouTube and Spotify! Love you all! Thank you so much for listening!

Lyrics:
Well I’m angry
And I’m tired
Of your self
ordained power
It’s so like you to
Ignore what I say
Disrespectful never caring
Always stressful when you’re near me
Now I’m waiting go and minimize my pain
It’s the pattern that your using
To confine me to abuse me
Well it’s over ‘less you hear what I say
It’s so costly to be near you
Know it pains me but it’s the truth
Would you hear me
You’re just proving your not safe
Go on keep talking like go on keep talking like that
I hope it serves you well When there’s nobody there for you in the end
Keep on screaming
Know I don’t want this I promise I wish you the best
But you’re dragging me through hell
Can’t take anymore
Just gotta protect myself
I’ll admit it That I’m blemished
Not pretending that I’m perfect
I know fault can’t be only put on you
I’m a coward Know I’m so dumb
I get walked on never speak up
But just hear me
Do you know what you put me through ?
Losing sleep over your words
The constant screaming constant curse
Oh you confront me all you want
But when I try you up and walk
Well here’s a taste of what you gave me
Still you’re saying I’m the crazy one
Do you even know the things you’ve done
Ahhhhh
Go on keep talking like go on keep talking like that
I hope it serves you well When there’s nobody there for you in the end
Keep on screaming
Know I don’t want this I promise I wish you the best
But you’re dragging me through hell
Can’t take anymore
Just gotta protect myself
Go on keep talking like go on keep talking like that
I hope it serves you well When there’s nobody there for you in the end
Keep on screaming
Know I don’t want this I promise I wish you the best
But you’re dragging me through hell
Can’t take anymore
Just gotta protect myself
Love you guys

You know I hate this distance
I never meant to hurt you love
Can I ask forgiveness
I should have never gave you up
I pushed you far away
Cause I was so afraid
To let this armor break
I sabotaged this flame
And left you so alone
With a broken soul
Cause I just couldn’t cope
With being vulnerable
And these memories they come back like
A movie in my mind
And our laughter is the soundtrack 'til
I wrecked all of it's life
And oh my God I am so selfish
Insecure so foolish blind
I let you go now I got nothing
Stand here frozen stuck in time
Well I see you standing there you
Look so beautiful but
You're standing next to him and
It's unbearable you're
In your favorite dress he
Goes to hold you close and
I can't catch my breath still
Wishing I was yours
I’m so ashamed
I should’ve fought to save
And given everything for what was
Everything to me
Can’t cope
Just dancing on my own
Stuck with this empty soul
How could I let you go
And these memories they come back like
A movie in my mind
And our laughter is the soundtrack 'til
I wrecked all of it's life
And oh my God I am so selfish
Insecure so foolish blind
I let you go now I got nothing
Stand here frozen stuck in time
Ever since I did "Second Place" with Bosslogic, I've been drawing a ton of inspiration from Anime/Comics. This one was inspired by Gara from Naruto. Really hope you guys like this one. Love you all.

Lyrics:
Walking this tight rope one misstep I’ll fall to the wind (den)
The higher you fly just the steeper you fall when it ends
Oh I’m an imposter I’m not what I seems
If you could hear all the things that I think
The anger that’s boiling when jealousy screams
All these illusions will bury me deep
Dreams of my ruin convinced that they’ll see me someday
Lying there naked no hiding in money and fame
Be careful of power it’s not what it seems
If you ain’t integrous a scoundrel like me
It’ll send you to heaven until it meets hell
Where everyones laughing as you’re locked in your cell
The fire is rising right under this rope as my
My armors igniting I start to let go
My mask burns to ash and my face is revealed
Well we’ve made it at last now I’m forced to be real
With this mess I’ve made destructive ways
These sinful games I keep on playing
If fall short of would you endure
Or tear my soul with strife and scorn
I wrote this song with my buddy Matt Ellis from 4th Point. Most days are great. But some days, I can't get my head out of the gutter. Love you all so much.

Verse 1:
We all fade away
In the end we're all the same
Desperate please we make
In the silence of our Pain
Pre Chorus:
Here in the slow mundane, I break
Stuck in the memory of my shame
When all that I am, crumbles like sand
In this lonely room, I say
Chorus:
Where is the meaning
Everything’s fleeting
Everyone I see
Ends in the ground
Where is the purpose
When everything’s worthless
And all that I want is, to be unbound
To be unbound
Verse 2:
We all crave the same
To be understood and known
Longing for the day
When this searching soul finds home
Pre Chorus 2:
Here in the silent room, I pray
As these weary bones decay
When all that's within, starts to go dim
The breath inside within me fades
Chorus 2:
Where is the meaning
When everything’s fleeting
Everyone I see
Ends in the ground
Where is the purpose
When everything’s worthless
And all that want is, to be unbound
To be unbound
Bridge:
If I fall asleep for eternity
Would you even care at all
If I start to sink
Would you rescue me
Would you even hear me call
Chorus 3
And where is the meaning
When everything’s fleeting
Everyone I see
Ends in the ground
Where is the purpose
When everything’s worthless
All that want is, to be unbound
To be unbound

Verse 1 (Matt)
Hurt that inside, feel I’m never enough
When truth becomes lies, so broken and numb
Pre-chorus ( Nathan)
My heart inside, beats a little louder
Here tonight, Will you take me higher
and oh, you just need to go home
CHORUS: (Matt)
And Oh, you need to run
From Darkness Chasing us
Verse 2 (Nathan)
I’ll look to the stars, know that I’m not alone
Storm in my heart pray you're leading me home
Pre-chorus ( Matt)
My heart inside, beats a little louder
Here tonight, Will you start a fire
Oh how I’ve needed some hope
CHORUS 2

From darkness, chasing us (Nathan)
You need to run, (Dub)
You need to run (Dub)

It’s chasing us (Dub)

And all I am is lost
Only home I know is gone
Would you point me back to shore
The waters rising up
Troubled thoughts won’t seem to stop
Would you point this ship back home

And Oh, you need to run (Nathan)
From darkness, chasing us (Nathan)
And all you need is (Matt)
What you see (Matt)
And now it’s time to run (Matt)
And all you need is (Matt)
What you see (Matt)
And now it’s time to run (Matt

Love you guys so much. My buddy Joseph Daniel wrote these lyrics and pitched them for me to use as a song. I was absolutely moved. So I put together a melody/structure and here we are now. Hope you guys like it. Gave it everything I had.
Lyrics
Cold hearts break beneath the strain
But mine fills up in pouring rain
Feels like drowning in icy seas
surrounded by boats with no place for me
All tangled in my heart strings
I try to play this melody
Was never meant to be alone
Was never meant to be alone
Let me in—from this storm
“There's no place to make you warm”
On locked doors, I keep pounding
Please, I scream, I think I'm drowning
Let me in! Let me in!
In the cold, I keep on swimming,
Boats drift by, with huddled figures
Shoulder to shoulder, they keep from freezing
Making it all just look so easy
All tangled in my heart strings
I try to play this melody
Let me in—from this storm
“There's no place to keep you warm”
On locked doors, I keep pounding
Please, I scream, I think I'm drowning
Let me in! Let me in!
Beneath the dark, something calls to me
I hear a voice, whispering softly
But I'm still drowning, I’m treading faster,
But another figure, is in the water
A plank of wood, drifts on by,
So I’m Racing towards and there I lie
I reach on out, for this stranger
Make room for her, despite the danger
Was never meant to be alone
Was never meant to be alone
Was never meant to be alone
Was never meant to be alone
Let her in—from the storm
“There's a place to make her warm”
On locked doors, she kept pounding
Please, she screamed, “I think I'm drowning.”
So I let her in
Let her in.
Let her in
Let her in
Let her in
Let her in

Lyrics:
Look around I hear them whisper
All the lights begin to flicker
Paranoia fills my head
Heart it pounds my face is red
The silence drowning out my screams
See everybody look at me
Their bodies turning into beasts
There eyes are red they come for me
Wait it’s only in my head just breath in breath out
Another episode just calm down calm down
Instincts waging war inside
The hold me up so tight
Fear freezes me to ice
I’m locked up inside my mind
Mind it wavers back and forth
Paranoid so calm and sure
Lucid dreaming everyday
From chill to hyperventilate
See everything that could go wrong
It clings to me from dusk to dawn
To isolates the only way
As mental health deteriorates
Everything’s foggy hold on breath in breath out
Another morning come on calm down down
Won’t you let me go - Won’t you let me go - I can’t take much more - Won’t you let me go
Don’t know if I’m awake or I’m asleep
These thoughts are burying me deep
Afraid of eery little thing
I’m drowning - I’m drowning
This souls just longing here for peace
But the darkness screams and shouts and shrieks
Shoot all their arrows down on me
Please save me please save me
Save me from myself
Oh
Save me from myself
Oh
You're not real
You've never been real
You're not real
So get out of my mind
You're not real
You've never been real
You're not real
So get out of my mind

I still think of you everyday. RIP Brittany.
It's been a long day without you around
Wishing I could tell you whats been going down
And I'm missing you
And the things we'd do when we were young
And we'd chase the moon
And I wish you knew
How much we loved you
But I guess there's really nothing that we can do
To get to you
Been thinking 'bout the promises that we made
And I vow that I will never ever let them break
I feel you near though it's been some years
It's like you're right there through every tear
And you comfort me though I can't see you
It's like you know exactly what I'm going through
Like I can get to you
Like I can get to you
Like I can get to you
Like I can get to you
Like I can get to you
It's been a long day without you around

I remember blocking out everyone and everything from my life for about a year and half because I was too anxious to leave my house. There was this underlying panic that wouldn't just leave. I pushed so many people away, not because I didn't love them, but because I was afraid to see them. It's hard to explain. I've been fighting like crazy to face these fears and not allow own. I don't want the thing I hate most to tell me how I'm gonna live my life. I hope you guys like this one. Tried to be as honest as possible. Love you all.
You take all my energy you
Taunt me til my wrists are bleeding
Wish I was stronger had some peace
I’m just a slave to you
Every moment you are reaching
For my throat I’m barely breathing
Tortured memories got me sinking I’m
Just a slave to you
Look at all the things you’ve stolen
Every time you’ve made me frozen
I hate everything about you
Shouldn’t have to be this way
Constant panic constant pain
I hate everything about you
Constant struggle every minute
I take one step you start you start medaling
Puppeteering take me over
Just a slave to you
Give you the reigns All Decisions
You got me cornered I can’t pivot
Feel so worthless see you grinning
Just a slave to you
Look at all the things you’ve stolen
Every time you’ve made me frozen
I hate everything about you
Shouldn’t have to be this way
Constant panic constant pain
I hate everything about you
Sinking further
In your ocean
Reach for shore but
But waves keep forming
falling faster
You love to torture
Well here’s to one last
Fight to sever
Oh this bottled up rage inside
Starts to light up in flames tonight
Oh I'm looking you in the eye
You're so sick you look paralyzed
Feel this power rush through my veins
As this milestone it separates
I link it to your neck I
Watch you sink I catch my breath
Sinking closer
To your glory
Silver shores take
Every worry
See you beaming
Lost in wonder
All my anxious
Thoughts they slumber

Hey guys, I had the privilege of collaborating with BossLogic on this one. He's one of the most incredible artists on planet earth. We wrote "One" awhile back and to be able to work with him again meant everything to me. For this one, he was inspired by Vegeta's story from DBZ. Forever seeking first yet always remaining behind Goku. When he pitched it to me a few weeks back, I really resonated. Had that feeling like no matter how hard I work I'm falling behind. Really hope you like it. Love you guys so much.
Lyrics
When I was young
Life it seemed so long
Like I could live forever
I thought I was strong
But as I grew it felt like the length of a song
Filled with rights and wrongs
Holding ties that bind
Till The end of the words
Of the lyrics you heard
Oh I ponder I search
For the meaning of it all
I ask myself why
Would I even try?
Spent my whole of my life
Trying to touch the sky
But I keep falling on the ground
Watch them pass me all around
Feels like I’m losing all my faith
That I will ever take first place
The rain hides
The tears upon my face
And where the sun is so distant
Another losing race even though I
Never stop never stop fighting
Or giving up the chase
I always find myself stuck in second place
I ask myself why
Would I even try?
Spent my whole of my life
Trying to touch the sky
But I keep falling on the ground
Watch them pass me all around
Feels like I’m losing all my faith
That I will ever take first place
The shows not over yet
Although it’s the lowest I’ve ever been
Being down on the floor brings room to grow
Room to take control
To not be like this no more
You ask me how I cope?
The fact is that I don't
I let pride take all may soul
Until I’m lifeless bones
I know giving up I won't
And first place I will know

Lyrics:
Can you feel it?
Don’t you see it?
The chaos lurking
Darkness searching
Hear me out
Theres dragons breathing
Faith receding
Hecklers shout
Babylon the great harlots mother abominations of the earth
It’s blasphemy
I see the ember sky collapsing on us all
Rigid mountainside it quivers til it falls
I never thought that I would see it all so clear
Armageddon chimes the end is here
Take me into memories
Something stable some tranquility
Catastrophic dreams of Noahs day
Paranoias taking everything
Now who’s to blame
Gotta break away
I can’t escape
I see the ember sky collapsing on us all
Rigid mountainside it quivers til it falls
I never thought that I would see it all so clear
Armageddon chimes the end is here

Lyrics
A broken heart in trouble
I feel the light go dim I
Look at my reflection
And only see my sin I’m
Wondering how I gat here
The walls are closing in
And I pray oh God how could you love me
You know what I did
When I feel my hope is burning
The worlds weight on top of me
You say child why are you guilty
Can’t you see I made you clean
And I cannot give an answer
I just fall down on my knees and you
Say child why are you worried
Can’t you see I’ve set you free
And you are loved
You are loved
A wandering soul inside me
I chose the world again and
I know the light’s abiding
But It’s gotta have it’s ends, oh
Can’t you see I’m dirty
Can’t you see my mess
Oh God how could you love me
I’m not good enough for this
When I feel my hope is burning
The worlds weight on top of me
You say child why are you guilty
Can’t you see I made you clean
And I cannot give an answer
I just fall down on my knees and you
Say child why are you worried
Can’t you see I’ve set you free
And you are loved
You are loved
Stop trying so hard
You’ve already won my heart
And that will never change no
That will never change, woah
No place too far
No sin too dark
Could make me go away
Oh I’ll never go away
When I feel my hope is burning
The worlds weight on top of me
You say child why are you guilty
Can’t you see I made you clean
And I cannot give an answer
I just fall down on my knees and you
Say child why are you worried
Can’t you see I set you free
And you’re so loved
Currently, this song means everything to me. I don't know if it's my best production, or my best vocal, or my best lyrics, but it's definitely one of the most honest tracks I've done. Love you guys so much. Hope you like "Growing Up"

Lyrics:
I found a gray today
Childish instincts grow farther astray (Sinking farther from childish ways)
Time it slips away
Days are long but years they race
Would you slow down just a little
I don’t wanna reach the middle
I’m terrified of change
‘nother landmark in my story
‘nother bill another worry
My youths so far away
Would you hold on love
I’m just trying to catch up
Cause these leaves keep on falling
Then winter is stormin’
These seasons are shifting
Like dusk to morning
Wake me up
Make this slumber stop
It’s all slipping away
These hours to days
I’ll admit it I’m afraid
Of growing up
Another line on my face
a sign of wisdom or a mortals chain?
I guess we’re born in decay
Before you know it these decades chase you
Down like there’s a bounty
Count to ten and they’re surrounding
Can’t outrun natures pace
Nothing new under the sun
came from ash return to dust
Can’t win this wretched game
Would you hold on love
I’m just trying to catch up
Cause these leaves keep on falling
Then winter is stormin’
These seasons are shifting
Like dusk to morning
Wake me up
Make this slumber stop
It’s all slipping away
These hours to days
I’ll admit it I’m afraid
Of growing up
Of getting older of growing up
I’ve never thought I was strong enough
To be my savior bear my own crutch
Afraid to see what this becomes
Would you slow down just a little
I don’t wanna miss the riddle
This moments all we have
Tell my mother that I love her
Tell my father tell my brothers
You’re everything I am
Oh hold on love
I’m just trying to catch up
Cause these leaves keep on falling
Then winter is stormin’
These seasons are shifting
Like dusk to morning
Wake me up
Make this slumber stop
It’s all slipping away
These hours to days
I’ll admit it I’m afraid
Of growing up

This moment means everything to me. I can't listen through all these songs in this order without losing it. If I'm speaking honestly, this album was mainly birthed from me trying to cope with constant negative emotion. No matter what I did. It sounds weird, but looking back, I'm grateful. Grateful for the pain. It forced me to look deeper inside myself. To learn more. Get smarter. Get stronger. If you're struggling with depression/anxiety or any sort of mental illness, I promise you you're not alone. It takes extreme pressure to create a pearl. Extreme heat to purify a diamond. Sometimes pains the only way we come to life. The only way we're able to maximize our potential. I love you. Life is worth living I promise. If this weights to heavy to bear I encourage you to reach out in the comments and I ask everyone else to pour some love on those brave enough to open up. I know I will. Hope you enjoy this. I gave it everything I had. Love you all.
I know these songs were previously released, but I hope the order breathes some new life into them. Love you guys so much.

Lyrics
AND SHATTERED HALOS FALL
ACROSS THE STREET OF SOLID GOLD
I KNOW YOU LONGED FOR A
PLACE TO CALL YOUR OWN
I FORGET THE WAY I CRIED
WHEN I HEARD IT CALL YOUR NAME
BUT I HOPE FOR LAUGHTER THAT IS
COMING AFTER PAIN
I'D CHASE THESE
TIDAL WAVES
TO TOUCH YOUR HAND ONCE MORE
BUT THE CURRENT STRENGTH
WON'T LET ME LEAVE THIS SHORE
AND THESE SANDCASTLES BREAK
BENEATH WATERS I ONCE WORE
AND THESE TIDAL WAVES
WILL CARRY YOU FURTHER NORTH
SO THIS IS HOW IT ENDS
SELLING PIECES OF YOUR SOUL
IN THIS GARAGE SALE OF
ALL THE THINGS YOU OWNED
YOUR FAVORITE SWEATER GOES
BOUGHT BY SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW
AS THEY STRIP AWAY
EVERYTHING BUT BONES
I'D CHASE THESE
TIDAL WAVES
TO TOUCH YOUR HAND ONCE MORE
BUT THE CURRENT STRENGTH
WON'T LET ME LEAVE THIS SHORE
AND THESE SANDCASTLES BREAK
BENEATH WATERS I ONCE WORE
AND THESE TIDAL WAVES
WILL CARRY YOU FURTHER NORTH
AND LET THE ANGELS SING
LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA
AND LET THE DEMONS HOWL
WOAH-WOAH-WOAH
ANOTHER SWEATER GOES
ALONG WITH THE TROPHY CASE
EMPIRE BUILDING BUT
WHO WAS IT REALLY FOR?
CASKET IN THE GROUND
AND YOUR SOUL STARES FROM THE SKY
FROM THIS HIGH UP'S LIKE
SAND CASTLES ON THE SHORE
I’D SWIM THROUGH
TIDAL WAVES
TO TOUCH YOUR HAND ONCE MORE
BUT THE CURRENT STRENGTH
WON'T LET ME LEAVE THIS SHORE
AND THESE SANDCASTLES BREAK
BENEATH WATERS I ONCE WORE
AND THESE TIDAL WAVES
WILL CARRY YOU FURTHER NORTH
AND LET THE ANGELS SING
LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA
AND LET THE DEMONS HOWL
WOAH-WOAH-WOAH
AND LET THE ANGELS SING
LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA
AND LET THE DEMONS HOWL
WOAH-WOAH-WOAH
