Self-Titled (2021)

 
 

I’M SORRY

I'm sorry

I can't seem to drown them out

I'm sorry

Their voices in my head

Like toxic venom, sorry

All the conditioning

The religious teaching, sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I wish I was further along

In my journey

I wish I could be strong

And block out all my worries

God I want to stay

But oh my mind is swirling

Down the drain from all the pain

I'm scared to have a son

They say without a dad

He'll be broken

Is this really what God wants

For us to raise 4 kids as just two moms

How do I tell the love of my life

I'm scared about the afterlife

If she becomes my wife

How do I say I'm terrified

To be the reason my children

Are treated different

I'm sorry

I'm on the ledge no looking down

I'm sorry

Thought I'd have me figured out by now

I'm sorry

I wish I was further along in my journey

I wish I could be strong

And block out all my worries

God I want to stay

But oh my mind is swirling

Down the drain from all the pain

I'm scared to have a son

They say without a dad he'll be broken

Is this really what God wants

For us to raise 4 kids as just two moms

How do I tell the love of my life

I'm scared about the afterlife

If she becomes my wife

How do I say I'm terrified

To be the reason

My children are treated different

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm scared

I'm scared

But oh I'm scared

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

Sorry

I'm sorry

But I

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

But I still believe their lies

MISS DIRECTION

Onward then

Onward then

Onward then

Onward then

So my love, my miss direction

It's time I fly

Into the great wide open

MR. CLEVELAND

I'm just a lonely roaming nomad

Passing through from time to time

I tip my hat to all my lads and sing

Don't worry I'll be fine

Cuz there's a great big world that's out there

Pressing 'gainst my fingertips

Strumming my love and best of wishes

Oh you'll be dearly, deeply missed

So so long Mr. Cleveland

I'm heading out tonight

Not really sure when I'll be coming back

So I guess this means goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Woah

I'm just a quiet flower

A silent breeze

Blowing like feather-like tendencies

I skip alone so bold

Adventurously

To the drum that's beating within me

So so long Mr. Cleveland

I'm heading out tonight

Not really sure when I'll be coming back

So I guess this means goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Hello Miss Direction

Would you be my guiding light

Because the smoke has cleared

but now I fear

That I'll be alone tonight

Will I be alone

Will I be alone tonight

Will I be alone tonight

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye, Cleveland

HIKING CO

I can taste the sweat

Of thousand men traveling

I can see the feet

Of she who trekked before me

Underneath my toes

Hiking Colorado

I can feel their pain

Know I'll never be the same

So come on, rain

I can hear them whistling

To the birds song singing

About missing home

Hiking colorado

La, la, la, la, la

La, la la

HEY YOUTH

Follow me

She says to me

Holding out her hand

Come and see

What you're missing

Without me

Honestly

Is this something

That I need

A little wild

A little free

A little space to spread my wings

A little wild

A little free

A little space to spread my wings

To find me

Ain't that what I'm supposed to do

Ain't that what I'm supposed to do

Oh ain't that what I'm supposed to do

Ain't that what I'm supposed to do... at 22

Wait a minute

This isn't what I thought

It would be like

Can't wait another minute

Someone get me

Off this bike

A little wild

A little freaking out

A little praying on my knees

A little wild

A little freakin out

A little praying on my knees

Oh God what am I supposed to do

What am I supposed to do

Oh God what am I supposed to do

What am I supposed to do

I'm saying goodbye

I was wrong

I belong back home

With my future wife

So kill my pride

Young and fooled by

All your lies

Oh God what I'm supposed to do

What I'm supposed to do

Oh God what am I supposed to do

What am I supposed to do

Oh God what am I supposed to do

What am I supposed to do

Oh God what am I supposed to do

What am I supposed to do

POSTCARDS

A quill and ink

Spilling everything that I'm thinking

Wondering can I talk you down, and work

this out

I mail it out

In the little blue box on the other side of town

We're on the brink

Of losing touch, losing us

Tears falling in the sink

I brush 'em off, paint a smile on

Try not to blink

Try not to overthink

Another postcard

Falling on your deaf ears

Falling on your deaf, your deaf heart

Another postcard

Falling on your deaf ears

Falling on your deaf, your deaf heart

It's been 3 weeks

Haven't heard a peep

Are you getting these

I'm freaking out

I'm breaking down

On this mountain top

I'm tumbling down

Another postcard

Falling on your deaf ears

Falling on your deaf, your deaf heart

Another postcard

Falling on your deaf ears

Falling on your deaf, your deaf heart

But I still hold my breath

That some day you'll read them

And you'll remember what we had

I know they're not much but

They're all I've got so

Are they enough to bring you back

But they're just postcards

Falling on your deaf ears

Falling on your deaf, your deaf heart

They're just postcards

Falling on your deaf ears

Falling on your deaf, your deaf heart

They're just postcards

Falling on your deaf ears

Falling on your deaf, your deaf heart

SNOWBIRD

Yeah i know it's getting colder

Yeah I know we're growing older

But it's my hope we'll still remember

Each other

I find it strange

How people change

They come and go

Like the seasons in Ohio

Oh snowbird fly home

Oh snowbird fly home

Back to me

Oh snowbird fly home

(Fly home)

(Fly home)

They say my heart will heal in time

But i'm not fine

They say my heart will heal in time

But i'm not all right

They say my heart will heal in time

But trust me

I've tried

Moving on with my life

But she just might be my wife

So I look to God for a sign

Should I give up or should I fight

Should I give up for should I fight

Should I give up or should I fight

Should I give up ohhhhhh

Snowbird fly home

Oh snowbird fly home

Back to me

Oh snowbird, fly home

REGULAR

Welcome darkness, my favorite ex

I've been expecting you, watch your step

You're right on time

To steal the light from my eyes

So come inside

I'll get you some water without ice

So tell me Shadow, how've you been

It's been a while but I knew that you'd come

back again

After all this time

You still know your way

Around my mind

Cuz you're a regular in my life

Don't be shy

Come give me a kiss

I've gotta fill you in

On all the happiness you missed

Like the girl I met and fell in love with

But don't worry

I wasn't worthy of it

Darkness!

Oh, I'm starving!

We're too familiar

Dancing in the winter

Your shade of red

Deceives me again

Darkness, my favorite ex

GRAVITY

Gravity

The force between

Us, it's gravity

Pushing pulling you so close

Yet far away from me

Oh gravity

Gravity

This energy

In me, gravity

Suffocating oxygenating me

Gravity

Weighing heavy levitating me

Gravity

Oh gravity

A mystery unsolved

Why should I let me fall?

I'd rather build my walls

Cuz when I'm vulnerable

I'm in pain

But I keep chasing you

I'm insane

But I keep waiting for you

I'm in pain

I'm in pain

I'm in pain

I'm in pain

I'm in pain

I'm in pain

Gravity

Like father like son

The apple don't fall far from the tree

Hello Adam, Goodbye Eve

A mystery unsolved

Why should I let me fall?

I'd rather build my walls

Cuz when I am vulnerable

I'm in pain

But I keep chasing you

I'm insane

So I keep waiting for you

I'm in pain

I'm in pain

I'm in pain

I'm in pain

I'm in pain

I'm in pain

Why do I try?

Every time I

Just get broken down

When you change your mind

They say that loving is blind

That it just takes time

I don't care

I'm not fine

Gravity

The force between

Us, it's gravity

It's just gravity

FIGHTS WITH GOD

She fooled me once but not again

What I thought was love was just pretend

Now I lie here in ashes of us

My heart blackened from what she's done

They say there is this God above

And in Him they say I'm supposed to trust

Could You reveal Yourself to me

Cuz I'm losing my fight to breathe

Can you hear me scream

Are you listening

My heart is breaking on the floor

How do I have faith anymore

I know you're hurting, I AM too

And yes, I'm listening to you

I know you're broken from broken love

But my child I made you tough

Can you hear me scream

Are you listening

I know your heart's breaking on the floor

But you can't see what I have in store

Help me God, I can't take much more

It's gonna take some time to heal those scars

But with who can I trust my heart

Just hold onto Me, we've come this far

No, I can't believe it's just too hard...

Can you hear me scream

Are you listening

Just don't give up on me... please

Can you hear me sing

This jaded prayer like thing

Can You really bring me healing

LIGHT ON

Leave a light on and I'll come home

Its been so long, lonely nights beneath the moon

Are you giving up on me? I heard there's someone new

But what can I do

What should I do

Should I leave a light on for you

You

Should I leave a light on for you

I met someone, tender and handsome

He told me he loved me, but should I let him

What should I do

What should I do

Should I leave a light on for you

You

Should I leave a light on for you?

La la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Should I leave the light on for you?

You

Should I leave the light on for you

Should I leave the light on for you

Should I leave the light on for you

Should I leave the light on for you

Should I leave the light on for you

HONEYCOMB

Rainstick, oh the gravity abounding thee

Guiding you to make this sound

In perfect harmony

Acoustic, oh reverberating me

Through the wooden walls of honeycomb

It echoes as I sing

Electric, oh the harshness of your strings

Though the dust you shake

From all these books gives me belonging

Oh honeycomb

Oh honeycomb

Oh I'm coming home

Oh honeycomb

Ukelele, oh so tender and so sweet

Singing nylon symphonies

To nature's heartbeat

And the keys

Waiting oh so patiently

For a hand to hold this melody

That's putting me to sleep.

Oh honeycomb (I'm coming home)

Oh honeycomb (I'm coming home)

Oh I'm coming home

Oh honeycomb

[I was just so unbelievably lost. So I decided to just take this

huge leap of faith to figure myself out and I found myself

sitting in this little honeycomb room in the middle of

Georgia in the forest That was filled with all these

instruments that were just begging me "pick me up, play

me… this is who you are."]

Oh honeycomb (I'm coming home, I'm coming home I'm)

Oh honeycomb (I'm coming home, I'm coming home I'm)

Oh I'm coming home

Oh honeycomb

Oh honeycomb (I'm coming home, I'm coming home I'm)

Oh honeycomb (I'm coming home, I'm coming home I'm)

Oh I'm coming home

Oh honeycomb

BITTERSWEET

Ooo I loved her

Ooo I loved her so

But she oughtta know

This old heart can’t take no more

Ooo the blood runs slow

Ooo like honey poured

It’s bitter and it’s sweet

but oh, it’s warm

ONWARD THEN

Hello my soul, where've you been?

I'm been stumbling down this road soul searching

Oh break my bones I fucking miss my friends

So lonely I go, onward then

Onward then

Onward then

Onward then

Onward then

Onward then

Onward then

Oh no here we go again

Honey take your sweet time traveling

Cuz you might find what it is that you're missing

You won't know if you don't go, onward then

Onward then

Onward then

Onward then

Onward then

Onward then

Onward then

I know you're scared

I know it hurts

But my love, just one step forward

I know you're scared

I know it hurts

But my love, just one step forward

It's not about being fearless

Cuz we're all scared shitless

So go out and take some chances

And trust in love no matter

What the outcome is

So onward then

Onward then

Onward then

Onward then

Onward then

Onward then

AROAMA

Slowly, I am falling

Can we find our calling

Only space can show me

Lonely, I am roaming

Maybe you are too

My feet are moving faster

Not sure what I am after

I hear the birds sing

“What is the matter?”

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know
