Gone 02:49
lyrics

The rain comes down like cannons in the night My foggy eyes cannot seem to find a light I have been looking for your arms in unfamiliar places They're not there, I've only found a bunch of washed out faces You are gone, you are your own, and now I'm alone I know where you have been and I know you will never surround me again I wanted to drown inside your soul I was ready to let everything go Loving you seemed like the right thing to do But you found yourself in her while I lost myself in you You know if you would have given me a second thought, I could have loved you forever, now we both know that I don't You know if you would have stayed around and fought, I could have loved you forever but it's best that I won't Now I am gone, I am my own, and we're all all alone You know where I have been and I hope you know that you will never surround me again

These Days 03:28

These days everything is against me, these days everybody is so far away These days I am buried and cannot see, for there is no longer light that comes with the day These days I see no smiles in my mirror, these days no songs are rolling off my tongue These days I do not see any clearer, my body has stopped feeling young I am just a coward, too afraid to die Too afraid to run, all I know how to do is cry and Everything within me wants to live again but I am too weak to stand and I don't think I can win These days I cannot find any sleep, these days things are never what they seem These days I do not feel any peace unless I come across you in a daydream I remember when I was in a perfect place, the sun was shining down on me, now that is not the case I will find that state again, though today is not the day, then I will let nobody beak it, nothing will take it away

Still Hanging Around 03:42
lyrics

Every song that I hear on the radio is about you, they're all about you I can't believe somebody else knows what you put me through too You are the noose that hangs tight around my neck It keeps getting tighter every day as my soul disconnects I'm not okay with the choices I've made I'm not okay because it's such a slow fade I'm not okay with the lies that you say I'm not okay but I hope you're okay You are absolute poison, I can't have you in my system But I cannot wash you out After the hundredth drink of water, you're still hanging around You know I'm still gonna sing for you on your birthday I'm still gonna want you in a million days I swear to god I will go down into my grave singing You are my everything, you are my everything I'm not okay with what you did I'm not okay with the way I handled it I'm not okay with crying in my sleep I'm not okay because I'm in too deep I'm not okay with the love that I have I'm not okay because you're all that I had I'm not okay because you shattered my heart I'm not okay but I hope you're better off

Fire Alarm 05:05
lyrics
buy track
Do you see me in the corner in my chair? All alone even though everybody's there Are you trapped in this place with me? Because I thought I heard you speak but it's so dark and I can't see Do I want to talk about it on the weekend? Maybe everything will be fine by then Did you say that to be happy is to feel? Because I don't believe that happiness is real I hope somebody pulls the fire alarm, 'cause we've got to get out of here I hope somebody lays all this trouble to rest I hope somebody pulls the fire alarm and gets me out of this mess Will you see me when I tear down the hall? Running like there's no one else at all Did I say that I want to go home? Because I don't, I just don't want to be alone I tried to be your everything I tried to do the right thing I tried to become something I tried to stop at nothing I hope somebody pulled the fire alarm while I was outside in distress I hope somebody laid all this trouble to rest I hope somebody pulled the fire alarm because it's time to get out of this mess

about

This is a collection of songs that I wrote in the summer of 2014, the hardest summer I have experienced so far. I chose to record all of these songs with minimal production because they express very raw emotion and they mean a lot to me. Thank you to everyone who listens to this, I hope that you can take something away from it. These songs remind me that going through bad times makes good times better, and I hope this is something you can grow to appreciate as well.
