Is It Sad 00:38
Is it sad I know I could kiss you a thousand times and it still wouldn't feel right? Is it sad I never get tired of your face. I could stare at it for days, always. 030312

Naive Reader 02:21
Lost in your voice I found myself out of choices but I chose you Trapped in my head I don't know what I said but I found you April 2013

Could I get a bottle of wine to go with this depression? I'm just attention seeking and self loathing, it's an obsession. A cigarette and a porch is all I need. A cold pillow and a place to sleep Could I get a noose to compliment my position? Tie and knot my thoughts around my condition. A coffee mug and ink is all I drink. A sketchbook outlining all my dreams. But there are worse things than being alone Like being isolated inside what was a home And there are worse things than being by yourself Like all those hurt things you tried not to delve unto Could I get a bottle of wine to go with this depression? I'm just attention seeking and self loathing, it's an obsession. A cigarette and a porch is all I need. A cold pillow and a place to sleep Oct 2012

Fleeting 01:42
while you're out there driving around somewhere do you read the words I wrote while you're away from me playing and sleeping Am I the place you call home cause my heart is telling me you're leaving You're just another burn into my jeans your heart is not worth keeping if you're just another fleeting dream Mar 2013

What did you see in me? And why did it fade away so quickly? Forgotten and replaced memories I told you everything but does she? All the secrets in veins and arteries Find a diary in every thought you think Wash your blood in the salt of the sea But your imprint is all I can see Sept 2012

Forget Me 00:46
I can't stop thinking about you you cross my mind all the time and I know you don't want anything with me but i can't help my mind I know it's hard for you, it must be I don't want you to forget me Dec 2013

You're weird but I like that

Undone 01:11
I'm sick of singing the blues I'm sick writing about you You never caused me anything but pain I'm sick of seeing you and your face it always proves me wrong You always prove me wrong I'm always just the one that sits here watching everything come undone around me sitting here picking up the pieces of what used to be what we did now you're somebody else Dec 2011

as i sat in your car you weren't far, you were getting gin from the store and i thought to myself i can't die or be anybody else because i saw your eyes in that delicate shade of green and it meant everything to feel seen I've been so hidden recently you've unveiled my secrecy And I love the way you speak Everything you say makes me feel weak Only in the knees, for my heart is strong At least enough for me to sing this song And I felt your skin Only once but it was mine Until then I wait, until the next time When I can see your eyes That delicate shade of green Intoxicating thoughts of what we will be Jul 2012

Easily 02:09
I've been traveling to all the places you frequent most And I haven't had any luck on my search, to find you. I have been searching for a place you might be where we can meet But I am starting to see that you are simply avoiding me But that's not a problem at all, I'll keep going until I fall. That's not a problem for me, I don't give up that easily Nov 2011

Cold Hands 02:41
You were over there And I was over here And I shook I mistook you for someone else You were sitting there and you're reading a book and I tried to look away But it's hard to forget a face like that The winter feels colder now The winter feels colder now I was sitting here and you were sitting there and we drank We jumped right in and didn't hesitate I was laying here and you were laying there And you thought of those red Curls you had eyes for I can feel your cold hands on me That sweet breath in your sleep I can feel your cold hands on me Feb 2013
19.
sick and tired of this cold shivering and wishing for a hand to hold would you drink coffee with me? we can laugh for forever and stay up til three snow falls, my father calls i have to go; i don't want to seasons change i remain the same hoping that you would too Nov 2011

Bedsheets 03:04
You're just like the bed sheets That used to cover me in that room where we used to sleep You're just like the rain Bringing me down for days Remember when we all those board games You're just like my scarred mouth Lord knows it won't heal now I tried I tried to figure you out May 2012

Flowers 03:27
I found her in the garden with flowers in her hair I found her in the garden lying there I found her in your thoughts I found her where she rots I found her in your mind where she will rest in time what did they do to you? What did they say? why are you so mistaken, baby? what did they tell you? what did they say? i am so ashamed They found her in the bath tub with raindrops on her face you found her in the bathroom What a disgrace I could've saved you I could have saved you I could have saved you from this What did they do to you? What did they say? I am so ashamed baby I could've save you, and erased I could've made you stay Feb 2013

The only thing I have in common with my dad is a cigarette drag In the morning, I pour my coffee and sit back and I laugh at you all who think you've got it all figured out for a closed mind, you've sure got a big mouth And I woke up with a sadness in my head waiting for you to come back to bed Feb 2010

about

This project is to help raise money for me to attend Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. I'm selling a collection of 22 private recordings of original songs and unfinished covers recorded on my phone and extracted from webcam videos adorned with static, dogs barking and excerpts of my voice. I have no formal training, but I’m sharing these to help fulfill my goals. Thank you for supporting me.
