“You Don’t See Me”
Last night I took enough selfies to last
Dropped by a party that had already crashed
Wandered off through midnight looking for you
But you hid in darkness with not one clue
No messages will ever get through
No need for secrets or making do
No magic left for us to pursue
You don’t see me like I see you
Daylight came and your texts were ill conceived
Morning a lesson that’s easy to believe
Squandered my hope and dreams thinking of us
But you don’t have a heart that I can trust
No messages will ever get through
No need for secrets or making do
No magic left for us to pursue
You don’t see me like I see you
But walking out of the darkness into a sunrise sky
I realize my future’s in hands that are all mine
So the truth is ..and no reason for a why….
Last night I took enough selfies to last
Dropped by a party that had already crashed
Wandered off through midnight looking for you
But you hid in darkness with not one clue
No messages will ever get through
No need for secrets or making do
No magic left for us to pursue
You don’t see me like I see you

“Banging in My Head”
Water misting on the mirror
What do I see?
Wrinkled eyes and fractured lips
Waiting for me
Out of mind and out of sight
But a visionary
For all the things I know
Are my purgatory
-Ooooh-
Thoughts spiraling
My head is surely melting
I can’t feel a thing
It doesn’t matter
Panic getting stronger
I feel impending doom getting closer
Buy more time
But things can not founder
-Ooooh-
On the banging in my head
One misstep, another mistake
One more thing I lose and can’t replace
The banging in my head
Another “last time,” I swear to believe it
Hoping this time I could finally leave it be
Late night out, a lonely drive
Home far behind
Grip on the wheel, losing focus
An itch in my spine
For every street light turning red
My vision does too
Me and death dance together
In rendezvous
-Ooooh-
Hands slowly shaking
This can’t be how I am
Missed nobody knows me
Not the way my demons do
No one to hold me close
No single path I chose
These voices screaming
Happiness is a virtue
-Ooooh-
The banging in my head
One misstep, another mistake
One more thing I lose and can’t replace
The banging in my head
Another “last time,” I swear to believe it
Hoping this time I could finally leave it be

“DEFENDER”
You never know what someone’s thinking
You never know what could be
On their mind
So I’ll try to keep believing
That there’s light in something
On your mind
Defending those in need
Support who’s on their knees
Love who makes me happy
And say I mean it
You never know what something’s thinking
So I’ll hold you when you’re sinking
Waves go by
I can’t feel what you’re grieving
But I can help you slow your breathing
Wipe tears from your eyes
Defending those in need
Support who’s on their knees
Love who makes me happy
And say I mean it
I know it’s hard to find comfort
Putting faith in another
Is terrifying
Don’t panic, you’re not the first
To feel sad, alone, or deeply hurt
Take your time
I’ll defend you when you’re in need
Support you when you’re on your knees
Cause you make me happy
And I’ll say I mean it
You never know what someone’s thinking
You never know what could be
On their mind

“SKY”
Oh you tried hold me back but I held on
Now I’m right back on track and I’m long gone
There’s nothing you can do that’ll stop me
Cause I broke from those chains and I roam free
Every place that I go holds a sunrise
A new masterpiece begging for fresh eyes
There’s an endless sea just to sail on
Goes for miles and miles, got my sails drawn
Feel that wind in my hair from the warm breeze
And a nice rope to walk on like a trapeze
Hoist the anchor and head for the blue waves
There’s nowhere to be as a castaway
Look towards the night sky
Watch the clouds go floating by
Happy and free is what I'm feeling
When you have the sky as your ceiling
Surrounded by all the walls of a confine
Stuck inside the construction of a new life
There’s a future waiting out there for me
The outside world’s a liberty taunting
Sew me up, hem me through, try to lockdown
What you don’t know is I’m already off the ground
All I need is a little bit of sunlight
No bother clouding up my vision for petty spite
Feeling above, rather take the highroad
The universe is my own humble abode
Watch the edges of my pain start to rust
Find my place among the stardust
Look towards the night sky
Watch the clouds go floating by
Happy and free is what I'm feeling
When you have the sky as your ceiling
