“Inhale/Exhale”
completed on 2.26.17
sometimes this life can be so rough
like sandpaper tearing
the skin right off of me
open wounds and an open heart
the sadness falling
saline rolling down my cheek
the weight of life’s responsibilities
crushing all my dreams
give me relief, throw me anything
sometimes life’s expectations
a rope slipping, a rope tightening
the lifeline in your embrace
your breath, the air my lungs need
the sunshine your love feeds me
this life can be so rough
pins and needles and heartache
but i’ll keep on fighting
’cause your love gave me a heartbeat
your love a reason to breathe
your love pushed life into me
“thief”
written on 1.25.17
i grew up playing life safe
never broke the rules
never crossed the line
filled the role where i belong
but my mom passed away suddenly
broke the lock and stole the key
couldn’t breathe and negative
gave up on everything
then i met you
following rules
where you can’t buy time
but i’d do anything
to be your greatest crime
chrous:
call me a thief
call me a criminal
’cause i’d do anything
to steal more time with you
give me a record
i’ll take her for any jail time
you can’t count life by the dollars
only the seconds i have with you
i’ll steal your darkest secrets
give you all i am
strip away your sadness
show you i’ll always give a damn

i know that i’m not crazy
but the hands on every clock
know when you’re not in my arms
maybe they’re dragging, as sad as i am
’cause they turn so much slower when you’re away
a game and speed up like my heart when they see you
i know what i was before you
emptiness and a soul in pain
but the first time i held your hand
a fire ignited, nothing will ever be the same
and i’m not sure how to thank you
every day with words that you’re beautiful
but that’s not even half of it
’cause you’re my angel that brought me back to life
so this is just a short note
words of admiration
just for being you
’cause my life is so infinitely brighter
all because of you
the sun’s rays just feel so much warmer
your kiss just tastes so much sweeter
the stars shine so much brighter
with my arms wrapped around you
this life is just a fairytale
all because of you
i have everything in life
every single thing when i’m with you

“prism in tumult”
written on 9.28.16
i live somewhere in between
between lips exhaling hope
and eyes that may or may not
be able to distinguish dreams from reality
a beautiful obscurity both graceful and confusing
chorus:
i see the salvation of a smile
with the heartache of falling short
the promise of the future
with the pain of not adding up
the glow from the castle
promise, hope within
but walls that keep me out
the view of a lifetime
the doubts of getting in
the stillness of my head on her chest
the pressure of life weighing down
the joy of my arms around her
while the bills are piling up
she’s a prism in a tumultuous sky
and i can’t say that i’m unhappy
i just want to give her better
i just want to make the world better
the beauty of a rose
without the pain of the thorns
i’m smart enough to know
life is about the give and take
i’d be happy to trade in the beauty and the fortune
for an eternity with you

“Bleeding to Blue Sky”
written on 8.13.16
my heart bleeding nothing but gasoline
running on fumes, cylinders skipping
falling behind on all my hopes and dreams
frustration and doubt darkening a promising sky
you burn brighter than a match
your smile, your charm
set ablaze the vapors in my veins
igniting my heart strings
shooting fire through me
chorus:
we never even smoldered
our love just engulfed all the pain
and with my arms wrapped tight around you
our hopes dance along the flames
you burn brighter than the night sky
i breathe in the faith you give me
exhale our dreams and aspirations
the whitest clouds fill up the blue sky

this is the ultimate descent
my tumble downward
skin tear to split open my core
broken bones reveal my soul
and now i know my heart will bleed out
as my questions are a scalpel
slicing the sutures of my doubts
that prevented me from coming unglued
we both tumbled off that cliff
skin abrasions and bruised hearts
grasping for withering rope
a relationship in distress
and now i’m in the fallout
with your hand reaching out to me
but i fear the repetition
maybe i should pull myself out alone?
in the traumatic daze i feel confused
to rewind the film or start brand new
a broken past i know is true
or a future to fight through
in my dreams i see your smile
in my nightmares i see our plight
a guilt for letting go
a need for my optimism and dreams return

“the emptiness without you”
completed on 5.19.16
this world can be so empty
filling trash bags with material things
always grasping for the next rung
an endless maze with no way out
you can chase the things that leave you hostage
get trapped in a hopeless daydream
a false belief in everything
an emptiness ’cause you can’t find peace
but if you ever dust yourself for prints
you’d find mine all over your heart
from holding up your soul and dreams
’cause all i’ll ever want is the best for your life
i’ll never be in the spotlight
the only thing that flashes is my smile
i only hope to be your mason
to help build your foundation up
and when the rain and hail fall down
i’ll shield you and keep you warm
our flame will light up this town
give you faith from any breakdown
i’ll wipe away all your tears
save you from life’s fears
give you all my years
’cause all i’ve ever wanted is what’s best for you

“all that gleams”
completed on 5.7.16
this life is full of demons
some are choices
some are acquaintances wrong for you
sometimes lessons learned the hard way
shape a life not so easy
you can take the easy route
settle with the fear and doubt
set a match to all that gleams
or scratch and claw ’til you reach your dreams
and i’ve felt the despair of goals outrunning me
out of breath from passions eluding me
slowly i dragged myself from the starless nights
and reached for the light i saw in you
fighting for you was a journey
the ups and downs of helping you believe
wearing my heart on my sleeve
to show you all you can achieve
what i sought in you was the ladder
to climb out of my abyss
you saved me without knowing
i’ll pull the sun towards both of us
to keep the light over our lives
