“Lifeline (always you Aubree)”
completed on 7.10.24

​i’ll keep looking for flowers 
if you keep your eyes on the clouds
i’ll always help you reach for the stars
if only to show you this life’s beauty

​i’ll do anything to help you
it’s easy to explain why
’cause this life is darker when you’re away
the sun ​fades behind the clouds without you

that smile ​that lights up my face
is always harder to find without you
and the second hand ​always slows
whenever​ i’m not with you

​not sure when i can say this
but i hate every second without you 
’cause ​i dream up clever distractions 
but they ​never come close to you

​’cause ​my future’s always brighter 
on days I spend with you
memories on my phone ​will​ never do
you are the only thing that’s true

​and I’ll keep treading water 
i’ll be the boat to keep you afloat 
since you, I no longer need 
anything ​else supporting me

​even when the ground ahead​’s shaking
i’ll always be your guide
always be by your side
so you’ll never feel alone

“Mirrors (reflections pt. 1)”
completed on 4.25.24


i stare blAnkly through every mirror
’cause i can’t see the trUth anymore
eyes lost in the cracks and imperfections
until i can’t help but Believe what i see

the teaRs running down my face
are the only thing rEminding me i’m alive
’cause nothing’s worse than feeling numb
so i’ll let my Emotions keep cutting me apart


they say don’t believe everything You see
but it’s harder to dOubt when yoU never hear
Anyone speak up defending me
stuck with the noise inside my head


BRIDGE
CHORUS

i used to Rely on mirrors to help them see
but that’s skin-deEp so no one ever sees
what truly matters to Me
like the things that help me feel free


Just know, mirrors don’t always reflect the truth
when you lose your faith and only feel doubt
trust the light you see in my eyes
’cause the flame when i see you’ll never wane

BRIDGE
all i could see was shattered glass
until You saved me from my past


CHORUS
it took your love to remind me
smoke & mirrors only reflect the past
you make my cracks and imperfections
refract the most stunning LIGHT
