I'm just another year older, but I don't feel wise This head on my shoulders won't match up to size I only have one shot left to do this right I'm just another year older, hold on tight

Bad News 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Would I be a liar if I said I trust her I tried to keep an open mind But I'm filled with gut feelings, my inside are reeling How could you be so blind You're only seeing what you wanna see And I'm begging you to think before you choose I know it's up to you And I'm not one to judge But she's screaming.... Bad news She plays the part around you, claiming that she's found you You're different than the other guys But why don't you believe it's not in her to deceive We see it burning in her eyes I hate to be the one to tell you But everything she's done, she's gonna do it all again I know you think you're different And I'm not one to judge But she's screaming.... Bad news The way she went behind my back The way she thought that I would crack, but I won't now How can you live with that She tries to justify her ways But the truth will come out anyway What makes you think she won't do it to you one day I'm not one to judge....... But she's screaming...... Bad news

Superman 04:18
lyrics
buy track
You know you're a jerk sometimes, but it's all for show Superman persona hiding all they'll never know You're lying awake at night counting all that's wrong And hoping if you laugh it off the world will play along But you don't see that you never fooled me Misrepresented, misunderstood A million things you'd change if you only knew you could But if you change one thing, all I ask you do Is love yourself a little more from a higher point of view 'Cause you don't see that you're perfect to me Open up and you'll find You were never alone even after all this time You are only a prisoner of your own mind And through the pain and pressure I still see the glimmer in your eye That lets me know you're gonna be alright You're living it up in your outer shell Hiding from the barriers that claim your inner Hell Even all the highs learn to level out Running from the demons you still know nothing about But how can you fight when you don't know the enemy Swallow the pills to get over the hills Desperate to feel anything besides what you felt When you were just a kid Too young to understand But old enough to know that we're all full of shit Open up and you'll find You were never alone even after all this time You are only a prisoner of your own mind And through the pain and pressure I still see the glimmer in your eye That lets me know you're gonna be alright Light another cigarette so life can go by quicker Every day spent in New Hampshire will only make you stale and sicker You wanna see the world but it's killing me to know Even among a million people you'll still feel alone You know you're a jerk sometimes, but it's all for show Superman persona hiding all they'll never know But if you change one thing, all I ask you do Is love yourself a little more from a higher point of view I just wish I knew how to get through to you I've seen what's underneath, you're still perfect to me

The Blame Game 03:45
lyrics
buy track
So many things to say forever locked away Inside this human cage drowning in my rage It's bleeding through my soul, the sorrow takes its toll It chills me to the bone, this war is not my own One more sleepless night, one more lifeless lie One more tear I cry, one more fear I deny Still I try to believe you'll come back for me It's just a waste of time, this consequence is mine (Chorus) And who was I to think The easy way out wouldn't destroy everything And who was I to be selfish enough to believe There was no choice to make when my whole world was at stake There is nothing left for me to show I have lost the right to not let go Buried under silence, three years of defiance Failure of reliance clouding my horizon My heart is testifying, desperately justifying All you put me through, I hope it was worth it for you (Chorus) x2

Vulnerable 04:02
lyrics
buy track
(Chorus) If you think you're gonna get your way Well baby you better kiss me goodbye That's not the girl I wanna be And I don't want your kind of guy So now that it's all said and done You better find some other girl Who's vulnerable enough to fall in love with you You made me believe you cared about me Thought we were going somewhere Well once again I'm back to nowhere It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize You never really cared about me after all this time Chorus You put me through Hell and you knew all too well I really thought you loved me Then you went and made a fool out of me And I always swore I'd never date a guy like you But look at me, I'm so naive Boy you had me falling for you Chorus You used me, abused me Molded me to your liking then refused me I cried for you, did everything for you Fell into this big black hole all for you, only for you Just to make you happy Look where it's gotten me Chorus If you think I'm gonna pine for you Baby you better get a clue I promised myself a while ago That's one thing I won't ever do So now that you're gone and I'm moving on And you're hunting down some other girl I bet she's vulnerable enough to fall in love with you

end of an era. (feat. Kristian Veech) 01:27
lyrics
buy track
It's the end of an era but we've come so far We've grown to be wiser with a change of heart Old rainbows are fading but we're still in the sun I made you a promise to move forward as one We'll look to the bright side through all the pain We'll take dedication to the brink of insane 'Cause now we're inspired like never before We'll fight for tomorrow but believe in more It's the end of an era, a new story begins I'm not who I once was, but you'll see me again

I'll Be Back 03:35
lyrics
buy track
I try to find reasons why You fell from the sky to leave me behind I walk through my mind, remember the times I stood by your side But now I'm all alone and I'm singing like woah..... Move forward now, wonder how Peace will be found without you around Things have changed, circumstances rearranged But I'll be back one day And little do you know I'll be singing like woah..... I'll be alright, I'm still gonna write These songs will bring me to life And you can come for the ride if you like The offer will never die Some bridges will never burn Hold on to hope for lessons learned Love never fades There's never a time or place For this to be okay But I'll be back one day

about

Kristian Veech started helping me work on some new music of mine, when I found out I'd be having the opportunity to work with a producer who has worked with some A-list singer/songwriters. We didn't want his work to go to waste, so here's Prologue. It's just the beginning.
