Curled up under the covers
Our bodies laid across the bed
Your arms around my waist
The sun rising with beautiful grace

My eyes begin to open, daylight blinding
I remember that I'm actually alone

I'm Alone
I'm Alone

I scream your name at night
While I begged for mercy with you
There was a part I couldn't get enough of too
That constant push and pull
The never ending nightmare unknown
It's time for me to start letting go
I have to let you go
Let you go

Brand new baby, brand new life
You and me, against the world,
Hand held tight in the night, promises made
This beautiful picture that will never fade

But I see the texts of cheating on your phone
And I know I'm going to be alone

I'm Alone

I'm Alone

I scream your name at night
While I begged for mercy with you
There was a part I couldn't get enough of too
That constant push and pull
The never ending nightmare unknown
It's time for me to start letting go
I have to let you go
Let you go

We split but you still control me
it's 3AM and your screaming at me
Left one week before Valentine's day
It took another 8 years for em to set boundaries
There are so many things I wanted to say
But I guess I already knew I was going to be alone

I'm Alone

I'm Alone


I scream your name at night
While I begged for mercy with you
There was a part I couldn't get enough of too
That constant push and pull
The never ending nightmare unknown
It's time for me to start letting go
I have to let go

I have to let go

I have to let you go

Letting Go

Two souls Park bench, small river
Your eyes glow, to me, the giver
Wind blown hair, Without one care
And now we ponder what to do

Two souls that wondered through the night
Lost and needed to be set free
Their spirits bound and tight
Ready to surrender,
Ready to cross the forbidden sea

Unknown pillars to this new world
Rules set in place, silently observed
Scared of this new unknown
It’s the only way to see ourselves grown

Two souls that wondered through the night
Lost and needed to be set free
Their spirits bound and tight
Ready to surrender,
Ready to cross the forbidden sea

The darkness to the new
Or the light to stay the same
Risk losing all the pain
Or stay and be disregarded

Two souls that wondered through the night
Lost and needed to be set free
Their spirits bound and tight
Ready to surrender,
Ready to cross the forbidden sea

These two souls
Crossed the bridge
And it’s time to say
The final goodbye

Two Souls

Time slips away over the days
But time has never stayed
Staring into the blank abyss
Waiting for the judgement to come
I have to make my way back home

Lost in my mind
No sanity to save me here
Soul encompassing the known fears
Feeling left behind
Feeling removed from the rest of mankind
Let me live in my Nothing

Blank looks at my screen
Hopes and dreams left unseen
Nightmares emerging to consume my hours
Making my anxiety shatter my life towers
Is there anyone down there to save me?

Lost in my mind
No sanity to save me here
Soul encompassing the known fears
Feeling left behind
Feeling removed from the rest of mankind
Let me live in my Nothing

The ruble from my shattered world
My wants hurled
Into the darkness will consume me
I can’t see my light anymore
So I’ll surrender my fight to my Nothing

I’m so lost in my mind
No sanity, no sanity to save me here
My Soul encompassing my known, known fears
I was left behind, abandoned
I’m removed from the rest of mankind
Let me live in my Nothing

(my nothing)
(My nothing)

My Nothing

My Nothing

I’m ready for the battle
Shield and armor on
Surrounded by my castle walls
Strong and tall
It’s starting to crumble and fall
The enemy has come to invade

Stepped into war, scars for shields
My castle gone in a day, only fields
My protection unveiled and useless
Opponents have won my towers
Nightmares escaping into the night
Scared, but the fight is mine, hear my battle cry

Shots are fired into the blackness
The night sky bright with lost souls
There are no common goals
Only destruction of one another’s hope
Nothing left to help each other cope
The only thing winning tonight is madness

Stepped into war, scars for shields
My castle gone in a day, only fields
My protection unveiled and useless
Opponents have won my towers
Nightmares escaping into the night
Scared, but the fight is mine, hear my battle cry

Trying to control me after all these years
And through it all, it’s my dried tears
My begging for mercy on my soul
That really left it’s toll, with everything it stole
And the last barrier of protection is leaving
It left me on the floor, weeping for more

Stepped into war, scars for shields
My castle gone in a day, only fields left
My protection unveiled and useless
You’re winning my towers, my safety
Nightmares escaping into the night
Scared, left alone with my tears
The fight will be mine, hear my Battle Cry

(Battle Cries)

(Battle Cries)

Battle Cry

Rules meant to be tested
Roads meant to be traveled
My heart I gave to you, a token
But when the world shatters, when tears fall
My soul is left to be broken

You’re who you’re meant to be
And I’ll never get to be your primary
Sitting back, watching you two soar
While I get left behind, simply secondary

Heart beats through our bodies
Mine to yours and hand in hand
Laying next to each other
Snuggles into one another
But I know when she calls
I’m nothing more
And my heart is left to shatter

You’re who you’re meant to be
And I’ll never get to be your primary
Sitting back, watching you two soar
While I get left behind, simply secondary

I need you to pick me up
Throw me away
But I can’t live like this day after day
Heart throbbing, my pulse dropping
I guess I know what you’re going to say

You’re who you’re meant to be
And I’ll never get to be your primary
Sitting back and watching you two soar
While I get left behind, simply secondary

My place in this world, left behind
As simply secondary

Simply Secondary

Turn that music up
Dry those unnecessary tears
You’ve got to pick yourself back up
The judgement isn’t about to stop
Wear that crown so proud

When you feel unheard
Scream your truths to the heaven
Take that mask off
And show the world who you are
Stand tall, fight hard, make your mark

Walk through that hateful crowd
Head held high, eyes wide
Don’t let yourself get pulled into the unnecessary tide
You’ve got to be strong
Where’s that crown? To be worn so proud

When you feel unheard
Scream your truths to the heaven
Take that mask off
And show the world who you are
Stand tall, fight hard, make your mark

Bridge
Crawling on the ground, fight broken
All you want is or someone to give you mercy
You can’t unhear their words
You can’t undo your own faults
Stand back up, armor on
Straighten up, and wear that crown so proud

When you feel unheard
Scream your truths to the heaven
Take that mask off
And show the world who you are
Scars and all
Stand tall, fight hard, make your mark

Make Your Mark

Verse 1

Remember the playground metal on your hands
Swinging back and forth like a monkey man
No cares in the world,
No pressure on your shoulders
No need to try and move life’s boulders

Chorus

(Grown up and sitting at a desk nine to five
Responsibilities and all you want is to feel alive
Pushing paper and making careless calls
Trying not to trip into one of life’s pitfalls
Just keep trying to stay afloat
It’s time to give yourself a grace note)

Remember that first date? Remember that first kiss?
So scary and then everything went to pure bliss
Showing your soul to the world
Money had no meaning and dreams were told

Chorus X2
(Grown up and sitting at a desk nine to five
Responsibilities and all you want is to feel alive
Pushing paper and making careless calls
Trying not to trip into one of life’s pitfalls
Just keep trying to stay afloat
It’s time to give yourself a grace note)

Fade out

Grace Note

Verse 1

Walking down the street
Holding your hand
Fingers clasped, breathing in the night sky
Dreaming of a happily ever after

Pre chorus

But when the "I Do's" come, are you ready?

But when the “I Do’s” come, are you ready?
Are you ready?

Chorus

Ready for the hateful words from those who don't understand?
Ready for the friends who will judge behind closed doors?
For the rumors to be spread and for the loneliest of souls to be felt?

Verse 2

Laying here next to you
a dream come true
Hope these nights they last forever with you
Arms around me, blankets so warm

Pre chorus

Dreaming of a family with you, are you ready?

Dreaming of a family with you, are you ready?
Are you ready?

Ready for the judgmental thoughts of how a family should be?
Ready for the hateful ideas from the close minded few?
For the rumors to spread and believed by the insecure too?

Bridge

I can't and won't do this without you
I don't want to try and do this alone
Let them stare, let them whisper, let them speak to the cracked doors


Pre chorus

Because the only thing I need in this world is you, are you ready?

The only thing I need is you, are you ready?

Are you ready?

Chorus
Ready to hold me in downtown daylight?
Ready to give kisses on the street?
To hold our hands up and speak too? Because I’m finally ready

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

Cause I’m ready

Ready

About Me

Bio

I grew up in a small town. I moved to Anchorage, AK in 2013 as a single parent. I enjoy writing songs about life and attempting to make stories out of music that are meaningful. While I have experienced many varieties of hardship, I have also overcome them. I believe it is important to share these experiences with the world, as my experiences with relationships and life are not unique. Many can relate and take wisdom from what I've experienced.
