Waiting 02:27
Every breath caught in my lungs Begs me to listen to my speeding pulse Every beat is crying out I choose to hear it finally now In my heart I feel Something close to dread And I don't know how To pull it from my head In my bones I know This is not my home I'm no longer waiting To find where I belong Every step has led to this The world beyond the precipice No leap of faith for in fact I'm already falling And if I keep going I'm not coming back In my heart I feel (Every breath) Something close to dread (Caught in my lungs) And I don't know how (Begs me to listen) To pull it from my head (To my speeding pulse) In my bones I know (No leap of faith) This is not my home (For in fact) I'm no longer waiting To find where I belong

Wasting Time 03:50
Spilling these words And verbs against a canvas Don't be absurd and disturbed Like I didn't plan this Feel like I'm repeating myself And everyone knows it And those who notice Won't dare oppose it Am I cursed To rehearse The same old verse? Doomed to a siren song Until I somehow get worse? Pick it up, or do I leave it? What do I believe in? Is this the life I wanna live in? Pre-chorus Don't say I never told you It's not like I didn't try If you listen It is written In every line Chorus: Am I defective? Or am I just infected? I wanna live, not die inside Wanna move on instead of wasting time I'm not forsaking, I'm keeping my heart from breaking I wanna overcome, not hide Wanna get up instead of wasting my time Verse 2: Pain can't be measured by counting lines The signs Are sometimes Hiding behind the lies I can smile, say I'm doing fine Bare my teeth like prison bars While my happiness is doing time I don't suppose you know what it feels like To take all your goals and throw em to the wayside When you look behind, in your hindsight They remind and find you unrealized Chorus: Am I defective? Or am I just infected? I wanna live, not die inside Wanna move on instead of wasting time I'm not forsaking, I'm keeping my heart from breaking I wanna overcome, not hide Wanna get up instead of wasting my time Bridge: My pendulum mood swings Count slowly down While I decay I want to get up Take a breath Do anything but waste away Chorus: Am I defective? Or am I just infected? I wanna live, not die inside Wanna move on instead of wasting time I'm not forsaking, I'm keeping my heart from breaking I wanna overcome, not hide Wanna get up instead of wasting my time

Artemis 03:47
Little lady Will you take me far away from this? Would you kindly Come remind me I'm an optimist Wishing on the stars Constellation of hearts Beating in the dark Got a bow, but you're not Cupid Hold it so, but you don't shoot it, oh Mighty Hunter You were once her inspiration's spark Frown and fight tears A thousand light-years lying, you went dark Quarries that you chased Stories that you placed Drifting through outer space Got a bow, but you're not Cupid Hold it so, but you don't shoot it, oh Artemis

Stargazers 03:01
Conversations from the heart My wandering mind among the stars When I didn't have the night sky You brought outer space inside We made our own galaxies and We bonded instantly Time's had its way on us But you'll always be a friend to me Pre-chorus: That lantern has burned out But you taught me to shine bright Chorus: In 10 long years Look how much I've changed Still baffling to me How much I've stayed the same Those nights I can't forget I keep them safely locked away Feels like a lifetime now I'm walking proof I’ve come a long way You said "come lay down with me We'll be stargazers in the street" I saw auroras in your voice Drowning out the never-ending noise We counted stars and sang our hearts out To the beautiful view That night, I'd never say it I think I fell in love with you Pre-chorus: Couldn't get you off my mind Even if I wanted to Chorus We made our own galaxies and We bonded instantly Time's had its way on us But you'll always be a friend to me We counted stars and sang our hearts out To the beautiful view That night, I'd never say it I think I fell in love with you That night, I'd never say it I think I fell in love with you

Get Up 02:10
The dark feels familiar tonight These shadows outnumber my friends This loneliness is how I make it They're the ones that I let in Get up off the floor Take a breath Do anything Don't just hold your tongue And let the pain Be crippling I can't move, I can't think, I can't speak Less afraid of what the silence will do to me Than if I voiced where the fear comes from So I cry until my heart goes numb Where did I think the dark would take me? How did I think this tale would end? Why do I love being self indulgent When I know that will never win? Check the vital signs Feel your pulse Still beating Telling you the pain Like the night Is fleeting Convinced no one wants to hear me Instead I make it harder than it has to be Tell myself no one wants me to stay So I let the shadows take me away Listen to yourself I don't want to go Listen to yourself I don't want to go Say it like you mean it I don't want to go! Make me believe it I don't want to go!

Let Go 04:20
Here in solitude and restlessness I sink in sorrow in the night Tried to separate the sickness But something's still not right Who am I and who has sent me? I keep asking in my head Questions of heart versus soul Or am I just dead? I imagine I could push the pedal to the floor And let go Trapped in shadow and sleeplessness I can't escape if I try Like a bird drenched in oil I no longer can fly Deep in my imagination I take comfort in the pain I visualize red release And I feel no shame I wish I could fall asleep To never awake again I imagine I could push the pedal to the floor And let it all go But there's something that would bind me Set its hooks inside my skin Something greater than myself That would prove that I'm not worthless But I wish I could let it all Go

Shards 04:26
Losing the pieces of me I give away with every "please" I bow to what you think I need Despite how much I'm breaking And I don't think I can Be someone I can stand Giving in to your demands For your promised land I won't turn my eyes from the glaring truth I'm not living blind to thoughtless abuse Don't think I've caught on But I'm proving you wrong And what you kept hidden, I finally see Right through this prison you built for me Is this what you wanted? To keep my on my guard, and I don't remember how to trust effortlessly like I used to I'm tired of giving myself up Don't know who I am, but I won't be you Losing the pieces of me I hear the fragments crack beneath These desperate, demanding feet It's not so simple, I don't think I can ever be whole again But maybe with these shards I can Build a life worth living in A haven Never had to go on my own But I've gotta suffer to become strong I'll fight through these fears And make up for wasted years You said you're righteous, that I'd be free But that was the lie just to capture me Is this what you wanted? I'm forever haunted And I don't remember how to trust effortlessly like I used to I'm tired of giving myself up Don't know who I am, but I won't be you

Excuses 02:43
I get stuck in memories of when you made me feel small Some days I don’t feel like I’ve grown at all Looking back at the last few years, it’s like I fell asleep And forgot how to wake myself from this twisted dream I remember your eyes In that moment Like a firebrand, burned in my mind I was Too young to see what you were doing was abusive You said you loved me, so I made excuses Can't say when you cross the line You play the victim every time Surprise, now I've found my spine Stay in your place while I find mine Now I have this unconscious obsession I’m drawn to others like you cause I crave your affection Somehow I always let them in, trick myself into thinking That if they love me like you didn’t, you’d get some redemption So I put my heart in the hands of those Who wanna cut me into pieces, force me in a mold And I know I know I should ask for more, I know I’m worth it But I don’t demand better cause I believe I don’t deserve it Can't say when you cross the line You play the victim every time Surprise, now I've found my spine Stay in your place while I find mine In this life, you only get one shot and Sometimes it’s better to leave behind what’s best left forgotten And I know there will be days I can’t get up when I fall But even if I can’t run, you best believe I’m gonna crawl Because I’m breathing These lungs have made it this far taking in oxygen Even if my heart is shattered like glass, reflecting my past It’s the perfect mirror because I’m a bigger person than the girl I was

Restless 03:56
Verse 1 I'm wide awake, couldn't get sleep if I tried I'd count sheep, but they all run and hide The dark is no longer a friend of mine Now I'm lonely in the night Chorus When you're on my mind, I'm nothing but restless Watch as I unwind, you've left me helpless Hourglass of my own design Ticking away my precious time Cause when you're on my mind I'm nothing but restless Verse 2 I toss and turn, insomnia my curse The lonely ache in my bones growing worse Even if I keep my eyes shut tight There's no getting sleep tonight Chorus See how I'm smitten even though You will never loose an arrow I follow you through the night sky You put constellations in their place Make me obsess over the chase Captivate me in my mind
10.
Rope 04:14
Verse 1: Sending out your rope Like you think that it's a lifeline But it's a high wire Watch me walk across Eager not to fall, you catch me But not to save me (Let me go) I can feel you pull me down (Let me go) I'm calling out Chorus: Can you hear me? And will you listen? Can you sympathize with what I'm missin? And will you let me go If I can't breathe under your hold Do you think I won't escape If you keep me locked away? Verse 2: Tie me on your leash Like I just need to be controlled But it's the gallows Don't you feel me choke? With your love around my neck Such a lovely death (Let me go) I can feel you pull it tight (Let me go) But still I cry Chorus You can't ignore My desperate screams anymore Know that my voice Will be the noise Keeping you up at night Until you decide Can you hear me? Do you want me to die?
11.
Desperate 02:09
You're reaching for the door And pray to God he'll open the chance To leave your life behind For somewhere far away from all of this Because behind your mask You're desperate for love And sometimes it's not the kind That they are thinking of It's a choice between misery Or chasing happiness So hold your head up high Because you deserve this You've been holding back Locked away everything you felt But this life is yours And now it's time to live it for yourself Because behind your mask You're desperate for love And sometimes it's not the kind That they are thinking of It's a choice between misery Or chasing happiness So hold your head up high Because you deserve this

about

I had intended to release this album in the summer of 2020, but obviously, there were many delays due to the pandemic.

"Decades" is a collection of songs I had started over the years but never had the motivation to finish until last year. Now, they chronicle the last 10 years of my life in musical form as a concept album, conveying some of the most difficult emotions I faced throughout that time up until now. I am incredibly proud of the songs on this album. Each one of them challenged me in different ways and demanded that I try new approaches and learn new methods in order to bring out the best aspects of each piece.
