Lately I’ve been thinking about you And how you came into my life I was so blue You thought that I could save you But I’m the one who made out fine All because of you I’ll never be the same You wanted a friend to talk to And share…

Lately it seems, I don’t know what I’m living for Occasionally, I feel so unsure And I know this world holds so much more Seems to me, don’t know who I am any more I don’t really know what I stand for But I’ve been held down for too long…

The only way to decide this bet Is having you concede your place to me Even though you’ve met your fate You didn’t come to play the game for free Well, there’s a limit, and you’ll find You’re not gonna win it, every time You won’t believe…

BEDROOM AND A BATH At the end of the hall is a bedroom and a bath A place he never goes Way back there, buried in the past but she'll never know When the kids moved out he took one of their rooms He made the bed Closed the shade…

This song is about a character a friend I made up called Anna Onion after joking about Sam the Onion Man from the movie Holes. RPM Challenge 2021!

Recently I kind of remembered what it was like to be young and on the verge of an apocalypse. I apologize to Patty Smith, but I did.

The Echochamber ------------------------------- I'm not what you see in me your enemy I don't want to be I don't want to be words lost their meaning I cannot reach you anymore you're stuck and now we can't even talk repeat…

Just a delicate little instrumental. Took my time getting it right, because, well, there was nowhere to be that day. Or any day after that. Or any day after that...

Looking at your resume, one key takeaway is there ain’t a single thing you know Comparing the candidates I gotta say candidly there ain’t no place you can go So we make an offer of a minimum salary What do you think of it? Does this make you…

The 5th addition for my RPM Challenge 2021. Another experimental track as I play with different beats and musical textures. Half-way point!
