For Now

Sometimes we need a shoulder to lean on and the chance to pour out our hearts.

Yes the drums are fake, and yes, I know they're cheesy.

For Now

I think it's my turn to speak now
It feels like it should be so
You've had my shoulder for so long
Pouring out your hurts and woes

The tear stains are simple
The cuts so plain to see
You let me through your callous wall
And witness the tender heart beneath

Midnight came creeping slyly down the way
You're only comfortable in the things that never change
Darkness keeps crawling into your room
The only comfort you find in your empty tomb

For now, only for now
Keep on releasing
For now, only for now
Until you've drained every drop of pain
For now, only for now
Keep on releasing
For now, only for now
Keep on releasing

Fearsome words, the brutalist weapon
Cut down every ounce of self-esteem
When rubble and ruins are all that's left standing
I want you to know it's not too much, too much to mend

For now, only for now
Keep on releasing
For now, only for now
Until you've drained every drop of pain
For now, only for now
Keep on releasing
For now, only for now
Keep on releasing

New Song: Can't Stop Hoping

I am a closet hopeless romantic.  Maybe not so much in the closet since lately the majority of my songs revolve around the theme of unrequited, loss of, or the unending search of love.  My lyrics are typically so sappy you could soak a large stack of hot cakes in them.  "Can't Stop Hoping" is yet another perfect example.

Can't Stop Hoping


Oh, you invade my mind
You do it all the time
The thoughts of holding you run through my head
But you never give me the sign

Oh, you eat through my soul
Is this the way it's supposed to go
I'm losing grip on everything I've known
And I can't help but just to let go
Yes, you eat into my soul

And I can't stop hoping, I can't stop hoping
I can't stop hoping for you
'Cause the thing I know is that if I stop hoping
This dream may never come true

I'm reaching out in vain
I know it must sound like I'm so insane
But if you give me just one sweet grin
Then I promise I won't complain again

I'm on a fatal trip
I'm slipping away like a sinking ship
But I know you can come and rescue me
Just with one word from your lips

I've waited a lifetime to hear that you're all mine
To hear that you're all mine, I've waited a lifetime
