Lyrics for CLOSER:
Signs warn me of danger
Dawn wakes me with hunger
Rain plagues me with fever
You remain my sustenance
I always find some patience
‘Cause you face brings me deliverance
Oh heaven, oh this hell
My heart’s prison cell
You…oh, you
I may be a fool, but I am closer than you’ll ever be to real
I know I make mistakes…
I feel love, I know you never will
Tell me why I’m here, tell me why I’m waiting
When the answer’s always clear
It’s not that you don’t want me, it’s just that you don’t need me…
Until I disappear
In struggle you abandon
In triumph you forget
Reject. Justify. Minimize.
And yet I act surprised
I never get used to all the abuse
I only see the best in you…
Just not the rest of you
I may be a fool, but I am closer than you’ll ever be to real
I know I make mistakes…
I feel love, I know you never will
Tell me why I’m here, tell me why I’m waiting
When the answer’s always clear
It’s not that you don’t want me, it’s just that you don’t need me…
Until I disappear
The pain of exhaling you from my brain…
Is far less than the pain of living with you
Drunken with shame, this drug with no name
My inability to dismiss you
Where is my judgment?
Where is my head?
You created a world inside me where love is dead
It’s time that I got you out of my brain
I’m cashing out of this losing game
Every day is a new day in all aspects of life. Sometimes we may get lost or falter, but that is where wisdom is derived. Have a seat, press play and let’s see where this trip takes us.
Music has always been a very important part of my life from the very beginning. Even before I can remember, I was singing songs and melodies for family, friends and anyone who would listen. This passion only grew through childhood and presented the opportunity to join the Seattle Children’s Chorus and the highly esteemed Seattle Chamber Choir. At ten, I made my “star debut” when I sang the national anthem in front of 17,000 people at a Seattle Supersonics game. I remembered the words!
With age, my love of music and song writing continued to grow. Performing with local bands or as a solo act came naturally. Not allowing one city to be my home, I decided to study at Berklee in Boston in hopes of taking my talents to a new artistic level and experience rebirth as an artist. Now my time is filled with my passion, traveling between Boston and Seattle writing, recording and mixing my experiences in what you hear.
Music is the soundscape of our lives that encompasses an unlimited range of emotions and issues. In this, art is the blessing of creating or recapturing an emotion or memory. It is indescribable to portray this gift and at times difficult to accept. My wish is to create music that is universal- to be shared as a keepsake for the journey we all face on the road ahead.
