about

(The first person I made songs that were actually good with was Matt Monroe, when we were in college. Since then our friendship has blossomed beautifully. We are very similar creatures in many ways and have been able to help each other through many of life's passages. During the recording of this album, Matt has been particularly helpful to me. Matt is a professional counselor and soul fam. Matt is also an amazing producer and gave me this beat to be a part of the album, and instantly it felt like the musical equivalent to what my heart was feeling at the time.)

lyrics

So I had my breakdown
And Now is the rebuild
And I still feel afraid
At my age
To turn the page
I was drunk on pain
Crazy and insane
But now I’m getting sober
Don’t really know what’s
On the road before me
Just know I need to let go
Of that old story
No more late nights
In heartache and shame to lay awake
And think about mistakes
I made that I cannot change
Still if I could
Go back to yesterday
I know I would
Before communication
Got misunderstood
Til I peered through the rearview
And in the echoes of my conscious
Yo I finally hear you
So I wonder if you hear me
Say I’m sorry and I forgive you
Cuz I still love you
So I say Thank You
Thought you’d be my wife
But you taught me about myself
As a consolation prize
Now I got so much love
That I got to give
Time to ask myself
What type of life do I
Want to live
Yo that is a lesson
And a lesson is a blessing
So I can get it right
The next time be the message
So no more stressing over
Questions of direction
Cuzzzz I will live my answers
When I live my life authentic…

I finally see it clear
I can look in the mirror
Realize I deserve
Some of that love
I like to give others
See my heart was sacrificed
2 the martyr archetype
On a narcissistic ride
That left me high and dry
Empty and low
My heart so sore
But when the time comes
To fall back in love
I’ma do it like I never been hurt before
Yo I’m like a puppy dog
I am fun and I’m cute
Still might chew through your slippers
So please forgive me
I’m not a perfect man
But I’m doing the best
That I can
And if you give me enough tries
In time I will understand.
