Fan/Friend Favorite! Falling Slowly lyrics

Heres lyrics to one of my friends favorite songs I've written, falling slowly.

Outstretched hands are calling
Voices rage in silence
She takes the blade and he takes the bow
And their falling slowly

This hopeless feeling
Is soaked and drowning
This tortured soul with nowhere to go
Is falling slowly

There’s nowhere to go but down
Nowhere to go but down
Falling slowly
There’s nowhere to go but down

Darkness all surrounding
Like a blanket oh so calming
But struggling to breath, this life inside of me
Is falling slowly

So shatter these bones
From 6 feet below
Shatter these bones
And resurrect me home

Falling slowly
There’s nowhere to go but down

working on this new song, Sometimes


Hey guys! Sorry its been awhile. I've been working on this new song, still tweaking some things but let me know what you think!

Sometimes I love you and sometimes I don’t
Sometimes I hug you and sometimes I wont
Sometimes I want to and sometimes I don’t

Sometimes I see us together, then I don’t
Sometimes I wish I could leave you, but I won’t
Sometimes I think, and sometimes I don’t

And I need you to know that I’m not that comfortable
I need you to see I have these doubts
And theres nothing you can do, I realize you never even knew
but I’m uncomfortable being here with you

sometimes I wish I could change you, into what I want
sometimes I think I never loved you, maybe thats what you want
sometimes I think thats what you want

sometimes I pick up the pieces, you left behind
sometimes I leave them for ransom, but dont know why
sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry

So can you see this white flag im puttin up
surrendering to all this weighting doubt
can you see im scared of where we’ll end up
sometimes I'm scared of us

New song DREAM ON

Check out DREAM ON on the mp3 player at the bottom of the page!

When your runnin out to money just to pay the bills
Aiint no gas in your automobile
Yeah its hard to make it through the day
Yeah their gonna judge, and their gonna stare
So you might as well get use to ignorin the glares
Yeah its fine, it aint their life its mine

So take my hand cause times are hard
But theres a light at the end of the dark
We can have hope to get through the day
So take my hand and close your eyes
This world can’t take us by surprise
Cause we’ve got more than this to live for

Times are hard and we’re getting weak, but we’ve got something they can’t see
If we hold hands, side by side, we can get through anything
cause I know our love is strong, and our hope is never gone,
so stay close and we'll pull each other along

Dream on, don't let the little things keep you from getting off the ground
dream on, let your wings fly their course and show you the way home

New Audio Uploaded!

Hey guys! I just uploaded a rough audio take of you and me against the world from my last post. Listen to it at the bottom of your page!! More to come soon!

You and me against the world

Fresh off the presses! just wrote this song two days ago, still working out some kinks but heres what I have so far. As always, audio hopefully coming soon :)

I wish you could see
how good we could be
and I wish you could believe
in you and me against the world

I wish I could show
how I feel about you
and I wish you could know
but life's not that simple

theres a bridge that were about to cross
theres a choice that lies ahead, with a whole lot to be lost
theres a page, a beginning or an end
with two ways this could go, you either love me or you don't

I need you to know
that I can't wait forever
and someday I'm gonna leave
and there you'll be without me

I don't want you to see
his arms wraped up around mine
oh and realize that I wont leave
and someone like me, you'll never find

so make up your mind
Cause I can't be yours if your not only mine
oh now is our time
its you and me against the world, or its just I

I wish you could see
how good we could be
and I wish you could believe
in you and me against the world

I wrote a story to the world...


I wrote a story to the world
then watched it burn to ashes
I sought to leave my mark
but made very little effort
I sought every right decision
but felt more when I fell
Of myself, I gave you nothing
of myself, I took it all

I let the silence bind me
no fight was worth the voice
I pray your fate my child
might be heard despite the noise
I long for peace and comfort
but here my soul stands weak
Of strength, I gave you nothing
of strength, I took a knee

I envy you my daughter
the wings you sprout are strong
I pray you know these tears
are not at all your fault
I took your sword my son
and hid it from your strength
I left you emptyhanded
and yet you brave the day

But, I write to you again today
in hopes this time be different
I speak with honest lips and words
and pray you'll get the message
I am without a shred of proof
there is nothing I can offer you
of hope, I fall and waiver
of hope, I plead for you

I wrote a story to the world
then watched it burn to ashes
I swear that I had hopeful dreams
but let them all be severed
I took you as a criminal
and there I let you stay
of hope, I gave you nothing
of hope, I took your day

Everything

Creative juices are at work! Worked on three new songs tonight that I can't wait to share with you! In the mean time heres lyrics to one of the newer worship songs I've been working on called everything. Hopefully some audio to come soon!

When everything isn't as it seems
my heart’s still weighed down, breaking all around
when everything is gone away
there’s nothing left for me to say

but Jesus please, Jesus please

let me see your face, for just a moment
let me breathe your name, for just a moment
let your grace overflow, my cup overwhelmed,
let your spirit burst, and guide us towards you
with your arms stretched wide, our hearts adore you
let your grace overflow, my cup overwhelmed with you

when everything pulls my heart away
my mind is so weak, my soul fatigued
when everything clouds my view
and my eyes are blind to you

Jesus please, Jesus please

let me see your face, for just a moment
let me breathe your name, for just a moment
let your grace overflow, my cup overwhelmed,
let your spirit burst, and guide us towards you
with your arms stretched wide, our hearts adore you
let your grace overflow, my cup overwhelmed with you

Jesus please, Jesus please

so take it all away, all these idols I have made
take em all away from me
all this hurt and all this pain, your blood washes it away
wash it all away from me

Spoken Word PLUS Audio

So heres my first spoken word endeavor and my first audio! You can LISTEN to the mp3 using the media player on the bottom of your page. Enjoy!

Its never been about me
And all the things I did so you could see me
Now I’m wishing God I could take it all back
God of Glory, there’s so much I lack

Cause Its always been about you
All the things that you can do
That I’ve seen you do
Your glory it overwhelms this sinners plea
Your love is unimaginable to me

The gift you gave I left here in dust
While my heart and mind, gave in to constant lust
I ran so far and hid behind the trees
Cause this sin I knew I had, I knew that you could see in me

The blood you shed, I betrayed
I elevated only my name
I couldn’t see anything but the stage
It called my name louder than yours
you said listen for the whisper child
But Father forgive me I listened for the storm

This world we take as our own
Leaves us empty and leaves us alone
Leaves us hurried, busy, and feared
Walking down the streets of mirrors
Fear in their eyes I see it clear
Cause I’m just as desperate, and I’m just as scared
But death bled out with the blood of His son
My God beat the devil, the battle He won

Therefore this world it is not my own
I live here but this is not my home
Cause my heart is far from the storm
He has raised me up, God the Father is strong
But this world can’t take my joy, it can’t take my fear
His spirit lives in here, in my heart He resides
His glory, grace, salvation, has changed my life

I refuse to live my life alone
I want you God on this throne
Cause only you can make me clean
Only you forgive and you redeem

And God I will never be the same,
Cause no longer is it all about my name
I pray I never forget that’s about you
And dear God forgive me for when I do

Song lyrics and more coming soon!!

Hey guys! Thanks for checking out my new blog. I will have lots of content coming up soon, including some audio recordings of my songs! Heres lyrics of a song I wrote this past year called Until we know, its words inspired the title of my blog, memoirs of the masquerade. Comment and let me know what you think!!

My tongue is red from all the lies
My lips are blue from being numb to you
And I don’t know where it all began
But I know its got to end, I know its got to end

So lets talk, talk, talk it out for hours
Until the sunlight goes
Lets walk, walk, walk it out together
Until I know, until you know
 What is real

My legs aren’t moving, from shock and awe
How did we fall so far out of love
I swear I never thought Id see the day
When my legs would walk, walk away

So lets talk, talk, talk it out for hours
Until the sunlight goes
Lets walk, walk, walk it out together
Until I know, until you know
 What is real

So cry it out all this pain and doubt
But I can’t see another way
We’ll scream and shout, for some kind of help
But I think it ends today

Its time to stop the masquerade
And lay our masks in the grave
Its time to bury sins of old
And leave the burdens we can’t hold
Its time to stop pretending we’re alright
And make a point to stop the ride
 Its time to leave our pasts behind
And lay a path that doesn’t wind
