about

There’s so much of us hidden underneath, deep in the caverns of our subconscious. Layers of unknown shaping who we are and how we live each day. Writing has always been a way for me to dive into the unknown regions of my mind. Letting streams of consciousness, spill to the page. I didn’t know how true these words would ring out with time, written a decade ago in one of my darkest moments. I thought they meant a lot to me then but somehow they mean so much more to me now. With everything crumbling around us,

This song reminds me to live and enjoy each moment, to love and to help others, no matter how uncertain the times.

lyrics

Hold me tight
Through troublin’ times
Darlin I’m gonna make it right

Home me tight
Ease your troublin’ mind
Darlin I’m gonna make it right
Darlin I’m gonna make this right

There’s the road
We go
Hiding where nobody knows
The leaves
We hide underneath

There’s a light that leaks in
Searing our skin
There’s the ways you bleed
All underneath
Just for me

Hold me tight
Through troublin’ times
Darlin I’m gonna make it right

Home me tight
Ease your troublin’ mind
Darlin I’m gonna make it right
Darlin I’m gonna make this right
