about

I've been playing acoustic versions of my songs and plan to release an album later this year of reworked older and newer songs.

I submitted this song for a I Heart Noise compilation.

lyrics

I'm in and out
there's dark and light
sometimes the darkness
wins the fight
there's demons in the past
I face them down
but it never lasts
these memories come fast

I've got to stop
turning me around
don't know what's in my mind
sometimes I'm doing fine
I've got to stop
turning me around
cannot unwind my mind
not sure what I might find
oh

same is true
for all the dark
light can come inside
bring some small spark alive
I'm in and out
nothing is left or right
sometimes it's fight or flight
sometimes the future's bright

I've got to stop
turning me around
don't know what's in my mind
sometimes I'm doing fine
I've got to stop
turning me around
cannot unwind my mind
not sure what I might find
oh

I'm a circle, I'm a second
I'm a holy ghost
feelings hit home so close
nothing that I had hoped
I'm a circle, I'm a second
I'm a holy ghost
the lightness does approach
my mind tries to revolt

I've got to stop
turning me around
don't know what's in my mind
sometimes I'm doing fine
I've got to stop
turning me around
cannot unwind my mind
not sure what I might find
oh
