This is kind of a story of where I've been, to lay the foundation of where I am going. -

After hearing both Trent Reznor and Johnny Cash tell their story through this magical song in such different yet equally as powerful ways, I wanted to see if could tell it too. Singing this song turned out to be a very cathartic opportunity for me to talk about the darkest time in my life. Vulnerable, intense and desperate. It was important healing for me to acknowledge how awful I used to feel, because it paved part of the path that lead me here.

ON A LIGHTER NOTE my first album, 'To Build a Sea' is OUT NOW to tell the full story, in my own words this time, of the last 6 years or so or my life. 6 years of paving stones. A path of confusion, excitement, frustration, anxiety, numbness, acceptance, serenity, joy and eternal hope- told through music with just as many genres!

Lyrics (slightly different to the original in parts)

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focused on the pain
The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
For me to let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of shame
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
That I just can't repair

Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
But I am still right here

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
And I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
