About
An unapologetic claim to freedom and power is at the core of his EP. It reveals that even when we think we can’t take it anymore, our spirit kicks in like never before and shows us exactly what we’re made of and who we can become.
When we acknowledge the stories that have shaped and transformed us, we share them and they set us free.

Forged in Love
Verse
I didn’t choose to love you
And I can’t change how I feel
Just because you change your mind
Doesn’t mean I can change mine
Believe me
I tried a million times
Yeah
Pre-Chorus
It hurts so deep
It hurts so long
Never will I forget this sacred bond
That was forged in love
Forged in love, forged in love, forged in love
Chorus
Oh the sands may shift
Our prayers may rust
And the dreams we built
May turn to dust
(It may)
It may all come undone
But we will never destroy
What was forged in love
Verse
Baby I’m done feeling guilty
And I am through feeling bad
It’s time to get to know the new me
And I throw a flame to the past
Believe me, it’s about time
Pre-Chorus
It feels so good
It feels so free
For the first time doing right by me
Forget that love, forget that love
Forget that love, forget that love
Chorus
Oh, the sands may shift
Our prayers may rust
And the dreams we built
May turn to dust
(It may)
It may all come undone
But we will never destroy
What was forged in love, forged in love
Bridge
You come back out of the blue
And it feels just like deja-vu
Our parallel lives collide again
Is it time for us to surrender babe? Surrender babe?
Surrender babe, surrender babe
Chorus
Oh, the sands may shift
Our prayers may rust
And the dreams we built
May turn to dust
(It may)
It may all come undone
But we will never destroy
What was forged in love, forged in love Oh forged in love
I didn’t choose to love you
And I can’t change how I feel
Just because you change your mind
Doesn’t mean I can change mine
Believe me
I tried a million times
Yeah
Pre-Chorus
It hurts so deep
It hurts so long
Never will I forget this sacred bond
That was forged in love
Forged in love, forged in love, forged in love
Chorus
Oh the sands may shift
Our prayers may rust
And the dreams we built
May turn to dust
(It may)
It may all come undone
But we will never destroy
What was forged in love
Verse
Baby I’m done feeling guilty
And I am through feeling bad
It’s time to get to know the new me
And I throw a flame to the past
Believe me, it’s about time
Pre-Chorus

It feels so free
For the first time doing right by me
Forget that love, forget that love
Forget that love, forget that love
Chorus
Oh, the sands may shift
Our prayers may rust
And the dreams we built
May turn to dust
(It may)
It may all come undone
But we will never destroy
What was forged in love, forged in love
Bridge
You come back out of the blue
And it feels just like deja-vu

Is it time for us to surrender babe? Surrender babe?
Surrender babe, surrender babe
Chorus
Oh, the sands may shift

And the dreams we built

What was forged in love, forged in love Oh forged in love
Don't Wrong Me No More
Verse
She is so sweet, so kind
Gives me kisses all the time
She’s got my back
In fact my whole body, soul and mind
But in an instant she’ll be triggered and transform into somebody different
Pre-Chorus
I don’t know who she is no more
I don’t know who she is no more
Chorus
This woman is hot and cold
This woman is skilled and she knows
Just how to wrap me around her middle finger
This woman is slick and realizes
How to trap me down and pull the trigger
But there’s a line and you crossed it
Only so much I can take
Cause I don’t need you babe
I’ll walk out the door
Don’t wrong no more
Oh, don’t wrong me no more
Verse
She plays games with my brain
Makes me feel like I’m insane
One minute she’s loves me, she hugs me, lucky to have her beside me
But in an instant she will switch, shape shift, and lift up her imaginary veil
Pre-Chorus
I don’t know who she is no more
I don’t know who she is no more
Chorus
This woman is hot and cold
This woman is skilled and she knows
Just how to wrap me around her middle finger
This woman is tame and wild
This woman is slick and realizes
How to trap me down and pull the trigger
But there’s a line, and you crossed it
Only so much I can take
Cause I don’t need you babe
I’ll walk out the door
Don’t wrong no more
Oh don’t wrong me no more
Oh don’t wrong me no more
Oh, don’t wrong me no more
Oh, wrong me no more
She is so sweet, so kind
Gives me kisses all the time
She’s got my back
In fact my whole body, soul and mind
But in an instant she’ll be triggered and transform into somebody different
Pre-Chorus
I don’t know who she is no more
I don’t know who she is no more
Chorus
This woman is hot and cold
This woman is skilled and she knows
Just how to wrap me around her middle finger
This woman is slick and realizes
How to trap me down and pull the trigger
But there’s a line and you crossed it
Only so much I can take
Cause I don’t need you babe
I’ll walk out the door
Don’t wrong no more
Oh, don’t wrong me no more

My Grave
Verse
I’ve been feeling down
I’ve been feeling down
Can’t get things off the ground
Oh no
I keep digging down
Yeah, I keep digging down
Can’t find my way out
Oh no
Pre-Chorus
What good is life when you can’t be fine
And you can’t find peace in your heart or mind
Every damn day is worst than the last
Your skeletons haunt you from the past
Chorus
I’ve been running, running, running
I keep numbing, numbing, numbing
Now I’m crumbling, crumbling, crumbling
And this pain has become my home
Nothing, nothing
Give me something, something, something
Oh won’t someone come and save me?
Or this pain may become my grave
Verse
I’ve been dreaming of, yeah been dreaming of
Finding my truest love, true love
I keep on falling down, yeah I keep falling down
Can’t seem to make no ground, no ground
Pre-Chorus
What good is life when you can’t find love
Nothing you try is ever enough
Although it is all around
You can’t open up, you can’t feel it’s power
Chorus
I’ve been running, running, running
I keep numbing, numbing, numbing
Now I’m crumbling, crumbling, crumbling
And this pain has now become my home
Nothing, nothing
Give me something, something, something
Oh won’t someone come and save me?
Or this pain may become my grave
Bridge
Lost in the depths of my own mind
I’m too afraid to open up
I don’t want to face no truth
(No truth)
But if this goes on any longer
There will be nothing left
Nothing left to give, to give
Outro
So I gotta keep trusting, trusting, trusting
Lean into loving, loving, loving
I keep my head up, head up, head up
So the pain won’t become my grave
I’ve been feeling down
I’ve been feeling down
Can’t get things off the ground
Oh no
I keep digging down
Yeah, I keep digging down
Can’t find my way out
Oh no
Pre-Chorus
What good is life when you can’t be fine
And you can’t find peace in your heart or mind
Every damn day is worst than the last
Your skeletons haunt you from the past
Chorus
I’ve been running, running, running
I keep numbing, numbing, numbing
Now I’m crumbling, crumbling, crumbling
And this pain has become my home
Nothing, nothing
Give me something, something, something
Oh won’t someone come and save me?
Or this pain may become my grave
Verse

Soul's on Fire
Verse
It’s been a 3-year winter
And my bones are all worn
Oh, I’m done with this desert
I’m heading north
She ripped my heart out
And left me for dead
It’s just me and the stars now
A ghostly road for me to tread
Pre-Chorus
I’ve been beaten and battered, flattened, defeated, in tatters
Yeah but my spirit ain’t broken
I’ve been beaten and battered, flattened, defeated, in tatters
Yeah but my spirit ain’t broken, my spirit ain’t broken
Chorus
Cause my soul is on fire
Freedom running through my veins
Oh nobody can tell me nothing
Cause I’m tethered to nobodies chains
I’ve got the shirt on my back
A couple dollars in my pocket
And a cold wry smile
Cause my souls on fire
My soul’s on fire
Verse
So who am I now?
That the old me is dead?
Oh maybe I’m an outlaw?
With a bounty on my head?
Pre-Chorus
I’m a Wayfaring stranger, dangerous, no cage can contain me
Yeah but my spirit ain’t broke
I’m a Wayfaring stranger, dangerous, no cage can contain me
Yeah but my spirit ain’t broke, my spirit ain’t broken
Chorus
Cause my soul is on fire
Freedom running through my veins
Oh nobody can tell me nothing
Cause I’m tethered to nobodies chains
I’ve got the shirt on my back
Couple dollars in my pocket
And a cold wry smile
Cause my souls on fire
Oh my soul’s on on fire
Soul’s on fire
It’s been a 3-year winter
And my bones are all worn
Oh, I’m done with this desert
I’m heading north
She ripped my heart out
And left me for dead
It’s just me and the stars now
A ghostly road for me to tread
Pre-Chorus
I’ve been beaten and battered, flattened, defeated, in tatters
Yeah but my spirit ain’t broken
I’ve been beaten and battered, flattened, defeated, in tatters
Yeah but my spirit ain’t broken, my spirit ain’t broken
Chorus
Cause my soul is on fire
Freedom running through my veins
Oh nobody can tell me nothing
Cause I’m tethered to nobodies chains
I’ve got the shirt on my back
A couple dollars in my pocket
And a cold wry smile
Cause my souls on fire
My soul’s on fire
Verse
So who am I now?

Your Friend
Verse
Something about the open road
Something about the drive
Nothing but the radio
To clear all of the echoes from my mind
For 5 years I was hoping
That one day you’d return
Though there is still a hole
My heart’s no longer broken and burned
Pre-Chorus
Sometimes I think about you
I wonder how you are
I hope that you found happiness
And the love that you deserve
Chorus
No matter where I travel
No matter where I go
There will always be a candle
Lit up for you inside my home
So if you lose the moonlight
Or If you lose the stars
And you find yourself in dark nights
There’s lights for you inside my heart
Though we are no longer lovers
I’ll always be, I’ll always be
Your friend
Verse
10 Years may go by
And we may rarely talk
Well be living different lives
And our kids will be starting to walk
Our photos will have faded
Nicknames long forgotten
We’ll live in different states
Me in L.A. and you near Boston
Pre-Chorus
Sometimes I think about you
And remember what we had
I’m glad that you found happiness
And the love you deserved
Chorus
No matter where I travel
No matter where I go
There will always be a candle
Lit up for you inside my home
So if you lose the moonlight
Or If you lose the stars
And you find yourself in dark nights
There’s lights for you inside my heart
Though we are no longer lovers
I’ll always be, I’ll always be
Outro
Your friend, Your friend
I’ll always be
Your friend x3
I’ll always be your friend, your friend
Something about the open road
Something about the drive
Nothing but the radio
To clear all of the echoes from my mind
For 5 years I was hoping
That one day you’d return
Though there is still a hole
My heart’s no longer broken and burned
Pre-Chorus
Sometimes I think about you
I wonder how you are
I hope that you found happiness
And the love that you deserve
Chorus
No matter where I travel
No matter where I go
There will always be a candle
Lit up for you inside my home
So if you lose the moonlight
Or If you lose the stars
And you find yourself in dark nights
There’s lights for you inside my heart
Though we are no longer lovers
I’ll always be, I’ll always be
