lyrics

Our causes are different, but our speech is the same
We make complaints in vain
We both miss each other, different versions of ourselves
Different sides of our coins

As if we were fans of, the same actor,
performing two different roles
You miss a version of me that exists
In complete dependence on the version of you I really miss

I miss your south, you miss my north
I miss your grand entrance and
you miss my quiet escape
We are walking on different sides
of the same damn road
We are present on the same place
but in a parallel universe

We are traces of our past in each other
We are light that remains inside your eyelids
when you stare at the sun

I miss your sun and you miss my moon
You miss my strum and I miss your hand
We're quietly side by side
But none of us is really there

We are ghosts of who we thought we were
We are bound by the lack of ourselves
We are who we are when our eyes are closed
When we drift off into our own space
Until there’s no sense of you and I...
Until our light is off
And we can find each other again

about

That Virginia Bridgeport, Connecticut

Once I knew how to play, I learned how to create. I knew life wouldn't be the same. Songwriting became my friend, my therapy, and my instrument of empowerment. My music is the best I can give to the world - it comes from my soul, from my heart, it is how I reach out. All I do is hope I can touch people in a positive way and somehow let them know it's ok to follow their bliss. ... more
