lyrics

Some days the chain seems thicker
Tying me down to a road I don't want to walk on
I keep telling myself I could do better
But the block on the road won't let me go
The thicker they get, the harder to break

Bright lights blinding clear eyes
They don't want you to see the light of day
Just the black of their eyes, the shine of their ties
The truth of their lies, the low of their highs

Punching holes, rolling with the punches
Properly marked, sealed, and confidential
Having credential while lacking essential
Piling high on lack of time for real life

Punching holes in my heart
Clipping my life
Tying my feet to the dirty ground

We are eaten alive by papers and staplers
Markers and binders, deadlines and clips
Tied to their hips, close to a heart attack
When the stack is of blank papers
instead of love stories

But I will object, I will not consent
I will hold my stand, and I will be bent
But I won't break, I will be free
To let you love, and let me be
untie, unstaple, release
to the breeze of a life without ties
without chains, without lies
full of love, and no disguise.

Say goodbye
Say goodbye to the old world
Say goodbye to theirs
Say hello to ours
This is our world

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
