Oh the road ahead looks so good ‘Cause this voice lives deeper than I ever thought it could Thank you London Town Fears are flowers we must learn to throw out I was afraid; I'd need two faces to survive this fight Let it burn, burn, burn, burn

Deeper 03:48
You don't even know what's real anymore Staring at the heat on the desert floor It's been 14 months since I heard the truth A mirage of a life you're putting me through, and I'm done, done, done, done You can't even tell your own lies apart Swearing to me with your hand on your heart It's been 14 years since we made our ties Even God doesn't want to hear more of your lies, and I'm done, done, done, done Chorus You're sinking in deeper babe A little bit more each day Do you lie to yourself when you try to erase your mistakes? And even if no one knows, you're gonna wind up alone, circling nine rounds down in the ground Everything I thought I knew I know no more For better or worse followed you out the door It's been 14 days since I kicked you out In disguise you can be anything to get what you want And I'm done, done, done, done Chorus Even if you told me the truth Would it change the way I feel about you Your baggage of lies might look better through truth's eyes Tell me why I have to be the one to decide Between your pack of truth and your pack of lies? You're sinking in deeper babe A little bit more each day… Chorus Nine rounds down Nine rounds down in the ground

This Voice 04:01
I've been waiting to fall off a cliff Waiting for it to make sense, patiently I've been counting down the days 'Til I'm hit with a wave, that will pull me under, Oh Chorus This voice won’t save me forever This voice won’t save me forever I fear the storm that's sure to come And the thunder I cant outrun, strike me down I fear that I'll give everything and in the end I'll still regret not having more, Oh Chorus Fall to the bottom and climb to the top Never give in, never give up, don't stop Break down the doors 'til you're broken yourself Never give up, just on everything else Let in consume you, let it abuse you A fair price to pay for the chance to continue Fighting for things that you couldn't find Though they've been there the whole time Chorus x4 Oh this voice, this voice, it won't save me
4.
I've had better, and you know it too I'm so tired, wanting more from you If I knew you changed my weather I would have worn my sweater Chorus I can’t stay, I can’t keep Waiting for you to be what I need I can’t love, I can’t change This heart of mine So I'll be on my way I've had closer, keep me here alone and ashamed I'm not patient; you can’t hold me all the way Chorus I'm beating myself to the ground Wishing that you'd come around If I knew you're cold like granite I would have brought my jacket I've had sweeter, soaked in warm embrace I've had so much better; I can’t fix the mess you've made Chorus
5.
Burn 03:57
They call me survivor Call me a fighter, as if I am the same I am changed, by a man who only takes Didn't know why I stayed, until today I stand before you as you avert your gaze The evidence you need, he ironed onto me Bound in chains I take the stand Staring through these twelve men Who'll never know this pain Well here's the truth you seek CHORUS I'll die in here before I let him walk another day If I spend the rest of my life in a cage, I wont complain Cuz I finally had enough of all the lies, he'll never change So I put a gun to his head and I said You're gonna burn in the hell you made I, I am a mother And I was a lover Until he beat the love from me Ask me why, oh ask me why one more time Why I painted myself red to protect myself and them Abusers they will walk away Live to see another day As I carry my cross Thirty years to life CHORUS You with the clean hands, look me in the eye If guilty's what you're looking for I'll gladly step forward Cuz I'm one of hundreds everywhere No you don't have to look that hard To find bruises and scars all around
6.
I could wear your love like a winter coat Baby, wrap me up so I'm never cold You bring out the blue in these dark eyes Happiness is the best light The way you hold my waist makes my skin glow Laughter is the shade on my cheekbones I see you in the lines on of my smile Loving you is my favorite style Chorus Your love looks so good on me Looks so good on me I'd stay in your arms if I could You've got a way with me You look so good on me Slip into your love like an evening gown I never felt so beautiful as I do now Lately I've been breaking in my strength heel shoes I stand a little taller with you Chorus I wake up every morning still surprised I have love like this by my side And even though it's just a state of mind I can hold it in my hands and it makes me wanna cry
7.
Two Faces 03:27
Starring daggers through the room Every time someone new, walks in looking nice You say that's your face when your mind goes blank We both know that's not true Different sets and different scenes, you're not the you you are with me, you love to play, masquerade Chorus I see your colors changing You don't need to fake it, you don't need two faces I can see your colors changing Put the show away, get off the stage, you don't need two faces Insecurity doesn't always look that weak You seem to hold it like a knife You think you stand tall making everything small We both know that's a lie You try so hard but you just need to be the you you are with me, you love to play, masquerade Chorus We were close but now you're someone else Can't keep up with your phases, I know I have to say this There's the door, so show yourself out, I'm done done done done done Chorus x2
8.
Digging him up from the past just to write the story Reading every letter that I wrote every word I buried Open up my chest open up every thought I wouldn't think Paper comes alive ‘cause I never wrote to him I wrote to me I'm sorry I let you fall so hard I'm sorry I never told you "you're stronger than this" I'm sorry I let you disregard Every ounce of dignity that you had left Chorus Can't forget I don't wanna live with regret But I'm sorry it's true I loved him more than you You were right, and I'll listen next time All of the doors you could've walked through But I loved him more than you Making him happy never should've been my number one Blaming him all these years when I held the smoking gun I held you to the wall you were stuck between the hardest place You dared to treat you better when you told him to do the same I'm sorry I didn't let you leave that day I'm sorry I let him hurt you over and over again And you knew that he wasn't worth the pain But I broke all your bones so you'd fit anyway Chorus The letters say dear me, but all I heard was dear him Begging to be free from chains that come from within Now I know what it feels like to live and love ‘Cause I let you die once Chorus x2
9.
I never needed anyone to rescue me So consumed by the things I can’t change, the games I can’t play I missed all the times you saved me, so let it all fall apart, let the world fall before I live Chorus Without you, I don't wanna survive What's the point of trying, fighting for life? What else do I need, with you by me, oh I would give it all up, to survive with you All I ever wanted was to save you Constantly chasing the time with our lives on the line Somehow you still come to my rescue Let it all fall apart, let the world fall before I live Chorus You, if you go I'm going too, oh This is the end, but we've just begun Without you, I don't wanna survive x2 Chorus
10.
The Road 04:01
I somehow seem to get where I wanna go But that doesn't mean, I could tell you the road For once in my life, I wanna shoot straight If it’s the moon, I wanna know what steps to take New York City is calling my name, ‘cause I love a Broadway stage And I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to find my way Oh I've got a soul that lives for the thrill And I've got a mind that has a will My fingers seem to be in every pie And it's a wonder I've made it anywhere on time Tennessee is catching my eye, and all the songs that I would write And I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to find my way Chorus Oh, where do I go, what should I say, How will I know what part to play Oh, tomorrow, today, it's all the same, wherever I go I'm finding my way I am a lover I love to believe That everything, will line up for me Damn you reality one day I'll shine ‘Cause whose to say that when we fall, that we weren't flying California is holding my heart, pack my bags and head for the stars And I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to find my way Chorus x2 I somehow seem to get where I wanna go, But that doesn't mean I could tell you the road
11.
Flowers 04:11
Dream of me for the last time Turn the frames around and sleep for one night Dust will fall reclaim the walls So close the books you read they won't bring me to your bedside Fog will rise from your sad eyes You haven't won you haven't lost but it's time To leave this town give up the fight Leave the ruins, leave it all behind Chorus And throw away the flowers Throw away the flowers You can't keep it all, so let the petals fall And throw away the flowers Half a heart not half the person you are Move on from this and write a brighter chapter Get off the floor there's so much more It doesn't have to be sadly ever after Chorus Break your fears, I don't make you whole I hear your tears, and I release your soul So throw away the flowers yeah x2 Chorus

about

The power of transformation is a defining theme among this album. During my time in England, I embraced that fire and how much had changed in me and began to see the world and myself through a different lens. This album will always remind me of that journey and the transformations that build us up and create who we are :)

Essentially, it is a collection of songs I wrote during my Masters course at Bath Spa University in Bath, England. After submitting these songs for my final portfolio, I achieved my degree with distinctions! I am proud to release Burn as my second album.

I would like to thank all the talented musicians who contributed and collaborated on this album. You have helped me create yet another album that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

Gregory. You have spent more time making this album amazing than I deserve. You put as much time into it as I did even though you had your own album to write and record. You are an amazing friend and collaborator. Thank you for another successful album.

Chris, you are so talented and fun to work with. Thanks for being my drummer and friend. And for getting these tracks to me while you were busy with your own Masters!

Mom, Dad & Tal, I love you all so much. Thank you for loving my music and inspiring me to get my Masters at Bath Spa University, which ultimately made me write this album.

Zak. I love you more than anything. You are incredible at what you do. You always push me to realize my skills and potential. You keep me warm like a winter coat. Thank you.
