Human 05:06
Got no home, but I’m where I wanna be I got some freedom, but that freedom don’t come free When the road starts turning, carry on If the wind don’t guide you, look towards the sun Wherever your heart seems weary Know you are human, know it’s ok to be alone I’m a lot like you, you’re a lot like me Know you are human, know it’s ok to turn to stone I’m a lot like you, you’re a lot like me So if you’re offended, I can’t let that bother me People talk of goals and security While they dream of, dreams they never get to see When the road starts turning, carry on If the moon don’t move you, look towards the sun Whenever your heart seems weary Know you are human, know it’s ok to be alone I’m a lot like you, You’re a lot like me Know you are human, know it’s ok to turn to stone I’m a lot like you, you’re a lot like me And if you’re offended, I can’t let that bother me Oh know you are human, know it’s ok to be alone I’m a lot like you, you’re a lot like me So if you’re offended, I can’t let that bother me

NYC 04:10
I woke up in NYC with a new tune in my head I’m not sad cause you left me, but I can’t say I’m not mad We both knew we had each other but I’d never have your heart You had one arm wrapped around me while your fingers, they were crossed. When we separate the layers of what we had and what was lost, can you even recognize me? Was it worth all the cost? To trade beauty for protection, to cash in on letting go, I’m afraid that you began to settle before you could try to grow I’m not proud of who I am, but at least I know the difference between lovers and a friend How could I trust my foolish heart, Oh that’s ok, and that’s alright, at least I left my mark I left my mark Now for four whole months I’ve been on my own Tryin’ to figure out how to not be alone Well I loved real big and I loved real blind And that’s alright, that’s alright To love blind, that’s alright. I’ve been staring out the window seeing springtime in slow bloom And while time has passed and seasons change, something leads me back to you Oh hudson hudson river, won’t you guide me anywhere? NYC you have ruined me, but that’s ok, You are my home I’m not proud of who I am, but at least I know the difference between lovers and a friend How could I trust my foolish heart, Oh that’s ok, and that’s alright, at least I left my mark I left my mark

24 03:55
24 years and working for the system 24 years of living in fear 24 years of letting my doubts control me 24 years of missed opportunities She hopped on a train and headed out to California She packed up her life and ran away She said, “This is what I gotta do, this is what I gotta be, if you don’t like it leave it or you’ll never be free.” 24 years and searching for the answer It’s alright, it’s alright you can run if you want to Just know that your heart comes first Break down, lose trust, get back up when the world lets you down Cause the hardest part of life is standing your own ground 24 years and working for the system 24 years of fighting for the man 24 years of awkward conversations 24 questions of who I am I can feel the air it’s changing around me Seems to be the road keeps moving, and it’s so wild Roll the windows down and just smile Do what you can to survive Love whatever you find it’s alright Love whatever you find It’s alright, it’s alright you can run if you want to Just know that your heart comes first Break down, lose trust, get back up when the world lets you down And stand your ground 24 years and it’s only the beginning

Dreamer 03:37
Dreamer, are you having fun? Is this what you want, do you feel you’ve won? When your days are through, will your heart be full? Happiness doesn’t wait for you, Doesn’t owe you, won’t be true to you You can let it in, but prepare to let it go Stay with me and never let me go Stay with me Stay with me, till the other side, Till the other side Oh but sometimes, when the moods right, you’ll find life’s your best friend But happiness, is a far stretch, from working like a dog till your dirty end So won’t you ask yourself Dreamer are you having fun, Is this what you want, do you feel you’ve won, When your days are through, will your heart be full?

I'm No Fool 05:08
I’m a fool I’m foolish like I seem I start questioning myself and what I wanna be And when I’ve got nobody else, I hope I see me If I let you go back to my start You’d see a free and flowing child with a flowing heart And when she’s got nobody else, I hope she sees me When you can’t picture your own self, I hope you see me Back and forth around in my mind I’ve circled this same old track so many times before Racing idly and then falling behind And I don’t mind No I don’t mind No I don’t mind No I don’t mind Racing idly, and then falling behind And I don’t mind, I don’t mind No I’m no fool I’m not foolish like I once seemed I don’t question my own self, question my own self and what I wanna be Cause when I’ve got nobody else, I always see me When you can’t picture your damn self, I hope you see me When you ain’t got nobody else, I hope you see me Back and forth around in my mind I’ve circled this same old track, so many times before Racing idly, and then falling behind And I don’t mind I’m no fool

To Be Found 04:06
Take it off, push em up, let the girls hang out Shine your hair, pout your lips, that’s what people talk about Screen fed to believe, the media just wants you to behave Cause everybody knows someone else’s place Like a half smoked cigarette, wasted lying on the ground You just try to feel anything, but a bad taste in your mouth Wait for the smoke to clear, but there’s still ashes Still ashes, there’s those ashes to be found Shouldn’t be too rough, shouldn’t be too sweet Don’t smile too much, can’t look you in the eye Don’t talk too much, don’t interrupt Dare disagree then be prepared to be questioned about your ability Take me without a warning Won’t you take me as I am? Oh take me Won’t you take me? Like a half smoked cigarette, wasted lying on the ground You just try to feel anything, but a bad taste in your mouth Wait for the smoke to clear, but there’s those ashes There’s still ashes, there’s still ashes to be found Oh take me without a warning Won’t you take me as I am? Oh take me Won’t you take me? Like a half smoked cigarette, wasted lying on the ground You just try to feel anything, but a bad taste in your mouth Wait for the smoke to clear, but there’s still ashes Still ashes, there’s those ashes to be found

There are places in my heart where I dare not go Never let it show So I talk real cool but I’m feeling so low Who am I to know, where I belong? Promise me, Promise me It’s not that I’m scared Not that I’m lost and searching for much more So what if I am? What’s that to you? There are places in my heart where I dare not go Never let it show, never let them know So I say what I say and hope that they don’t see How I feel, what's underneath Promise me, Promise me It’s not that I’m scared Not that I’m lost and searching for much more So what if I am? What’s that to you? There are places in my heart that I dare not go Never let it show, no

Funny how it came to this You’ve got boxes full of loved ones filled up to the brim Old friend bring me some new strength back to me Silly you’re holding on to that old and shrunken shirt Your whole life’s a time capsule, buried deep down in the dirt Untouched on closet shelves are thirteen porcelain dolls Crying from the closets are their tiny porcelain hearts Old saint bring me some new faith back to me Outside my window there’s a bluebird singing free She knows when to move on And she knows when to let go let go Dust off your old wings fly back to me I said go on and dust off your old wings fly back to me

Shine 04:55
There are some days, when you wake up feeling alone And when you find yourself here, remember what’s in your soul There are some people, who don’t see the light that you shine Most people don't and that’s ok that’s alright Just gotta keep living your life Keep on living your life Whenever the road leaves you stranded When the bottle becomes your best friend When you’ve got no more love to push on through You better shine You better shine down on me You better shine till tomorrow Send your shine on down to me Shine on down to me, down on me There are some lovers, who only steal your heart away But I know the love that I deserve So fake lovers get out of my way There are some times, when your bones ache and you feel you wanna cry Like a stray dog you keep running, feeling lost and pushed aside Whenever the road leaves you stranded When the bottle becomes your best friend When you’ve got no more love to push on through You better shine You better shine down on me You better shine till tomorrow Send your shine on down to me Shine on down to me, down on me Only you can see, the love that you deserve Only you can see, the love that makes you Shine, till tomorrow

Where you goin out so late, you don’t got no money aint got no date Gonna drive on down this road till the morning comes Kick it in drive and roll away, speeding down the interstate going way past the county line, way on past the county line Sometimes you get knocked down big plans they don't work out Funny how it all went south but I still love you yeah I still love you Go as far as I’ve got to go, to get back to where my roots grow Cause everything I am, ain’t the way I used to be It’s something bout the way it feels, a cross between hollow and insincere Won’t you give me something real? Something real Sometimes you get knocked down big plans they don't work out Funny how it all went south, but I still love you Three cheers for the broken hearted Three shots for the ones who always know you I’ll be thinking bout you always Dark nights when you leave the light on Call me to see if I’m safe at home I’ll be thinking bout you till the morning comes Till the morning comes Till the morning comes There was humor there was love and sometimes hate Life unsweetened no sugar coating nothing All I want now is to feel something real again Don’t the world wanna feel something? Three cheers for the broken hearted Three shots for the ones who always know you I’ll be thinking bout you always Dark nights when you leave the lights on Call me to see if I’m safe at home I’ll be thinking bout you till the morning comes When all I need, is this road to carry me carry me Where you going out so late, you don’t got no money ain’t got no date Gonna drive on down this road, till the morning comes

Thank you to everyone who helped bring this music to life- with every road bump along the way, it was your constant encouragement and love that allowed me to see these songs to full fruition.

Big thank you to my music family- your grit, creativity, humor, friendship, and night owl attitude made me feel at home. Thank you to anyone who’s ever come out to support a show, all the chats after shows, and all the beautiful people I’ve met along the way- nothing is cooler than seeing people connect through music, and I’m just so grateful that you took the time to stumble into wherever I was playing, by chance or by choice, and to connect with my music. Thank you to mom, dad, joe, chris, and phil for all the love- famiglia through and through. Big thank you to the musicians, engineers, and artists who contributed to the album- art first, always.

I hope these songs hit home, and that they can connect you further towards something, whatever that may be.
