Used my passion for creative writing to develop compelling stories that fit within the structure of a song. Influenced by folklore and mythical story telling.

Lilah (pt 1)
(D, Em, G, C)
Lilah, you used to go to the coffee shop on your own
A hot cup of tea never feeling alone
You never bothered anyone with your worries
Left crying to the shower and your bedroom floor
(G,E,C)
But you don’t have to be brave anymore
Just come around whenever and knock on my door
Lilah, you use to go to the movies on your own
A bucket of popcorn never feeling alone
You fun loving girl in your tie dye shirts
Left smiles on everyone’s faces leaving no hurt
Used to feel sorry for all the boys who loved you
You never believed them, hopeless you’d never love too
(D, Em, G, AM)
But I promise... he loves you
(C, G,D)
He’s just scared he doesn’t deserve the love that you give
(Am, G)
Because he grew up an unloved kid
(C, Em)
He hasn’t grown up
(D, Em)
Confident and independent like you did
But I promise… Your love can never be replaced
Purple Slushies (pt 1)
(F, G, AM)
Two weird girls raised on purple slushies
Stardust and moonlight
They howl endlessly
Runaways and rebels from desert trailer parks
They run to the seaside
To get away from the dark
Diving under waves leaving all worries behind
Making boys fall in love
With their sparkling eyes
Hook (F, C, G, Am)
Ain’t nobody gonna hurt us now 4x
Their minds and beauty begin to wander
Cold skin and lustful men
Staying warm under covers
They accept their roles as lovers for the night
Soothing lonely hearts
Burning worries from their minds
Enough (pt 1)
G EM AM
After you my hair turned black
G EM D
I’m just starting to get the blonde back
Am G
My friends tell me
D Em
I’ve never been in love
G Am EM
But I sure hope these tears ain't for nothing
D
I thought I was something
Em, C, G, D (3x)
We didn’t have enough time
Not enough for pet names
Not enough slow dances
Not enough laughing in the rain
I want to be enough
Em D
I feel puny I feel weak
G Am D
That such a love could take a hold of me
Em C
I wish you could hold me
