indie spiritual real creative dark christian fingerstyle emotional personal deep honest alt tuning capos
Progressive finger-style guitar, with emotional melodies and raw, honest lyrics.
I invite you to amble through my world of raw, emotional and honest song writing. I hope it might strike a chord in you and be a little more like a flower among the thorns of unsigned amateurs here on SoundClick. Though I indeed am a unsigned amateur myself.

Lyrics
Years and I'm still like water No mater where I start I always fall the easiest way To the lowest parts No matter if I go the noble way No matter if I take others along with me All roads lead to the same destination All paths dead-end to the same lonesome place This stagnant pool is getting old Maybe I should just stop thinking I try to pray for others And I try to think about God Only to blink and I find myself Asking for what I think I am needing Which makes my heart sink like a par of glasses in the ocean For I am still blind God has yet to give me clarity He has left me dependent and weak And won't provide what I need Like a boy asking his mom for a cookie And she says no time and again After the 20th time of asking and still no cookie Why should he keep persisting? But I am not asking for cookies! I am begging God to live through me To write His laws upon my heart And to be my life, my will, my motivation and energy They tell me to stop trying and start trusting They tell me to let go and let God I stopped trying and my gears began to rust I let go and I fell to the depths And yet if I try, I still get nowhere If I hold on I am, just left hanging So yeah I am stuck between these two options But God has left me waiting He is my only solutions But it seems He is not listening He is the only way But He has yet removed the road blocks He is the only truth But He has yet let it set me free He is the only life But He seems reluctant to make it evident to me Sometimes God shines upon me and I rise towards Him Other times the water just evaporates And all this just fades and evades my mind Oh but one day I will no longer be like water, And the old will disappear down the drain
