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
In me I find the swine The inability to value whats of worth The tendency to treat the holy as common without respect Oh but earthly pleasures is like chronic pain compared to the joy that You give! Lord you know exactly how we're designed To obey You is to find life Lord, I must be wired wrong! Or else why would I prefer the lesser? The shallow over the deep? The trite over what has meaning? Lord You spoke the world into existence The power to create and destroy is in your hands No one can describe Your glory You live in unapproachable light And yet your gentle Full of mercy And tender compassion So Lord you should be valued above all You are worthy of my utmost my time, my devotion, my life this is just the reasonable sacrifice But I am like the swine I have walked and trampled upon Your blood Time after time I have foolishly chosen A bowl of pottage over my inheritance Oh who will save me from the wretch that I am? Thanks be to God, through Christ Lord! But Lord how long must I wait? until until you kill the swine within me Fill me with your Spirit Your grace be multiplied The motivation, will and energy The ability to finally prefer You over me Lord You spoke the world into existence The power to create and destroy is in your hands You are worthy of my utmost this is my reasonable sacrifice
