about

A song written in my early songwriting years at the age of 18. Written about internal strife and unrivaled emotions one experiences as a young adult transitioning into adulthood. One that has been continuously reformed and revisited until the version it is now; Circles.

lyrics

Dark streets are mocking me.
Pulling my chain down.
Down, down down.

Circles around your head,
are pushing up the ground.
Punch out the sound,
But, don't forget hope!
hope!

oh and drastically change will come
While stepping on river air,
there's moonlight in her hair.

Circles around your head,
are pushing up the ground.
Punch out the sound,
But, don't forget hope!
hope!

Circles around your head
punch out the sound cause I'm coming home.

When sorrows your only friend,
and there's no love in the end.
but one sun will show,
when you and your soul might go.

Circles around your head,
are pushing up the ground.
Punch out the sound,
But, don't forget hope!
hope! Hope, Hope!

When sorrows your only friend,
and there's no love in the end.
but one sun will show,
when you and your soul might go.

Circles around your head,
are pushing up the ground.
Punch out the sound,
But, don't forget hope!
hope! Hope, Hope!
