Yours to Own 02:18
lyrics

Walking through landlocked pine I’ve left my sunken home I can feel the cold/ inside my bones Dancing through spirits eyes She’s caught my very soul/ I am hers/ to own Hers to own I’ve left the sea behind I’ve casted lots for clothes Ive missed the stone/ beneath my toes I've wrestled with waves on high You’re worth some/ fighting for Never been the same/ since I hit shore I’m yours to own I’m yours to own

Nightfall 03:06

Embers burning through my chest She tells me I need more rest I guess it’s one thing I never realized How much pain I’ve disguised ooh x2 She whispers to me late at night The past is something I shouldn’t fight All Those hauntings are behind mee They drown in a forgetful sea As I lean against the pine She holds her heart against mine We sway tonight like times before And we sing ooh x12

You are my light Who shall I fear You are the strength of my life of whom should I be afraid Lord I ask To dwell in your house Hear me now x2 Though my family will forsake me I know the Lord , will gather me in I would have fainted unless I believed To see the goodness of God in the land of the livin And you hide me in your rock And I’m always in your thoughts Lord you find me When I’m down Lord you find me when I’m doubting Who you are You know what I need And my enemies Surround me I know that my head will be lifted up Because you hear me when I cry out oh God You know me

Climb 03:20
lyrics

This path My story I was starved of love and I was lonely Unloved and locked behind a door/ no key Never got relief from their authority Used to the abuse like a war/ see all my hopes go down like soldier My young eyed life is over / My temper starts to smolder Losing all that I had was not enough though When I got it all back I lost it more-so ‘Nother bruise on my arm but that’s war so what Gotta keep my head to the floor / hands up My mind is like a minefield Try to take one step at a time still Was it hard as a child / I’ll remind you I cry so hard I could die here I still relive those nights My mind replays those fights My chest starts feeling tight Ya’ll did the best with what ya had right? Now I’ve gotta move past this pain I’m gonna stop throwing the blame I gotta keep from going insane I’m climbing, I’m climbing I’ve gotta climb this mountain of mine I’ve gotta keep moving forward I know the past is a hard one to fight but I can’t let it define me Moving fast I’m running from the past / oh why can’t I keep my own tempo Can’t keep my eyes to myself / Yo I’ve gotta fire inside like a temple But I gotta keep my mind on the end zone Like trying light a yard with a candle I wish I was a better example I’m trying, trying The new life that I chose was amazing All the pain that I hold is kinda hazy Still trying to break free from it daily Memories in the past try to slay me Now I’ve gotta move past this pain I’m gonna stop throwing the blame I gotta keep from going insane I’m climbing, I’m climbing I’ve got to climb this mountain of mine I’ve got to keep moving forward I know the horror that I face inside But I can't let it define me I can't let it define me x4 What’s it take to forget a bad memory Recover fast from decade old injury Is it hard to believe that there’s a mentor On the cross there bleeding an example Now you've gotta move past this pain You've gotta stop throwing the blame Naw ya never gonna go insane Ive made it past the peak of the climb I’m still making it over Fear isn’t something that I need to fight Cause You are always beside me (Father make me a better example) (I gotta carry that mantle) You’ll make it through this fight Yesterday shouldn’t kill your whole life Night only sticks around before the sunlight Keep climbing, keep climbing Now you've gotta move past this pain You've gotta stop throwing the blame Let God take care of your pain Keep Climbing Alright

Western Psalmist Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I'm a simple musician with big goals. I hope to give others hope through inspiring music. I try to keep a genuine sound to my music, considering I record mostly in my closet. I'm not always one for the clean mainstream sound, but rather the more messy and not as perfect tune. I hope to capture the sound of my journey and perhaps yours as well through honest music. ... more
