In the glass world
The sun shines brighter than love
Doors slide open freely
People come, then they go
Here in the glass world
You can look, but you can't touch
The endless grass and the hopes that shine beyond
But sometimes things are deeper
Than they seem
And sometimes the meaning is deeper
Than we think, yeah
In the glass world
Everyone's free except you
They tell you that the weather is nice
While you struggle and toil
Here in the glass world
You gotta do what you must
Even when they scream at you and make your life a bust
But sometimes things are deeper
Than they seem
And sometimes the meaning is deeper
Than we think
And i'm gonna be free of it someday
Just gotta find the courage so things can go my way
It hurts not being able to be the person you need
I just got to reconnect with the true me
Cuz sometimes things are deeper
Than they seem
Sometimes the meaning is deeper
Than we think
And sometimes what we perceive is our own reality
But when we break those chains
By God, we know we're free

Empty Rooms (2021 Demo)

Tonight's the night I've been waiting for
I'm ready to go, ready to play some more
Gonna hop on the stage and have my say
Let everyone know this is my day
But as I creep the door
I see barely any feet on the floor
Oh God, am I playing to an empty room?
Well, this can't be, it's just the start
I'm not letting the worry settle in my heart
I'm ready, come on yeah, you gotta give me a shot
Let me shine here in my own spot
But as the time wears on
People wave, then they're gone
Oh God, I'm playing to an empty room
This isn't the first time I've had to take a hit on my own dime
And everybody's stuff is better than mine anyways
So why should you stick around to hear the same five songs?
The night gets deeper and the cars pass by
Yet again, I'm asking myself why
I'm playing these chords for no one
Just the barkeep and I, until it's done
But that's the risk we take
When all we do is try to make our mark
Here in this world
Even if you just create
You gotta know, there's no escape
Sometimes we all play to empty rooms

Well, I've been dreaming about it
And I've been thinking about it
I been waiting on a hope and a prayer cuz
The gears are spinning and the wheels, they're turning
But I'm seeing my friends succeed
And I'm not doing well
But I can't be a player
If I'm not playing the game
I can't be a hater
If I'm not chasing the fame
I don't have a prayer
When everything is just the same
I've been resting on my laurels for far too long
I don't know what I'm going to do
I've got to see it through
I've got to unlearn every little bit of tricks
That I've found myself fallen to
All the lies I've been hearing
It makes my brain turn to mush
And I don't know how to handle it, but
But I can't be a player
If I'm not playing the game
I can't be a hater
If I'm not chasing the fame
I don't have a prayer
When everything is just the same
I've been resting on my laurels for far too long
(And my brain starts screaming at me, hard and fast!)
I want more!
How do I get more?
I deserve more!
How in the world will I ever get more
When I've got the mindset of a hater?
Oh, child! Well, I can't be a player
If I'm not playing the game
I can't be a hater
If I'm not chasing the fame
I don't have a prayer
When everything is just the same
I've been resting on my laurels for far too long
But it's a cureable disease
Gonna find the way
I'm gonna find the cure and make myself a happier person
I know I'm gonna do better
I just gotta let it go
I can't let my friends and my family
Say whatever they want to sew
I can't be a player
If I'm not playing the game
I can't be a hater
If I'm not chasing the fame
I don't have a prayer
When everything is just the same
I've been resting on my laurels for far too long
