A memoir of thoughts, stories and memories, tied together by the music I write.
lyrics
Love is real
Love is fast
Love is confusing
Time is too
Time is real
Time is fast
Time is bending
Love is real
Love will last
Love is an ending
Hearts break too
Time is real
Time will last
Time is unending
One step at a time
Every good song starts with one good line
Struggled a lot so that I could find
My purpose in life and I found it in time
Found it in the timing
Found it in the patterns of the words that I'd been writing
Let the rhythm guide me
Take my time, I could never waste it
You will never find me making music that is basic
Dreams I've been chasing, looking for my place in
A world of concrete, flowers in the pavement
So much hope, but your heart seems vacant
Love is cure and there is no replacement
You’re my source of inspiration
Writing love letters to the girl I've been chasin'
Soul searching, I live in the moment
Go with the flow, and my river keeps flowing
Blu ink, scribbled on my page
Pray my light won't die when the sun fades
Blu ink, written in my veins
Written for the love of the music I've made
Blu ink, scribbled on my page
Pray my light won't die when the sun fades
Blu ink, written in my veins
Written for this love of the music I've made
Old soul still growing up
Thank you to the fans that are still showing love
High school, still showin' up
I miss the lake still we don't go enough
Don't feel like home, I'm always on the road
Cancelling my trips and I blame it on the snow
I miss summer it was just me and you
Left with no time after traveling and school
Despite all the blessings, life's hard
People's expectations got me painting over scars
You're so inspiring you're gonna change the world!
I’m showing all your videos to my little girl
I'm losing myself to my cause
I'm no hero, I have many flaws
Sacrifices I've given for the life I've been living, fighting for the children I'm fighting the odds
This shit's been tough
Sacrificed a lot and it's still not enough
So when the world gets heavy and the days get long
I find myself getting lost in these songs
Lost in your smile, lost in my thoughts
There's magic in my music and my music's all I got
Except for you
Verses written in my book always written in blu
Ink, scribbled on my page
Pray my light won't die when the sun fades
Blu ink, written in my veins
Written for this love of the music I've made
Blu ink, scribbled on my page
Pray my light won't die when the sun fades
Blu ink, written in my name
Written for this love of the music I've made
This music sets me free
There was a fork in the road and I chose my destiny
And I haven't looked back since that day
Cause I can hear the world calling my name
Cause I can hear the world calling my name
Life's been everything but easy
I can see my goals so clearly
My obstacles are all in my head
Keeping all these secrets in the words you never read
Never understood me, why I was depressed
I should be grateful, it doesn't make sense
With this love, and my life, I should feel blessed
Happiness ain't the goal, man it's only a test
Learning everyday, making my mistakes
You gotta let go if you wanna find your way
Giving thanks for the humble beginnings
I still have a long way to go
Throw me to the ocean just to teach me how to swim
Gotta learn to lose if you ever wanna grow
Never let me in, never let me go, I just want a chance, I just wanna know
Who am I to you, who will I become
Will I escape the person that I'm running from
Will I escape the person that I’m running from
Blu ink, scribbled on my page
Pray my light won't die when the sun fades
Blu ink, written in my veins
Written for this love of the music I've made
Blu ink, scribbled on my page
Pray my light won't die when the sun fades
Blu ink, written in my name
For the music I've made
Blu ink

I love SNRK so much! I dig every LP they've dropped to date, but Snotty Nose Rez Kids is still my favorite record. I love the old-school sound ❤️ nisemikol
