Balcony 04:23
(Verse 1) You know they say it's like the movies She never knew me That's a false love(x2) And I make mistakes You wanna sue me? And my heart it breaks But tell me who sees It's a new me and I'm frustrated What's this creation I'm caught up in my own imagination (Chorus) I'm caught up in my mind(my mind) I'm running out of time I lost track of time And they're waiting outside for me(outside) Please don't cry Don't cry as I die willingly (Verse 2) Where did you go? I never left What was my secret that you never kept? And now I'm still, no I can't move But I've got nothing, I got nothing left to lose So I'll go and don't you follow me I said I'll go, you don't me any apology Oh, my hands together My knees in the ground They say angels whisper but I don't hear a sound No response (Chorus) I'm caught up in my mind(my mind) I'm running out of time I lost track of time And they're waiting outside(outside) I'm not okay this time Everybody's lying(tell me who's telling the truth?) It's not okay this time I'm caught up in my mind I misread the signs (I'm caught up in my mind)

Gloria 02:50
(Verse 1) The spotlight follows where you go And every man here wants a chance with you But nobody's watching for the moment So maybe you and I can dance (Chorus) Gloria Come dance with me I want more of ya So addicting (Verse 2) I hope they tell you that you're lovely Not just a beauty dressed in black With God as my witness just above me Your soul is vibrant that's a fact (She's something like a crack rock she's got me in shock) Addictive, yes, indeed I will overdraw my credit card to make her dance with me (Chorus) (Verse 3) She can move, she can move (yeah) She can groove, she can groove (yeah) Ain't no way, ain't no way I can keep up with you And when there's nothing left to say I let the saxophone just play (Chorus)

Gloria II 01:29
Gloria Come dance with me I want more of ya So addicting Gloria in excelsis deo, deo(x2) Glory to God for this kind girl Glory to God for this kind of love Glory to God for this kind of girl Glory to God for this kind of love

(Verse 1) I was lonely one day out, viewing you You were, feathered high and unusual I pretended to fly - it was amusing you You flew closer, it was through for you I said do you wanna see the cage? I wasn't planning to let you out You saw the view and you settled down There's my house, no, there's my house I told the valet to keep the keys - Why would you drive if you have wings? Laughing cause you didn't get the joke My nigga said that's when I should've known (Chorus) Girl you don't understand You're so beautiful Whenever you're here I'm under your control But you just stare, outta my window So, I always let you go (Verse 2) But you come back again Say you ain't planning to let me out I said so tell me where have you been? You say it's nothing to stress about You need the key to the cage and money You say that you'll only be a few Don't know when you're coming back again - Stuck in here, like a fool (Chorus) You're so beautiful If you come back I'm ready to roll For now I'll stare, outta my window Hoping one day you'll let me go

(Verse 1) Mayday! Mayday! Wow The future's looking like "he say, she say" - nah I don't wanna stay in the same place I'm in now And I hope you know I just wanna make you proud My juice box is half full We're walking home on a Tuesday after school I wasn't looking and almost spilled my shit That's when she looks at me with this big face grin (Chorus)(x2) She said, "I wanna go to Paris." That's when I drank from my juice box again She said, "But one day day you'll be famous, baby. And we'll have tea upon the rooftops of France." (Verse 2) The nightmares seem so real Turn this hell into lovely poppy fields I feel the fear and its got me up all night I try to dream but I'm afraid of heights (Bridge) La-la-la la la la-la-la(x2) (Verse 3) How do you like your tea, baby? Hot with sugar please But I'm not famous yet She says to me, "Just believe and you'll forget." (Chorus)(x2)
7.
Exit Song 01:38
(Verse 1) There's someone out there who loves you And there's someone out there who cares The weight of the world on your shoulders I know it just ain't fair (Chorus) But I've got a song that I'll sing for you If you promise me you'll remove the noose I can be honest I've been there too The only way out is the way through I've got a song that I'll sing to you If you promise me you won't kick the stool There will be bad days, some will be good The only way out is the way through (Verse 2) I know sometimes you feel lonely Like you're the only one who feels pain If you'd just smile for a moment You'd see the sun shine after the rain (Chorus)
8.
Horizon 02:05
(Intro) 1,2,3,4(Alright, alright) 5,6,7,8...8,9,10! (Verse 1) I fell in love again Then winter came And took my closest friend But there'll be better days (Chorus) Indiana summers don't last long But the sky blue waves of lake Michigan Make me miss that old sweet horizon way back home Ain't nothing like that Midwest horizon way back home (Verse 2) I fell in ice again Then summer came And melted all my pain Now I see better days (Chorus)
9.
Prove 02:20
(Verse 1) I'll walk on the left side so you'll stay dry That coat don't look warm enough, you can have mine I sight two birds on the roof snuggled close like they're trying to smooch. And eye sight, although you may be fooled, doesn't accurately see things through (Chorus) I've got something to prove (x2) (Verse 2) I said I liked her hair, she said she liked my stare She said, "I like your tattoo." I said, "I like you too." I said, "I'm dipped in love glue because I am stuck on you." She said, "That's cheesy." I said, "you're cheesy." She says "You need me." I said, "I thought this would be easy, Please let me down easy, I'm not too good with bee stings." She says, "You can read me." Her aorta was in pieces, tidbits. Believe me, I'll fix it. (Chorus) Aw yeah (x2) Aw yeah, alright(x3) I said let me be the one to make you smile (Bridge) I wanna prove that good guys are still around Let's make these good times, the good vibes are rocking loud (Chorus) I've got nothing to lose, but I've got something to prove What I got baby? You see what you made me do? I guess I'm playing the fool

about

This is the very first project written and produced on my own. After years and years of attempting to write with no success, something finally clicked and this album is the result. I want to say thank you to everyone who continued to encourage me even when I wasn't content with my work. I really appreciate all of you and I hope you enjoy this.

- Brandon
