- I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear

- I saw a rainbow earlier today
Lately those rainbows be comin' round like everyday
Deep in the struggle I have found the beauty of me
God is watchin' and the Devil finally let me be
Here in this moment to myself- "A Moment to Myself" (co-written with Jeremy Ruzumna, Miles Tackett. Mark Morales, and Damon Wimbley)
- I still
Light up like a candle burnin when he calls me up
I still
Melt down like a candle burnin everytime we touch
Oh say what you will
He does me wrong and I should be gone
I still
Be lovin you baby and it's much too much- Still" (co-written with Jeremy Ruzumna, Bill Esses, Jeff Blue) - YouTube video

Could be perfect, like the light — Jesus for a night and have
