Walking here alone With my daddy next to me Don’t know where we’re going Hope today I get some sleep Suffocating in this cage The don’t care ‘bout my age Feeling shitty every day Hope to get some food Why did we leave home today? Can’t my friends come out and play? Why are you so sad? Did you want mommy instead? Every trust I had, is gone like our shed I miss you so much Why didn’t you come with us? Why did we leave home today? Can’t my friends come out and play? Why do people hate so much Can’t you see that my home is gone? What did we do wrong? Expecting everyone to bleed…..

Here on the water is a nice place to be Surrounded by friends, what a beautiful scenery My boat is rocking, and I like this sound Fishing for coins, is what we found Diving in the water, hiding what I really feel You see us laughing, but you know this isn’t real How do we feed us, without this place? With the coins that are holy, they give us a change Leave us, we’re barely holding on See us, I’m begging you You see joy and happiness, but really we are on our own No parents guiding us, so we are grasping straws… Leave us, we’re barely holding on See us, I’m begging you Feed us, we’re starving to death Help me, There’s no escape from this Funding this starvation deep inside feeling agitated all the time Depletion is not helping me at all Struggling to withhold my fall You are not emphatic toward us Even we’re not asking for that much Nobody is helping us at all Struggling to withhold our fall Life is no friend of mine I’ve seen too much Shadows are taking over My dream are gone Help me… Kill me…

Do you think it’s okay, that I took your dreams away? Do you think that it is fair, that I shot you from the air? Don’t know even know your name. It sounds insane Do you think that I am bad? Or do you think I ever had the life you created for yourself?

We started out, when we were young I came new to this town And I thought you were my friend But things shifted as we grew up You moved elsewhere, and I was stuck In this place You were gone, while having fun And I was here for you to fear Atrocity, in my mind Can’t escape, feeling tired Leave my mind sometimes Leave my mind sometimes Hateful, towards my love Gruesome, thoughts I have Leave my mind sometimes Leave my mind sometimes I am calm now don’t be scared I moved for you, but you left It’s okay…. I’ll stay here I think of you, and I love you Sorry I was ungrateful I didn’t mean to. I saw you with someone else I’m sorry but she has to burn Atrocity, in my mind Can’t escape, feeling tired Leave my mind sometimes Leave my mind sometimes Hateful, towards my love Gruesome, thought I have Leave my mind sometimes Leave my mind sometimes Leave my mind sometimes Leave my mind sometimes

Walking down this road, expect a change of scenery But alas, it’s the same story you will see Hiding away, in my own reality Now that I am sure, I’m not meant here to be Fighting a war, is how it really feels/seems It’s hard to explain, but it comes down on me Everything I do is to keep you away from thee But now that I’m sure, you’re not meant here to be
8.
It’s striking fast, I didn’t see that one coming I thought I would last, not gonna happen to me no, no, no My posture has changed, I’m not the same Not feeling ashamed, of the stuff I will do to you To you Expressing feelings in my present state I know it’s easier to embrace the change Pushing you away, didn’t seem strange Today all is great, but I still remember those days Recovering, will take all my life it seems But I can’t discard, the day that I stopped The day that I stopped The day that I stopped The day that I stopped Expressing feelings in my present state I know it’s easier to embrace the change Dazed, Numb, Callous, Empty, Stunned, Dead Inside Panic, Attack, Stress, Feeling Ashamed, Paralyzed I am burned out now, can’t turn it around This will be the day I stopped
9.
Time moves so slow, when you’re young Days don’t seem to matter, but they do You don’t seem to care at all, when you’re older The past will bring you down Yes it will You It's all about You There’s only You You It's all about You There’s only You And, it started in the early days
10.
Choices I made today, will catch up with me The next couple of years will be tough on us These days It's a way of me, to stay afloat Softening the incident, through repeat The chemicals are numbing me, but not enough Ripples are growing, please make it stop. Cause I'm stuck Cannot stop the atrocity, from rising Feeding away at me, exhausting Normal feels like a stranger My fondest memories, I can't think of one Everything ends and start the same I can't continue like this I need to make amends Cannot stop the atrocity, from rising Feeding away at me, exhausting Cannot stop the atrocity It is taking over me These days you break away from me I find it difficult to see But now I've come to stay with you But you want nothing to do with me I am ashamed to see you How can I take your pain away Can we turn back time this once? Because I just can't live without you hon!
11.
You won’t hear me, enough You won’t see me, enough I will not be here, today Please don’t ask me to stay You won’t feel me, these days Please don’t count on me, for some time Expecting nothing in return from you ‘Cause you should expect something from me This darkness inside of me is working through I feel this energy burning a hole – inside Feeling the loneliness, when having this pain Unable to communicate, feeling ashamed of this Darkness, why do I lie? Darkness, I feel inside My feelings are set in stone, so I feel I want to end it all, stopping this pain Maybe I need help… But people are rejecting me, these days Maybe I’m a fool for letting people go I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know Darkness, why do I lie? Darkness, I feel inside Darkness, why do I lie? Darkness, take my life Take my life Take my life Take my life Darkness

about

Most people that know me will expect an guitar oriented album, which 'Leave My Mind Sometimes' is not. Sure, my guitar playing is present, and I wrote most of it with a guitar in my hands, which is my main instrument after all. But I wanted it to be an album that's about stories and music. Not about the instruments per se. I really focused on the stories i wanted to tell, and song's musical aspects. Also, I didn't shy away from being inspired by the music and artists that I like.

I started writing song's at the end of 2018, but It wasn't until the beginning of 2019 that I realised that it could be an album. It took quite some time to learn everything that I needed to know to record and mix it myself and to get this right. But after 2 years of writing, recording and mixing the album it's finally here.
I look back on it now with gratitude and I'm happy I pushed through. I hope you'll enjoy it!
