Name: I Saved The Whales
Duration: P00H03M05S
Description: Essentially, I wanted to write a song that summed up all of my songs this past 2-3 years. I wanted to have closure over my transition,my move, my relationships, and my family; all issues that have continued to find their way into my music. It feels good to end it on this note.

lyrics

its been three years with a chip on my shoulder
saying bad things about the ones i love
family is so complicated, but i really wanna rise above it

i dont wanna sing sad trans songs anymore
in the life, theres gotta something more, something so much more
i wanna be an optimistic soul, i have so so long to go
but id rather try, than get stuck spinning the same old same old,
the same old songs.

its been three years id like to say i changed
changed my face, my body, or maybe just my name
i can pray for change but its the same me everyday

its been three years, what have i learned
when the relationships bad, its time to burn
all the photographs delete the path at the source

theres a place and theres a time, to sing sad songs and have a cry
but i wanna believe im buildin on something here
a hurting heart, a long sigh, broken strings, still i try
i wanna believe im building on something here
