DESCRIPTION:
My friend Lilia gave me a poem when I couldn't write and was blocked, I added a few words, chords and melody and played around with it, it became this trashy song that I kinda love now! This video was recorded in my friend's backyard in San Diego, California.

Here are the Lyrics:

Words Withheld
Oxygen when you can't breathe
Speechless when you want to sing
Moments lost that you can't trade
An empty bed in which you lay

Darkness fades don't be afraid
It's time to let go of your pain
Embrace the uncertainty
Enjoy life, just be free

Words so simple to say aloud
Carry volumes in their sounds
A piercing sun ray may come through
Scare off those eerie clouds if gloom

The one truth you were never told
Is that to gain you have to fold
Pride when it involves the heart
As no other role than to corrupt
