Siren Song

If I sank down in the deep blue,
you said you’d swim to the reef to follow me too.
But when the tide carried me away from my ship,
I couldn’t find an anchor, no rail for my grip
As I hang on floating at the edge of the world,
my voice tries to reach you, but I go unheard
And I seem to fall in the water,
and I can’t make a single sound.
If you only listened to my voice, the siren’s song,
you could see through the wave, you’d see I was there, I was there all along
Without a guide or light, I sail through the fog
to find all the pieces of this broken heart.
But I can’t place my feet on earth, the ground below
cause I can’t find you wind nor one echo
As I hang on floating at the edge of the world,
my voice tries to reach you, but I go unheard
And I seem to fall in the water,
and I can’t make a single sound.
If you only listened to my voice, the siren’s song,
you could see through the wave, you’d see I was there, I was there all along
After a couple seasons and years, you’ll forget that I was ever here
And I’ll wash away just like the sand and you’ll have taken someone else’s hand
And I seem to fall in the water,
and I can’t make a single sound.
If you only listened to my voice, the siren’s song,
you could see through the wave, you’d see I was there, I was there all along

Girl in The Shadow

Everybody tells her she's beautiful
She doesn't try to flaunt it wherever we go
She believes she's lost her soul
Even when I tell her she's everything and more.
She'll sigh and cry and return to her room with only one candle in the gloom.
Oh, I'd give anything to see the girl in the shadow,
Just to see her face and hear her speak low.
I don't know where will we be,
But I'll take the chance just to say she's with me.
She'll sit in Central Park all day, peering out into society.
Always writes her thoughts down on pedals or leaves
I could watch her through the Square
Just to count all the gold streams that I see in her hair.
She'll put on that hat just to cover her face
As if she were gone without a trace
Oh, I'd give anything to see the girl in the shadow,
Just to see her face and hear her speak low.
I don't know where will we be,
But I'll take the chance just to say she's with me.
Step into the sun
Your moment has just begun
And just notice everything you do
Is the entire reason why I'm obsessed with you.
Oh, I'd give anything to see the girl in the shadow,
Just to see her face and hear her speak low.
I don't know where this will go,
But I'll take the chance so I can finally know.
And we'll sit in Central Park in the rain, in the rain
Just come outside, so you will be with me

The stars are out, the sun is gone
And they all agree, it’s time to move on
The winds have changed, the time is near,
but the road I take won’t have you here.
But they said, long ago, the heart does have a home
No matter where we are
Through the fears and scars
I’ll be your wings, when earth will pull you down
It’s not the last goodbye,
like the birds in flight, just call my name and see
That you can reach for me
We lit some sparks into the night
and we laughed until there was no moonlight
We wove some circles through this town
and they’re built so strong that they can’t break down
Though the train is on the track, you don’t have to look back
No matter where we are
Through the fears and scars
I’ll be your wings, when earth will pull you down
It’s not the last goodbye,
like the birds in flight, just call my name and see
That you can reach for me
Take one step now, please don’t look down
You must know I’m with you toe to toe
No matter where we are
Through the fears and scars
I’ll be your wings, when earth may pull you down
It’s not the last goodbye,
like the birds in flight, just call my name and see
That you can reach for me

Jake was at a personal and artistic crossroads when he wrote his latest body of work, collectively known as Broken Stars. “I decided that the songs on this record should tie into themes of the psyche and the human spirit,” the NYC-based artist details. He continues: “Today, I’m open to showing all the aspects of my life, including my queerness.” ... more
