Open Hearted

(álbum: Layers Of Reflection - 2016)

You know
It's funny
A lot of you take the time
To write me these long
Long messages about
What you're going through
And your struggles
And you ask me
How do you write down these words
To describe exactly what I'm feeling
And the answer is: I don't
I don't
I don't know you
I don't know any of you
But
It makes me happy that you can connect to what I'm saying
Because I'm just a 20 year old kid with a pen
Who just writes about anything he goes through
And
I've been stressing about doing this this intro
Because I don't want to
I don't want to give you rehearsed lines
And
A cover of something
I don't know
I just wanted to talk to you
And maybe I should've wrote something down
Maybe this doesn't sound as good as I thought it would be
I want you to know me
I want you to be able to listen to my music and be like:
I know this guy
He's a cool guy
I don't know
There's a lot of things I wish I could take back
But that's
That's not how life works
So I wrote it down in
In hopes
To help one of you
To tell you things will be okay
My name is Ivan
I'm from the Bay Area
And these are my Layers of Reflection
