my life in d minor

About Me

i'm liz. when you hear my songs, they are insight to me. they are doors into the darkness the lingers under the big blue eyes and the broad smile. the lyrics are hints at who i am and what my life has been thus far. the misery and the agony, the joy and the sorrow. i often find myself trapped inside of my head.....i suffer. then at the breaking point, i sing my way out.enjoy my music......my tale. liz
