Nice, neat little synopsis of the past twenty years of my life.

Desperate Measures
Holly Kirsten
August 2019

I’ve made a lot of promises I couldn’t keep
I’ve paid a lot of money, lost a bit more sleep
I walked away with nothing from the battleground
I may have lost a fortune, but my heart has been found

My friends keep telling me these wounds will heal
I will press on until I seal this deal

Desperate times call for desperate measures
I’ve done some things that I regret
But someday I’ll be back on my feet again
In all life’s pain and all life’s pleasures
There’ve been some faces I’d rather forget
But someday I’ll be back on my feet again

I’ve lived in boxes and I’ve lived with bones
I’ve cried all night ‘cause I just wanna go home
Parted ways with friends I never meant to lose
But I’ve found a freedom in the path that I choose

Please don’t send your prayers for me
I’ve spent a lifetime on my own knees
I’m making changes in what I see, what I see
To help free others who were caged like me

Holly Kirsten Virginia Beach, Virginia

I have been singing, creating new songs, and playing stringed instruments for as long as I can remember. I love sharing music with others and have played with several local bands in the Hampton Roads region.

I also produce my own music. All the songs that you hear are, with the exception of a few special appearances, my own creation. ... more
