Most of my songs in their unofficial form.

All Songs

Oh, yeah.
You've got me right where you want me to be.
Lonely and scared
And honestly, it's working.

I'm so lost in your world
And I'll tell you I'm feelin' it all of the time
All the time.

Frisk me, and never mind me again.
I'm risking everything that I am.
I'm so ashamed.
So ashamed.
It's too painful to stand.

This helpless sense of my emptiness
There's more to it than I'd care to admit.

We're down this old road again,
Where nothing seems to make any sense;
And everything I do is followed by a fright.
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or it's right.
The fact of disaster is that it's not on your time

Frisk Me (Full Concept w/Vocal)

Lyrics: 

I know this is stupid. 
I know this is stupid.
But, I don't know where to start.
From the all of my heart.
I love you to pieces. 
I love you to pieces.
I know you love me, too

Why can we pretend to hesitate?
We tend to make mistakes.

If you honestly believe we'd never be the same.
I will walk away right now.
But, I'll tell you this, I'll only say it once;
I was always there, I just lost where I was along the way.

I am not afraid to be ashamed.
The way that I was; I'll never be again.
The loneliest thing is that I miss your face.
It roams through my thoughts and dances in my dreams.

I know that we've been apart for far too long
To know where to even begin.
So, I'm saying this as a friend
I'm always here; just let me know when.

Letter To An Old Friend (Full Concept w/Vocal)

Lyrics:
I feel like an outcast amongst my own friends
Sometimes,  it gets to me. But its all the same.
I know that everything is right in it's own way.
Sometimes, it gets to me. But it's all the same.

Everyday.
Everyday is the same old thing
What can I say?
Well, can I say I wouldn't change a thing?
I'm on top of the world 
Won't ever fall down.

It seems like just about every time I close my eyes
All the happiness is there, holding me right
I've been through 
Seen highs
And dealt the lows.
I've bent truth
Told lies
Just for show
Here it goes 

I know that I'm not perfect 
Nor, do I claim to be
The thing is, though
Im not about to give up 
Im not about to give up on myself that easily
That's just not me

And I learn something new every day.
Things that are staring me right in the face.

How to use my words for the better
When to choose to let it go. 
Who is true and those who are weighing me down

Mediocre Highlife

This is not hypocrisy. 
This is me showing you where I bleed. 
The least you can do is hold these down. 
To embrace the truth is to understand. 

You mean to tell me that you don't know what to do? 
But you go on doing things that could ruin you. 
The most I can say is you've let me down. 
The worst of it all is that you don't even know how. 

A word from the wise; a little advice. 
You'd have to be blind or a bit declined 
To ignore these signs 
It's so obvious.  It's so obvious
You're through if you don't get over this soon.

Take It From Me, I've Been There Before

Ignorance is Bliss rough final.

I wish I knew how to look around through blind eyes. 
It's sure to be alright.
Theres a war going on inside;
 I wish I knew how to block out the sound.
Of the voices breathing down my neck, telling me everything isn't okay. 
Is it okay?
I just wanna have one good day without feeling so down about the outside world;
About the outside..

There's no hope in sight.
Might as well hold on to the last thing that I know to be right.
If all else fails, atleast i know I won't give in.
Where's the love, the rationality,
That sort of stuff that you just don't see anymore?
So hung up on belittling anything that doesn't agree. 

I notice that you dont care; as if thinking is overrated. 
I guess that this is so long. But, I promise you its not anticipated. 

You've got to be kidding me. I thought you really were.
I guess 'to each his own' means nothing to you
I bet that you don't know and pretend that you do.
And honestly it's sickening when you try to prove that you were right all along.

Ignorance Is Bliss

lyrics:
I may not have thought this all the way through.
One thing's for certain and that's that I've already 
imagined the worst.

I don't wanna go there and if you ain't gunna listen,
It's not my fault.

I think there might be a misunderstanding,
I'm not standing where I was before.
I'm stuck here in the middle of this room
With all that I've ever ignored. 
Honestly, it's just hurting my self.
The more that I let slip away.
Its a waste, I'd say, 
To watch it go and fade.
It's not okay

I'm hoping that you know that you have crossed the line with me.
I never asked for my "Ever After"
I just want some peace.
Maybe one day. 
If only this day
I'll know what a quiet mind may be.

Imagine The Worst (capo 2)

Reasonable writing vocal draft

A draft for brainstorming on the go. writing lyrics, designing structure.

Lyrics so far:

You only need me when you don't have someone else around
Can you tell me sincerely
That you hold me dearly?

Reasonable writing demo

I don't even know what my mind is doing
But I won't dare fight back.
I'll admit that I've tried once or twice
Maybe, even a few times.
I didn't expect it to stick like it did.
And now I'm caught in the moment 
With some of human natures worst.

What means nothing to you could be all that's in between
This force of habit is so much deeper.
But, hey, you know what they say, 
"Some people never learn".
Slowly, but, surely this world will disappear.
And it pains me say its gunna be alright.

I'm OK with this. 
There's no comfort in supposed to be.
I always thought but I did not see.
Its a wonder how I ever got out 
I've grown so used to how it holds me down

On the left is a worried bum
To the right is a silly little fantasy
He's in mid-laughter, its so easy to see
Though, let's not take it personal
And don't leave it be
There's rhyme to the reason just as there's a world outside bigger than yours.

Force Of Habit Demo

Mr No Name Listen Edit

Today, as I was heading out
I lost my way
To my surprise, I noticed there was something on the horizon. 
so, short of feeling nothing
I relied on my own eyes

but I was lied to.
these circles in my head,
They don't like to
be worth it in the end 

so, whats the plan?
where we going after this?
they're calling for rain.
 but, they're always so full of shit.
