Inside (Original)

I wrote a song about the least fun person I've ever met. Even though I don't think he deserves to have a song about him, this was fun to make. I'm glad I got something constructive out of the time I had to spend with him.

Lyrics:

Oh, Mr. Joyless, is there anything to do?
Tell another joke, I'll laugh this time, I swear (Hahahaha, oh no!)
Oh, Mr. Joyless, keeping all his numbers few (Too bad, oh!)
Forever married to his disposition, it's
Never enough to shut up, it's a bust everywhere

Mr. Joyless

This song was recorded on Feb. 9th, 2017 with one of my awesome friends Rose Barrett! I haven't posted in a while and found this hidden gem while I was searching through old memories. Enjoy :)

Call It Off (Duet W. Rose)

Paper Thin Reins
Written by Matt Portland

What ever happened to the hunger
The water in the well had dried
When you could not find
The point or voice of reason

Don’t take away my everything 
I only planned on having this
Given half the chance
I’d run the risk of ruin

But when your eyes adjust to the dark
When you’ve been in it too long
Three years roll into one

When you cannot separate the months
Being pulled away
By the Paper Thin Reins

It’s all in your own head
You know this
No matter how much time you find to ask them why
The words will never fit the tune

A quick change of pace,
A practise swing, 
Could take your mind off of everything
The sweet uncertainty of colouring the blue

Well maybe I didn’t want to find what’s wrong
Or see the miles on the clock
If I knew I could never rest

When you cannot recognise yourself 
Being pulled away
By the Paper Thin Reins

Whilst the coals stay warm
Under sombre skies
I will try
To break
From the Paper Thin Reins
