Demo - deafening waves

lyrics

Ive been walking, walking for some time
My feet are dragging, and I know why
Hyper-fixation, motivation, are the things that pass my time
& theres people around me, but the space feels quiet

& I can go down this road Ive been walking down by myself
I can tell where it goes, and I can tell how it ends
Or If I get brave and I walk away to the space where I feel safe
Will I be able to breathe for the first time or will i drown in the waves

I keep talking to myself, wondering if Ill ever set me free
Cause the people around me feel lovely
but they're not really my speed
& If I'd just fucking turn around and walk towards the beach
The faint whispers of the waves may become deafening

& I can go down this road Ive been walking down by myself
I can tell where it goes, and I can tell how it ends
Or If I get brave and I walk away to the space where I feel safe
Will I be able to breathe for the first time or will i drown in the waves

& I can picture running on the beach
It's so close yet so extreme
But this path that Im walking is all I know,
It's what is easy

But I can go down this road,
I can tell where it goes...

I can go down this road
I've been walking by myself
I can tell where it goes, I can tell how it ends
But if I get brave and I run away to hear the ocean waves
Will aIbe able to jump in
or will I drown in the waves

Deafening Waves - DEMO

lyrics

This was too predictable, too coded
I needed black and white, you bled me grey
To win the banter, you lost the game
To act 'your cool', you pushed me away

Darlin, this was never gonna work
We both knew it from the beginning
But you took my rearranged stars
& acted like you were indifferent
But those stars lit up my sky 
& now the dark consumes my eyes...

The distance felt like 1000 miles
An unrealistic daydream, that
kept me walking through the fire
But love, these ashes burned me alive

Darlin, this was never gonna work
We both had hope in the beginning 
But you completely rearranged my stars 
& acted like you were indifferent
But your stars lit up  my sky
& I needed you in my life

The spark, the fire, my life in flames
The gas, the passion burned everything in grace
The realization of my life without your face

I speak my mind, you say 'okay'
I give you love, you turn me away
Then blame me for the shit you say

Darlin, I really hoped this worked
The love I had in the beginning
You completely rearranged my stars
& acted like it was nothing
Darlin, this was never gonna work
We both knew it from the beginning
But you took my rearranged stars
& acted like you were indifferent
But those stars lit up my sky 
& now the dark consumes my eyes...
