Description: Host Andrew Rea reads another excerpt from "Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitman.

sorry i kind of disappeared for a bit, i've been struggling with low confidence really bad but i'm trying to push through and keep uploading original songs, I think I'm finally starting to find my voice a little bit better and hopefully am improving

Lyrics:

Markings on the wall, do you ever gaze back at me?
Do you try to make something out of nothing?
Do you ever dream that I'm dying in your arms?
Do you dream that you can do something about it?

Under the cloud cover, just me and the dirt
Our faces meet, three inches apart
Familiar scent of the home of worms and prayers
Like the ones I used to uproot when I was too young to care 

I took everything i could carry in my hands
I called you my home as I ripped apart your limbs
How fast the color fled right from your form
I burned you alive just to keep me warm

You're the only thing thats made me feel at home
Inside my skin, inside of my own bones
You're the only thing thats made me feel at home
Inside my skin, inside of my own bones

bones - original song

Lyrics:

Slugging around yet another day
Someone said I’ve changed
But I still feel the same

Lost half my accent
Why would I still have it?
Someone said I’ve changed
I guess I have in ways
But still, I’ve got my

Bad habits
Bad habits
Oh, my
Bad habits
My bad habits
Oh, my

Got myself angry again today
Man, I hoped I’d changed
But maybe I’m the same

Slouch my way through an open door
Privilege sure talks
And it knows my name
(And it knows)
And it knows my

Bad habits
Bad habits
Oh, my
Bad habits
My bad habits
Oh, my

I’m a creature of habit
Mm, I can’t hack it
I’m a creature of habit, oh no

(Bad)
Bad

Habits

Modify and make changes
Photoshop and crop the image
Permanence is scary

Bad Habits

who knows (voice memo)

hotter sadness - elvis depressedly

i got a keyboard for christmas so decided to record this song that's been in my inner world for a while, hope you enjoy <3

you are my star
and i know that stars die
some in an instant 
others a slow fire

some go out screaming
some with a smile
but I hope that you 
burn for a long while

i'll feed you with my breath 
and needles from the pine
i pray to an angel 
to keep you alive

when i think of you leaving 
i just want to cry
i dont want your light
to go out before mine

star - original song

one of my final independent projects! pulled all of these from my voice memo

Leaves of Grass (Part 2) by Walt Whitman

false-romantic

i guess you’re clueless of this
i have this one puzzle piece
and you’re quite euphemistic 
well, darling that’s fantastic

the magnet’s not attracted
you’re dull and false-romantic
as potent as what’s given.
forfeited so this would end

you’ve been pushing me away
oh how it feels to be replaced
yes, i’ve solved your ways, and i know
you’d choose life and you’d choose to go

but things have stood still for you
not quite sure if it’s all true
the reasons may be so few
but looks like you’ve thought this through

false romantic
