Just a bunch of songs by Benson

First demo living room take of new song Half Cigarette. The song has nothing to do directly with smoking.
133 bpm

Lyrics
oh when you came my way, i was lost in this disease, shackled at the knees
then you say my name, it melts my heart away, our romantic caberet 

they've beaten me with their cardinal sins, no false promises our new life begins, no more lonsome nights alone again, make peace with you and lay here

tied up all the loose split ends, felt like the movie would never end, let the fairy tail begin, then we can forget about it

we can leave the past behind us


Chorus
Let's put out those old flames
start that fire again 
this time we both win
take the chance while it's happening

We learn to walk again
this time hand in hand
I've got both to lend
and do away with all this canceling 


Verse

I cannot believe how they spoke to me and how they spoke of me with their boring ass chats
mistaken me for some other chap, enough to make you laugh
they said that they spotted me drunk again, they said I was hitting on all your friends, the goosip with them never seems to end I'm not the kind who's cheating
envy is not about winning in the end, their ignorance is never justified again, they said I was still good as friends but then I never knew them 
Now we're free to move beyond it

(we can leave the past behind us)

Chorus

Let's put out those old flames
start that fire again 
this time we both win
take the chance while it's happening

We learn to walk again
this time hand in hand
I've got both to lend
and do away with all this canceling 



Solo


Chorus
(we will live again)
Put out those old flames
start that fire again 
this time we both win
take the chance while it's happening

We learn to walk again
this time hand in hand
I've got both to lend
and do away with this canceling 

Put out those old flames
start that fire again 
this time we both win
and I cant believe this is happening
Let's take the chance while it's happening

We learn to walk again
this time hand in hand
I've got both to lend
and do away with this canceling

What was it for is the first song written for the Caught between the twisted set.

Caught between the twisted lines

benson.caughtbetweenthetwisted.whatwasitfor(v.1.0)

Rounding up the final songs for the Caught between the twisted set, this is witness. The song is about having schizophrenia.

Lyrics

Verse

Settled in upon a nightcap for the evening, and there's no one around, not a sound

hear some voices say I'm cruising for a beating, and it's the word around town 

got the courage to head out and save the weekend, want to hear some new sounds

witnessed twice and still I couldn't find the beacon, another lost and one found, picked from the ground

I hear that they're coming for me 

Chorus

disgraced, displaced, thrown out and that's how I learned to live tomorrow 
shitfaced, mistakes, it's not my scene so remind me how I lived in sorrow 

Verse

What's that sound when I can't hear my heart beating, more threats to throw down

Meet in the middle there's a diplomat awaiting,  make peace play the clown

misunderstanding got the best of all the people, no more confusion today, anyway

say your sorry but forget about forgiveness, another lost and one found, picked from the ground

I hear that they're coming for me 

Chorus

disgraced, displaced, thrown out and that's how I learned to live without it 
shitfaced, mistakes, it's not my scene remind me to forget about it

Caught between the twisted

It's not literally wishing death on someone, but it's that feeling you get when someone burned you and broke a promise or trust. Recorded in 2011.

Welcome! These are some of my home recordings accompanied by tracks played by some of my friends on soundcloud. 

I have played music most of my life and these are my demos. I'm originally a drummer.

I typically stick with the first or second take so it's sloppy. I play the instruments and sing. I'm more of a songwriter than an instrumentalist and I don't have the patience to replay parts over and over again.

If you like any of the songs and you might want to play, repost and/or record them, go for it! I'm not concerned about protecting copyrights. Let's collaborate.

You can listen to me on drums at https://soundcloud.com/rocketstomars. I posted additional songs on myspace but I think they got nuked when myspace got nuked: http://www.myspace.com/bensonwrightmusic. Like me on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/bensonwrightmusic and please help me figure out a way to get more songs better recorded.

Thanks for listening!
