When I Close My Eyes

Why Do I Never Cry

From the Morning (Nick Drake cover)

The great big elk
Stamps his hoof
And yells into the cold air fog is forming

He don't know his own strength
Cause when you live among the mighty trees
Its easy to feel small

You got to get away
After this, you’ll be missed
Leave it all behind
Its for your own good

Out of air
You appear
I’m reaching out but I cant seem to touch you

I want you
To make me whole
And see beyond what I can see

I’m done crying
I have plenty of time
When I’m dying
I know I’ll be happy

You got to get away
After this you’ll be missed
Leave it all behind

Im just like you
I know you’re hurting too
You cant hear a word I say
But we know we got to

The Elk

So I ended up releasing the song that I had used earlier in the semester, most of what I did was cleaning up the EQing (especially on the drums, although they need some more work) and mastered it. I also added a few extra layers of guitar and added maybe twice as many background vocals. I turned them down so it was subtle but gave the song a fuller sound. I also doubled the guitar solo with a track that is an octave lower about halfway through the solo. The song is mostly about me leaving home (my hometown is Falls Church, Virginia which I name drop) and dealing with adulthood; trying to grow while keeping everything from falling apart. 

I played and produced everything except for the drums which were played by my friend Justin Jen

I'm Only Sleeping (Beatles cover)

CHARM

I've got an idea
A really, really, really, really big idea
Okay just shut the fuck up
You're gonna wanna hear this one
I'm gonna tell you what is up
Cause its coming if you want it
Or not, not not

First you just
Try to open up your mind a little bit
And then close both of your eyes
And stick out your thumb
Are you ready for what's up
Cause its coming if you want it
Or not, not not (And I can tell you hello)

And I can tell you hello my friend
You want the places people go where no one knows
Where all the lame formalities can melt in snow
It don't work out the way it sounds
It's more than anything you'll ever know
Anything you'll ever know

(Put a bag in my face)
(A price tag on your laces)
(Tie your shoe, wipe your ass)
(You failed more than just a class)
(Big break, big body)
(Make it small, get a hobby)
(Then stand tall, fix yourself)
(It means more to move up out here)
(Than anything you’ll ever know)
(Than anything you’ll ever know)
(Than anything you’ll ever know)

I hear good and evil
Sitting on my shoulders, they agree
You weasels get on
Scurry out your hole
Or sit there and rot
Cause I got a little thought
Your God made the people that you hate
and they ain't going away
So I can tell you hello

Jesus would have chased you out the temple
(Jesus chased you fuckers out the temple, Jesus chased you)
Jesus chased you fuckers out the temple, Jesus chased you
(Jesus chased you fuckers out the temple, Jesus chased you)
So what we got left? Don’t lie to yourself again

I’ve got an idea
A really, really, really, really, really, really, really big idea
Okay you you weren’t right
About the big stuff
All your talking but it never was enough
Cause its coming
Yeah, it's here if you want it or not
And I will tell you hello

And I will tell you hello my friend
(Put a bag in my face, A price tag on your laces)
You want the places people go where no one knows
(Tie your shoe, wipe your ass, you failed more than just a class)
Where all the lame formalities can melt in snow
(Big break, big body, make it small, get a hobby)
It don't work out the way it sounds
(Then stand tall, fix yourself, it means more to move up out here)
It's more than anything you'll ever know
(More than anything you'll ever know, anything you'll ever know)
Anything you'll ever know
(Anything you'll ever know)

And I will tell you hello my friend
(Put a bag in my face, A price tag on your laces)
You want the places people go where no one knows
(Tie your shoe, wipe your ass, you failed more than just a class)
Where all the lame formalities can melt in snow
(Big break, big body, make it small, get a hobby)
It don't work out the way it sounds
(Then stand tall, fix yourself, it means more to move up out here)
It's more than anything you'll ever know
(More than anything you'll ever know, anything you'll ever know)
Anything you'll ever know
(Anything you'll ever know)

Hell o

Things are big and small again
Again and they align

You wanna figure it out, boy
You better get in line
TLC ain't gonna do shit around here
Better buckle up, dear
Here it comes

You little shit, you got me talking through my teeth
You wanna fuck around, lie about, run it in the ground
You oughta say something
Spit it out
Two-timing pantomimer sit this one out

'Cause when the water starts rising
And comes to a head
You won't find me waiting long
Climbing over bodies
Trying to get ahead
You're so dead
You're so dead
You're so dead

Things are big and small again
Again and they align

You got your head held high while you stuck
You suck
Nah, don't take me along cause you ain't bringing much
No ones letting it up, but who's carrying what?
Shit, there's nothing left for you dear
Oh, here it comes now

And when the water starts rising
And comes to a head
You won't find me waiting long
And when the fire starts burning
And reaches the top
You won't find me jumping off
And when the bombs go off and all you got is the past
You better live in that rubble
Climbing over bodies
Trying to get ahead
You're so dead
You're so dead
You're so dead

SO DEAD

I want you to smile
In the way you used to
With a word it got took
With a word

Rest assured
In the soul I'll make you
"Make me higher"
I can try but

If I never rise above
At least I'm in the air (See me at the bottom, see me at the bottom)
(See me at the bottom, I'mma see you at the bottom)
We don't need a repeat
Nobody cares (See me at the bottom, see me at the bottom)
At least I'm in the air (See me at the bottom, I'mma see you at the bottom)

The front lasted for awhile
I can't see the rearview
If you want it back, yeah it takes more

Blessings earned, curses burden
It worsens but it made you
And it makes me tired
I can try but

If I never rise above
At least I'm in the air (See me at the bottom, see me at the bottom)
(See me at the bottom, I'mma see you at the bottom)
We don't need a repeat
Nobody cares (See me at the bottom, see me at the bottom)
At least I'm in the air (See me at the bottom, I'mma see you at the bottom)

What you take from me, what you take from me
What you take from me you keep
What you take from me, what you take from me
What you take from me you keep
What you take from me, what you take from me
What you take from me you keep
What you take from me, what you take from me
What you take from me you keep
What you take from me, what you take from me
What you take from me you keep
What you take from me, what you take from me
What you take from me you keep
What'd you take from me, what'd you take from me
What'd you take from me, what'd you take from me
What'd you take from me, what'd you take from me
What'd you take from me, what'd you take from me

If I never rise above (I want you to smile)
In the way you used to (See me at the bottom, see me at the bottom)
(See me at the bottom, I'mma see you at the bottom)
We don't need a repeat (Rest assured)
In the soul I'll make you (See me at the bottom, see me at the bottom)
(See me at the bottom, I'mma see you at the bottom)

What if I took a newer car seat headrest song and made it sound like an old car seat headrest song

cant cool me down (cover) [lofi]

Silently sit by my window
And stare at nothing at all
Wish I could amount to something
But I know where I’m going

God damn me
God damn me

Suffocated in your gaze
Late nights that I gave away
Moving slowly not concerning
The clock has struck the hour

No one friend can watch out for you
Guess I’ll be tasting paper
Falling silent please believe me
When I say seriously

God damn me
God damn me

When you’re feeling everything
All you are is getting older
Shoulder boulders for other people
That you didn’t need to

Happening is happening
Nothing’s stopped and nothing’s changed
Everything was supposed to change
Everything was supposed to change

Yeager

God Damn Me
