12th song for February Album Writing Month, second part of a two-parter with my other track "The Night Before..." Essentially a continuation of the themes, about growing and moving on and accepting that where you are isn't going be where you always are. A little more hopeful, a little prettier, but still a little off.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Far
Away from the lights,
Away from the noises,
Is a quiet little town.

There,
In the back of a car,
From the passenger mirror,
Is a tree falling down.

Let go,
It's done and dusted,
And though it lingers,
It's just the shape of where you've been.

Come home someday,
Worn and rusted,
And trace the scripture back to the source,
With dirty fingers.
And everything changes.

Verse 2:

Daydreams,
Of growing too old, too fast,
With the hound on my heels, at last,
Yeah, they're pulling me astray.

One day,
When I'm dead and I'm gone,
All the things that I've known, all that I've done,
Will be lost to the waves.

I'm up
For a few more hours,
Til the hum of the silence
Is all that I hear.

I'm done
With pity and mercy;
When the sun also rises,
I'll kill it with kindness.

And everything changes.
And everything changes.
And everything changes.
And everything changes.

lyrics: 

the world

is sick 

the children

cannot live 

we watch through blood stained screens 

as we witness their screams 


cries for peace 

met with bombs 

bodies under debris 

no dignity 

we watch with blood stained hands 

as we witness the stolen land 


the mothers 

find their sons 

by shoes

no place to run 

we've watched through blood stained years 

but for those in power 

the end draws near

Blood Stained Shoes

Billy’s Gorilla

Perfect

Obtuse

Janurary

The war, behind us

Arise

2 am acoustic one track one take session about some shit that just will not! leave me! the fuck! alone! wrote the lyrics & decided to just wing it on the melody. a cathartic 13 minutes. 

trying to figure out where my vocals are after a few months of mostly being on rest cause of all the surgery n shit :/ want to try to get back to where i was before 50/90 rolls around so i dont have to worry about breaking myself again when i cant seem to do anything except write and sing and write and sing and write and..... yk the drill. looking forward to it

lyrics:
flesh forsaken 

apostate 

resolution 

no way to stay 

desperation 

fallen state 


i pray 

take it all away 



of his body

of his blood 

watch it run 

down my face 

bent to mercy 

bent to stay 


so i pray 

take it all away 


resurrection 

skin under my nails 

witness 

no way to say 

consecration 

his will prevail 

still i pray 

take it all away 




dripping down 

life of death 

bitter herb 

sour breath 

sorrows counted 

more than stars 

lowly one 

taken for woe 


{think i kinda went rogue at this point hopefully these are close lol} 

i pray 

take it all away 

his blood

will wash it all away 

his blood 

wash me all away 

wash me all away 

i don't want to stay 

his blood will

wash me all away

please don't make me 

stay

PRATOR  I

went rogue with the lyrics but here's what i had written down -

I. 
wash me clean, 
wash it down, 
old hands so mean,
i hope i drown 
wash me clean 

II.
water and flashbacks flood my mind, pull me down the drain 

III. 
where has my body gone? 
i cannot find it
where has my body gone? 
i cannot find 
my mind

Wash Me Clean (demo) 5/9.24.1

Singer/songwriter from Canada. I have a few other pages (some I lost access to), but this one is for my main projects. I make no presumptions with genres, so I'll go with "Indie Rock Artist", which, yeah, is the most indie thing you can say. Music is Life, Happiness, Creativity, yada yada yada. Can't live without it. Hope you at least mildly enjoy what I love making!
