The Outlines / 12:44am (Ghost Tapes Version)

A little demo of a song I really like. Reminiscing about being an intern; workplaces can be a pain in the arse sometimes.. 

Dead End (live demo)

A little less singer-songwriter'ish, a little more noisy and loud. Finally my nice little casio SK-5 comes into action. Still a work in progress.. 

LYRICS

Just as you think
You did your best
Well, it's not enough
Again, again, again

Just as you think
You understand
You are very wrong
Misread the signs

Just as you try
And soon you fail
You overdo
You want too much

Just as you try
To fill the blanks
You better let go
Cause soon you'll know..

Things will fall
Things will fall
Things will fall
Into place

Blanks (Demo)

This is a new one, rather slow and sad little piece for Rhodes, bass guitar, a sparse beat and some drones..

LYRICS

When we lie in bed
Dreaming what’s ahead
Please don’t wake me up

And I fall back
A body in bed
And doubts kick in
Decay from within

When I’m on my own
Staring at my phone
Please drop me a line

And I fall back
A body in bed
The organ’s been shed
The lines blur to red

Have you ever felt lost
And it’s not intentional
Let me be the hold
You need

For our lives are too short
And not too exceptional
Let’s just be lost some more
And sink in
all that’s been underneath
These birch trees

In Bed (Rough Mix)

LYRICS

Further away, down the move
You moved me
Further away, dimly lit
You shined
Further away, dimly lit
You blinded me
Further way, down the drain
You took me
Further way, down the drain
I follow

But these pixels of you
They haunt me all the time

Pixels of You (Bedroom Sessions)

A new track, still in progress, but the idea is there. XO


LYRICS

Taking off
Just to fall back 
On all fours
Although you knew
This had nothing to
Do with you
It still hurts 
Either way

In reaching distance
Yet never quite there

Benched out and forgot
A side note at best
In limbo
You're not the one
And might never be
Either way

In reaching distance
Yet never quite there

I have to find the thing
To go under your skin
I have to strike the chord
To make you want me

In Reaching Distance (Bedroon Sessions)

LYRICS

As the day breaks
I will come home
I just don't know how and when
Not that it matters
There's no one there
An empty bed

Tender smiles and deeds
All that means to me

I might go backwards
Just for you to see
Where I'm supposed to be
A look of kindness
Yet infinite sad
And nothing was said or done

Nothing's certain here
Except my uncertainty

Backwards (Bedroom Sessions)

LYRICS

My mouth runs dry, my mouth runs
On the Hill side, on the run
Branches cover up my face, again

And the island takes back
What was hers all along

Under pine trees I restart
Sand between toes, in my lung
Waves beat back the life into my chest

And the island takes back
What was hers all along

The Island (Bedroom Sessions)

Not Enough (Bedroom Sessions)
