Stay for a little while
Try
You don't know but I
I don't want to, but I need you
And I'm not scared but I'd be
If I knew you were there.

When I reach back have to get nervous:
Another time, what is it I would be?
Walk to the sun or wither on the vine.
My city aswarm, my city asleep.

It's never wrong to care.

Reachback

Not happy with the sounds yet and it feels like it needs another verse (and of course some bass throughout and some shred at the end), but I gotta upload in case I never touch it again.

My heart was stoned,
sitting at the end of a violent road.
I was stuck in, left with nowhere to go,
Alone, alone.
And then, waiting on a sign that nobody would give:
A love or ticket out, or just a life I could live.
If I had to say it, that's what misery is.

Too proud to want what you think you can't have,
Repeating days that you wish you could pass,
I wonder if the feeling's gonna last this time,
I wonder if the feeling's gonna last.
I'm getting sick of living secondhand,
I stayed in bronze I never boosted past,
I wonder if the feeling's gonna last this time,
I wonder if the feeling's gonna last.

The vacant lots,
I would go at night just to settle my thoughts,
Better staying up than to sleep with what I'd got
Alone, alone.
And then, if you had seen me out, you'da thought I was mad.
Doctor man he told me Dallas blues ain't so bad.
Well it must not have been them same blues I had.

Just dance those blues away.
Just dance those blues away.
Just dance those blues away.
Just dance those blues away.

Stoned

This one is a little bland underneath, but I like the sounds and tried to do something different by recording different phrases in the song and then trying to play them at the right time like a keyboard. I had to tweak a ton to get timings closer so I will never do it again.

In the morning, I'm not waking
Maybe I'm dreaming of
Was the deck stacked? Was it crying?
Wondering what I can do

I'm indifferent to my problems
Shit these days just comes and goes
Grown a tough skin to most questions
Leave well most things left unknown

But I need to know, baby, I need to know

Who could take it, all this pacing?
Knowing the thing you can't say
I'll look back on made up trouble
That's what comes to those who wait

I was waiting for my pardon
Inside a room with a view
You were careful, I was buying
Trying to see to the truth

And I need to know, baby, I need to know
I need to know, baby, I need to know.

i need to

This track sounds like it is having an identity crisis, which is fitting because it is about that.

Stethoscope to listen in (to what)
Your mind was always whispering (you ought)
To let yourself be on your side (you know)
The memory you'll soon elide (. . )

The hand that feeds is always scarred (by who)
On each side I have done my part
Stethoscope to listen in (to what)
It ends with what it won't begin

Glance in the mirror
How did I get here, or
Was I always this way?
And does anyone see it the same?

Stethoscope up in your ear (so you)
You sleep a week you sleep a year (just to)
From too much then too little now
The local demons quiet down

My word is sharper when it's black (a low)
But how could you ever want that? (you know)
Stethoscope up in your ear (so you)
A thunderstorm when you come near (me too)

Glance in the mirror
How did I get here, or
Was I always this way?
How could anyone see it the same?

So just step up to the glass and look right on through
top the person you would be if you were not you
feel the metal on your chest let your life beat slow
send some love to the people who you will never know.

Stethoscope

Unset

I decided to try out some live mixing. It's messy, but I like some of the blends of textures you can get with a bunch of filters and different synths.

A plinky, time-switching crooner about watching all of your friends grow up before you do.
---------_______---------_______---------

Say you're all done
Making mindless confessions,
asking all those pointless questions,
what a son of a
well still, someone's son
Just a couple years left til you're like all your friends
you should take out a loan on a...
one more simple song
Haven't come as yourself but you've
been with someone you'd like to become
Stay from staid left
Didn't know it... but you know
you can bet on the least of your dreams,
all those nervous-hearted,
the troubled and darkest
won't you take these dreams,
'cause cause I cannot keep them,
they weren't really mine to start with
