Reached Out

Original song. Charlotte Samady © 2014 - Wannabe:
Lyrics:
The lights dim down on me 
Tell me what am I meant to see here 
So far from what I love 
What is there left to believe in 
So tell me
When I am stuck here trying to pretend that my head is on the same path as my legs and 
When I am trying with all of my might to pretend that I'm content with doing what you want me to instead
And I am sorry but the only thing stopping me from saying something I wouldn't regret is that I'm 
Thinking real hard, seeing stars and doing everything I can to get me where I wanna be instead 
Wanna be instead 
Wanna be instead 

File in quietly
Isn't that what they told us to do
Submit peacefully to whatever they want from you
But I'm not gonna live that way 
I'm not gonna let the days pass me by 
Without even questioning, wandering, passing glances at why 

So tell me
When I am stuck here trying to pretend that my head is on the same path as my legs and 
When I am trying with all of my might to pretend that I'm content with doing what you want me to instead
And I am sorry but the only thing stopping me from saying something I wouldn't regret is that I'm 
Thinking real hard, seeing stars and doing everything I can to get me where I wanna be instead 
Wanna be instead 
Wanna be instead 

I'm done with being stuck here trying to pretend that my head is on the se path as my legs and I'm 
Done trying with all of my might to pretend that I'm content with being what you want me to instead 
Not gonna apologise for having thoughts inside my head 
So now I'm thinking real hard, seeing starts and doing everything I can to get me where I wanna be instead

The melody and harmony during "You were red and you liked me because I was blue
You touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky
And you decided purple just wasn't for you" is taken from my original song "You Felt Like Home" (not yet posted here) and is not affiliated with Halsey, we just wanted to change it up a bit.


Colors - Halsey (Acoustic Cover)

Original song. This song is meant to touch upon obsession with money and material things, and how this can really negatively impact our relationships.

Lyrics:
You might build towers high up in the sky
But darling you're no god 
The way you build them up to knock them down, it should've stayed inside your job 
But when his minds all cluttered, bulldoze down some others 
And just maybe you'll vindicate yourself 
And think you're right.

You might have had me once in circumstance 
But darling you're no god
I'm just a work of art you'll criticise 
If she's a crystal I'm just mud
You might build towers high up in the sky 
But darling you're no god 
Can't turn a princess to a frog 
But the daring heights of depression strike in economy and mind 
You might build dreams and hopes and promises around your own desires
And when you lit a match, reminded that where there is smoke there's fire
But darling you're no god 

Modern day confusing way 
Of blurring mans desire to elevate oneself above the hoard, to stop and stare a while 
With the rushing stress, the self obsessed, the paper driven mess 
And then you're pushing those you love away until your dying breath 

He used to think everything could never sting, and that a knife was just protection
Never crossed his mind that those who fight may fight just for aggression
But this world it chipped away
And the man I knew lost all of his integrity 
The greyscale skyline of a city night reflects into his eyes and suddenly I don't recognise whatever lays behind

Modern day confusing way 
Of blurring mans desire to elevate oneself above the hoard, to stop and stare a while 
With the rushing stress, the self obsessed, the paper driven mess 
And then you're pushing those you love away until your dying breath 

I thought that you were different
Saw the passion in your eyes
Is it the fact that went away that led to our demise 

You might have had me once in circumstance 
But darling you're no god
I'm just a work of art you'll criticise 
If she's a crystal I'm just mud
You might build towers high up in the sky 
But darling you're no god 
Can't turn a princess to a frog 
But the daring heights of depression strike in economy and mind 
You might build dreams and hopes and promises around your own desires
And when you lit a match, reminded that where there is smoke there's fire
But darling you're no god.

You're No God

This song has been posted before in demo form, but this is a better quality version.

I actually wrote this song when I was 15, which is crazy to think about now. I hope you guys like it!


Here are the lyrics:

I thought I needed you to get by,
But all I needed was somebody who would try,
But there’s no effort in those eyes,
And there’s no comfort in your lies

I used to think I was in love
And that I’d never be good enough
I thought I understood the ache (of heartbreak)
But now I know I was just young (and I’m still young)

I thought I just needed somebody, but now I see that I just needed myself
I’m stronger than I thought I was, those who hurt me didn’t do much wrong
And besides, I’ve learnt I don't need anybody else.

I saw a brother in you, I put my trust within you, so you’d respect me and love her
I don’t care what we’ve been through, I am not in love with you
You’re the one who stayed, don’t make me push you away too.

I saw the future in your glassy eyes
Tears stained the soul that fell behind
If I could have stopped the lights from going out inside
Without pulling the trigger at my own mind
I hope part of you believes that I’d have tried.

I thought I just needed somebody, but now I see that I just needed myself
I’m stronger than I thought I was, those who hurt me didn’t do much wrong
And besides, I’ve learnt I don’t need anybody else.

I used to think I was in love
And that I’d never be good enough
But that’s just not what life’s about
Love’s not supposed to bring you down
Love’s not supposed to bring you down.

Anybody Else

It's about a friend of mine a long time ago. 

Lyrics:

t was yesterday, put the past behind you
Don’t wanna try to override you,
But the past can’t hurt you anymore.Don’t run away, it was never your fault
Don’t look back, cos you’ve been hurt before

Chorus: Cos I remember all those things that you forget
Remember how your mouth was all smiles, and your eyes were all wet
From those tears you didn’t cry
From those tears you kept inside
And I know you’ve been hurt before but everybody knows
How it feels when you love too hard and they just let you go
You said it didn’t hurt you at all x2

If you hold on to what didn’t work how are you supposed to make way for what could be
I know she’s hurting on the inside but that is not your fault, you’ll see

Chorus

Hurt You

Cover of "Long Way From Home" by The Lumineers, a track from their new (absolutely fantastic and timeless) album "Cleopatra" 

Long Way From Home - The Lumineers (Cover)

Here's a new original song: "Pills and Wine"! After quite a long absence... I seem to have finally gotten over my writer's block. Isn't about anybody specific, its some collective observations I've taken, and its therefore about a lot of people I know. Hope you guys like it!

Here are the lyrics:

When your grace can't overcome the vice 
Don't you worry I'll be there.
And when you just can't seem to sleep at night 
Don't you worry I'll be there.
And when the waves come quick and engulf your mind don't you worry
I still care.

I'll be there for you rain or shine 
And I will open up your mind 
And hopefully I won't let you drown inside 
All the pills and wine.

And she said hold me tight and I'll call you mine even though I want to cry inside 
And love can't heal your broken mind
When you know deep down it isn't right.

So when you're tired and weak and no one tries
Don't you worry cos I still might.
But I can't move the clouds outside
If you won't even try.

I'll be there for you rain or shine 
And I will open up your mind 
And hopefully I won't let you drown inside 
All the pills and wine.

Ooooooh
Is it too soon?
For me to try to,
Save you?

I'll be there for you rain or shine 
And I will open up your mind 
And hopefully I won't let you drown inside
All the pills and wine.

I'll be there for you rain or shine 
And I will open up your mind 
And hopefully I won't let you down this time 
Like all the pills and wine.
