I am a songwriter lost without a singer or band. However, waiting around until I do results in losing a lot of music and lyrics over the years, so I am doing it now. Enjoy the poor audio and equipment! This is more for documentation so I always have it and to share with potential musicians and singers who would like to do it better or add to it.

Lyrics:

Your spirit is just like the moon
One side dances along with this tune 
While the other hides in black facing doom
Safe to say we'll all meet that side soon

It seems to me your giving up on everything 
And we can't do anything 
You're falling deeper into space
But I'll always be here waiting

When we look up at the stars
The light that shines is from a far
Distant past light years from where we are
Living the end we only see the start

Maybe that's how it works for me and you
Visions in my head swear it's true
The sight of you still remains
With only memories to hold on to

Surrounded by the ghosts
That I love the most
I swear they'd follow me
From coast to coast
Its hard to tell how I feel
About this whole deal 
But I'm starting to need
Those ghosts

They say light never fades away
So promise me you will always stay
Expanding farther until one day
The whole universe can see your face

Everyday I feel like such a mess
Seeing ghosts am I cursed or blessed
Can't tell if I'm going insane
So I'll just keep trying to make sense
...of it all

Surrounded by the ghosts
That I love the most
I swear they'd follow me
From coast to coast
Its hard to tell how I feel
About this whole deal 
But I'm starting to need
Those ghosts
Those ghosts

Those Ghosts (Demo)

Lyrics:

I'm a novice lunatic
and an addict
with bad chemicals and ideas
I never seem to share the best ideals
the product of pain pills
although they weren't for my sores
but for my mind and soul

and I never thought it would get this bad
but I've never been quite this sad before
and I don't like to think I'm going mad
but I don't believe I've ever been this bad
I'm torn, I'm torn

I'm not schizophrenic 
don't need the clinic
although my conscious is crazed
maybe I am going crazy
been losing it lately
and they say I'm bipolar
hell I don't even know anymore

and I never thought it would get this bad
but I've never been quite this sad before
and I don't like to think I'm going mad
but I don't believe I've ever been this bad
I'm torn, I'm torn

never underestimate the fallibility
of a maniac
and their liability to err
and the inevitable
benevolence
of insomniacs
our ability
to live love and learn

and I never thought it would get this bad
but I've never been quite this sad 
and I don't like to think I'm going mad
but I don't believe I've ever been this bad

and I never thought it would get this bad
but I've never been quite this sad before
and I don't like to think I'm going mad
but I don't believe I've ever been this bad
I'm torn, I'm torn

Not A Cough In A Carload (Demo)

Without a judge
there are no sinners
no right or wrong
losers or winners
we live content
like life was meant
to be
we were meant to be
free

I've been through a lot
seen some shit along the way
no one knows the things that I've fought
but along my walks
I've found reasons to be happy today
I don't know, it was just a thought

is it so hard to love
so hard not to give up
I guess so but what do I know
if we gave up what we had
and took in all there laughs
then, well
who knows
I know
I don't

I've been through a lot
seen some shit along the way
no one knows the things that I've fought
but along my walks
I've found reasons to be happy today
I don't know, it was just a thought

and as swift as it came
it was gone


Just A Thought (Demo)

Lyrics:

so whisper something in my ear
something short and sweet my dear
and take me away
to much better days
I understand you loud and clear
although I’m someone you hold near
I’m afraid
we’re going separate ways
and I don’t know what I want
but I think I’m ready for change
I’m ready for anything at all
and I
got some things to work out

I know you are not mine
but thank you anyway
just to have you on mind
is enough to make me stay
my porcelain getaway

in my head were making love
long conversations and such
and I know it’s strange
to think this way
but with you all I’m thinking of
is just how breathtaking you are 
and I hope one all day
you’ll see my way
and I now know what I want
and that’s for you to be happy
even if that doesn’t include me
but I
couldn’t live without

I know you are not mine
but I’m yours either way
thank you for your time
i treasure all our days
you were always so kind
taught me love was okay
to share with all i find
but I still need to say
you’ll always hold a special place
my porcelain getaway


Porcelain Getaway (Demo)

Lyrics:

There’s a world out there to see
with seven lands and seven seas
and a whole lot of ocean in between
I want to be free
I’m going to climb every mountain I see
from the lowest of valleys
to the highest of peaks
and I’m going to do it all just for me
I want to be free

free from the torment of sin
and all the poor places that I’ve been
escape this mess
this hell, the debt
I’m so depressed
with life and death
someone please hear my plea
I want to be free

There’s a whole multiverse to see
with all those planes and galaxies
there are so many possibilities
I want to be free
I’m going to explore all of me
from every flaw
to each bit of hope I foresee
Find a balance in madness like space debris
i want to be free

tell me where do I begin
scared my skin, my faiths gone thin
nonetheless
I’ve undressed and confessed
tore my heart outside my chest
just for a chance
reaching out like a tree
I want to be free
