Make You Feel Better

There must have been a point in between
my late thirties and my teens
when i started to pick up on all these things that I do just to get through the day
Like hiding all my tears, all my feelings, all my thoughts,
for so long that I'm overflowing box after box 
it ain't working. I'm hurting. I've run out of space.
So how many years will I let my fears keep me from facing my reflection?
Consumed by my pain, by my doubt, to get help, to find out
how to move in a new direction.

I know I need to be strong. I need to fight. 
but I don't really feel so strong sometimes...
it makes me wonder if there's really more to life?

Stuck like glue
I try and try but I can't move
I'm not sure how much more that I can take
Trapped beneath the weight of my mistakes
Stuck like glue
Please someone tell me what to do
so I can move on...all I want is to find a way to start over new,
but I'm stuck like glue.

Stuck Like Glue (updated demo)

It's been a long time since I 
took a good hard look inside myself 
the shameful parts, the darkest 
fragments of my weathered heart. 
But oh no no no, please don't think 
that I'm just letting go.  
I won't lose hope. 
I need to know I need to know 
you won't give up on me 
...cause baby baby

Maybe, maybe, maybe there's a chance that I could still be happy...
that I could find the strength to fight, 
a ray of light to lead me back to life.

And maybe, maybe, maybe there's a chance that I could still be happy...
still feel free - just a little more like me.
Yeah, maybe I could be happy

Happy...



HappyInterlude (Acoustic Demo)

It's hard to know where to start
It's hard to open up when all you've done for years is learn to guard your hard and build up walls so high that no one else can see...
That everyday you numb your pain with another pill to drown out all the voices in your head but you still wonder if they know you're not the man they thought you'd be.
So you push away the people that love you,
cause you're so afraid of what they might think of you
You feel like such a disappointment sometimes

And you say, you're doing ok,
because it's easier than telling everyone how it feels
And you say, you're doing ok,
because to tell the truth would mean you'd have to face that it's real

It's hard to know where to start 
when everytime you try your hopes and dreams,
everything just seems to fall apart 
and leave you wondering, "Is there really something more?"
So you do your best to leave your past behind you,
but some way somehow it always seems to find you,
picking up the pieces of your heart off the floor

And you say, you're doing ok,
because it's easier than telling everyone how it feels
And you say, you're doing ok,
because to tell the truth would mean you'd have to face that it's real

Turn It Around (Chorus Demo)

Would It Matter & Come On Get Higher (Live Mashup)

What if all these embers are what's left of this December, and there's no more you and me together now?
I guess some things can't last forever, but it's making me remember you and me on Christmas Eve.
I don't know how you expect that I can sit beside the fire watching it die.

I guess you can't hold love too close to the fire, or it'll burn, it'll burn, it'll burn...
and what can I do if I'm not who you desire, but let it burn, let it burn, let it burn...let the fire burn.

Running out of whiskey, drunk texting you, "Do you miss me?"
Got my volume up, but i won't hear a sound.
The night is growing colder
Just can't accept that this this is over.
Someone tell me what Im supposed to do now?
