Lyrics:

Said I've always been leaving,
I've just been waiting, and at,
Noon I'll shuffle my feet.
As I sat and watched,
A dandelion clock blossom,
And found it told me nothing of the time.

Like an old, old friend,
I watched the wind caress its seeds,
and carried down to the sea,
as I followed, march right in.

(Chorus)
On crystal waterships we float, we go, all the way home,
Back to open arms, cradles like waves, you'll find they still hold you all the same.
Swim through water colors find a current you can break,
Stand tall along the shores you've been, brush the sand from your eyes, you'll finally find you're home.

(Home)

Weightless, almost breeze like,
caught perfectly between the blues,
'Cause if you turn your eyes upside down,
A clear sky is no more than an ocean,
That I never knew.
Change of heart, broken keys, at the door,
Change my surroundings I know it's for the better in me.

(Chorus)

Drying paint meets a saltwater cup,
As my memories run off into the water,
So these places I go are that much harder,
To leave.

(Chorus)

Crystal Waterships [*Original* FREE DL]

Lyrics:

Wood,
Hey, just sit there,
stationary as a kitchen table.

We'll lay, down some photographs,
create a contrast, against you,
well-fashioned in lace.

He'll touch his hand to the surface,
think it ordinary,
crafted in maple or oak.
He can't feel the mahogany.

No he's never gonna see you.
No he's never gonna see you.
Noone's ever gonna see you,
the way that I do.

But It's hard to see through swollen eyes,
even worse to think from a melting mind,
and I'm doing my best just to start to try, believe me.

I bet she's gonna love you. x7
I bet she's gonna leave you.

Music and Lyrics by Daniel DeMarco

Untitled (Demo)

So here you are,
on this blank page,
this clean slate,
that I kept safe.

If you don't mind,
my stubborn ways,
my father's temper,
in my smug face,
don't quit it.

If we can get on,
move so delicately,
that we'd be dancing over eggshells,
while just swaying in the breeze.

I'd watch as you turn,
moving closer to me,
I'd watch you skip through holy flowers,
while I slip through skinny trees.

Written and recorded sometime in July

This song was recorded live using my cell phone. I feel as though the quality of the recording lends itself to the song. Additionally, I originally thought that I was going to have to write more lyrics for the song, but upon revisiting it, I feel as though it is complete.


Holy Flowers [*Original* FREE DL]

Lyrics:

It was I who suggested
We meet in this way
To hear both of our voices
Just yours was okay

I stood on the side
That your mind was on
Makes no difference now
That the bride is gone

And you were offended
Or maybe afraid
That my teeth nearly shattered
From the words locked away

You straightened your back
Full of meaning
I slouched down expressionless,
Indifferent, except for this

Lets roll back to strangers
Who say married we'll be
Or babies in Brooklyn
And chamomile tea

Want to wake there all sleepy-eyed
Accidentally bust your frames
Had your glasses never broken
You'd see that things never changed

So I keep this
Glass bottle version of you
Where the flowers are dry
But the memories feel new

I suppose if things were different
I'd have given one to you
A romanticized treasure
Worth holding onto

Holy Flowers Pt. II [*Original* FREE DL]

Lyrics:

What's cookin', good lookin'
She's a beauty, she's a cutie,
She's a woman in her ways

Hair down, spin around,
Moon and tide are dancing now,
We could do the same

And maybe we can make up for all this lost time,
Just seconds with you feel like they last all my life,
Pretty girl, pretty girl,
I want you

She's a real sweet talkin',
Speed walkin' little angel,
Better catch her if you can

Che bello, si beau,
Languages I do not know,
We say it all the same

She's a tulip, never fool you,
Always bloomin' when the suns up,
Yeah she really makes you Spring

High low, tippy-toe,
I'll go with you where you will go,
Just say you'd do the same

Take the Long Way Home

Lyrics:

I'm the base of a candlestick
And you own my gaze
Tiny flame, acrobatics,
She's radiantly mine,
All of the time.

And you waltz around
Reach a fiery hand out to me,
And we'll dance like we're married
In the quiet of night, the absence of light,
Except that which you exude.

Melt into me,
I want to feel your heat.
If not for love,
Then only just
To burn me.

I'll wear the bowtie with the paisley design,
And you'd look at me with what looked like desire.
We'd laugh till we greyed
Our old souls just the way
They were meant to be.

In letters and photographs
And enamel pins,
In minds overthinking is where our story lives.
But you were a simple one, and this was a different love
I curse and keep it the same.

Melt into me,
I want to feel your heat.
If not for love,
Then only just
To burn me.

Melt Into Me

Melt Into Me [*Original* FREE DL]

Lyrics:

Black coffee mornings,
and newspaper blues.
Bitter as her lips,
the last time, your woman kissed you.

And I almost crashed my car that day.
Not sure if it was just good luck or fate.
(But I swear.)

I've never felt you closer to me,
than you did from empty passenger seats,
or the distance on your telephone,
always calling saying you won't be home tonight.
I'll watch the ceilings change,
like you showed me when we were young,
so in and out of love.

Heard you're looking for another man.
Well I hope he does good by you.

You always had your troubles understanding,
you said I could not explain,
and you felt you could not relate,
and you told me.
I deserved a golden love for this silver heart of mine,
that I'd been better than you'd been,
that this was just the wrong time.

But oh I hope you're here to stay,
and watch the sun as we pass the days,
but until then i'm drinking my coffee black,
till you settle down, and come on back.

Black Coffee [*Original* FREE DL]

Lyrics:

Oh my dear sister, I,
hope all is well,
Winter 's 'round the corner,
and it's been cold as hell.
And I hope that you'll wear,
the coat that I bought you some Decembers ago.

I guess I'm okay,
yeah I know that you'd ask,
the thickest pair of gloves, or,
the coat on my back,
couldn't help me with this seasons lows.
'Cause it's more than the temperature that 's been leaving me cold.

The tree in the back,
yeah it, looks awfully sad,
since every leaf has left,
found no trouble packed their bags.
And gone without a mention,
no goodbyes, no letters,
but we know they'll come back again.

And a cardinal he came,
and he, sang quite a song,
of some wonderful company.
But I guess had to go,
left me and that tree all alone,
and we hope he'll come back again.
