(Week 10)

Lyrics:
all the same, all the blame that brings me here
it's just like another day goes by and you don't even realise
here's some joy, here's a ploy to make you laugh
and i try so hard to make things work but it's all a compromise

what does it all mean
how does it all fail 
why does everything suck

more or less, and the rest that comes with it
the stars won't talk so i'll just have to find a better way
and i feel, like i'm still chasing it
and i hope that something comes of it and i hope that it's not too dumb

what does it all mean
how does it all fail 
why does everything suck

and these things don't like to lie
they're always trying then they die
give it a little more

and the things, and the things that come to me
it's like something's playing in my head and it's always on repeat

what does it all mean
how does it all fail 
why does everything suck

Everything Suck

(Week 11)
Subtitle: That's What I'll Do

Lyrics:
that's life, you're facing so many people, so many unknowns
it's alright, nothing comes out of this time, you aren't missing out
it could be just like you're lying in bed
you could be the one, it's all in your head

that's life, and sometimes you gotta make do, with what you're given
so it's alright, that you want to be out playin' games, or whatever's the plan
add another day, it's all in your hands
don't wait one more day, go take a stand

you're always playing that song (that's what i'll do)
but i could be wrong (i believe in you)
you're always so sad (the town seems blue tonight)
it's not always bad (and the city's shining bright)
playing that song

the day comes, and you want to be there someday, it's just a dream
you wish it were, and you wish it was something to grab, something to reach
but's just out of grasp, it's too far away
you've got a handle on this life, but nothing to paint

the night comes, and you're supposed to be goin' somewhere, you're goin' tonight
so you work it out, you think to yourself sometimes, that nothing's alright
just one more time, you said you'll have it your way
it's all a lie, the day has not gone away

you're always playing that song (that's what i'll do)
but i could be wrong (i believe in you)
you're always so sad (the town seems blue tonight)
it's not always bad (and the city's shining bright)
playing that song

and you want to always try to find a way out
but it's never gonna let you find a way out
it's all about

playing that song (that's what i'll do)
but i could be wrong (i believe in you)
you're always so sad (the town seems blue tonight)
it's not always bad (and the city's shining bright)

you're always playing that song, that's what i'll do

Playing That Song

(Week 22)
Reverb and guitars!

Lyrics:
does it make you feel alright
your hopes and dreams don't look too bright
but you're making a change for the best
this isn't what you're looking for
your cries for help have been ignored
but there's something you've saved, for the rest

and it's out of sight, out of mind

placing it right on the list
the places that you thought you'd miss
and striking out, it's too far away
have you seen the streets at night
nothing ever seems quite right
and it's awful how the sky is grey

but it's out of sight, out of mind

is it simply untrue?
is it simply just you?

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

(Week 26)
no!

Lyrics:
my heart is racing through the night
spacing out in delight
i remember, i remember

the soft spot i had for you
and all the memories we went through
is it over, over for now

the way you talked to me was very thoughtful
trading the days away was very cool

another day, another way
i can't stop thinking about you
thinking of the next day

i guess it's over for right now
over for right now
i guess it's midnight, it's midnight

i want to thank you for this day
thank you for this day
i want to thank you, thank you so much

what have i learnt? haven't learnt a thing

my heart is racing through the night
spacing out in delight
i remember, i remember

the soft spot i had for you
and all the memories we went through
is it over, is it over for now

Is It Over

(Week 31)

Lyrics:
without a doubt
this is just what i had in mind
and through the day
why even wait to have a time
i know you're there, i know that deep inside there is an answer

it's out of reach
as if it is a long way away
but you're so slow
you oughta know it was today
from early on, just sing a song about fighting off the thoughts of

feeling someday, i want more of it
just so you know it's always hurting, hurting in your heart!

at a table for two
i'll be waiting here for you (always)
a table for two
i'll be staying up for you (always)
at a table for two
don't give up, you know i won't do the same to you

another shot
another shot in the dark for you
you know very well
does it ring a bell about someone you know
please let me be, please let me take a leave, this room above me's

shaking and falling, just as it were
the pieces are drifting apart
is it night now? or have we gone too far?

at a table for two
i'll be waiting here for you (always)
a table for two
i'll be staying up for you (always)
at a table for two
don't give up, you know i won't do the same to you

Table for Two

(Week 32)

Lyrics:
without a trace, my will is gone
it's not a race, but the damage done
all these people don't know

how will i breathe without some air
will i try to leave and go somewhere
you really don't know until you go

the road before you is lost to the times
nobody knows how, nobody's that wise
look all around you, do you trust what you see
step right out and go find the key

understand the waves that fall on you
get lost in the haze, go find something new
how many times will you take?

so many truths, so many lies
it's just a wait, as the time flies
find the courage to say bye

the road before you is lost to the times
nobody knows how, nobody's that wise
look all around you, do you trust what you see
step right out and go find the key

Step Right Out

(Week 33)

Lyrics:
opening the door to the world
to look for a better way
if you don't like what you find
take it with you anyway
it's just what life has to bring
undoing your every move
you hate but it's all you can do
trying it won't let you improve

just get through, through today
don't let it get to you, don't let it stay
give me one more time to settle this

does it make you feel that good
knowing that you made us late
great things never happen to us
keep playing all your games
in and out every day and night
what am i supposed to say
it's not like you'd ever know
how it feels to be this way

just get through, through today
don't let it get to you, don't let it stay
give me one more time to settle this

it's like i'm sailing in the dark
on my own, and there's no place left for me

just get through, through today
don't let it get to you, don't let it stay
give me one more time to settle this

Sailing in the Dark

(Week 34)

Lyrics:
i've been here before
i'll try once more
but through your eyes
i'm nothing at all
your words are clear
not something you'd hear
to summarise
i'm going down with the fall

and i don't want to be paid attention
but i don't want to be left defenseless
speaking ain't easy, when you've got nothing to say

has it been this long
my light's always on
but it's draining down
never shine anymore
save the best for last
maybe not so fast
all these things
we've been here before

and i don't want to be paid attention
but i don't want to be left defenseless
speaking ain't easy, when you've got nothing to say

Nothing to Say

(Week 35)
:o

Lyrics:
the only one here and what we can hear
it's never not the same
just had to go there, it's still in the air
of what's your name
you know that it is your fate
you don't want to end up late
it is what you choose
don't think you ought to lose

you gotta have some fun!
don't let us ever get you down!

so what do you see, just take it from me
don't ever end up selling out
say what you will, they're just a shill
and money's all they talk about
play it out like you want it to
are you brave enough to see it through
the pain that you feel
wishing that it wasn't real

you gotta have some fun!
don't let us ever get you down!

you go down so far
you might just be a star

you gotta have some fun! (for some fun?)
don't let us ever get you down! (you down?)
and even if you let us down
you didn't have to go so far!

Have Some Fun

(Week 36)

Lyrics:
once you were my anchor
holding me down to the sea
now the walls have since fallen
shining the light down to me

and the weight as it bears down on me
i start to see what life has to bring
and it hurts

spinning around in circles
trying to find where to go
is it pain that's all we can offer
everyday goes by so slow

And it Hurts

(Week 37)
You didn't win this auction.

Lyrics:
i had waited for so long
the search i made for the olden song
i thought that i was the only one
i thought that i was nearly done

but you beat me to it
but you beat me to the tee
next time i will do it
and you won't outbid me

now the stars have fallen down
i'll never be able to hear that sound
walking out in the pouring rain
i only hear the one that caused me pain

and you beat me to it
and you beat me to the tee
next time i will do it
and you won't outbid me

i had waited for so long
the search i made for the olden song
now a soul awaits for me
i'll find a link to set me free

Outbid Me

(Week 38)
Meta song or something

Lyrics:
it's a piece of cake
the clock is nearly eight
how 'bout something else to pass the time
from everyone to you
it's all that you can do
make your bestest self, you don't have to lie

looking out there i can see
the wind is blowing through the trees
if something comes up, who can tell
it's just the chime of a bell

time is coming soon
all that's left to do
is find out just how much it takes this time
sometimes really good
but i'm not feeling good
how about tomorrow, it's a sign

the evening summer i can relate
sometimes you just gotta sublimate
nobody cares that you're wasting time
it's all about the surprise

you know, i don't think i like what i've created (i doubt it)
but do i care that much at all, i doubt it

every risk you take
it's something you can make
even the small things can take some time
never wanting more
you have to close the door
what's inside reminds me of that time

you know that sometimes things are harsh
looking at the things in my distant past
everday as the sun bleeds through
i'm looking up to you

you know, i don't think i like what i've created (i doubt it)
but do i care that much at all, i doubt it

What I've Created, I Doubt It

(Week 39)
75% of the way there!

Lyrics:
just a dream i guess, no one really wonders anymore
i haven't forgot the rest, but sometimes i am left wanting more
out there i feel like that i still remember, i remember just who we were

until we split up, everyone won't realise
the time we have left, it never ends in their eyes
but it's now time to go, i don't wanna go, i will never let go

why was i taken away from you
why was i made to believe what's true?
and there's nothing i can do for you

what was so strong, undone in a moment
looking on afterwards, i never would have saw it
everyday, the sadness climbs a little higher, i want to fall right back down

why was i taken away from you
why was i made to believe what's true?
and there's nothing i can do for you

the light in my eyes
the bright blue sky
i won't give up for you, that's who

why was i taken away from you
why was i made to believe what's true?
and there's nothing i can do for you

Made To Believe What's True

(Week 40)
Because of upload limits, I am over here now:

Lyrics:
this isn't the last time you've won
this isn't the time for you to show off
and don't you forget it's all mine
any secrets you had are lost
just how many times will you win?

this isn't a pressing matter
if only the rules were on today
dragging you down below and
changing the road on which you play
just one look, you'll see, i'm wearing thin

[chorus]
next time i'll get you next time
i'll get you hours and hours from now
next time i'll get you next time
i'm feeling real sour right now
you're above me, but tomorrow, you're going down

i know that your hands are slipping
you don't have the chance to cause me pain
i thought that you saw right through it
but what of the people that remain
breaking through the glass, to see their face

[chorus]

please forgive me for my ranking
i'm working out all the kinks
please save me from my sinking
my value's too low, hope i'll plateau

[chorus]

Next Time

Written and recorded between 8 - 12 January 2021.

Lyrics:
i feel like i'm the enemy
i thought you were a friend to me
but i know, i'm not alone
i want to be more reasonable
i want to be more likeable
it's a lie, i thought i tried

and i want to know why
why have you gone away

it's too bad i wasn't made for this
and it makes it seem like i don't care
but i do, i really do
but i second guess and i get scared
when i work it out, it seems unfair
and it's true, i'm really screwed

and i wonder why
why have you gone away

i'd like to go back on my choices
i'd like to see how it would go 
and i know 
i'm not alone

i wanna know why
why did you go away

Why Did You Go Away

(Week 03)
A kind of 70's soft rock kind of thing. kinda.

Lyrics:
i like to be alone in the rain
i like the sound it softly makes
and it heals me when i'm feeling down again
and it makes me want to stop and have a listen

i like to be on top of the world
i like to see the stars that swirl
and it happens to be today, i feel the flow
and it happens to be tonight, i feel at home

i wanna go back home
i wanna be alone

i like to be alone in the rain
and it makes me feel like i'm home again
but im getting really bored and want something new
but i think that that's too hard;

i wanna go back home
i wanna be alone

in the rain or shine, i feel i'm outta time
