decided to post a random song I wrote this year (the art is also mine, acrylic on canvas), hi ;)
lyrics/tuning- 

THE GHOST BREATHING DOWN MY BACK				DAEAC#E

A1 
Poetic and pouting
Passive aggression
Pushes me away
He’s got my attention

All art births bias
Naked and gushing out
Gospels of midnights  
silent sound	  
  
B1     
this interval of feeling can't be fought 
still tried to shake the weight from off my spine
but the ghost breathing down my back says that I’ll be fine  

A2 
Poetic and plotting
out my escape plan
fly to dubai 
before I wake

A shell of a past self
Super ego kill me quick
For I can't be silent can't fall for what’s fleeting
 
B2     
this interval of feeling can't be fought 
still tried to shake the weight from off my spine
but the ghost breathing down my back says that I’ll be fine  

A1’2
All art births bias
Naked and gushing out
Gospels of midnights  
silent sound

B3    
this interval of feeling can't be fought 
still tried to shake the weight from off my spine
but the ghost breathing down my back says that I’ll be
ghost breathing down my back-    
says I’ll be fucking fine

THE GHOST BREATHING DOWN MY BACK

this is a lil song I wrote inspired by Bob Dylans "Subterranean Homesick Blues" and some guy from Massachusetts 

EASIER TO RUN THE STREETS

What is life if not what if’s and oh well’s?
And god damn bloody hell’s? I don’t know
Times like now, shit starts moving slow
And it’s so hard to sit back when I feel out of control
It’s easier to run the streets-
Than to walk in the sand me down with your words
Til I'm smooth in your hands and it no longer hurts   
in the morning early when I have to leave
never naked always wearing my heart -
  
Who are you when I’m not around?
In your darkness hour when its crashing down
Just tape the windows- don’t let it into
The garden of spite that I’ve been keeping alive
It’s easier to walk away-
Than to sink down in the sand where you stand and lie
To my face like you're in disguise 
Halloween hide out, just take the night off
And the weight too when it’s getting heavy 
It’s easier to let go
  
Chasing relief that I’ll never find 
The kind of farewell that lies only inside
You just want attention, attention from me
Its not love you're feeling you're just lonely
It’s easier to fuck off- 
than to string me along still I get why you do
but its hard when you’re starved not to eat forbidden fruit
just take a bite out, a bite out from me
spit me out one last time

What is life if not what if’s and farewells?
And god damn bloody hell’s? We don’t know
Times like now, shit starts moving slow
And it’s so hard to sit back when I feel out of control

It’s easier to run the streets

EASIER TO RUN THE STREETS

...(wait a couple seconds for the jam) My cover of Alessia Cara's "here" - done at Berklee in my mixed pop ensemble :-) thanks for listening!!

HERE (alessia cara COVER)

WHAT WE SEE WHEN WE DIE

5/4 98bpm
V1 (E9sus4, B-11, E-9)

Black and cold and near the end
Voices cut through the surface
To let me know that I was still there
That I hadn’t let go yet

Pounding skull cracked
From days spent underwater
Where half a shell of a girl
Is lost undiscovered

CH1 (D6/9, Dmaj9/13, E-9 … D6/9, Dmaj9/13, E9sus2)

Wasted time again, again and I'm 
Wasted most nights, can’t

Face what I can’t remember
Face what we see when we die 

V2 (E9sus4, B-11, E-9)
Single tear snuck down my cheek
Stuck in slumber
Wherever I was, I wanted to leave
Wake, me, up

Pounding skull healed, but
I still feel underwater
Where half a shell of a girl’s
Still undiscovered

CH2 (X2)

Wasted time again, again and I'm 
Wasted most nights, can’t

Face what I can’t remember
Face what we see when we die

What We See When We Die

Cigarettes and Loneliness

Falling Apart

WORDS I NEVER SAID REMIX

VERSE1:
I feel something in me shifting, 
Suddenly I’m looking in the mirror different
A feeling that can’t be put into words
A feeling so right that the feeling hurts

Feeling something in your mystery
Your midnight eyes have me suddenly tipsy. 
Bullets in the barrel, Russian roulette,
With the space in my chest, you’ve made your arrest. 

CHORUS:
Pin me down with your words,
Take up all of my time.
A book about birds,
In the plateau of my mind

Close your eyes and let your mind
Paint the perfect picture
Us together,
You and your black and white hell-again sweater

VERSE2:
Forcefully, not make believe,
I finally see, I finally see,
That everything before this couldn’t measure up,
You make me nervous so I, I fill up my cup.

Open my eyes see past the signs,
Leading me to nowhere, please free my mind.
There’s no better time than tonight to loose control,
Or take control, cruise control, oh I lost control 

I’ve given up… on taking over
Fender bender…in my range rover
Thoughts lead me straight to you
Or straight to nowhere

HELL - AGAIN SWEATER

Hallelujah
