Song is about heartbreak and hope.

Lyrics:
Well you got all that you wanted, now I’m dead
All that matters, now away, I’m in my head
Well you broke away my bones
all your gonna get are (distant memories)
now you’re gonna wait for someone that begs (distant memories)

Some day you’ll be sorry when you see that I’m top of the world and I don’t care about you/ 
Do you know that I’m with somebody else? Holding on and won’t let go, won’t let go 

Now you wanna tear my photos apart so you won’t see me again 
and I know I’m buried deep in your heart ‘cause you wouldn’t deal with how you felt 
and now we are distant memories (distant memories) and now we are distant memories (distant memories)

Some day you’ll be sorry when you see that I’m top of the world 
and I don’t care about you, 
do you know that I’m with somebody else? 
Holding on and won’t let go. won’t let go
Some day you’ll be sorry when you see that I’m top of the world and I don’t care about you. 
Do you know that I’m with somebody else? Holding on and won’t let go, won’t let go
Some day you’ll be sorry when you see that I’m top of the world and I don’t care about you

Distant Memories

Lyrics:

Didn’t know that I would find a love,  love like this
I grew up thinking that I’d find love, didn’t know what it meant but ideas fade, everything seemed gray and you showed up, there you were when you came into my world, wasn’t ready for needing more/

Your eyes they always melt me down, they melt me down and I can’t deny my love for you 
Your eyes they always melt me down, they melt me down and I can’t deny my love for you 

And I heard you say you love me and I felt the same when I stepped into your light, didn’t want to waste a day, didn’t want to hold back, just wanted you to stay

Your eyes they always melt me down, they melt me down and I can’t deny my love for you 
Your eyes they always melt me down, they melt me down and I can’t deny my love for you

This is a super rough demo of a song I wrote titled Odd Pixels. I never finished the lyrics to this song. Had the melody ideas and playing around with words to get inspired but didn’t get it done. I wasn’t even sure if this song was any good but going through old files and just want to post it.

Odd Pixels (Demo)

This is a demo of a song called Activate for our band COPIA. 

Lyrics:

When I wonder why, I know I’m on eggshells
on my own 
I’m not in your head 
Don’t know what’s going on, on inside

Where ever you will go so will I 
Where ever you will go

All I want and need is to tell me that you want and need me too, it’s all I need from you 

I don’t understand where you are coming from on my own 
Im not in your heart, don’t know what’s bottled up, buried inside 

All I want and need is to tell me that you want and need me too, it’s all I need from you 
 
All I want and need is to tell me that you want and need me too. it’s all I need from you 

I’m not in your heart, don’t know what’s bottled up buried inside

Activate (Demo) - COPIA

This song is the opening track to my band COPIA’s self titled E.P. 

Lyrics: 

Apocalyptic dead end future up ahead/
I bet my tongue in spite/
I count my sheep back from a hundred in my head/
but my eyes are open wide/
the world revolves somewhere in outer space, an infinite dimension/
I lay and watch the moon descend again, it comes to an end/
My thoughts continue and collide/
I bite my nails and pinch myself again/The void of space/
I’m waiting for planets to align/ 
The world revolves somewhere in outer space, an infinite dimension/
Somehow I exist with improbable odds/
Everything is falling with all that I believe/
These are the things I’m counting

Dead End Future - COPIA

Lyrics: 

Are you okay?
I’m begging you to tell me
Do you feel the same? 
I wouldn’t dare to doubt moments when we disagreed 
I didn’t know what to think
floating in a sea of doubts 

I didn’t want to forget the way I felt
the tide is always changing
I didn’t want to remain in all my pain

Are you okay?
Why won’t you tell me again? 
Don’t shut me out 
I need to know where we stand 
Are you in or are you out? 
Just wanna know how you feel
Floating in a sea of clouds 

I don’t know what I would do without you here
The tide is always changing 
but I don’t wanna remain in all my pain
I didn’t want to forget the way I felt
The tide is always changing
But I don’t want to remain in all my pain, in all my pain

Sea of Clouds

Lyrics: 

Look across the ocean, 
where the waves and shore compete,
I’m a spec in this deep water
and I’m trying not to sink
baby I look out across the skyline,
where the clouds and sun compete,
I’m a fragment of the shoreline, 
trying not to over think

Laugh it off, escape my inhibitions,
focus on the things I can control,
maybe (baby) I’ll be fine,
I wouldn’t want to waste the days that I have,
focus on the things I can control 
and maybe (baby) I’ll be fine 

Out here in the open, 
even though it’s dry under the sun,
and even when there isn’t much to gather,
things adapt, find ways to grow 

Laugh it off, escape my inhibitions,
focus on the things I can control, 
maybe (baby) I’ll be fine,
I wouldn’t want to waste the days that I have,
focus on the things I can control
and maybe, maybe I’ll be fine. 
I’ll be fine

Perspective

Growing Pain
I remember the times when we were young
I remember thinking that was fun
I remember when we were relaxed
I remember not having a thing on my mind
Where would I be without my youth?
And I wasn’t looking for a change
And I wasn’t looking for a lane
And I didn’t know where I would be?
And I wasn’t keeping track of my time
But where would I be without my youth? 

Do you remember all the pressure? 
All the effort you learned over time?
Don’t forget your past, 
Don’t forget where you came from. 
You’d do it all again
Do you remember all the failures?
All the lessons you learned over time? Don’t forget your past, don’t forget where you came from
you’d do it all again. 
Are you waiting for forgiveness?
Do you need to free yourself from sins? 
Don’t forget that you were young once. 
You’d do it all again. 

Don’t forget to smile when you are old
Don’t forget to practice what you’ve told
Don’t forget to hold your head up high
Don’t forget to always keep an open mind
Where would you be without youth

Growing Pain

Lyrics:
What if we can see our way ahead? 
Would you want to know the outcome?
Would we need to change our ways?
What if we could go back in the past,
Would you listen to yourself?
Would you even give it a chance? 

All that I hold so close to me, doesn’t matter if it’s perfect, not expecting it to be, 
all that I hold so close to me, worth the effort through the ups and downs, no way I’d rather be 

what if we could right the wrong side of things, moving right along in harmony? get on, get on, get on with it would we take it all for granted in the end? guess we’ll never know let’s not pretend, let’s move on, move on, move on from it

Here and Now

In your eyes, their covered by the color red and 
brain is dead makes you color blind 
you might find the answers that you’re looking for 
but you will ignore any logic
we’re all deceived to disbelieve of this strange world 

we’ve been wandering around 
It’s a strange world
we’ve been wandering around
it’s a strange world

our thoughts, a maze, don’t know the language to decipher 
we seem so lost in translation 
we don’t know if what we wanted was our own, 
was it my decision? 
we’re all deceived to disbelieve in this strange world 

we’ve been wandering around 
it’s a strange world
we’ve been wandering around
it’s a strange world 
we’ve been wandering around
it’s a strange world
it’s a strange world

Strange World

Everybody knows my business
I put it up for everyone to see
a perfect life, with everything 
Remember the handle with my name
we are not the same 
until we are all just miserable
and we can influence how we need to be
keep scrolling, find that dopamine
don’t know what I’m searching for 
just know that I need some more 

I can’t keep doing this to myself
I know it’s on me, I’m so sorry
I won’t paint a little picture, 
a pretty little picture of my world
not to you again 

Everybody knows my business
I wasn’t careful with my words 
just told everyone ‘bout how I feel
posted a picture of the day, everything is great 
filtered out the moments in between
where life exists, it’s everything 

I can’t keep doing this to myself 
I know it’s on me, I’m so sorry
I cant paint a little picture, 
a pretty little picture of my world 
not to you again

I love making music and want to share it. This page is to post old songs from previous bands I’ve been in, demos I’ve made at home and everything in between.
