Blackbird (Nina Simone cover)

recorded around 1999.

Lyrics:

We're so small in her
She can't see us
But I can still feel her love
All around
When she's giving it out

When she's in agony
I feel her pain
When she's in love
I feel her joy

Mother

...and all green lights mean go directly to me
and I think god is directly saving me
and the girl in my head,
the most prominent personality
died from a mortal wound, a fatal flaw
it was natal law
disadvantaged from the start

yet she talked the loudest, and took over me
now I'm one less of me
I can't find what she felt, feel what she found
I'm lacking something god took away from me

a splinter removed from the tree
and I can't see where I'm going
can't feel what I'm knowing
ignorance born again unto me
happy new day, happy new life
and I just died
how many lives will pay the price of promising to finish the race?
it is starting again
and all green lights mean go to me.

a splinter

I wanna paint so perfectly
the extension of my hand to your face
and recreate how I can come closer and closer
to leaving a trace
of what I mean, right now

An urgent message to send to you
I have an urgent message to send to you
You who catches it first
Sincerely, from me to you
from me to you
from me to you
I have an urgent message
to send to you
Sincerely, from me to you

leaving a trace

stuff I recorded on my computer in my late teens and early 20's around the years 2003-2005. bad quality, out of tune, static, background noise, bad playing, etc, in all its full glory.

lyrics:
I stand through, don't react to
while wild fury is blowing inside
and no face could be made to try to tell the story to all this shit

and I'm withholding acts of violence
and a heavy note waits behind my eyes
I don't even sigh

no, no, no, no connection to be found
a lost city somewhere in there
it gets no light, no air, no love, no care
no care

my temperance is a straitjacket
and the few things I mutter get lost in this place
and my hand covers my mouth

14 Song Twins I

I'm not invisible at all
I'm sitting here with just the walls
Across the land you're...
God knows what

I'm delusional
I'm no angel at all
I'm no angel at all

I try to sleep and wake
I try to drink and eat
And I work and play
I'm human

I want to be a good human
Such a great thing to be
Honestly

01 Start Over

Something draws you near
The one you love now
And around the corner
A door to bail

Don't fear what's there
Just stay here

How something brings you to this place
Goes unnamed
Perhaps so you can't tell a soul
And what would words mean to a soul anyway?

On and on
On and on
On and on the cycle goes
And I'm glad to be a part of the unknown

My joy mostly lies just a step away
And I feel its warmth with every inching step
And if I never look back
I will be closer, closer
Closer yet

And most of this tedious laboring
Just to feel the effect
But is it ever really there?
Is it ever really there?

01 Goes Unnamed

Since it's like this
Maybe I'll fake attack
Nothing gets me going like neglect

May as well be a monster
Gets my heart beating
Keeps me breathing

This interaction is a jump in a cold lake

lyrics by The Cure:

please wake up
it's so dark and cold
please wake up
I feel so alone

and I feel so scared that you're going away

I'll never tell you all the different ways
all the different ways you make me so afraid

and all I want is summer and stories from before
just like the day you tried to climb behind the churchyard wall
and fell asleep before I came
I found you in a chain of flowers
sleeping like a marble girl
sleeping in another world

I'll never tell you all the different ways
all the different ways you make me so afraid

lyrics by The Cure:

give me your eyes that I might see the blind man kissing my hand
the sun is humming, my head turns to dust
as he plays on his knees

the sand and the sea grows
I close my eyes
move slowly through drowning waves
going away on a strange day

and I laugh as I drift in the wind
blind dancing on a beach of stone
cherish the faces as they wait for the end
and the faces...

a sudden hush across the water
and we're here again

and the sand and the sea grows
I close my eyes
move slowly through drowning waves
going away on a strange day

my head falls back and the walls crash down
and the sky and the impossible explode
held for one moment, I remember a song
an impression of sound, and then everything is gone forever

a strange day

03 A Strange Day

lyrics by The Cure:

remember how it used to be
when the sun would fill the sky
remember how we used to feel
those days would never end
those days would never end

remember how it used to be
when the stars would fill the sky
remember how we used dream
those nights would never end
those nights would never end

02 To Wish Impossible Things

lyrics by The Cure:

show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
the one that makes me scream she said
the one that makes me laugh she said
and threw her arms around my neck
show me how you do it, and I promise you, I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you

spinning on that dizzy edge, I kissed her face and kissed her head
and dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow
why are you so far away she said
why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
that I'm in love with you

you, soft and only
you, lost and lonely
you, strange as angels dancing in the deepest oceans
twisting in the water, you're just like a dream
you're just like a dream

daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
and moving lips to breathe her name, I opened up my eyes
and found myself alone, alone, alone above a raging sea
that stole the only girl I love, and drowned her deep inside of me

you, soft and only
you, you're lost and lonely
you, just like heaven

01 Just Like Heaven

Fortune

Sent away the rainy day
The dark gray clouds
And monsters biting at your toes
With such quiet simplicity
Nobody ever knows
Nobody ever knows

The far away stare in your eyes
Recalling those times
They think you're easy
Really easy
And any which way you'll go

Nobody was notified
Nobody wrote a book
Or took a second look
On those days that you slayed
That which threatened your peace
And at this point, if they knew
They'd turn away
Turn away, turn away
Turn away from you

Who do they think they are?
They think you're easy
Really easy

Watch them turn away
Watch them turn away
Turn away from you

The Graduate

Tom play by the rules
You know it's killing us
Your wide smile fools us
You know you're driving us mad

Tom play by the rules
Tom play by the rules

You walk in the room
And tell us a story
Of how God hates a coward
And your clothes are shiny
And you never reply
When we ask you
Why you don't play
You don't play
You don't play by the rules
You don't play by the rules

Tom stop lying
Every step, every breath is fake
Like your smile
And you keep coming back

Tom play by the rules
Tom play by the rules
Tom play by the rules
Tom

You were pushed in
Under the waves
At first it was cold
You started to scream
And all I could see
Were bubbles at the surface

Lift yourself up and breathe
It might hurt for a while
It might burn inside
But just breathe
Just breathe

I didn't feel the vibrations
You could pull me underwater
To feel your every move
But I didn't understand your words
Couldn't hear, could just see
The rippling above you

Lift yourself up and breathe
It might hurt for a while
It might burn inside
But just breathe
Jump out of the water and breathe

Breathe

This is to be a drawing
Not a maze
A way of nodding
And not talking

No way to depict
Where you came from
No beauty that's fit
To tell your story
So just shut up

Some keep trying
All fools like me
Some pretend they just don't know
But I'll never believe their lies
I'll never believe their lies

I'd rather be disgraced
And never show my face
Than to pretend I'm not on to you all
I'm on to you all
You might as well give up
You might as well give up
You might as well give up
I'm on to all of you
I'm on to all of you

Track 03

Was going to use this in a school project to fade out during the credits of a video, so it's not the whole song. This is NOT me playing guitar, I wish.
