I can't sing hallelujah
It reminds me of her
She who you left me for
The woman I'm not any more

So I'll sing broken words instead
I'll pray to the gods who are left
I'm not the angel, the angel you wanted
And God doesn't know my name

I knelt at the alter
And I drank the holy water
But still I'm just the same
Jesus can't save me from my pain

God Doesn't Know My Name

I walked around this circling sun
I walked a straight line into you
Thoughts paralyse a smile just begun
Bleeding tears long overdue
Give me something I can hold
That can't be taken away
I'll keep it as a corpse growing old
Until it fades to grey

Everybody's crazy, but I'm insane
They're all crying, but I feel the pain
Nobody's listening, because nobody hears
A little girl dying
Killed by her fears

Choke my belief
Useless muse and exhaled dust
Lost because of you, well that's my excuse
Two lovers kissing in love with lust

Crazy Insane

I've dragged about this place
I've been spread and scraped thin
I've already found the end
So now where do I begin

Give me your hand so I can stand still
But don't be a rock for the weak and the pale
In these shoes I've stood many times
Not walking anywhere, except in my mind

The flowers that you gave to me
That I locked in a vase turned to popuri
They stopped looking so pretty
All life sheds its leaves of green

The soldiers are marching
To the chimes of the city clock
I'm clad in black
One foot off the dock

Leaves of Green

She Got Your Heart

Paris

I'm not the person you wanted me to be
I won't live blindly
You say you don't need anybody
But, babe, you need everybody

Bird by bird
Were our words
Bird by Bird
I misheard

Shake me out of apathy
With the song of my truth
Your lie is not a victory
It hurts

I'm not your trophy
I won't sit silently
Don't tell me to look pretty
Babe, you don't really get me

Bird by Bird

Shake It Off

Dylan Jay - Guitars, Vocals, Harmonica

I'm using Soundcloud as a way to meet other musicians who are interested in starting a band. I'm more of a songwriter and a guitarist than a singer, so these songs are demos, rather than the finished thing at the moment, while I try a few ideas out. Feel free to leave feedback, and I hope you enjoy!
