I made this song on my phone, so the quality isn't amazing. Listen with headphones :)

EYES

I started writing this song back in November, and I just recently finished it! Don't mind the bad quality, I recorded and edited it on my phone :o also ignore my mediocre ukulele skills!

Lyrics:
Bottle caps scattered on my floor.
Cigarettes seeping from my pores.
When you left I yearned for something more.
Lost regrets buried under her porch.

And as the wind blows my hood off of my head,
I think of you and how I was misled.
And though I dodged a bullet in my heart,
I wonder where you are.
I’ll be at the bar.

Battered lungs from your toxic past.
Memories hung behind dusty glass.
It was fun, but fun never lasts.
When it’s done no one signs the cast.

And as the wind blows my hood off of my head,
I think of you and how I was misled.
And though I dodged a bullet in my heart,
I wonder where you are.
I’ll be at the bar.

I feel so naïve.
I should have known, I should have seen it coming.
Now I just need a drink.
Maybe three..
Cause I’m so angry.

Captive to those unfixed eyes.
Can’t kill that last butterfly.

I'll be at the bar

I've recently acquired a fancy new AKG condenser microphone, and this cover was my first endeavor with it. It's a bit rough around the edges and sounds much better with headphones or on speakers. I used my Yamaha keyboard for the instrumentation, and recorded and edited with Audacity (blech). 

Never  Be Like You - Flume

This is a song I wrote a few months back that I finally got around to recording! Per usual, I used audacity so don't expect much quality wise. There are quite a few inconsistencies and clicks, unfortunately, but if I worked on this song for any longer I probably would have gone insane lol

Lyrics:

You defy typical guidelines
Satisfied by a wild ride
I want nothing more than to come with you

Undefined by another's eyes
Unrefined cause you love your flaws
I could learn a thing or two knowing you

What if you told me that I'm not the one for you
Like you told her
What the hell would I do 
Without you

You hear music in the night
You fear falling but not heights
You've got something more than blood coursing through you

You steer with a risk in sight
I'm a deer in the world's headlights
I could learn a thing or two loving you

What if you told me that I'm not the one for you
Like you told her
What the hell would I do 
Without you

You're a hopeless romantic
and I've found love problematic
I'll remain optimistic
Cause you and I are effortless

What if you told me (told me) that I'm not the one for you (I'm not the one)
Like you told her (Tell me the truth, tell me the truth)
What the hell would I do 
Without you

Without You

I was laying in bed bored and too lazy to set my microphone up, so I just recorded this for fun on the garageband app on my phone!
(quality sucks on laptop speakers)

So This is Love

Lyrics:

Do you remember dancing in your living room
Late one night after a drink or two
Or when you whispered in my ear out of the blue
"I think I'm getting attached to you"

Ooh boy I couldn't get enough of your sweet taste
My lipstick permanently stained upon your face
And though my tie dye kisses always left a trace
You never shied away, shied away from my embrace

I don't understand why this is happening
Why did this happen to me
Was it all in my head
This is what happens
This is what happens
When you're naive, naive.

My adjectives for you were rare and genuine
Took guts to share the things you admitted
You used your ingenuity to manipulate me
Hid your baggage cause it was too heavy

You played me months on end over again, a pawn
Yet I'd play chess for you not to be gone
I know my novice ass would lose, don't get me wrong
But twisted minds make suffering prolonged
Mmm

I don't understand why this is happening
Why did this happen to me
Was it all in my head
This is what happens
This is what happens
When you're naive, naive.

It's been a month and then two and three
And you'll be there forgetting about me
And it could be a year or it could be five
And I'll be here still fucking crying.

I don't understand why this is happening
Why did this happen to me
Was it all in my head
This is what happens
This is what happens
When you're naive, naive.

Naive
Naive to think you'd love me.
