Peter

a song I wrote a couple days ago (5/5/18) and have been working on it since.

LYRICS:
VERSE ONE:
Your sun lightens my world
your smile brightens my day
you know who you are

I love how you laugh
I hate to see you cry
I know who we are

Chorus One:
We are one
Together to ride this out
We are one

VERSE TWO:
When you surround me
I see a different side of me
I never get to show

It makes me feel so worthy
My love is so immensely divided into you

PRE-CHORUS:
Learning to be better 
starting to understand who we are

Chorus Two:
We are one
Together to ride this out
We are one
I'm never gonna let you down

Instrumental Bridge

Chorus Three:
We are one
Together to ride this out
We are one
I'm never gonna let you down

Yeah, I'm never gonna let you down
No, I think I let you down
No, I think I let you down
I think I let you down

I've shown the grey in our ways
We're the near the end of our days
I know what we are

We Are One (Let You Down)

We Are One (Let You Down) (Acoustic)

Wrote this in May.

LYRICS:
I don't know what I am
I Don't know what I've become
Oh something has woken up in me and it's tearing up my stream
I feel the wake grow within me.

I see a whole new line of people
Lining up to get their fill
It's across my way
It's really hard to stay with a whole new lot of people

CHORUS:
And I'm surrounded by trees
and they all try to breath through me
Growing far in the distance longing for a bigger fulfillment
and I can't foresee what this'll do to me

VERSE 2:
You say I've figured it all out
My mask is sewed on tight
Reflecting my innocence of what you perceive of me
I'll portray it differently

CHORUS X2:
And I'm surrounded by trees
and they all try to breath through me
Growing far in the distance longing for a bigger fulfillment
and I can't foresee what this'll do to me

Wake

Lyrics:

Here you come across again
the finish line is yours my friend
seems to me you're out of breath
you broke down I can't protect you

There you are down again
the broken image of my friend
seems to me we're out of touch
terrible but it's enough for you

Grow Your hair and let the rain fall
let these flowers grow so tall
quick to wit you're so full of it
take away all the life I crave

Crossing from a distance the near shadow enters my mind
Greets me with a warm welcome and tells me I'll be just fine
I just gotta be patient

"I've laid down a road for you and I need you to follow
You'll come across a path thats new but I understand this: you'll be alright"
I just gotta savor this

Grow Your hair and let the rain fall
let these flowers grow so tall
quick to wit you're so full of it
take away all the life I crave

Just don't go too fast
I know you'll be going away
and this is something to do on your own
One day I'll make the pain go away

Grow Your hair and let the rain fall
let these flowers grow so tall
quick to wit you're so full of it
take away all the life I crave

Crave

Yeah I'm not gonna care what you think anymore
It makes my life such a bore
My colors always changing
or am I just conforming?
Your Reflection stays the same and you're the only one to blame
Don't tell me the contrary I can see you from a mile away

Here we go again crossing off the list again drafting these plots in your head again. Am I in your conscience?
Start with the end this where hit all began cut out from the wide world again. Oh am I, deep inside your conscience?
Take a breath looking back heart attack don't regret all the facts that retract deep inside, living in your conscience?
Hold up come on. Take a seat next to me take a second have a drink tell me what you think deep inside your conscience

Lying to yourself ain't gonna give you that help
that you claim to crave before you rot inside your grave
I can't think of any reasons for you not to pursue what you wanna do
we are out here, we are not scared we'll accept you with open arms

CHORUS

I don't wanna sound cliche
from what I said the other day
you can only go one way
and thats all I'm gonna say

Wait, what was I talking about again?
Thats right, I was deep inside our consciousness
I think I've had a little bit too much tonight
I'm gonna let this go before I fuck this up

Consciousness

Alright:

"Alright" she said to me
Filling the room with her energy
I'd ask for her to sit on my lap again

"Alright" she said to me
Constantly showing off her beauty
I'd ask for her to share her day with me

CHORUS:
Hey baby girl I really miss your pretty face
and I wish I didn't leave that way
Hey baby girl I really wish we'll meet again
Until then I'll write you songs

"Alright" she said to me
There's no way I could feel the same
I'd ask her "Why? I'd love to be that guy."

"Alright" she said to me
But you gotta tuck me under the sheets 
your rooms so cold if only it matched your soul

Be gentle with the time we have
it's not like we get it back
But I'm optimistic
I don't wanna miss this

Alright.

CHORUS:
Hey baby girl I really miss your pretty face
and I wish I didn't leave that way
Hey baby girl I really wish we'll meet again
Until then I'll write you songs

BRIDGE:
I miss the way you curl into me
The way you smile up at me
Her laugh is a sweet melody
and I wanna play it on repeat

CHORUS:
Hey baby girl I really miss your pretty face
and I wish I didn't leave that way
Hey baby girl I really wish we'll meet again
Until then I'll write you songs

Alright

Lyrics:

Cross the room
Down the line
Will you ever let me know if you're fine

Across the street
With an enemy
who doesn't even look me in the eyes

And I think that I'm deserving
to feel outside the norm
and break through this awful storm 
in my mind
that I think I've formed
and like to control
though wondering gets the best of me

CHORUS:
Quietly I find myself surrounded
Driving the forces away
They come across always knowing
How to keep myself away

VERSE 2:
I'm reaching past 
your empty glass
full of the memories that won't last

and unaware of the time we share
and what we think will come next

and you think you're deserving 
to feel outside the norm
forgetting that you've transformed
in my mind
into something new
I must warn you

CHORUS:
Quietly I find myself surrounded
Driving the forces away
They come across always knowing
How to keep myself away

BRIDGE:
I nearly lost myself again
not really sure if I'll even start again
but I'm writing down my thoughts with a paper and pen
thought this is how I'll let you in
and I don't really mind your presence anymore
I think I can finally close that door
cause we'll find each other when we're lost again
thought this is how I'll let you in 

I can even expand on that 
we're giving it all and not getting enough back
and I know we're all supposed to care
even if we don't think that life is fair

CHORUS X2:
Quietly I find myself surrounded
Driving the forces away
They come across always knowing
How to keep myself away

Quietly Surrounded

Lyrics:

Emerging from the dark 
and conquering your heart
you're taking over me
I'm the plant to your seed.

And rest your body over mine
It's where I can confide
I'll tell you about the time
Your eyes locked into mine

You're in a vulnerable state
I could easily make a mistake 
If I said something wrong
Will you still sing this song

CHORUS:
I am forever a part of you
our hearts just can't undo
the love that I'll always have for you
do you feel it too?
The answer I need to know
Will it always show
In the darkest of days
Will you feel the same?

Cause I have doubts about myself
am I giving away too much?
or have you had enough?
is it time to walk away and find 
something new something different something better
I'm just a shadow from a fallen feather
and I'm floating in the wind
Just remember when I always sing

CHORUS:
I am forever a part of you
our hearts just can't undo
the love that I'll always have for you
do you feel it too?
The answer I need to know
Will it always show
In the darkest of days
Will you feel the same?

Bridge/Verse 3:
I can elaborate
Oh tell me what's my fate
is my vibe something you like or kinda hate?
You can't escape from the fate goodness sake please don't flake or be late
I write enough rhymes just to pass the time
Call me ironic when I'm being platonic
I can't shake this off this heart of mine
can you feel it beat out time?
and your face always lingers in my mind 
I think it's all fine
the thought of you eases up my mind
and I'm just floating like a feather in the wind
you can take it as win
you can take it as win

Feather

Lyrics:

We would go to the beach every time we hung out
I love when the sand mixes up in our bags
and we carry it home with us unintentionally
I went just to look at your eyes intensely 

Oh the stars are even out tonight
I wanna stay with you all night
I see more in this new light
I wanna stay with you all night

All night
I wanna stay with you all night

Thought you'd remember my old tricks
Yeah I knew that they would always stick
In that precious mind of yours
That always hit me right to the core

I can see all the insight
Can I stay baby all night?
I see more in this new light
I wanna stay with you all night

All night
I wanna stay with you all night

Building up a memory filling up the time
Watching all the days pass knowing that you're mine
Your love is patient
Your love is kind
You got me in a trace feeling sublime
we create moments to last a lifetime
going back I know I wouldn't rewind
we have so much more to unwind
you always show there's more to find

and I won't give up a fight
I wanna stay with you all night
I see more in this new light
I wanna stay with you all night

All night
I wanna stay with you all night

All Night
