It's hard to say
"I don't know where I am"
I reach for ties that I have broken,
They slip right through my hands 

I cannot grasp reality
Or fall asleep tonight
I'm losing track of memories
Pictures bleed in black and white 

Just who am I 
In this empty blue
No one calls my name anymore
So how can I hear you???

It's so hard to breathe 
In this ocean of despair 
Can you hear my heartbeat?
Endless rhythms left to bear

I wish that I could fly
I think of places I would go
Just fall into my eyes [Fall...]
There you'll find all you wish to know
[Fall...] 
(Just who am I 
In this empty blue
No one knows my name anymore
So how can I hear you??? (X2)

It's so hard to leave,
I love what's left and broken down
I'm always looking up
My head is buried in the clouds 
[Fall...]
Just who am I 
In this empty blue
No one calls my name anymore
So how can I hear you???

Four On The Floor (Empty Blue)

You sing softly
While I drift to sleep
You al-ways knew 
How to get to me...
I cry softly
When we say good bye
You al-ways knew
How to lie....
Your green eyes will be (my demise)
All this time I can't seem to find
(You)
[And so tell me something
I don't already know
Your-so -guilty, trembling
Wondering where you'll go..
Just don't tell me, something
That I already know 
I'm so EMPTY, shaking
I don't want you to go....]
We dance slowly
In between the lines
You can't hold me
With your alibis 
I feel nothing
Underneath this smile
Could you say something ?
I'm in denial 
Your green eyes will be (my demise)
All this time I can't seem (to find)
(You)
[And so tell me something
I don't already know
Your-so -guilty, trembling
Wondering where you'll go..
Just don't tell me, something
That I already know 
I'm so EMPTY, shaking
I don't want you to go....]

Demise (Green Eyes) **Extra Message @ End**

I'm so shallow 
It never affects me much..
Are you hollow? Cuz I can't tell if you have a heart. 
And fields of sorrow.. I'm so lost since you've torn us apart!

It's the hardest thing to tell you I need you 
Since you've gone away 
I taste you I breathe you
Nothing matters much if I can't keep you 
I've become so shallow...

Forgive and move on 
Some things are better left undone 
Counting sirens 
You know I can't -resist -your -call

It's the hardest thing to tell you I need you Since you've gone away I taste you I breathe you Nothing matters much if I can't keep you I've become so shallow...

Like the afternoon in the rain where, 
We sat there wet with no one else around-we finally found-ourselves..

Shallow breaths for shallow hearts - 
The irony that would tear us apart-when no more love could be found... And I drowned ....

Shallow

A rough preview of an upcoming tune "Emily Vain".  I recorded this on a bar stool in one take, hence the name "Bar Stool Session".

LYRICS:
"Emily Vain"
There's a girl named Emily
She could have meant everything to me
Oh her middle name is Vain and I'm walking in plain sight, I'm on my way...

There's a cab at the end of the street
As she waves goodbye to me
Oh the rhythm in my feet and a fever burns deep inside, I'm on my way

[I cannot find my faith
I'm losing ground
I fall and break your surface
With out making sound

Emotionless I follow
The wrong way I know....
Devotion is a gamble
I'm betting I'm not alone.]

I'm a fool for loving you,
But what the hell could I do?
Oh I'm tracing in my mind
Your body and the lines of where you lay last night

[I cannot find my faith
I'm losing ground
I fall and break your surface
With out making sound

Emotionless I follow
The wrong way I know....
Devotion is a gamble
I'm betting I'm not alone.]

Emily Vain (Bar Stool Session)

Lie To Me
I fall down and you follow me
The same shit we're goin through
They cast their stones
And call me names
I feel like I'm gonna die...

Bridge:
Walk to the water's edge
I feel like jumping
There's no more saving grace
I'm not worth loving!

Chorus:
Why would you lie to me
Like you do, like you do
All I need is serenity
Not like you, I'm not like you

Climb further now and leave this place
Til you see the look on my face
Burn deeper now go up in flames
Like the ashes, float away

Bridge:
Walk to the water's edge
I feel like jumping
There's no more saving grace
I'm not worth loving!

Chorus:
Climax:
Don't ever walk away
Don't ever scream my name
Don't ever look my way
I don't wanna see your face (quiet)
(Build)

Lyrics:
"Belief"
You sit there with your lies
Claim to have open eyes
But you can't see a damn thing
And anyone can cry!
Won't make truth out of lies
When you need me to bow down..

Chorus:
And I fall, while you crawl away from me
A sad song and you sing it all wrong
To me...

You sit there drawing lines
Dare me to stand behind them all
Then you push me
And if God makes you happy
Then why are you so angry at me all the time??

Chorus:

[Bridge:
Lay me down
Under the sky
Hold me in
The apple of your eye
Until I find
A way to worm myself inside
Until I dry
To find a rotten core inside....]

Belief (2014)

My latest project for film scoring class at UL. This is an atmospheric track depicting apathy. It's called "Apathy 3" simply because it was the third version of the mix and I liked it best. Please let me know what you think, and tell me what feelings (if any) this track provokes. 

APATHY 3

This is an original song that I wrote, recorded, and mixed at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for my Music Media senior recital. It was inspired by all of the unexpected hardships that I've encountered thus far, in my pursuit of becoming a musician. Thank you for listening.

*LYRICS*
"Six Eight"
I still remember the days
I would lie there with you and watch the play fade
For the rest of my life
I would stand there alone
And wonder why....

Common sense says I'm fine 
I fell before at-least-I'm-trying
We held it out on the line
To hell with you! I'm just not buying...
Into what you're selling me
Into what you make believe 
Into what you're telling me

How could you look in my eyes?
Pull me close to you, then tell all your lies...
If love's the drug, I'm the pill
I never claimed to be your angel...
I hate what you're selling me
I hate what you make believe
I hate what you're telling me...

Wait!!!!! Why can't I breathe?
Plz don't leave!! Wait for me! X2

With all the ways that you are
I'm falling far from you and leaving a scar
If all the world was asleep 
Then why are you the one haunting my dreams????
I need what you're selling me
I need what you make believe
I need what you're telling me

Six Eight (Acoustic)

"Pills" is an original song that I wrote to express the negative effects that toxic relationships have had on my mind, body, and soul. Visit Youtube.com/EthanBlakeProductions for the lyric video.
