Sunrise Cover (Norah Jones)

A layered acoustic song that I wrote a while ago - hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics:

I’ll be in all your pictures
Even though they’re all fictitious 
I know they’re all in my 
Mind of madness heart of sorrow
Wouldn’t you like to borrow me?
I’ll take you for a spin
I know it’s impossible
For me to win
I think I’ve just lost to you
Again
Again

Tell me all your desires
And I will try my best to inspire
Them to become a
Gift of gladness land of laughter
Isn’t that what you’re after no?
I’ll take you for a spin
I know it’s impossible
For me to win
I think I’ve just lost to you
Again	
Again
Again

Sometimes it’s happens
Sometimes it doesn’t
But does it even really matter?

Take me out of the darkness
To a place where we can talk this
Through without a
Doubt in my mind not going in blind
I swear that this time you really got me good
I’ll take you for a spin
I know it’s impossible
For me to win
I think I’ve just lost to you
I’ll take you for a spin
I know it’s impossible
For me to win
I think I’ve just lost to you
Again
Again
Again

Fictitious

One of the most depressing songs I have ever written, that's for sure! Hope you like the wah solo at the end...

Lyrics:

I must say you're looking fine today
I must say you're looking the wrong way
Not at me
Don't go I need it in my life
You don't know how much I need to lie
Not what you see

And I will be comfortable as long as you're near me
And I will be comfortable as long as you're near me
As long as you feed me
As long as you give me more

Last night I felt you in a dream
Held tight you hurt me in a dream
How can you?
You touched me, you made me wanna scream
Who is she? Your pain and misery 
Now in my dreams

And I won't be comfortable as long as you're near me
And I won't be comfortable as long as you're near me
As long as you feed me
As long as you give me more

As Long As

Lyrics:

Well I got a million deadlines to meet
And I don’t wanna meet any of them
Coz I got shit to do like sleep
I know it’s lazy but I can’t pretend
To act like it’s my concern

Coz I got a million deadlines to meet
And I don’t wanna meet any of them
Coz I got shit to do like eat
I know it’s crazy but I just can’t pretend
To act like it’s my concern

Because I’m sick of all the games
They’ve put in my head to figure out
Because I’m tired of all the strains
They’ve put on my mind to think about
And when these deadlines come and go
You know they spin my head right round
Well am I stupid or just slow?
At working out where I belong
I don’t think they understand

Well I am a million miles away
Just let me drift off in my head
The dreary days they’re making me feel
That it’s not worth it I just can’t pretend
To act like it’s my concern

(Chorus)

They know I don’t support their lies 
And all their methods I despise
They know I’m lazy but I’m crazy
They amaze me when they say to me
It’s alright
You’ll be fine

(Chorus)

A Million Deadlines

This is a home recording of our first original song, written by Jesse. We hope you like it!

Lyrics:

Sometimes I get so worried
When there’s nothing to worry about
Sometimes I get so nervous
Lying here just trying to work out
What I’m doing here
In this cruel world
Where we just want more
Things to forget
Who we really are
It’s not too bad
Once you get used to it
But it still makes me sad
To think I miss you quite a bit

Sometimes I feel so bad
Even when there’s nothing to feel bad about
And when I feel so bad
It’s like the world has turned me inside out

And then you look at me with hate
It’s like I’ve made a big mistake
And then I write a stupid song
Even though I did nothing all along

And then I see it all go wrong
Even though there was nothing I did wrong
And then I throw it all away
Thinking life just never goes my way


Sometimes

A song I wrote about a year ago that I've finally got around to recording. Hope you enjoy it :)

Lyrics:

Show me what’s right
I’m stuck outside because of you
When you know
Where will it go?
I don’t know

Know what’s right
You know it’s all because of you
That I try and cry and lie all the time
I don’t know
I don’t know

I know you’ve lost sight
And you can’t see me anymore
I find it hard to disregard
All the signs the lines the rhymes the times

That we’ve come so far
And then you throw it all away
Coz even now I don’t know how
It’s still uphill, when will it feel

Like something has just gone
Gone, no more fun

I don’t know how I’m still out here
When I should be in there
I don’t know how I’m still out here
When I should be in there

I guess I’ll move on
Out into a different face
Then I’ll be safe and free
From you two now undo

Like something has just gone
Gone, no more fun

I don’t know how I’m still out here
When I should be in there
I don’t know how I’m still out here
When I should be in there

Show Me What's Right

Another song I wrote at uni last year that has quite a quirky sound to it - hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:

What do you do in a situation where everything seems hopeless?
Do you wait and wait until the time is right then she might give you hope again?
I’m feeling so blue coz infatuation makes me feel so helpless
I’m always just too late when the time is wrong, how will I ever love again?

There are no words to describe my feelings for you
But now I’m just a show
And you might never know

Why are we still here and going strong after everything I’ve told you?
Is it cos I lied about a feeling inside and now I can’t forgive myself?
Do you cry alone about dying alone coz no one seems to love you?
I must admit I do all because of you and everything I didn’t tell

There are no words to describe my feelings for you
But now I’m just a show
And you might never know
I don’t know where to go
Cos you are all I know

There are no words
