Top 50: Folk & Singer-Songwriter

Folk & Singer-Songwriter

Believe me when I said
I wish I chose these words instead
I would rewrite them
But I'm not much of a poet

And all of our friends all gathered there
I wanted to ask but I just stare
I found a strand of your hair
On my Jawbreaker shirt

Everyone believes
In their own bullshit
You have cigarette breathe
And I just can't quit

I'm afraid of the quiet
That comes along with it
So I just swallow the words
And choke on them

And you go walking in your garden
Where everything is dead
"If you loved them
You would water them anyway"

No, no you treat me like a book
So many pages overlooked
I wonder if you'll buy my story
This time

And I guess owe a debt
I should just pay it off instead
I really want things to work out
This time

And it feels like pulling teeth
To see which one of us cares the least
If I didn't why would I even
Try?

Jawbreaker Shirt

Summer 2022 freestyle. Symbolism. I'm not sure depression will allow me to do anything else, so I decided it was better to post this demo than to leave it gathering dust like all the other songs.
Thank you all and love you all. Take care and be happy.
LYRICS:

"...heavylungs is a genius..."

— No. 

When you open your eyes
I'll show you the sky
Whatever's on your mind
I'll make (bring) it to life

Look up and you'll see fluffy clouds
Look down and you'll see our house
No pain. Flowers grow all around
This is our personal town

So feel it like past go out
You happy, Let's say it out loud
I always keep all my vows
Cuz I'm just a corpse in the ground

"...heavylungs is crazy!.. I told you!..."


Tried To Stop Entropy

"Come on home, 
Don’t be alone,
It’s time to give up all you own,
Don’t ever say you never cared

Don’t feed the lies, 
Just realize,
And feast your eyes on this surprise
That never came that wasn’t there

Don’t give your heart
Don’t give your soul
Don’t give it room for it to grow
It’s not the same when it’s not fair

I can’t agree 
to let you see, 
The part of you that’s part of me
So let me breath and fix this tear 

And oh (oh I wait)
I wait (for you)
For you (my dear) 
My Dear (my dear)

I spend my days stuck in a haze
and on display
forever ‘mazed they call my name 
I say goodbye

I feel the ropes
they watch me breath
They let me go, they let me see
They let me know that I can’t hide

And oh (oh I wait)
I wait (for you)
For you (my dear) 
My Dear (my dear)

And I know,
And I See
The stars will rise again


And I hope
And I dream
The Stars will shine again

And I hope
And I See
The stars will rise again

And I hope
And I dream
The stars will shine again

Now I know, Now I feel
The walls are closing in

Now I know, now I feel
The walls are closing in

And I’m lost
So I kneel,
The stars will shine again"

Thanks for swinging by!
Your friends,
OFFDAZE

Rise Again

And here we are
And I don't know this is goodbye
And here we are
And I don't realize this will be the last time
Freedom comes in many forms and shapes
And sometimes it costs more than you can take
But it's okay
Time is elusive
Just illusions withering away
And I'm not sorry for what we go through to find our inner truth
And I can feel it
And you would know
Cuz we are kindred
We knew all along

_Black Witch_v1

with Bro. Nins



And he showed me a river 

of water of life, 

bright as crystal, 

proceeding out of the throne of God 

and of the Lamb 

in the middle 

of its street.

And He said to me

Drink

of My river of water 

of life

Drink

Of what truly satisfies

My supply will not fail you

And My river will carry you through

If you come to Me

Your loving King

And drink



AND HE SHOWED ME A RIVER (AND HE SAID TO ME DRINK)

In “Carrie and Lowell,” Sufjan Stevens is a child again or, more specifically, the child character in the family of man drama that often but not always centers on the story of love given, or love forsaken, but isn’t that the same thing to the poet? That the love Stevens sings about having left or given or been born to–thank you, Carrie–is a perceptible wound not only on the singer’s throat, but his sleeve: he wears love’s incomprehensibility, and the deep incomprehensibility of being a son, like a backing vocal on “Carrie and Lowell,” which is also filled with colors, hearts, trees, conclusions, and beginnings,

Lyrics
Cold bones, yeah that's my love
She hides away, like a ghost
Does she know that we bleed the same?

Don't wanna cry but I break that way
Cold sheets, oh where's my love?

I am searching high, I'm searching low in the night
Does she know that we bleed the same?
Don't wanna cry but I break that way

Did she run away
Did she run away, I don't know
If she ran away
If she ran away, Come back home
Just come home

I got a fear, oh in my blood
She was carried up into the clouds, high above
If you bled I'll bleed the same
If you're scared I'm on my way

Did you run away
Did you run away, I don't need to know
If you ran away
If you ran away, come back home
Just come home

Never again...

Lyrics:
Oooooo, waaaaay
Ooooooo

I told myself the last time
I wasnt gone love again
Met up wit that girly
Now we bein way more than just friends

You need space
I need time
You get mad
While I write rhymes

Try to explain what I feel in my mind
But they never come off right when u misunderstand first time

So you sayin that im just an asshole
But no way I was tryna be more

All this constant connections
And this constant relation
I cant keep spewing from my mouth

You wanted something you predicted
I just wanted us to work out

(hook)

So we fought
Then you lied

Tried to keep me cool
When I saw u with those guys

I am not a humble man
I got red in the eyes

Told you never to go near me again
Or speak to none my guys




You blocked me on everything
You shunned all my work
I heard from my spies
That you tried sum dat dirt

I dont really care anymore
Called my love a whore

Said in my last song I wrote about you that I would give up on love if you gave up on me
So now im just sitting in my room oh so lonely
I scream out my pain but I keep it so lowkey like

Lyrics:
Up the glock at the party make these pussy wanna bounce
Boy its Funny how you runnin when Im splittin up the crowd
Everytime I dip the function boy you wanna run ya mouth
everytime we face to face you wanna gas me for some clout

Ima nerd
A turd
Give a fuck bout watchu heard

Oh you like old roshi
You a goddam poser

You dont even know who the dakoulas blackman was
You dont even know the things I had to do in the mud
Quit acting like we buddies boy we never talked once
I been sittin in my room alone I barely like hugs

See the point is
I was never fuckin famous

Yall didnt hear shit
Now yall got yall to blame it

I didnt have plays on
None my old shit
No one gave a fuck
So nobodys gonna see it

All you weak ass pussies tryna make me defeatist
Man not one song ever gettin deleted
