Lyrics:

Once you told me you don't feel the same
Well it's been a while but I think it's time
To be brave and tell you all the things
I never had the courage to say

So before these feelings fade away
I want you to know I'll always look up to you
To your kindness and your encouragement
To always be my best

I could never tell it to you straight
But the truth is you've meant so much to me
So much more than words could ever convey

I just want to hold you close
And tell you everything's alright
I've never been one for more than small affection

You know I'd never hurt you
You know I'd always love you
But I know you'd never want to love someone
Who can't even stand up straight

So this will be the last time
That I tell you how I feel
'Cause I'm sure you must be tired of hearing me
Sing about you again

On and on I keep telling myself
To push these feelings aside
'Cause all this time deep down I've known
You'll never be more than a friend

On and on I keep telling myself
To push these feelings aside
But I guess some things just take a little while
I guess some things just take a little while
I guess some things just take a little while...

A Little While

It's another day
All on my own
Will I keep on making it through?

No one seems to care
I'm not surprised they don't
What am I supposed to do?

There's nothing here
But it's all I know
I don't wanna spend another night in this heartless home

The lonely cold
Makes sure I can't feel my bones
Will I ever find my way?

This dusty coat
Won't help while I'm disowned
What am I supposed to say?

There's nothing here
But it's all I know
I don't wanna spend another night in this heartless home

Have you got a dollar friend?
Have you got a dime?
I need just a few small things
To get through the night
I need anything you got
Thank you sir you've helped a lot I know
Yes I know
I'll get through the night, oh yeah!

I'm all I've got
Out here I'm on my own
I don't wanna spend another night in this heartless home

They're never coming back
Now I'm all alone
I don't wanna spend another night in this heartless home
I don't wanna spend another night in this heartless home

Heartless Home

Every night I wonder if I’m right
I know that it won’t be too long ‘til you’re found out
All the times you look away from me well I
I know that you won’t take too long

You think you can hide the fact
You’re still playing the game

When you’re not here my mind begins to fear
That you’re doing something that you know you shouldn’t do
All the while with your deceptive guile
Do you really think that you’re still safe?

You think you can hide the fact
You’re still playing the

Same the same old game
Am I insane?
Can all this really be the truth?
What if I’m
Losing my mind?
How can I know for sure?

I won’t lie if you’re with another guy
Why won’t you just come out and tell tell me the truth
Please just try to think about this from my side
Don’t you think that you should tell me soon

You think you can hide the fact
You’re still trying to hide the fact
You’re still playing the game

The Game

Lyrics:

He waits in line
For his time to come
It never seems to move

And all this time
He doesn't really mind
What else can he do?

Is it a fault of him?
Or is it a fault of them?
Is it a fault of everyone he's met in all his days?
They all seem to say

Is he anyone to you?
Is he anyone to him?
Is he anyone to anyone?
He's all that he has been

Is he anyone to you?
Is he anyone to him?
Is he anyone to anyone?
The only thing he's got is himself

Ain't it so?
They don't seem to care
Despite his best display

He'll never know
Why they all overlook
What he has to say

What do they think of him?
He thinks the world of them
What's in their heads every single time he walks away?
He wonders every day

Is he anyone to you?
Is he anyone to him?
Is he anyone to anyone?
He's all that he has been

Is he anyone to you?
Is he anyone to him?
Is he anyone to anyone?
The only thing he's got is himself

What if someone else believes in him?
What if someone else has care to give?
Would he ever find the heart to be
Everything they dream?

Is he anyone to you?
Is he anyone to him?
Is he anyone to anyone?
He's all that he has been

Is he anyone to you?
Is he anyone to him?
Is he anyone to anyone?
Is the only thing he's got himself?

Anyone to Anyone

Lyrics:

When I first met you you saved my life
When I first met you I couldn't believe my eyes

Everything was wrong
It wouldn't take long
Our end was near
You were all I had
And through word and act
It was clear

You've got something that no one else in this land has
I won't ever I won't ever understand
You've got something that no one else in this land has
Nobody has to know
You won't let them show
I know it's against all I've known
By the light of the fire we'll find our way

When I first saw your truest self
I knew there couldn't be anyone else

Only in your eyes
Could I find
Your inner self
Everything I thought
Was gone and lost
And I could tell

You've got something that no one else in this land has
I won't ever I won't ever understand
You've got something that no one else in this land has
What did I behold?
You say that it's all you've known
But I know with your warmest glow
By the light of the fire we'll find our way

But then I heard your tale of truth
There was nothing I could do
Mere words could not describe the pain you felt
Your coldness then was wholly understood
It was then that I truly knew

You've got something that no one else in this land has
I won't ever I won't ever understand
You've got something that no one else in this land has
You don't have to be alone
Your trust in me you've shown
We'll get through this together I know
By the light of the fire we'll find our way
By the light of the fire we'll find our way
By the light of your fire we'll find our way

Light of the Fire

A song I wrote for my songwriting class, along with "Alone"!

Lyrics:
I hope you don't mind
That I'm saying all this
But I feel it needs to be said

Once you were a stranger now you're you
It's funny what our minds can do
Well it's been a long time but I've felt this way before
It's a feeling I can't ignore

So do you feel the same?

A single step for you
Is a giant leap for me
Maybe I'm just thinking way too much
And there's one thing left to do
That's to tell you what I think
But am I brave enough?

I see the little things you do
But do they mean the same to you?
Is it all it seems to be?
It's all wonderful to me

So do you feel the same?

A single glance for you
Is a longing gaze for me
Maybe I'm just thinking way too much
And there's one thing left to do
That's to tell you what I think
But am I brave enough?

The day it came at last
Like another moment from my past
When I said the words I longed to hear
But against all I thought
It seems that I was wrong
There was nothing I could say
My mind was all but gone
It was oh so kind of you
To say the things you said
But now I know it's only as a friend

And a single moment for you
Became a single moment for me
I guess I was thinking way too much
Now there's nothing left to do
You know what I feel
I'm just not enough
I'm just not enough
I'm just not enough
I'm just not enough

False Positives

A song I wrote for my songwriting class, along with "False Positives"!

Lyrics:
Can I have a friend?
One that will help me 'til the end yeah
Please just don't pretend
I need someone on which I can depend

I don't wanna be on my own
Alone I'm made up

Won't you be my friend?
Your smile is what I most commend yeah
You know I won't offend
I promise I won't be misread

If I'm alone I might as well not be here
Alone I'm made up

What if I'm not good enough for anybody out there?
What if there's no one left to tell me I'm fair?
What if I'm in no one's mind at all
I'm left alone and on my own
And that ain't a life for anyone to live
I might as well be gone
I don't wanna be alone

All my other friends
Sometimes I wonder do they condescend yeah
Does anybody care
About me or is it better left unsaid?

This is what I think everyday
Alone I'm made up
Alone I'm made up
Alone I'm made up
Alone I'm made up...

Alone

A song I wrote for my music production class, along with "Red Sky"!

Lyrics:
In all your life, did they ever tell a lie?
They'll never tell it to you straight
Never mind, just don't tell them you're not fine
They'll never help 'til it's too late

Well who cares?
They sure don't
Well who cares?
They sure don't

Maybe so, they're not helping 'cause they know
Everyone's got their lives to live
Well that's fine, but will they ever get in line?
Everyone knows there's more to give

Well who cares?
They sure don't
Well who cares?
They sure don't
Well who cares?
They sure don't
Well who cares?
They sure don't, oh no!

Who Cares?

A song I wrote for my music production class, along with "Who Cares?"!

Lyrics:
The red sky at night
Ends my light
But I'll try to fight
To deny this blight

The future's not bright
All I know is

Home is no more in this world
I don't know what to do
I won't last long there's no doubt
So is there any way out?

There's no hope in sight
I don't know why
But I'll give my life
To make things right

The future's not bright
All I know is

Home is no more in this world
I don't know what to do
I won't last long there's no doubt
So is there any way out?

I wish I never arrived
This world is out to end my life
There'll never be an end to this night
Under the red sky

I wish I never arrived
This world is out to end my life
There'll never be an end to this night
Under the red sky

Red Sky

A song I wrote for my songwriting class, along with "The Wait"!

Lyrics:
Everybody everybody wants to be so cool
It's true but they'll be so cruel
And everybody everybody seems to be so rude
It's true so what can we do?

Well I say all you gotta do is be yourself and
Anything'll do 'cause I can tell
That somewhere in there there's a soul that cares
And I say all you gotta do is keep your head and
Anything'll do, just be a friend
'Cause everyone's got a heart to share

Every Dick and Harry thinks they're better than everyone else
You can tell they think they're so swell
All these boys and girls well they know there's no excuse
For abuse but they can't see it through

Well I say all you gotta do is be yourself and
Anything'll do 'cause I can tell
That somewhere in there there's a soul that cares
And I say all you gotta do is keep your head and
Anything'll do, just be a friend
'Cause everyone's got a heart to share

So why oh why do we all stay the same?
None of us want to change
We're the only ones to blame
So just take a moment, it might make you sick, but you'll see
That maybe you've been a prick!

How to be a Well-Mannered Individual

A song I wrote for my songwriting class, along with "How to be a Well-Mannered Individual"!

Lyrics:
He wonders to himself where everybody's gone
Where did they all go?
All he can do is wait for someone to come along
For how long he doesn't know

He'll wait
He'll wait

He knows the people 'round him are so very kind
But are they what he needs?
He wonders what these people hide in their minds
Does he want to see?

This is what he thinks
In his mind all the time
Life will keep on passing by so

He'll wait
He'll wait

This is what he thinks
In his mind all the time
Life will keep on passing by

There's all of the people in his head
But maybe there's someone out there just for him

So he'll wait
He'll wait
He'll wait
He'll wait

The Wait

An instrumental piece I wrote for my composition class, along with "Predecessor"!

As I'm sure will be apparent, I went for a sci-fi game music kinda thing.

Stand and Fight!

An instrumental piece I wrote for my composition class, along with "Stand and Fight!"!

I went for a sci-fi game music thing for both pieces. This one is a bit... older sounding.

Predecessor

A little composition I did for a friend!

Check out his streams, they're pretty cool.
https://www.twitch.tv/real_tiny/

Retrospect

A silly, short, and extremely cheesy little tune I made for a friend of mine! Entirely using the Super Mario World soundfont because it seemed appropriate.

His streams are still a thing, and they're still pretty cool.

Super Intermission World

A funky/jazzy thing I kinda made up as I went along. Cheers to some of my lovely friends who gave me some great suggestions here and there!

Grey

A rocky song that I've been working on for a little while now! It's been a while since I wrote a new song, hah.

I need to give a massive thanks to Stephen Sanders for his brilliant mixing advice on this one!

Lyrics:
In this deep and dark abyss
An evil horror coexists
It's an evil unlike this world has ever known
And I'm the only one

So I'll call out
Into the void of doubt
But with my altered mind I'll be fine

I know that by the light of the fire I'll find my way
Ain't no red sky gonna keep me down
I need you to hold back all the fears I hide
To keep my mind alive

I'll call out
Into the void of doubt
But with my altered mind I'll be fine
It's too much
The coldness of my blood
But with my altered mind I'll be fine

I'm evil, and your efforts are in vain
You're a worthless child who means nothing to me
I'm evil, and there is nothing you can do
You can try, but I'll destroy you again and again

Altered Minds

A kinda sad-sounding composition I made for a friend, entirely using the Zelda: A Link to the Past soundfont because it seemed appropriate!

A Light in the Dark

Cheers to some lovely friends who gave some lovely feedback and suggestions and whatnot!

Lyrics:
I still think so much of you
Even though I can't let go
I know it's not meant to be
Am I a fool
For holding on so long?
Maybe so, but it won't get to me

As long as we're not drifting away
Like another soul I knew
'Cause I don't think I can feel that pain again

It was not too cold
But even still I shivered
When I saw the message you left
You told me you didn't need me
But you still believed in me
Still I felt a tightness in my chest

Sometimes it feels like we're drifting away
Like another soul I knew
And I don't think I can feel that pain again

No I don't think I can feel that pain again

Drifting Away

As always, thanks a lot to some of my friends who gave some great feedback and advice!

Lyrics:
Out of the blue one day came a message I'd never seen
You'd heard there's some good folk, and out of everyone you'd heard of me
So we played and played together bringing smiles to all you'd tell
Up there on stage I knew all I had to be was myself

And then the headlines came
With a name that folks now knew
And as the high-ups changed their minds
So too did your tune

Did a bit of fame go to your head?
'Cause suddenly I'm not what you had said
I needed to be, despite everything
Everything that we'd been through
It's not like you, all you gotta do is think for yourself
Think for yourself

I guess the last eight months didn't mean a lot to you
If all it takes to push your friends away is for them to tell the truth
Apparently I'm not allowed to tell you what I think you could improve
I guess I was never supposed to be part of the group

Then the people came
They'd heard your name, they'd heard your songs
It seems they had to sound familiar
So I guess I'm in the wrong

Did a bit of fame go to your head?
'Cause suddenly I'm not what you had said
I needed to be, despite everything
Everything that we'd been through
It's not like you, all you gotta do is think for yourself
Think for yourself

It might not be your fault
You think you can't say no
To the people who are there to guide you
Well I wish you all the best
Just keep me in mind

Did a bit of fame go to your head?
'Cause suddenly I'm not what you had said
I needed to be, despite everything
Everything that we'd been through
It's not like you, all you gotta do is think for yourself
Think for yourself
