Song With Mturner - The Free Masons (Fri, Jun 12, 2015)

It was the morning after you died
The sun did rise and I wasn’t scared
I heard you speaking to Nan
And I felt silence take over my fears

And Marshall’s voice woke me up
Like it did every morning

Oh you struggled for so long
Trying to stay the hell out of Dodge
But the doctors did what they could
You’ve been gone since you first left

the neighborhood
the neighborhood
the neighborhood

Swallow Falls (idea)

Dear Pablo
Can you remember?
When we were kids
Playing in a shed

Making all the ends meet
Smile for smile, cheek to cheek
Sleeping in on Saturdays
Until that fire took you away

Dear, Dear Pablo
Any minute now
The Lord will come
And cleanse your Holy face

Jerusalem’s grip
Free from Zion’s gaze
Angels softly weep
Never too lost to be saved

Rivers Filled With Blood

Julia, I love you. Happy Birthday <3

lyrics:
When I wake up in the morning
You are my sun
And I will think of you all day
Until that day is done

When I close my eyes at night
I feel your body against mine
It warms my mortal soul
And I know I will be fine

Oh, Julia
I can’t believe you’re mine
Oh, Julia
You’ll always be mine

I swear I’ve wandered all the earth
Searching for someone like you
Spent hours sorting bolts and screws
Looking for a heart that’s true

Til I found you 

And I hope that’s all right
That we spend our lives
Wrapped around one another
Tangled up with each other
Hiding under blankets and covers
From Peach and her brother

Lyrics:
some friendships don't last for eternity
some fade and blacken into obscurity
some stray away from purity
some stay in decency
some last for a lifetime
but not in our life

some of the innocent and the ignorant
They die with the saint-less
you both take different paths
in the wrong directions
you smooched my lips in the name of vulgarity
i had another woman on my wrist
fingers intertwined
you distracted me from my vessel
with your beautiful mind


The Eye of Heaven shines
and lightens your hair
bringing out your real colors
i see fear in your eye
i am stunned and petrified

What are we becoming?
Just the remnants of a past love catastrophe

I do not like
what we are becoming.

Battle Hymn of the Republic

This took three days to make. There's not enough vinyl hiss to call it "lofi hip hop." Therefore, its a variant or something, idk.

Our Place

Jacob Ritmiller: Guitar, Keys, Voices

about a girl, a place, a situation, etc.

lyrics:
I went to a musical
The lead girl reminded me of you
The way she talked, the tip of her nose
Made me remember the last time
I thought about you

We were shaving off ice
Off of 95
Cracking jokes to
Make the time past by

Was this a friendship?
Or was this a joke?
Mixed emotions
No powerful devotions

It wouldn’t have been healthy
To hold you accountable for your deeds
Who knew love
Would make a man so mean?

I thought we had 
the whole summer
To fall in love
I Guess I was wrong

(written between summer and fall of 2016)

I Went To A Musical (Remix)

Age of Anxiety (Assignment6Rework)

lyrics:
O, let me forever weep:
My eyes no more shall welcome sleep
I'll hide me from the sight of day
And sigh my soul away
He's gone, his loss deplore
And I shall never see him more
