THE TATTOOED LADYS TEARS

Demo 5 of songs I wrote in my songwriting group sessions over the last year. The prompt for this one was to look at the last photo on your camera roll, and mine was a screenshot of the address for an upcoming artists/friends retreat. Enjoy! :)

Cabin 

There were six of us 
Just making art
A weekend away wasn’t quite the start 
But it was a beginning 

We drove on in
From Canada
New York and the capitol
And we met in the middle 

Falling leaves
Painted trees
Shinying (I know it’s not a real word but it’s what appeared and I like it) up a new 
Version of me 

Looking out
On the lake
If this all weren’t so real
You would think it was fake

The tarot cards         
Tell the truth 
They cracked us open in the new moon
We could sense we were winning 

The concerts and 
The solar eclipse 
The pictures snapping gave us a glimpse of 
The life we’d been wanting 

Falling leaves
Painted trees
Shinying up a new 
Version of me 

Looking out
On the lake
If this all weren’t so real
You would think it was fake

We stayed in a cabin
We knew what would happen
And it did 

Smoke in the air
Raspberries sweet
On my lips

LYRICS
It was dark at night
standing in the fog
I was scared damn right
Thinking I’d get lost

And I stepped back back back
Never looking back
And I stepped back back back
Back on my own track
And I stepped back back back
Never looking back
And I stepped back back back
Back on my own track
I stepped back

She was there for me
Pretty with a smile
She said “Child, come here
This is the door you need”
And than I felt that I
Was gonna be all right
But now I know that you
You’ve always been my guide
My light inside

And I stepped back back back
Never looking back
And I stepped back back back
Back on my own track
And I stepped back back back
Never looking back
And I stepped back back back
Back on my own track
I stepped back

Who will guide me
when you’re gone
will I hear your voice inside me
whispering which way to go

And I stepped back back back
Never looking back
And I stepped back back back
Back on my own track
And I stepped back back back
Never looking back
And I stepped back back back
Back on my own track
I stepped back 

STEPPED BACK

The Vanishing

Dear Mr Moon (Feat.Jenni)

When they made you there was nothing in your eyes,
You contain it, with tomorrow in your lies.
Smiles to fake it, but you tell me you’re alright,
Can’t mistake it, I can see you’re in disguise. 

You know what flowers taste like here because you put them in the ground,
The clouds slow down to show me now, you shot me full of holes, you shot me full of holes. 

Alone, I’m walking, just my legs here in the sand.
Silver medal, a frustrated yesterday’s man. 
A joke, a warning, like a statue, fallen down. 
I can’t contain it, but you tell me that’s alright

You know what flowers taste like here because you put them in the ground,
The clouds slow down to show me now, you shot me full of holes, you shot me full of holes. 
My feet can’t touch the ground right now, with all the words that spin around, 
The clouds slow down to show me now, you shot me full of holes, you shot me full of holes.

What is it, this thing, to me?

Dream it, build it, burn it, to the ground, 
Dream it, build it, burn it, to the ground, 
Dream it, build it, burn it, to the ground, 
regret repeat, recycle again. 
Dream it, build it, burn it, to the ground, 
Dream it, build it, burn it, to the ground, 
Dream it, build it, burn it, to the ground, 
regret repeat, recycle again.

[Spoken word part]
Paralysed by our own insignificance, unable to move
We let our mind wander freely between the stars
In this seemingly endless paradox, a void that is full
As are our hearts and minds
Why are we here?
Who created who?
Or what? Or why?
Is the nebula a physical manifestation of a thought?
Do we explore outside of ourselves, or inside?
Trapped in a prison of trying to understand that which is beyond our grasp
Yet we reach for it still, teetering on the edge of the precipice
Existence is futile yet we still crave immortality
Searching for the truth of an answer to an unasked question
Is this a dreamless sleep, or a sleepless dream?

Then we see it, like a jewel, like a dream
A place so perfect for us, it makes us weep
Is this what all the searching has been for?
Did we somehow know it was here or did we just believe?
In this untouched paradise, so fresh and green
A world wrapped in cellophane for us to reveal
Yet somewhere in the glorious forests that cover the land
There is a clearing in the trees
Fallen statues lay upon the ground
They hide their crumbling faces shamefully in the dirt
Or stare lifelessly at the vastness above
Their limbs entangled by snaking vines
The moss grows like a tumour on their exposed bodies
As nature reclaims the world of the arrogant
Is this our past, or our future?

The 27th Prime Number

Inspired by a line from the Sylvia Plath poem ‘Mad Girl’s Love Song’:
“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead”

Lyrics:

You say your prayers and bow your head
I shut my eyes and the world drops dead
Is this what you wanted from me?

Now in the night, the foxes scream
Because they fear a bitch like me
And that's how it's going to be.

Now you know just how messed up I can be
Can't believe you used to scare the shit out of me
And if you dare to come close, I'll hurt you bad
I'll hurt you bad (x3)

You twist your words, so I twist your neck
I shut my eyes and the world drops dead
Is this what you wanted to see?

You cry your tears, fall to your knees
I make you wish we didn't meet
And that's how it's going to be.

Now you know just how fucked up I can be
Can't believe you used to scare the living shit out of me
And if you dare to come close
I'll hurt you bad
I'll drive you mad
Break both your hands
I'll make you sad

Mad Girl's Love Song [Explicit]

This song is about solitude and reminiscing of good days gone by in a western/coutnry feeling - bringing bit of Mark Knopfler style into it.

Empty Roads

This is the first track Doug (aka Doru - https://soundcloud.com/doru_uk) and I ever fully co-wrote, with each other or anyone. Big credits and kudos to Doru-Doug for the story, most of the lyrics (I only threw in verse 3), the melody and his epic bass and electric guitar contributions.

This is part of my second "album", https://soundcloud.com/jenni-grossmann/sets/when-the-curtain-falls

Verse 1
She walks alone with her head held high
Clean clothes, and a smile that tells of home
She doesn’t look over her shoulder now
She’s learned that a victim looks like one

Verse 2
Each night she reads by the dim lamplight
Each word a comfort for her soul
She lays her head amongst the pages now
Sleeps tight and leaves upon the dawn

Chorus
In the daytime crowds always gather round
And their faces show her no harm
And they listen to every word that she says and she knows
It’s better this way

Verse 3
Another day melts through the cracks of my mind
Still warm outside but the cold creeps out from within
The stories call a name I’ve left behind
Their grasp is tight but I’ll never let them win

Chorus
In the daytime crowds always gather round
And their faces show me no harm
And they listen to every word that I say and I know
It’s better this way
Compared to yesterday

Verse 4
I wake and wash the dreams from my mind
Stand straight, prepare to face the day
This life of mine was not theirs to take
Someday I know I'll make them pay

Chorus
In the daytime crowds always gather round
And their faces show her no harm
And they listen to every word that she says and she knows
(Someday)
It’s better this way
(I'll make them pay)
Better this way

Better This Way (feat. Doru)
