Steer Clear - Demo

---------------------------------------------------------------

LYRICS

How many times have we wondered in awe
At what little we have done?
And how much longer will we lay on the floor
Trying to piece it all together?
We don't know
Anymore...

The Sleep Song (Demo)

VERSE
i've lost my sense of fear.
it's been replaced
with a touch of terror.
if they're one-&-the-same, 
then why does it feel so different
to hang another skeleton above my bed?


CHORUS
why don't you pinch me?
i don't think i'm feeling anymore
morbid, morbid, morbid, yeah.
why don't you pinch me?
i don't think i can feel it anymore
so morbid, morbid, morbid, hell.

VERSE
and i've gained consciousness  
on a different plane, 
a whole new level to familiarize with.
just to get comfortable,
i cut my bed into tiny pieces
to please the skeletons above my head. 

BRIDGE
all i hear is the chattering teeth,
i've gone insane. 
a portal to hell staring me in the face,
that i created.
i must be dead, i don't feel.
blood sacrifice to close these doors. 

Morbid (Acoustic Demo)

LYRICS: 

Oh all the little pains...
They keep me sane...
When I can see them, 
When I can feel them.

Oh all the little veins...
They keep me tamed...
When they're opened, 
When they're over-flowing.

Oh how hard could it be to just pretend it wasn't me?
Just pretend it wasn't me that self-destructed.
Oh how come I can fake it with a smile that's so tainted, 
If it was never meant to be? Then I should be the shrapnel in your heart... 

In your bod...
Oh...
Grace me, gracing. 
In your heart... 
In all your blood... 
Face it, face me.
Crazy!

I should be the shrapnel...
That kills you.

Shrapnel (Acoustic Demo)

LYRICS:

It's almost like I can hear the silence shatter,
with a screeching in my ears. 
It's like my heart skipped with a beat, 
of your tears.

And the sun comes up, and the sun goes down.
I'm laying in this bed.
The sun comes up, and the sun goes down.
I'm still laying in this bed.

And no matter how I toss and turn, from left to right.
I'm never going to leave...

It's almost like I can hear the silence shatter,
with the screeching in my ears.
It's like my heart skipped with the beat,
of your tears.

And the sun comes up, and the sun goes down.
I'm laying in this bed.
The sun comes up, and the sun goes down.
I'm still laying in this bed.

And no matter how I toss and turn, from left to right. 
I'm never going to leave. 


In This Bed - Original/Demo

Just thought this song up a couple hours ago. It's a work in progress, but I thought you would all love to hear it. I do apologize, I know it sounds horrible. But please look past that & try to enjoy, & if you don't, THAT'S FINE. Leave me some comments, constructive criticism, anything helpful & enjoyable. I have a headache at the moment, & so I'm gonna stop blabbing now. BYE.   

Lyrics:
I came home real late just to make sure
that I wouldn't come home to any locked doors
I know I should trust you but I don't and I never will
That look in your eyes is set to kill 

Maybe someday I can trust you in some kind of way
Maybe someday I can trust you in some kind of way, yay

(Instrumental) 

Hey! 
Maybe someday I can trust you in some kind of way
Maybe someday I can trust you in some kind of way...

Some kind of way
Some kind of way
Some kind of way

New Song Demo

Hey everyone! Oh my Lord, here's another demo, but personally, I think this one has to have some of the best vocals I've ever recorded. It's also, might I add, one of my more grim songs. I might get around to recording the full version, but until then enjoy this!

(The meaning of this song can be interpreted in many ways, it's meaning should be found in the mind of the listener, as it could mean something different to every soul.)

LYRICS:
Rest my eyes on a wary soul, that's what I do when it comes to you
Rest my eyes on a wary soul, that's what I do when it comes to you
You make me feel less small, you make me feel less vulnerable
 Seeing you cry explodes a bright light in front of my eyes

Something about your pain takes mine away & I don't feel guilty at all
Something about your pain takes mine away & I don't feel guilty at all...

In between the lines, that's how I read you every time you cross the line
Focus on the outside, never on the inside, the center of your soul is a dead zone
You make tears swell up in my eyes as you radiate a light so magnificent
You're a beautiful creation that's why I want to see you bleed

Something about your pain takes mine away & I don't feel guilty at all
Something about your pain takes mine away & I don't feel guilty at all...



I Don't Feel Guilty At All - Demo

Sorry for the distortion, I had my mic gain on High & my keyboard was a little too loud. 

My meaning behind the song: It's about a dangerous love, a painful one. One that's very dependent & almost afraid to brake free because of debts unpaid. Trapped. Racing each other. You want to love this person even more, but that's like lighting yourself on fire. It's not sensible. And in the end you just give up the fighting. You eventually just die. (Not physically) but you just let go. And it engulfs you. 

This is my first demo that's a full song! Yay! I hope you enjoy. :)

LYRICS:
In a way you're my only muse
But with these chains around my neck, 
what am I to think of you?
And I'm afraid to look up to you
You're all I have left, & all I have to loose

But this love is a bitter sweet melody
Wrapped up in anarchy 
Lit up by the fires of hell

But that's okay I can sing to that pain...
I can sing to that... 
Pain...
I will learn to cope

In a way you're the sun, the moon, the stars
And you give balance to the universe 
You found me when I had been looking for redemption
You promised freedom but you gave me life

But this love is a party on death row
Two blue corpses in the snow
And oh, it's a fight to the death

But that's okay I can sing to you our love...
I can sing to you... 
Our love
Dangerous game to play, hearts are meant to brake

(Instrumental) 

And if you change your mind
You'll just light me on fire
Set fire...
To my eyes

But that's okay I can sing to you our love...
I can sing to you...
Our love
Dangerous game to play, hearts are meant brake

God is David, and I am his lyre. 

JESUS FREAK. 

At least that's what you see me as.
