Help Me Out!

Lyrics:

I watched you fall through fractured light
A whispered ghost in the endless night
Fragile wings that never knew
A touch that stayed, a hand that grew

Shadows shaped the way I learned to feel
Cold hands taught me love was steel
Every heartbeat echoed wrong
Every lullaby, a silent song

Crushed wings, I bleed in the dark
Searching for warmth in a hollow heart
Raised to think love was absence, not flame
Now I see my reflection bears your name

I stitched my sorrow into broken lines
Tracing the scars that time defines
A butterfly trapped beneath the glass
Moments of beauty fading fast

The sky I dreamt of was always grey
Tenderness taken, then thrown away
I kiss the void, I whisper your sin
Learning that love can’t live within

Crushed wings, I bleed in the dark
Searching for warmth in a hollow heart
Raised to think love was absence, not flame
Now I see my reflection bears your name

I chase the shadows where you once flew
A ghost of affection, a hue I never knew
And the mirrors lie, but I know the sting
I was made to bleed, yet still I sing

Crushed wings, I rise from the ache
Learning that sorrow is all I can take
But even in broken, I feel the spark
A flicker of love in a world so stark

Wings

Verso 1
One shot
Two shots
I thought you were mine
But you sending pictures to other dudes online
Those other fucking lames better step in line
You know i'm getting tired of you telling me lies

Pre
Never thought you knew me like that but you did
Wishing i could take back everything you said
Making other promises (…………..) when we were kids
And it's going to be (……….) Like this

Chorus
Is he tall with the hills all i do is for the thrill
But it's like one shot and she killed me like that
Two shots and i fired right back
Is she tall with the hills and I do it all for the thrill
But it's like one shot and she killed me like that
Two shots and I fired right back

Verso 2
I knew this was all just pretend
But I didn't think that she soft on one of my friends
Why it's always the pretty one to get you in the end
I don't trust you now I didn't trust you then

Chorus
She tall with the hills and I do it all for the thrill
But it's like one shot and she killed me like that
Two shots and I fired right back (4x)

Joseph Tilley is an artist/producer/songwriter originally from Central Arkansas, now in L.A. Growing up, he always loved making music on his Grandma's iPad in GarageBand. He taught himself how to record and produce music with tools and gear all handed down through friends. Playing drums in his High School Band, teaching himself guitar and piano, and playing music in the church as a teenager and young adult helped him get a good sense for playing live with others and growing his musical abilities. 



After Tilley's cover band parted ways, he realized he could start writing songs and releasing them himself. Joseph strives to invoke the same emotion in others that he feels when he hears the music he loves. 



Tilley's new music incorporates darker trap drums, dreamy synths, and strong melodies. He takes inspiration from RnB when writing melodies and chords. 



As a writer and producer, Joseph has amassed over 11 million streams for his work with indie-pop darling Emilee; he also landed his first #1 album in Asia for his writing and production on Will Pan's "Mr. R&Beats" album.
