*LYRICS*

[Alex Bong]
The world beat us down
and then they called us nothing,
We hid in shadows
but there was no use running,
I told you one day
I’d get you out of this place baby,
They found us, we fought them,
and now there blood is what we’re tasting,

This is the grave you put us in,
And we dug ourselves right out,
And the top’s where we’ll begin,
And you can’t stop us now,
We stand on the shoulders
Of the giants who came before,
We fight not for ourselves,
But so much more,
Our message is spreading 
Thought the battle’s just begun,
There’s no use fighting,
Cuz you can’t stop us now.

This is the grave you put us in,
And we dug ourselves right out,
And the top’s where we’ll begin,
And you can’t stop us now,
We stand on the shoulders
Of the giants who came before,
We fight not for ourselves,
But so much more,
Our message is spreading 
Thought the battle’s just begun,
There’s no use fighting,
Cuz you can’t stop us now. 

Cuz you can’t stop us now, (x3)

[L8YE]
Uh, I remember them days was a faze,
Kinda craze how things had changed,
No love god lord we gotta make it thru these times,
But I'm fine as long euphoria in your eyes never apart like tides,
Living life crazy we got no guide but to this love no limitation,
As long as we use imagination exist another spacin,
But its amazing the dreams we chasin,
Never ever get stopped on this road at all,
In the games they passed the ball,
We hit the winner and you fell,
So alone yeah we fell so alone,
No place to call our home,
Looking straight out the window,
Straight out the window,
In the future that we roam,
Can't help but think we was down,
People would laugh and say were clowns,
When we were buried underground,
But dug our self from under now,
We were lost but now we found,
The champs profound,
Can't help but think about you now,
You never lightly with smile,
But look at us now can't stop now,
Coming from the negative but im never,
Under like a battleship gradually naturally,
Grinding never fall down like a kickstand,
Under i'm the thing 1 looking  for thing 2,
Screaming chocolate thunder stay over ground,
So I never be lundon versatile,
Got choices like a freakin percussion,
Can’t stop now keep it coming reproduction,
All this here is really nothing thinkin of the future,
Far goin out on a prowl with a quick fix smile yeah,
A big smile click pow oh wow can we go now,
You should know that i'm never leavin,
Whoa wow living life never restless,
But look at us now can't stop us now, yeah,

You can’t stop us now, (x3)

I told you one day I’d get you out of this place.

Lyrics by John Leja

I long to see your face
In the mirror, with me
In this frame we could,
Be together for, eternity
We knew this love was not to last
But time moved too fast
We're slow dancing, take my hand
Forever shall be
Our destiny, Whoa oh

The shadows close my eyes
But I see
The secrets that they hide
They keep it away from me
The beauty of this life
Is deep
Buried by their lies
But we're all lost at sea

Do do do do (A whole bunch of them)

See your heart is locked
And I got the key, oh baby baby
I went down and got it
Just for you, don't you see
There lots of chocolates in this box of love
And you don't know which one you're gonna get
But I'm just glad that I got you
And you got me
Forever shall be
Our destiny, whoa oh

The shadows close my eyes
But I see
The secrets that they hide
They keep it away from me
The beauty of this life
Is deep
Buried by their lies
But we're all lost at sea

Do do do do (A literal ton of them)


Allegory (Lost At Sea)

Living In Shame ft. Alex Bong

Wanted to try out a one take recording using guitar, cajon, hi hat, and vocals. There are mistakes in it, but oh well, my fingers and voice were starting to get tired.

The cat has nothing to do with the song, but I thought it would get me more listens.

It's Just Words

I've been wanting to write some more upbeat stuff lately, so here is my go at that. Special thanks to Austin Bolden for laying down that bass track and doing a way better job than I ever will!

Lyrics:

Singing for the night
Not an empty chair in sight
All eyes on you, bleeding out to sea
Can’t wait to see the night
Sights never been seen before
Only to be seen by everyone
The glass is broken shattered
Steppin on pieces that look just like you

You do what you always want to
You do what you always wanted me to do
I do what you always told me
I do what you’ve always wanted me to do

The clouds are beckoning now
With their raindrops crashing so loud
Can’t you see that I don’t want your answers
I want you to help me out now
This can’t be unseen, This can’t be unheard
This can’t be untouched but easily forgotten
The thoughts, our mind, the absence of our time
This is what you wanted, I swear it’s what you wanted

This Can't Be It

Wrote this song for a girl, and about a girl. Finally finished it after it was over :/

Goodbye

I am a young musician making new songs all of the time. I would like to think that I am fairly talented with percussion, piano, and most other instruments. I know I lack "Singing Talent" but I am working on it everyday. I hope you enjoy some of the music I make!
