Fickle (Demo 2015)

Original Beat Production: Kocosaur

Lyrics & Vocal Editing: JustShabs

Don’t waste your voice
'Cause I don’t get a choice
You don’t see me 
You don’t need me anymore

There was a time when I
I’d die for you, lie for you, I even fell and I cried for you, oh
(Turns out, you didn't know me)

Hide for you, tried for you, oh
(The way I thought you did, the way you said you did)

I would die for you, lie for you, I even fell from the sky for you, why
(You won't leave me, you won't grieve me)

Why did you leave me so cold? (Ooh)
(Now I'm floating in the wreck we made)

What would I do if I did get a chance to talk to you again?
What would I say?
I'd

(Die for you, lie for you)
I'd do it all again
(I even fell and I cried for you, I)
I loved you more than anything in this world
(Hide for you, Tried for you, I)
I wish I could press rewind and relive all our special moments
(Know I would have died for you, lied for you)
I'd be there for you this time
(I even fell from the sky for you, why)
I wish I was there for you, you used to be there for me
(Why did you leave me so cold? Why did you leave me so cold?)
But you're gone now (Ooh)

I have so much I want to tell you
I can still hear your voice
It echoes in my mind
(I even fell and I cried for you, I)
I'll never stop hearing it
(Hide for you, tried for you)
You were the one for me
(Know I would even die for you, I)
I'll always love you, till the end of time
(Lied for you, cried for you)
I wish I could let you go
(I even fell from the sky for you, why)
I wish I could unlove you
(Why did you leave me so cold?)

Cold - Demo

Faced with a new direction
Lights pass my blurred reflection
Familiar tears escape my eyes

Feeling calm inside the pain
The place I feel alive again
Oh what a sweet surprise 

Despite the love we feel
I don’t know what is real and I  can’t go back
At least not like that, no

Despite the love we shared
I know deep down you cared and you had my back
But just not like that 

We could try to put it back together
But we know the cracks with show forever
Our scars will heal over time

Feeling whole inside our  pain
Does this mean that we’re alive again?
Oh why do we need to fight?

Despite the love we feel
I don’t know what is real and I  can’t go back
At least not like that, no

Despite the love we shared
I know that deep down you cared and you had my back
But just not like that, no

Time for a redirection
To work on my imperfections
It’s only a matter of time.

Not Like That - Demo

My new song: Ghost
Enjoy and please share!

Ghost (Demo 2015)

Stay The Same (Original Demo 2015)

Publish and be damned

You’ll soon be sinking in the sand 
You used to think that you were frightening 
Your web of lies you wove is tightening

No longer care what you have planned
Don’t you fucking understand? 
Not gonna sit here and keep biting 
Regret will haunt you in good timing 

You wanted a war
I’ll bring the apocalypse 
You really don’t know who this is that you have been fuckin’ with
Thought you had yourself an angel, you could willingly torture
But you’ve summoned the devil, unheavenly creature 

There’s a seat warmed up for you, in my hell
I’m getting high from the pain I gain, can’t you tell? 
You gave me all that you got?
You think I’m stupid, 
Yeah for ever loving you, okay, it’s undisputed 

You see?
I have all the keys
That open your locks 
I know all your secrets 
I know where your house is

You’re not the only one who has a set of cards and
How you feeling now without your queen of hearts, man?

Publish it and be damned

You’ll soon be sinking in the sand 
You used to think that you were frightening 
Your web of lies you wove is tightening

No longer care what you have planned
Don’t you fucking understand? 
Not gonna sit here and keep biting 
Regret will haunt you in good timing 


Enough is enough
I’m tired of excuses
You really should revisit what you think abuse is
Think you have yourself protected, sat behind your keyboard
Just wait until the day you face a judge and appeal board

Yeah, I may have fell for it, in your head
You even found a way to pretend that you were dead
You must - have forgotten
that I can see through you
I was prepared to love the fucking real you

You see?
I have all the keys
That open your locks 
I know all your secrets 
I know where your house is

I don’t know what more, I could’ve done to show you
Or why I would try after what you’ve put me through

Publish it and be damned

You’ll soon be sinking in the sand 
You used to think that you were frightening 
Your web of lies you wove is tightening

No longer care what you have planned
Don’t you fucking understand? 
Not gonna sit here and keep biting 
Regret will haunt you in good timing 
 
Publish it and be damned

Da-da-da damn damned
Daaa da-da-da damn damned
Daa-da-da-da damn da-damned
Oooh Ooooh

Publish it and be damned

You’ll soon be sinking in the sand 
You used to think that you were frightening 
Your web of lies you wove is tightening

No longer care what you have planned
Don’t you fucking understand? 
Not gonna sit here and keep biting 
Regret will haunt you in good timing 

Publish it and be damned.

Damned

Written, Performed and Produced by JustShabs.

Guess you’ve shown your colours now
Thought you’d find me in my house
Broken-hearted from the lies
That you spewed a thousand times

But you see,
That’s not me
You can never break my
Inner peace

So go crawl back
To your cave
Pray to God that he’ll keep you safe 

It’s true
I wanted you 
But fuck you

All the times that you let me down
Earned your stripes as the evil clown
And those laughing with you now
You’ll all pay someday, somehow

Cause you see,
You’re not me
You will never have my
Inner peace

So go crawl back
To your cave
You’ll never know what it means to be brave 

It’s true
I loved you 
But fuck you

Fuck the times that you claimed to love me
Fuck the times that you said that you needed me
Fuck the past now, it’s all beneath me
Fuck the fact you said that you’d never leave me

It’s true
I needed you 
But fuck you
Fuck you
Fuck you
Fuck you

Fuck You - Demo

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Cover

Written, performed and produced by JustShabs.

You sold me a lie
And left me waiting for you in the dark
You made me cry
When you said that was something you wouldn’t do

Now how can I pick up the pieces and move on with my life?
We said goodbye
That’s the only thing that we did right
(Only thing that we did right)

You made me smile
But then you flipped my world upside down
You underlie
All the conflict encased inside my heart

Now how can I pick up the pieces and move on with my life?
We’ve said goodbye
That’s the only thing that we did right
(Only thing that we did right)

Oooh oooh oooh 

Outro:
Why did I hold you in such hopeful eyes?
Time to say goodbye to you
I thought that I could be there for you
Be your wife
But you sold a lie
You sold a lie
You told a lie
You are a lie
You can’t deny
Can’t deny… you are the lie.

My Everything

Written, performed and produced by JustShabs.

Yours
Let me in

Walls 
Caving in

I knew that we would finally work things out
I’m yours and you are mine, there’s no more doubt

Living rent free, inside my mind
It’s you that my heart could never find 

Mine
Stay with me

Because I hate
When you leave

Now we know that we were both at fault
That don’t matter, now we’re out the cold

I don’t know when, I don’t know where but we’ll get there

I don’t know how but I know now… you’re still mine

You’re still mine 
You’re still mine 
You’re still mine 
You’re still mine

Still Mine - Rough Demo

Written, performed and produced by JustShabs.

He took a piece of the moon and he handed it to me 
Like a smile for my face that he crafted just for me
Thought I was lost, but now I am found
Together our feet won't touch the ground 

He took a slice of the sun and he shone it down on me
Dried the sorrow in my eyes, when the rain would follow me
Don’t be afraid, tied in a knot
Time to be brave, ready or not

2, 3, forevers gonna be for you and me
Don’t try to tell us that we’re never meant to be
In love, oh
5, 6, 7, ate the words up that you fed me from your hand
While we begged the world around us cause they couldn’t understand
Our love
Our love
Ooooh

I took a chance on our love and I opened up to you
Though I thought that the dark from my past would threaten you
Lo and behold, we both have our scars
Together we’ll heal and dance in the stars

I took a vow for you now and I’m never leaving you
Hits me hard when I live in a world that’s missing you
Look to the sky, you’re never alone
I’m here in the moon, the place we call…  home

*whistling bridge*

10, 9, 8, 7 sins are never getting in the way 
Now all the hope we thought was lost is here to stay 
Our love, oh
5, 4, 3, 2 souls are finally intertwined
We let the universe decide, and now I’m yours and you are mine
It’s love
Our love
Our love
Our love.
