it's late but she'll sleep through the day
so it's ok
it's ok to forget your name

she taps her finger on the glass
to the beat of the rain
she feels low
for feeling so low, low, low 

oh, oh, oh
don't i know
oh, oh, oh
how it goes
with everything that's going on
you'd think she'd at least get to be here

this isn't her room
but she's slept here for days
the 40ozs she held 
are modern art 
on the floor

Fritz the cat: 
"I've been up and down the four corners of this big old world. 
I've seen it all and I've done it all."

oh, oh, oh
don't i know
oh, oh, oh
how it goes
with everything that's going on
you'd think she'd at least get to be here

She Wears Headphones

My half of a mixtape released with Arbor Daze:

i got lost on the stairs again
turning around with one last word
i thought i'd get in
but these doors, they disappear so fast
around here, since we moved in

this place seemed so small when we moved in
but your door just opened up to thin air
so where are you?
so where are you?

coming to in a different room 
than i'm used to sleeping in
and it's not really far enough away
to make room, for me and you
and all the people we've become
the drapes that don't work
keep me awake, 'cause every passing car
sounds like it's pulling into our yard
and i'll follow your empty cigarette packs
hoping they'll lead me home to you 
like breadcrumbs through the woods of this house

this place seemed so small when we moved in
but your door just opened up to thin air
so where are you?
so where are you?

there's not even ghosts in this house anymore
just turn off the lights it looks just like before
an empty house that no one's ever lived in
dark blue, dining room
lost woods, living room
lost in, this bedroom
big fights, in bloom
i want one night without incident
without these cracks in this cavernous basement
with roots dug like arteries in here 
filling in
branching out
growing thin 
but they never end
and they never end
they never end
and they never end
they never end so
i'll never stop looking for you
i'll never stop looking for you
i'll never stop looking for you
i'll never stop looking for you

The Woods Of This House (early demo)

My half of a mixtape released with Arbor Daze:

https://soundcloud.com/failingst

i watch the cars in front of us
just dying for something to do
but i wait our turn to move
while the trees explode in bloom
the fireworks fade soon
and the tv snow comes down

i fall fast asleep to last year's shows
written beneath my eyes
i'll stay up all week watch the screen glow 
and never leave my room
someone shake me please just tell me to breathe
then leave me the hell alone
and lately i wonder why 
the sound of the phone
makes me want to die

and anyways it's not like you care anymore
so i've got what i had before
you're just another
you're just another face in this crowd
and anyways it's not like you care anymore
so i've got what i had before
you're just another
you're just another
you're just another nerve

knives drill through my teeth
and in my gums, bleeding and numb and dying
the color drains my cheeks 
and makes the whole world look a little redder
and underneath the sun my limbs grow weak
my eyelids fly and shudder
it's the breath i feel in me 
down in my lungs, but no words come


and anyways it's not like you care anymore
so i've got what i had before
you're just another
you're just another face in this crowd
and anyways it's not like you care anymore
so i've got what i had before
you're just another
you're just another
you're just another nerve

'cause i'm scared of
hearing your voice now
and i see your face in every nameless crowd
and i don't know how to defend 
myself when it's do or die 
and i haven't felt alive till now
if you're afraid of me then you should know
that i'm just another 
coward, too afraid to throw your things away
these taped up boxes count the days 
that we won't wake up face to face
and everything is wonderful
until it's not but who thinks about that?

we grow up too fast
we grow up too fast
we grow up too fast

Nerves (early demo)

i've got nothing in common with your friends
but i can see why you hang out with them
maybe they're ok admitting they've had enough
but maybe they don't have problems with freezing up
spinning and waltzing around the room
trying to look like i know where i'm going
the heys, what's ups, the how are yous 
just running my mouth

i don't even remember how bad i was
i just looked up and saw you staring into your cup
and i feel pretty dumb as of now
'cause i'll have to talk to everyone again somehow

hey, everyone
look at me the way you look at the sun
yeah, just go back to your conversations
beer bottles and clouds of smoke
everyone laughs at all my jokes
but the way you turn away
reminds me of my spine

i don't even remember how bad i was
i just looked up and saw you staring into your cup
and i feel pretty dumb as of now
'cause i'll have to talk to everyone again somehow

why can't you see me?
why can't you see me?
i just looked up and saw you staring into your cup
why aren't i good enough?
why aren't i good enough?
and what's with that look of disgust?

The Heys

I'm trying to write and record a song a day for the month of July, posting the results no matter how they turnout. 

the past few days had a lot more time spent playing with synths, finding the right sounds. Today I just went with a piano, endedup with a longer, more fleshed out (lyrically) song. Might be fun to come back to. 

"I turned on the water and I filled up the bath 
You came over at 7 and asked if you could crash 

but what are you doing here? 

'I'm gonna make us some money' 
you said then tapped the ash
from your cigarette but
you never asked, 

'What are you doing here? 
What are you doing here?' 

I've still got your name 
tattooed on my brain
like i'm insane 
but i can't say i blame you 
if you don't feel the same 

But what are you going to do? 

I'm waiting for the night I can walk home from the bar 
finally remember how it was we got our start 

'cause how did we get this far? spending so much time apart? 

I've still got your name 
tattooed on my brain
like i'm insane 
but i can't say i blame you 
if you don't feel the same "
