Stay - Rhythmic Motive

MISTAKEN DEMO 4 - 12

Here’s a song I wrote in 2015, and only just recently cut the vocals to. 

It’s about feeling like you’re at odds with the world, wondering why people don’t see things the same way you do. Maybe they’re the problem. Maybe it’s you.

Here's To Hoping

(Verse 1)
There I was, on the verge of losing my marbles
Thought, might as well start letting going of them…
But when I saw what I’d been holding onto
Drift down the current I’d been swimming against...

Suffice to say- I couldn’t help but marvel
At my whole world reevaluated...
I terminated my old ways like Arnold
Without a moment's hesitation

(Pre Chorus 1)
‘Cause I still mourn certain memories
And sure, I still get a little bit lost

(Chorus 1)
But I’m less lost than I was
I still get a little bit lost, but…
I’m less lost than I was

(Verse 2)
Like back when I picked and chose all the wrong battles
Before I put my faith in honesty
Back then loving myself was such a hassle
Man, I owe that dude an apology

(Pre Chorus 2)
‘Cause I still have moments at a depth
And yeah, I still get a little bit lost

(Chorus 2)
But I’m less lost than I was

Less Lost

“Hidden”

If I'm being honest
I've been feeling neglected
And I'm wondering if
When you said it you meant it
Cause I hold onto everything
Like its been keeping me breathing
Between days that you reach for me
And the times that you…

Hide me away under the staircase
Wearing a mask obscuring my face
Holding me close, yet at a distance
Manipulating my existence

It’s starting to slip
My grip on the future
And wondering if
I'm the drug or the user
In this twisted ritual
It's become so habitual
Somehow I see a glass half full
Each time that you

Hide me away under the staircase
Wearing a mask obscuring my face
Holding me close, yet at a distance
Manipulating my existence

I will go where you want me to
Even if I don’t want to be there
I will do what you need me to
Even if it’s not what I need

Yeah, it’s the influence you have
Over my heart and my wellbeing, so
Be careful, for what you ask
Is what you will get from me 

I will go where you want me to
Even if I don’t want you to

Hide me away under the staircase
Wearing a mask obscuring my face
Holding me close, yet at a distance
Manipulating my existence

Hidden

“Sunny Side”

(Part 1 - Intro)
I saw you in a dream
You said the sun was coming
Could you not see the storm
We were caught in?
The ground beneath us crumbling
No- I wasn’t so sure
But- on you sang
The opposite of warning
My eyes started to well
Then you held me
Tears just started pouring
I’d been under a spell

(Bridge)
You must have had better things to do
My burden must seem so trivial
I didn’t know that I needed to hear from you

(Part 2 - Verse 1)
It gets a little harder every day
Through each and every hour my optimism strains
God knows that I was not prepared the day
That the eggs in my basket would begin to break

(Chorus 1)
Expecting a return on my ventures
Kept me from reaching out to others
How could anyone know I wasn’t okay?

(Verse 2)
Do things get harder, or do they just change?
Perhaps our willingness to adapt can deteriorate.

(Chorus 2)
Well, I’ve wasted enough time being stubborn
It doesn’t pay the bills being a martyr
Sometimes you need a friend to show you the way

(Verse 3 - Outro)
The eggs from my basket, cooked on the sidewalk
Some of them scrambled, some sunny side up
