laughing, i'm always laughing
never frowning, i'm always laughing
smiling, i'm always smiling
and never pouting
i'm always smiling

bad times, they go
good times, they flow

beaming, i'm always beaming
never hiding
always beaming
growing, i'm always growing
always knowing
always growing

good times, they flow
bad times they go
keeping my head above the water

Simon Cameron Fletcher - Laughing (demo)

My skin's sore, and so old
Polar bear ate my son
The garden that I grew has all burned
And I feel just at home in the ash, miserable

No more stars to fill my bedroom
I could curl up and try
Ribs feel cracked and spreading outward
Your spirits helped me to drown

Place your heel onto my sternum
I feel loved when I'm alone 
Send a postcard through the river
Watch the ink bleed away

Won't feel important tonight
But tomorrow I'll shine
All that dirt out  in the warm sun
I'm worn out being on my mind

I'm selling blood out in the city
everyone's buying too much
I don't wanna go home now
I just want to recharge

I just wanna go home
I'm not having much fun

Piano 1 - Demo

Under The Sea (Shoegaze)

Throwing my bit of copper into the heavily bronzed well of honey-inspired tunes. Been relatively busy with other's music, so it feels good to get *something* out, albeit the vocals being rushed, but that's just cuz I'm more of an instrumentalist. Whaddya gonna do, I've exercised my vocal writing muscle for this track and hopefully next track will be better, who knows, just glad to take sail ya know.

Written, performed, mixed, mastered by Empty Angels
Additional Keys (the fast ones especially) by Ian Clark

Lyrics:
I met her in my dreams, we'd been
Takin our time like it never ends
It kinda hurt to play my part
Knowin that I'll wake without her in my arms

My face melt like cake in a desert
I couldn't stand up
Took almost three days to recover
Is this love

She's so sweet
Honeycream

I met her in my dreams again
She had a cardinal primed at the hip
To set its perch upon my heart
You know that these branches aren't fallin apart

My face melt like cake in a desert
I couldn't stand up
Took almost three days to recover
Is this love

She's so sweet
Honeycream

Liquidated in a lake with you
Like an atom smasher we fuse

Honeycream
