I can be there if you want me
I can give you space if you need time
Floating away on the breeze
Replaying this old pantomime

What time did love arrive?
When did affection slip out of the room?
But we're just two people
And what the hell can we do?

The stars explode lifetimes away
Our lives played out like a shadow play
Where did it go time washed away
Our lives played out one more matinee

I can be strong if you'd let me
Not just taking up space and wasting time
Good intentions lost at sea
Two sinners chasing the sublime

What time did love arrive?
When did affection slip out of the room?
But we're just two people
And what the hell can we do?

The stars explode lifetimes away
Our lives played out like a shadow play
Where did it go time washed away
Our lives played out one more matinee

The stars explode lifetimes away
Our lives played out like a shadow play
Where did it go time washed away
Our lives played out one more matinee

Lyrics:

When I step out the door
Keep it simple but you want more
Like a fire I'll be burning 
Keep the cold out yet you're yearning 
You want to see a look underneath 
But I stay true to my teeth 

When he leaves the house 
His eyes will follow
All he wants is to bite and swallow
May be dumb but I wish he knew 
How I'm the only one keeping him in tune
Lets keep it known, how I'm all fine being alone
He's no cupid, he's so stupid
But I got an eye for shining diamonds

This time I need a real knight
Not a  casanova, that knows how to do the job
The job right over
This time I need one with spite
Not a casanova, that knows how to finish me off
Make me go for takeoff

I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova
I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova

When I walk on the scene
All I want is to be seen
Like a diamond I'll be shining
You know you're only buying
Everyone wants a piece
But only if you have a leese
Grand carpet red carpet
Any show I'm only yours

When he leaves the house 
His eyes will follow
All he wants is to bite and swallow
May be dumb but I wish he knew 
How I'm the only one keeping him in tune
Lets keep it known, how I'm all fine being alone
He's no cupid, he's so stupid
But I got an eye for shining diamonds

This time I need a real knight
Not a  casanova, that knows how to do the job
The job right over
This time I need one with spite
Not a casanova, that knows how to finish me off
Make me go for takeoff

I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova
I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova

Look and see he's all around the block
Do you see he's around every corner
Have you seen he's in every shady alley
Have you seen 
Look and see
Look and see

This time I need a real knight
Not a  casanova, that knows how to do the job
The job right over
This time I need one with spite
Not a casanova, that knows how to finish me off
Make me go for takeoff

I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova
I don't want no, casanova
I'm wasted from this, casanova

Track six on Ben Mercedez' debut album Confessions, 3 AM

"Confessions" the album, out NOW

Produced by: Ben Mercedez
Written by: Ben Mercedez
Performed by: Ben Mercedez

Lyrics:

Do you see me 
Do you know where I come from
Somewhere far away a land where there is no sun
Darkness in all tones 
Feel the beat deep in my bones
Can't be satisfied in the light 
I need to know if you bite

Now I'm feeling so hypnotized
Ah ah ah
Got this feeling deep inside
Ah ah ah
My fangs are sharp when they bite
Ah ah ah
I let my monsters come out and play

3 A M 
Find me in the darkest corners
3 A M
Lurking where the sun doesn't shine
3 A M
Like a cobra in the jungle
3 A M
Only when the moon rises

Do you know the effect you have on me 
Like a python with a venomous touch 
I can sip the truth in the tea 
Lies and hoax can be all too much
Find me in the dark 
In the hours past midnight

Now I'm feeling so hypnotized
Ah ah ah
Got this feeling deep inside
Ah ah ah
My fangs are sharp when they bite
Ah ah ah
I let my monsters come out and play

3 A M 
Find me in the darkest corners
3 A M
Lurking where the sun doesn't shine
3 A M
Like a cobra in the jungle
3 A M
Only when the moon rises

Living in the dark, In my prehistoric arc
My fangs can make their mark, I take over in the hours past
Don't need to run fast, Let it all come for a blast
Vampire at night, And angel by the light

Life and death, the cycle goes on
Pure and sin, all inside of me
But do you know the world you unlock
When you come see me past 3 o' clock

3 A M 
Find me in the darkest corners
3 A M
Lurking where the sun doesn't shine
3 A M
Like a cobra in the jungle
3 A M
Only when the moon rises

Track twelve on Ben Mercedez' debut album Confessions, WITHIN YOU

"Confessions" the album, out NOW

Produced by: Ben Mercedez
Written by: Ben Mercedez
Performed by: Ben Mercedez

Lyrics:

I've been high, I fell low
I've seen things, You can't know
I feel like there's nowhere to go
All alone in the shadow
I can't see straight, They say I'm blind
I can't feel you, I know it's true
At the end of the road
There is no other side

Needed a reason to live
One life with commitment
One spark to fill this hole
Filled it with your whole soul
Needed a friend in the night
One still in the dark
One to send this love
But I couldn't resist, I had to keep searching

Within you 
All I could see is you
At the end of the tunnel was you
In perfect harmony
Within you
All I could hear was you
End of the finish line was you
With perfect sympathy

I've been too lonely, I've Been too empty
To know what song to sing
As the monsters cut my wings
I've been hurt by my past 
As the consequences last
Vision becomes deluded
As I see our future

Lusted a meaning to this
One wish without magic
One dream to keep me blind
Occupies my whole mind
Lusted more in the dark
One thought drives by
One heart occupied
But I couldn't resist, I had to keep searching

Within you 
All I could see is you
At the end of the tunnel was you
In perfect harmony
Within you
All I could hear was you
End of the finish line was you
With perfect sympathy

I've seen mountains, I've seen valleys
No hand for me
But my heart aches at any sight
Let me see your starlight
I've felt hurt, I've been mean
But these things I can't see
My heart is diamond
Let me be your savior

Within you 
All I could see is you
At the end of the tunnel was you
In perfect harmony
Within you
All I could hear was you
End of the finish line was you
With perfect sympathy

Within you 
All I could see is you
At the end of the tunnel was you
In perfect harmony
Within you
All I could hear was you
End of the finish line was you
With perfect sympathy

Natural High

here you will find music composed and played exclusively for myself, for my soul. No compromise with fashions and trends, no pre-established adherence to a musical style.
I grew up with 80's music and then deviated towards metal....so...what we are today reflects our thoughts of yesterday
