All I Needed (Cover)- Mackensie Grace x Jonathan Meyer

Your wife is home alone
With a baby and a bottle
You turned off your location on your phone, and said
“Babe I’m working late, I’m sorry”
You stand up from your empty desk
You know you’re gonna make a mess, tonight
But it’s nothing you can’t handle
What’s yet another scandal to hide

If she had told you her name
Would you remember her face
Or long for her embrace
Cause mystery lives
Where romance goes to die
If she’d spent a whole life
Stood by your side
You’d run and you would hide
Cause misery lived
When a grown man chose to lie
She gave you a choice and you made the wrong kind

I was out drinking alone with a broken heart
Just about to order a ride home when I fell apart
You saw I was a mess
In an attention-seeking dress and I 
I was an easy target
And thats exactly what you wanted tonight 

 If I had told you my name
Would you remember my face
Or long for my embrace
Cause mystery lives
Where romance goes to die
If I’d spent a whole life
Stood by your side
You’d run and you would hide
Cause misery lived
When a grown man chose to lie
I gave you a choice and you made the wrong kind

Misery Lives - Demo

Forbidden souls we meet again
Our bodies are old but our hearts pretend
No time has passed since I saw you last
I’m scared to ask, do you still wear the mask?

Or does the world see you now?
Does the world know you better than I do?

Forbidden hearts lost in love
Our bodies like art, fit like a glove 
Gone are the days where nothing has changed
Now we’re estranged you still feel the same

Does the world see you now?
Does the world know you better than I do?
Know you better than I do
Know you better...

Forbidden - Demo

LYRICS

Don’t know the shape of your face or colour of your eyes
Don’t know the sound your laugh makes or the way that you smile
It’ll be love I’ve never known
One that I can’t know til you’re home

You’ll bring out the best, the worst and the things I didn’t know I had
You’ll show me the strengths in my weaknesses I thought were bad
You’ll fill my heart with fear and love
Cause life will never be what it was

Ooh x2

You’ll love who you’ll love, you’ll have heartbreak and life will be cold
Then you’ll go on adventures learn new things and tell me I’m old
But I won’t care or love you less
You’ll see that life’s one great big and beautiful mess

Ooh x2

Someday I’ll know the shape of your face and colour of your eyes
I’ll copy the sound your laugh makes til you crack a smile
It’ll be love I’ve never known
Baby I can’t wait til you’re home

Ooh x4

Lullaby - Demo

Inspired by an episode of Couples Therapy US Season 3.
The siren at the end was a happy accident.

You get old
I get tired
Years go by, we've done this dance so many times
I lash out
You don't fight
Nothing changes, time stands still and I go find

A pair of arms to keep me safe at night
A friendly face in who I can confide
And you're at home replaying what your daddy said when you were just a kid
I'll shake my head until I'm dead

Mommy's out
Daddy cries
Dinner's on the table getting cold and I'm
On lookout 
Into the night
Out my bedroom window waiting for her car but

She's got arms to keep her safe at night
A friendly place for her to run and hide
And I'm at home replaying what my daddy said when I am just a kid
I'll shake my head until I'm dead...

He never believed it
"Why would she leave this?
I gave her a life with everything she ever needed?"
But when it came to realness
And uncomfortable feelings
He couldn't be the only thing she ever wanted
And now we're repeating
Old habits revealing
We're following their footsteps down the path of concealing
I thought I'd be better
I thought I'd know better
I thought we were better
I thought I was better
I thought I was better
I thought I was better
I thought I was better
I thought I was better...
I thought I was better...
I thought I was better...
I thought I was better...

But now I've got arms to keep me safe at night
A friendly face in who I can confide
And you're at home replaying what your daddy said when you were just a kid...

I Thought I Was Better - Demo

Intended as a duet

Before you're gone for who knows how long
I need you to tell me I was wrong
That thing we feel but never reveal
I need you to tell me it's not real

I was never worthy of your love
I hope you'll be happy where you end up

Before I go in a cloud of smoke
Tell me is there something I should know?
All the words unsaid, yet we know what we meant
But we're too scared to lose what we have left

I was never worthy of your love
I hope you'll be happy where you end up
I was never worthy of your love
I hope you'll be happy where you end up
I was never worthy of your love
I hope you'll be happy where you end up

End Up Demo - 07.07.23

Fortune teller, tell me what can I expect?
Am I waiting on nothing, or have I just not seen it?
Fortune teller, tell me where did I go wrong?
Or have I been searching for far too long?

They say good things come to those who wait
But they say you gotta get going 'fore it's too late

Mother, father, tell me how'd you work it out?
Did you know where to go to get to where you are now?

Did they say good things come to those who wait?
Did they say you gotta get going 'fore it's too late?

Baby sister, do you see the world for what it is?
Did you know when you grow up you never stop being a kid?
Fortune teller, what can we expect?
Will the world be there to catch us or is there no safety net?

They say good things come to those who wait
But they say you gotta get going 'fore it's too late
It's too late

Fortune Teller Demo - 12.07.23

Cruel & Crazy - First Proper Demo

An eerie song made entirely out of samples (except for the vocals).

As the song came together, it started to remind me of a lullaby I used to listen to when I was little, which is where the idea for 'Insomniac' came from.


Insomniac - Lyrics

I’ve got a memory
A curse that constantly reminds me, me
Its time to go to bed
As your name circles around my head, head  

And I can’t sleep, sleep

I will always know
You reap what you sow
I’ve been bad
I get it back

And I can’t sleep, sleep
I can’t sleep, sleep

Insomniac insomniac…

I can't sleep, sleep

Insomniac

Come on in, what are you afraid of? 'fraid of?
Just jump in, let's see what you are made of, made of

I know I go too deep
But I'm not born to breathe

Take it off, let's see what you have under, under
Turn it on, it's time to dive down under, under

I know I go too deep
But I'm not born to breathe

Are you even moving if you're travelling above ground
Can you even prove that you have lived if you've not drowned
x2

I know I go too deep
But I'm not born to breathe
x2

Too Deep feat. Arjuna Oakes

The Last Time - First Demo

It only turned Thursday eight minutes ago
And I'm a little thirsty so you know
To go grab the other nine dollar bottle of wine
As I lie here thankful that you're mine

We met on a night out, not my first one that weekend
And no, I wasn't there to be with friends
I was dancing on my own so all the boys would know
I wasn't planning on going home alone

Then you caught my eye
And it all changed
I'll be fine but I will never be the same

[instrumental]

No I will never be the same

We've been around the block maybe ten times tonight
I'm sure that when we left it was still light
Time just seems to fly when we're alone together
I hadn't even noticed the stormy weather

Cause you cloud my mind
When you say my name
I'll be fine but I will never be the same

[instrumental]

No I will never be the same

We've been back and forth now too many times to count
Give me a second cause I need to lie down
You want a lie, a house, a family, I want to sail across the sea
So is this it? Is this how it's got to be?

You changed my life
Put an end to all my pain
So thanks to you, I'll be fine
But I will never be the same
No I will never be the same
No I will never be the same

No I will never be the same
No I will never be the same
No I will never be the same
