Between the Bars (unlearned pandemic basement demo)

can't figure improv demo june 25 '22

i’d apologize for the look in my eyes
if i could only see it
but you’ll let it slide cause you know the night’s
only getting shorter

but the suddenness
is making me miss
a place where i can lay my head down

i cannot say what i probably should say
the silence draws me in
i just need a way
to step outside the patterns in my mind
and yours rotate by
and they won’t collide
as long as they’re in motion

and the stubbornness
is making me miss
a place where i can lay my head down

The Suddenness

Sidelines

sunglasses on in the morning,
cause the light cuts too deep today
gave myself a fair warning
that i'd have to find another way
to learn my life back to front
to get somewhere that isn't here
to stumble on some confidence
to burn out bright then disappear

well i'm only awake when i am dreaming
a little feather in your ribcage feeling
that flutters in and flutters out
to make room for something tangible
if i feel my edges blurring
it means i'm part of something more

lately, i'm waking to abalone sky
not taking, or breaking, the turning of the tide

now that i’m gone i think i’ll start to take some time to figure out
just what it is that i felt
when i couldn’t feel nothing at all
just what it is that i need
like quiet or trees or tylenol

and a house is not broken into
until i can’t sleep a whole night through
until i see the tilt and the shade until
i feel the weight and feel the length of
the morning rays on my wrinkled sheets
of the hallway draft on my cheek
pulling me back into the fray
pulling me back into a crowded street

cause lately i’m waking to abalone sky
but i'll be taking, and making, the turning of the tide

Abalone Sky demo

ennui

Elmo was the Godfather of Emo

Buzzing (ADHD) demo

folk-pop singer-songwriter from SoCal, single-handedly ruining credibility for soundcloud artists, one shoddy demo at a time (varying environments, quality, and production)
