Recorded this song with my friend Ed.

Lyrics:
I'm breaking up, and breaking down
All these walls around me
And I see the fire in your eyes
With tears that are so smokey
I'm sick of this mess I'm in
Covering the floorboards
I haven't seen in so long
I can't remember how they used to be
In the dark of these cold winter nights.

And I've been looking up
And I'm getting better
Though I know you're still
A bit under the weather
And I care too much
About everyone else
And I would leave myself behind
As long as I know you'd be alright

I can't stand how it seems
The days keep growing shorter
And I cannot hear anything
This silence is torture
I'm in disbelief with everything
The world changes around
But for the first time In years
I don't think this will bother me
But that doesn't mean I'm not scared

But I've been looking up
And I'm getting better
Though I know you're still
A bit under the weather
And I care too much
About everyone else
And I would leave myself behind
As long as I know you'd be alright

And I'll be there for you
And through the deafening silence
I hope my words will never die
And all the pain I'd go through
And I will swear on my grave
Tomorrow will be a better day

And I've been looking up
And I'm getting better
Though I know you're still
A bit under the weather
And I care too much
About everyone else
And I would leave myself behind
As long as I know you'd be alright
So please promise me you'll be alright
All I want is for you to be alright

Better Days (Feat. Ed Allison)

When I was younger I would not have guessed 
Someone could just walk into your life and change you
See I was so naive, and I could not believe
What you've done for me is not something that I can return

Cause I've run out of cards to play in this deck
and I've lost the self control to care
So is this how the story goes
Or how our story ends
And Who Really Knows if I'll come to terms

I wish you knew how much you meant to me
And I'm sorry I could not follow through with everything that you needed me to
And it may not mean much now
But I really did love you, I don't know what to tell you
I guess commitment's just something I've never excelled at

And now I need something so strong
That when it comes back up the only thing that comes out is your name
Cause these nights get so long
When the thought of you keeps me awake
And Who Really Knows if I'll come to terms

Who Really Knows if I'll come to terms with what I've done
I left you alone on the street in the cold
And the next day the words I spoke 
They felt like fire in my throat
I really didn't mean it 
I just didn't know what to say
And I could not forgive myself
Until you found someone else
Someone to hold you on those cold long nights
He'll treat you better than I did

So this can't be how our story goes
It's how our story ends.


Who Really Knows

After weeks of debating whether I should upload this song I finally decided to. Enjoy my shitty guitar playing

Lyrics
Another day spent believing
I can be someone you need
Another night awake in bed
It takes me hours to fall asleep
Another song I write to feel
Like I'm something unique
But that's a lie I'm mass produced
Spit out by a factory machine
	
And you should know
I'm not who I seem to be
It takes me years to open up
To those who grow close to me

And I can't stand the way you loved me
Like a porcelain doll
Like you were too afraid to move me
Cause I might just fall apart
Well you should know I could use a good shove
From time to time
To get me moving in the ways that can save my life
Will you save my life

And I can't understand
Why the way you grin just makes me mad inside
And I can't comprehend
Why I won't dive in if I know I'll be alright
And if you leave me here
It's a matter of time till it all breaks down
Cause I'm just a time bomb
I'm a time bomb
Mass produced, spit out on the town tonight

And I understand why you loved me
Like a porcelain doll
You were too afraid to move me
You knew I'd fall apart
Well I should know you gave it your best
But it was no good cause
This doll's a time bomb
Set to blow when I hit the town at night
Set to blow whenever you can't see
What tears me up inside
Set to blow
Set to fall apart

Porcelain Doll (Live)

You would think that I
Have been burned so many times
That I would have seen this coming
Long ago
But it seems I’ve been caught
With my hopes up and my heart let down
It’s déja vu, the running status quo

See when she talks to me
My mind runs easy
For once I can breathe I can speak
I can sleep. 


It’s hard to properly
Articulate how I’m feeling
When I feel broken, but still need to save face
And when I finally get the nerve
To get this weight off of my chest
It doesn’t matter, it’s far too late in this game

So when you say goodnight
And we kiss goodbye
Just know I’m up all night
Wishing I could let this die

It’s easier to say I have no regrets
Than to acknowledge them and reap what I’ve sown
So at the end of this day
I’ll burn this note I’ll walk away
This mask is easier to keep
When I’m on my own

So when you see me pass bye
And you’re wondering why
I won’t even try
It’s cause this match has been burned
One too many times
