Incredible! I don't know what else to say. This is completely radio ready and what a song! This is next level stuff, Mark, congrats!

Hey Mark, the song impressed me as a sincere lyric about the journey of this life. Whether or not you killed two birds, I don't know. I'm not really sure what the two birds are. Enjoyable tune especially the vocal and lyrical interplay you deliver through the last chorus. Thanks man. Doug Sheehy

she steals a glance up at the clock ‘tween idle lines of conversation, am I talking to myself, feels like I’m talking to myself

another failure to engage, another train stuck at the station, but it’s probably just as well, probably just as well

cause even if the stars say not this time, something in my heart, tells me I’ll be fine
that someday soon somebody special will come walking through my door

and that is what I’m waiting for, what I’m waiting for, that is what I’m waiting for

seems like everywhere I turn I see another happy couple, smiling laughing and care free, exactly how I want to be

But I know that my sun is on the rise, clouds are making way, for cerulean skies
and someday soon somebody special will come walking through my door

and that is what I’m waiting for, what I’m waiting for, that is what I’m waiting for

my friends say I set my sights too high, but I don’t know what that is
settling for less is not my style, I’m looking for bliss and I won’t stop until I find it

even if the stars say not this time, something in my heart, tells me I’ll be fine
that someday soon somebody special will come walking through my door

and that is what I’m waiting for, what I’m waiting for, that is what I’m waiting for

What I'm Waiting For

And I know
Faces come and go
People places things 
It’s all I know from you
But now I don’t 

Now I see
You are the best of me
The worst is far behind
But now I wonder
If okay is fine

And we hoped
That things would take a turn
Go back to the way they were
Holding on

I don’t know
Where things start going wrong
Words not spoke yet songs still sung
We know the words to every one

And we see
Weddings on TV
Hugging laughing dancing
We each wondering 
should that be me

And we hoped
That things would take a turn
Go back to the way they were
Holding on
To the things we lost

Can we get
Everything we loved
Back to the way it was
Is it gone? 

Don’t listen
To what I said
All these problems are in my head
Just pretend
To be oblivious
And then everything is fine

You think it’s gettin better when it keeps on snowin
The wind has a tendency to keep on blowin
So wait with me
We waitin out the storm
We’ve been waiting for too long
Now we wait no more

Don’t worry I’m feeling fine 
The look on my face I’m just real tired
And I have nothing else to talk about
Everything’s alright

You know it’s gettin better when it keeps on snowin
The wind has a tendency to keep on blowin
So wait with me
We waitin out the storm
We’ve been waiting for too long
Now we wait no more

Now I see
You were a part of me
Missing piece of a boring puzzle
Blank white canvas incomplete

And we hoped
That things would take a turn
Go back to the way they were
Holding on
To the things that are lost

Can we get
Everything we loved
Back to the way it was
Is it gone?

Waiting Out The Storm

Smell The Roses

I've been over the limit
I've been under the gun
Can I get just a minute
To se what's come undone

You've been watching the weather
You've been keeping the flame
Being down for whatever
Keeps my head in the game

So when the these heavy days come down
And I'm feeling six feet underground
You lift me up, you dig me out
Oh when these heavy days come down

We've been put through the ringer
We've had mountains to move
Still got rings on these fingers
Ain't got nothing to prove

I just needed a moment
To say what's on my heart
Simple fact of the matter
I'm still here cuz you are who you are

So when the these heavy days come down
And I'm feeling six feet underground
You lift me up, you dig me out
Oh when these heavy days come down

Heavy Days demo

I can read
Between the lines
When you tell me all those silly little lies
I can dress in disguise 
If you think it’s gonna help to go and hide

When my heads on the wall
And your friends are back there laughing like they think they know it all
Then I can stand rather tall
Knowing that they’re watching me at all

I can see what you mean
When you say it’s not as good as it can seem
But I hope you can agree
That you and I were not on different teams

When my heads on the wall
And your friends are back there laughing like they think they know it all
Then I can stand rather tall
Knowing that they’re watching me at all

I can find the silver lining somewhere to be ok
But silver is the color of the needle in the hay 

We liked to dance and we had a laugh
It’s written right there on the epitaph
It was great, I had a blast
But our minds tend to alterate the past

When my head was on the wall
And your friends were back there laughing like they thought they knew it all
Then I stood rather tall
Knowing that they watched

On The Wall

My Conquest
Music and Words by Mark Magram (2023)

I'm coming out of my cocoon
Underneath the silver moon
Clear my mind of all my thoughts
I'm finished calculating costs
Take a breath, breathe it in
The air I breathe is wearing thin
I'm breaking free, today's the day
I'm finished living this way

(ch)
This is my conquest, this is my cause
Living my life outside of these walls
I will rise up, resurrection
I am heading in a new direction
This is my moment, this is my time
Shedding this mask I've been hiding behind
You will see me, transformed
From the ashes I am reborn

My world was dark my will was weak
lost my tongue I couldn't speak
I built a tomb, I crawled inside
And from the world I tried to hide
Take a breath, breathe it in
Refuse to let the demons win
Today's the day, I'm breaking free
won't let this pain define me

(ch)

I just emerged from a deep dark place yet another time
but I persevered 
and yes I'm still here

Took some time for me to realize that I'm doin just fine
and I'll make it through
its what I always do

When things hit bottom that's when I tend to really respond
sometimes I dont even know how I do

but I can feel it
my time is finally here
I can feel it
I know that there are better days to come
cause I'll make em that way myself.

(vamp for 4 measures)

For some reason I look for help in family and friends
and theyre always great
they help carry the weight.

but in the end there's only one person on whom I can depend
and that person is me
think by now I would see

all your friends and your family will tell you what you want to hear
cause they love you and thats what they want you to feel

but only you can make you feel it
my day is finally here
I can feel it
all the clouds have dissappeared
I can feel it
I have crawled out from my hell
I can feel it
I know that there are better days ahead
cause I'll make em that way myself.

[Bridge]
I just need to have a little faith
Just look how far I've come
I've done it on my own


Well I can feel it
My Time has finally come
And I can feel it
I can see how far I've come
I can feel it
I know what I can do
I can feel it
I know that there are brighter days ahead
because I'll make em that way myself.

mmm mm mm
Just look at how well I've done so far....so far
Look at how far I've come so far....so far
mmmmm

(verse 1)
Its two oclock on a wednesday
And we're still awake
we both ran out of things to say
just for argument's sake

well the silence is deafening
and it fills every corner of the room

you want me to crack....I want you to crack...

I admit it was not ideal
but some things got said
I suppose that we both had it rattling around in our heads

But then it comes out like this
and we're picking up the pieces of ourselves.
and when all the smoke clears

(Chorus)
I'm ready to fall again
Hearing you call again
I'd do it all again
I just hope its not too late
If you still believe in me
just give me one opportunity
to show you how much you mean to me
in the spaces between all the words we say

(verse 2)
I see a shadow thats creeping up
as the sun comes through
its casting a dim light across your face
and now I see you

isnt it funny how when we scream and shout
we dont look into eachother's eyes?
and, When the hurt is done...

(Chorus)
I'm ready to fall again
Hearing you call again
I'd do it all again
I just hope its not too late
If you still believe in me
just give me one opportunity
to show you how much you mean to me
in the spaces between all the words we say

(Bridge)
All of the stress and strain
swirling around in our brain
driving us both insane
tear us up like a hurricaine
its not indicative
theres so much more that we have to give

(Chorus)
see I'm ready to fall again
Hearing you call again
I'd do it all again
I just hope its not too late
If you still believe in us
then lets work to rebuild the trust
thats been missing between us
in the spaces between ...

[v]
You know you're my special girl
my heart my soul my world
I'm sorry for the words I say
for huting you in any way

dont misinterpret me
it was never my intent to be
anything less than the man who stole your heart

[ch]
'cause baby I die just a little inside
every time that you tell me goodbye
you possess my time and my mind
and theyre yours forever
I'm begging you sift through the riverbed sand
catch all the gold before it leaves your hands
I know sometimes its hard to see
that youre the treasure I hold close
youre the thing that I love the most

[v]
I must have told you a million times
I cant see whats behind those eyes
but Ive been taking inventory
of all the joy and the pain in our story
and when I hold you tight
yeah thats when I realize
its the joy that means the most to me

[ch]
'cause baby I die just a little inside
every time that you tell me goodbye
you possess my time and my mind
and theyre yours forever
I'm begging you sift through the riverbed sand
catch all the gold before it leaves your hands
I know sometimes its hard to see
that youre the treasure I hold close
youre the thing that I love the most

[br]
I know sometimes we cant see eye to eye
then theres times when we cant look away from each others stare
this song's a love transfusion
I've only one conclusion
I'm down with me and you
tell me girl what you want to do...

[ch]
'cause baby I die just a little inside
every time that you tell me goodbye
you possess my time and my mind
and theyre yours forever
I'm begging you sift through the riverbed sand
catch all the gold before it leaves your hands
I know sometimes its hard to see
that youre the treasure I hold close
youre the thing that I love the most
