Lyrics:
Banging on the basement door 
She’s out for blood
I’ve heard stories of her before
Of fire and flood

And when I look into her smile
I know I’m just as vile

Let me give in to the darkness
Drop by drop I’ll let it in
Cause if you belong in shadows
I’ll be bathing in my sins
Let me wake the hungry monster
That’s been dormant all these years
Cause if you belong where there’s no light
I’ll be feeding the monster tonight

Feeding the monster tonight 

She knows just what I want from you
She wants it too
I thought that I could tame her down but
She only grew

And when I howl at the moon so loud
I know she’s proud

Let me give in to the darkness
Drop by drop I’ll let it in
Cause if you belong in shadows
I’ll be bathing in my sins
Let me wake the hungry monster
That’s been dormant all these years
Cause if you belong where there’s no light
I’ll be feeding the monster tonight

Feeding the monster tonight 

Let me give in to the darkness
Drop by drop I’ll let it in
Cause if you belong in shadows
I’ll be bathing in my sins

Let me give in to the darkness
Drop by drop I’ll let it in
Cause if you belong in shadows
I’ll be bathing in my sins
Let me wake the hungry monster
That’s been dormant all these years
Cause if you belong where there’s no light
I’ll be feeding the monster tonight

Feeding the monster tonight

Lyrics:

You and I go way back far to when the earth felt brand new
And I don’t know how you make me feel the things that you do

Let the scent of our love come cover me now like morning dew
Had to climb every mountain till I realized that my favorite view

Has always been you
It’s always been you

Even when we drifted apart like a ship with no crew
I could still hear your heartbeat from miles away like I’m next to you

Let the scent of our love come cover me now like morning dew
Had to climb every mountain till I realized that my favorite view

Has always been you
It’s always been you

 Cause it was your touch that made me feel found
Cause it was your touch that shattered my ground

It’s always been you

It's Always Been You

Lyrics:

Stranded
Lost at sea
Nowhere to be but
In the arms of my loneliness

Stranger
On stranger land
Feels so unfamiliar
Swimming through sand

Cause I have paid in tears and blood
My weight in gold, to make them proud
I had to fall, to fill me with doubt, learning to walk, Im heading out
I'm off to find my homeland I dreamt about

Questions
So much to answer
But too little words
At the tip of my tongue

Shoreline
Out in the distance
But I just dont know
if I wish to be found

Cause I have paid in tears and blood
My weight in gold, to make them proud
I had to fall, to fill me with doubt, learning to walk, Im heading out
I'm off to find my homeland I dreamt about

Heartache
Dont fail me now
The only reminder of
Ever feeling alive

Homeland

Lyrics:
I’ve been under the water for too long
Far too deep to realize that something is wrong

And I’ve grown tired trying coming up for air
And I’ve been wondering why I’m fighting for what’s there

I break through the surface  
But my lungs are still filled with water and I just can’t breathe
Tried my hardest
To walk this earth but I’ve run out of reasons to bleed
And all I see is tunnel vision
I’m breaking out of my own prison

Please don’t blame me for finally letting go
I just can’t keep on swimming against the flow

And I was sure I’d find a way to get along
But now I’ve realized I’m maybe not that strong

I break through the surface 
But my lungs are still filled with water and I just can’t breathe
Tried my hardest
To walk this earth but I’ve run out of reasons to bleed
And all I see is tunnel vision
I’m breaking out of my own prison

I’m bound to falling apart
I knew this right from the start
It’s written down in the beating of my heart

I’m bound to breaking apart
I knew this right from the start
I hear the deafening ticking of the clock 

I break through the surface 
But my lungs are still filled with water and I just can’t breathe
Tried my hardest
To walk this earth but I’ve run out of reasons to bleed
And all I see is tunnel vision
I’m breaking out of my own prison

Tunnel Vision

Lyrics:
Broken up and beaten down
 And my hope, it lies beside me
 seeking comfort in the sound
 of your footsteps in the distance
 but you never came around.

Now a fire's born
 And the flames live on
 Lighting up my way to salvation.

I'm out for demolition
 and the stars are my destination
 I will rearrange all constellations
 and the stars are my destination

I was a drop in your sea of lies
 Among the wrecks you didn't care for
 But now I've opened up my eyes
 And I found my way to the shore
 You're gonna see just what I'm made of.

Now a fire's born
 And the flames live on
 Lighting up my way to salvation

I'm out for demolition
 and the stars are my destination
 I will rearrange all constellations
 and the stars are my destination

Archers, march, take good aim
 let it rain cause I won't break this time
 no, not this time
 load your guns, say your prayers
 if you want war, you just won't win this time,
 no not this time

I'm out for demolition
 and the stars are my destination
 I will rearrange all constellations
 and the stars are my destination



The Stars Are My Destination

Lyrics:

Shooting down, a maze of stars
Lost but never found
One's so bright, warmest light
Pulled me to its ground

And I will let you in
Under my skin
I'm giving in

All my life I've been free falling
but then you pulled me down like gravity

Warmest touch, love's too much
I fear I might fall apart 

Gravity

Music & Lyrics by Matan Hamish

Lyrics:

I've been waiting forever on this pain to fade
But it only ever grows
And boy do you enjoy looking at the mess you've made
Like it's your daily show

They say time is healing's greatest pill
So I gave it all my time at my own will
But it seems that you just like it when I'm ill
Cause you keep on asking me to just hold still

So why would you let go of me so soon?
And why'd you had to go like that and ruin all my June's?
I guess you can be proud that you have made me so immune
And when they ask me when I'll treat this wound
I say I'll do it soon

You've been sampling every other guy you meet
Still you wish to keep me close
And you expect me to close my eyes so I can breathe
And I can't seem to oppose

You and I, we remain unfinished
But it's just the way things are
I think it's best to let this love diminish
Cause you've taken it too far

So why would you let go of me so soon?
And why'd you had to go like that and ruin all my June's?
I guess you can be proud that you have made me so immune
And when they ask me when I'll treat this wound
I say I'll do it soon

I say I'll do it soon



Soon (Country Version)

Composition & Lyrics by Matan Hamish

Lyrics:
I thought I could break these walls
I, I tried to let you in
Fought a war that I could never win

When the loving eyes get filled with hunger
Every bit of trust fades away

The warmest touch turns into a flame
the scars that I bear start to ache again
the wolf turns into a lamb
and I become a prey

Chase me through the darkest woods
Lead me to a dead end road
But why hunt something you can never hold?

When your loving eyes get filled with hunger
Every bit of trust fades away

The warmest touch turns into a flame
the scars that I bear start to ache again
the wolf turns into a lamb
and I become a prey

You've made me feel like I'm the one to blame
I'll never be a part of your sick game

The warmest touch turns into a flame
the scars that I bear start to ache again
the wolf turns into a lamb
and I become a prey

and I become a prey

Prey

Music and Lyrics by Matan Hamish

[Verse 1]
What would I do to make you love me?
When all I can do is simply stare
I've liked all your posts from 2020
I listen to all the songs you share

[Chorus]
I would wear my finest clothes and find the light that flatters my face the most
And I would post a new pic every day if that would make you
I would work out night and day so you would give me a swipe and walk all the way
From your own small apartment two blocks away and I will make you love me, love me, oh love me

[Verse 2]
What would I do to make you notice?
'Cause I'm running out of selfies  to add
I sent a DM with the flame emoji (yeah)
But all that I got was a big fat read

[Chorus]
I would wear my finest clothes and find the light that flatters my face the most
And I would post a new pic every day if that would make you
I would work out night and day so you would give me a swipe and walk all the way
From your own small apartment two blocks away and I will make you love me, love me, oh love me

[Bridge]
You messed with the bull and you won't get away unharmed
Hundred DMs didn't work, well, next one is a charm
It's time you know just how I feel
It's time you noticed how much I care
It's time you know of all the things that I'd do to make you

[Outro]
What would I do to make you love me?
'Cause I'm running out of traps to spare
I would wear my finest clothes and find the light that flatters my face the most
And I would post a new pic every day if that would make you
I would work out night and day so you would give me a swipe  and walk all the way
From your own small apartment two blocks away and I will make you love me, love me, oh love me

Make You Love Me

מילים ולחן - מתן חמיש

יש דברים שאני לא מְסַפֵּר
דברים שאיש לא יֵדָע
אַל תְּנַסִּי למצוא
עוֹד אֵיזֶה קְצֵה חוּט
לַחִידָה

יש דברים נסתרים מֵעֵינַיִךְ
השתיקה להם כּה יפה
אַל תְּנַסִּי למצוא
אֶת שֶׁאָבַד —
תִּקְוָה עֲיֵפָה

תחכי עוד קצת
תתקרבי מעט
קשה לי להיות איתך ובלעדייך

תלטפי עוד קצת
קצת יותר לאט
קשה לי להיות איתך ובלעדייך

יש דברים שאני לא מְסַפֵּר
רדומים בצל חשיכה
רעד עדין יעיר אותם — ענקים משינה כה דרוכה

יש דברים נסתריים מֵעֵינַיִךְ
רחוקים מלב וברכה
אַל תכווני זַרְקוֹר
אֶל הָאֱמֶת שֶׁכְּבָר דָּעֲכָה

תחכי עוד קצת
תתקרבי מעט
קשה לי להיות איתך ובלעדייך

תלטפי עוד קצת
קצת יותר לאט
קשה לי להיות איתך ובלעדייך

ובלעדייך
ובלעדייך
ובלעדייך
ובלעדייך

תחכי עוד קצת
תתקרבי מעט
קשה לי להיות איתך ובלעדייך

בלעדייך

Lyrics:
I have yet to write my line
My words still don't align

and you thought I could chase
But I'm still stuck in place
And now I'm screaming hoping it would echo in this space

Save me a heartbeat
Just a little space in your chest
Save me a heartbeat
The waters seem too cold to test
It may be much to ask, a quite unsafe invest
Save me a heartbeat
And I will promise I will do my best

Just save me a heartbeat

Hurts to try and take a bite
Sinking teeth in what's unripe

and you thought I could chase
But I'm still stuck in place
And now I'm screaming hoping it would echo in this space

Save me a heartbeat
Just a little space in your chest
Save me a heartbeat
The waters seem too cold to test
It may be much to ask, a quite unsafe invest
Save me a heartbeat
And I will promise I will do my best

Just save me a heartbeat

Save Me A Heartbeat

Lyrics:
Here I go now
Here I'm pushed right off the edge
You won't look down
You won't see me turned to shreds

You wear the crown
Intoxicated looking down your clowns
And you're the sun
Blinding and burning those around

So why would you just look away?
From awful things you had to say?
For all of us will come a day when we will pay
It's time that you won't get away with
From your responsibility
Here you go now
Making me look like a fool
For you to care now
Seems to only be so cruel

I'll wear the frown
But I will remember life goes back around
Cause you're the sun
Blinding and burning everyone

So why would you just look away?
From awful things you had to say?
For all of us will come a day when we will pay
It's time that you won't get away with
From your responsibility

I will remain unbothered
I will. Remain unphased
Cause now I can see in color

It's time for me to walk away
From awful things you had to say?
For all of us will come a day when we will pay
It's time that you won't get away with
From your responsibility

Responsibility

Music and Lyrics by Matan Hamish

I've been watching every step 
'Cause I know the ground will shake 
I've been weighing every breath I take 
'Cause the dust just makes it ache 

We've been digging our heels into gravel 
Clawing the earth with bleeding hands 
Sifting through ruin and rubble 
Grieving for what we never had 

Brick by brick we've built it 
And brick by brick it falls 
Too blind to see it written 
In cracks along these walls 
So we kept clinging, refusing to see the leaning pillars all around 
Guess we were built on fractured pilings underground

I've been stitching river cracks 
Seeking calm in stormy seas 
Chasing shorelines in the black 
But I've yet to find some ease 

We've been digging our heels into gravel 
Clawing the earth with bleeding hands 
Sifting through ruin and rubble 
Grieving for what we never had 

Brick by brick we've built it 
And brick by brick it falls 
Too blind to see it written 
In cracks along these walls 
So we kept clinging, refusing to see the leaning pillars all around 
Guess we were built on fractured pilings underground

Brick by brick we've built it 
And brick by brick it falls 
Too blind to see it written In cracks along these walls 

So we kept clinging, refusing to see the leaning pillars all around 
Guess we were built on fractured pilings underground

Brick by brick we've built it 
And brick by brick it falls

Fractured

Lyrics:

Memories start to fade in
My skin's starting to crawl
voices keep on haunting
loving you has taken its toll

Cause you're the one I'll always keep on bleeding for, you know
The way you pull my heart strings, a puppet on your show - you know

Come on just take it all
Girl take it all from me
How could I've let you go?
The one to set me free
Yeah baby, just take it all from me

Memories start to break in
Painfully pale blue eyes
and I can't seem to take in
That you will just never be mine

Cause you're the one I'll always keep on bleeding for, you know
The way you pull my heart strings, a puppet on your show - you know

Come on just take it all
Girl take it all from me
How could I've let you go?
The one to set me free
Yeah baby, just take it all from me

Cause loving you has led me to the darkness' deepest core
I thought that leaving would light my way but it's only been my fall

Come on just take it all
Girl take it all from me
How could I've let you go?
The one to set me free
Yeah baby, just take it all from me

Take It All From Me

Music and Lyrics by Matan Hamish

[Verse 1]

Breathing
What’s left of the scorched earth we left still burning beneath us
Seeking
One more way out in the darkest dusk of our fallout

[Pre Chorus 1]

Well we’ve been forged in this stormy blaze
I lost myself in your fiery maze

[Chorus]
Cause your body tastes like sulfur
And your flame just turns each touch to suffer
Well now our frantic hell just burned me blinded
And by your voice I will be guided

So I’ll let us burn.

[Verse 2]

Reaching
But no hand is stretched through the flames you started around us.
Holding
To that one thing whispering safety but threatens to burn out.

[Pre Chorus 2]

Well we’ve been forged in this stormy blaze
I lost myself in your fiery maze

[Chorus]
Cause your body tastes like sulfur
And your flame just turns each touch to suffer
Well now our frantic hell just burned me blinded
And by your voice I will be guided

So I’ll let us burn.

[Bridge]

And like a moth drawn into ember lights
I’m giving up my only way of flight. 

[Final Chorus]
Cause I’ve learned to love the taste of sulfur
And I’ve grown to learn that love means suffer
They say our frantic hell just burned me blinded
So by your voice I will be guided.

Cause your body tastes like sulfur
And our flame just turns our love to suffer
Well now our frantic hell just burned me blinded
And by your voice I will be guided

So just let us burn.

Sulfur

[Verse 1]
You and I, we could try
To pause and press rewind 
Our song never died
And our love can't be denied

[Pre-Chorus]
So man up 'cause I can't be bothered deciphering your code
So speak up 'cause I'm letting go if you take us down this road

[Chorus]
I'm tired of reading between the lines and finding nothing
I'm tired of looking among the clouds for the silver lining
'Cause I keep on thinking I swim in your love but I'm just drowning
I'm tired of turning your mono music to stereo sounding

[Post-Chorus]
Mono music to stereo sounding
Mono music to stereo sounding

[Verse 2]
Keep on lying to get close
You still want it and it shows
Got so tired trying to read your mind so just break down all your walls
[Pre-Chorus]
So man up 'cause I can't be bothered deciphering your code
So speak up 'cause I'm letting go if you take us down this road

[Chorus]
I'm tired of reading between the lines and finding nothing
I'm tired of looking among the clouds for the silver lining
'Cause I keep on thinking I swim  in your love but I'm just drowning
I'm tired of turning your mono music to stereo sounding
[Post-Chorus]
Mono music to stereo sounding
Mono music to stereo sounding

[Bridge]
I can't keep reading between the lines
You Give Me Nothing
I can't keep turning a mono sound to stereo sounding

[Chorus]
I'm tired of reading between the lines and finding nothing
I'm tired of looking among the clouds for the silver lining
'Cause I keep on thinking I swim n your love but I'm just drowning
I'm tired of turning your mono music to stereo sounding
[Outro]
Mono music to stereo sounding
Mono music to stereo sounding

Music and Lyrics by Matan Hamish

I'm taking a bow
Blinding  spotlights, eyes on me
Loud cheers from the crowd
Blood-red roses thrown at me

Why is this heart of mine still silently sighing?
The pains of the past will keep me forever striving

So I'll give it to you right, I'm putting up a fight
I got a fire burning in my veins tonight
I'm giving you my all, I never seem to fall
And if I do, I'll rise above and stand so tall
And when the curtains down
And the crowd is gone
Get ready for the encore, encore
Get ready for the encore, encore
Get ready for an encore, encore
Get ready for the encore, encore
Get ready for the encore, encore
Get ready for the encore, encore
Get ready for it

(Yeah)
push right to the edge
breathe in deeply, leap of faith
a fire enraged
can't let go now, it's too late

When will this heart of mine stop silently sighing?
It seems like it's harder with every step that I'm making

So I'll give it to you right, I'm putting up a fight
I got a fire burning in my veins tonight
I'm giving you my all, I never seem to fall
And if I do, I'll rise above and stand so tall
And when the curtains down
And the crowd is gone
Get ready for the encore, encore
Get ready for the encore, encore
Get ready for an encore, encore
Get ready for the encore, encore
Get ready for the encore, encore
Get ready for the encore, encore

'Cause the show ain't done 'til I say it's over
When you think it's through, I'm putting on another

So I'll give it to you right, I'm putting up a fight
I got a fire burning in my veins tonight
So I'll give it to you right, I'm putting up a fight
I got a fire burning in my veins tonight
I'm giving you my all, I'll never seem to fall
And if I do, I'll rise above and stand so tall
And when the curtains down
And the crowd is gone
Get ready for the encore, encore
Get ready for the encore, encore
Get ready for an encore, encore
Get ready for the encore, encore
Get ready for the encore, encore
Get ready for the encore, encore

'Cause the show ain't done 'til I say it's over
When you think it's through, I'm putting on another
Get ready for it
