Lyrics:
Not Broken

I'm not that Sad Person
Or maybe I am
I'm not up against
The World
My heart is 
Not Broken
It's never been
My heart is right here
With me.

It's not like I
Can't feel joy
It's just when I hurt inside
I feel it more.

I'm not that Sad Person
In all of my songs
But I do feel their pain
I feel it
All.

Cause I haven't been hurt,
And I'm not running away
From anyone,
Got no one to run away from.
Cause I'm not falling apart
And I'm not staring at the stars,
Crying,
Got nothing to cry about.



I can make myself cry
It's pretty hard
But if I can 
Hit that note
The tears start.

But I'm not that Sad Person
In all of my songs
But I do feel their pain,
I feel it
All.

My heart is
Not Broken,
It's never been.
My heart is right here
With me.

Not Broken

Sawyer wrote this song as his own personal response to watching news footage of the horrific flooding in Colorado last week, bringing back memories of when Hurricane Irene hit our part of upstate NY hard, two years ago.  After hearing it and sharing it with friends and family, we decided that it could be a way to help the victims of the disaster.  We have made it available as a download on CDBaby, and soon on iTunes and Amazon.  Click on the Buy button to go to Sawyer's CDBaby page.  100% of the proceeds, after store fees,  will be donated to The Great Colorado Flood Relief Project.  This is a Colorado-based, grass-roots, non-profit organization working directly with those in need.  Please consider downloading Sawyer's song at any of the above websites, and if you would like to help the struggling citizens of Colorado further, visit http://www.coloradofloodrelief.com/.

Lyrics:
I've been sleeping
For the past few days
I've been dreaming
Of waking up
To the sun

But my sun's
Not coming up
And my world
Has turned
Dark
And I wonder
If it will ever be the same
And I wonder
If I'll see the sun again

Wonder if my Sun
Will ever come
Wonder if this Moon
Will ever fall

I've been sleeping
For the past few days
And it's been raining
For the past few days

And there's thunder
Outside
The wind's blowing so hard
It's moving the sky
And my streams have turned into rivers
And my streets have turned into streams

Wonder if my Sun
Will ever come
Wonder if this Moon
Will ever fall

EDIT VAULT 1: Thompson Twins - Love on ur Side

I do not own the rights to this music which is merely an experiment involving edits and samples from 4 different tribes in Africa. Additional overdubs were added by myself. 

Experimental African Ensemble (from 4 tribes with overdubs)

By Matthew Martinek
 An invitation to immortality from a vampire's perspective.

All Aboard


All Aboard
In time I'd think you'd walk my way 
While strolling through the park someday 
But unlike all my prey 
Your choice I need
They call to me I can't ignore 
I know just what they're waiting for 
It's just who's taking score 
That haunts my dreams
All Aboard 
All Aboard upon my dreams
If faith you can't afford 
I'll tell you all the things in store 
Or are you only just the source 
Of my mistake?
Soon the light will show 
But in darkness you will know 
If I'm the only soul who's left to call your name
So call to me I can't ignore 
I know just what you're waiting for 
It's just who's taking score 
That haunts my dreams tonight 
I suppose you need only walk my way 
Or stay here where you feel betrayed 
It's no use anyway 
The hour I feed
All Aboard 
Upon my dreams


All Aboard (demo)

Virtual Man  By Matthew Martinek
 A song for everyone who thinks they can free the someone they believe we should know they are.

Virtual Man

Virtual man, know we can't understand
Why you'd go so far
You think you could free the someone
You believe they should know you are
But I'm here today
With nothing but pain
From the weight we've borne
If only everyone now altered
Could ever be the same

What do you do
If the whole world's confused
And you're feeling torn
And no one can use
What you thought you could do
For them anymore?
Then comes a day
You're left in the rain
Like your tears to fall
If only everyone now altered
Could ever be the same
If the world seems crazed
In this altered age
And you don't know where we are
And the things you knew
That you thought were true
Are soon taken way too far
Know it's all enragingAand all feels staged
And we don't know what it's for
But there's a part for you
If you honor truth
And you do know where to fall

Memories of days
That were thrown all away
Though we wanted more
What do you do
If your whole life's confused
And you know it's true?
Who do you trust if the one
Who should trust you has not enough?
Who can you love if the one
Who should love you has not enough?

What is to gain if they all feel the same
But you want it more
Nothing's enough for no one you can trust
But in us you must
Virtual man, I know that we can
Yes, I know we are
For those who know in life they've faltered
Will be the same who blame

What is the plan?
Don't you know who I am?
Don't you know we are now?
You think there could be
Something more to your meaning
Before we're gone now


Virtual Man (demo)

By Matthew Martinek... A song once described by my friend Carlos Wilde as Theatrical Reggae....

Until Tomorrow (demo)

By Matthew Martinek 
Including "Virtual Man" and "Waiting to Adore", "What Nobody Knows" would be the third song I have uploaded from the musical "Waiting to Adore" about multiple personalities and unconditional love..  Act 2 starts with "What Nobody Knows" and tells how the lead character has made the decision to let his heart absorb the guilt as he attempts to make them all happy and be the man of all their dreams until he begins to fall for the seemingly stable, newest manifestation of his wife's many personalities. There are many worse he could be cursed with but from this one his heart has lifted and so continues his efforts to maintain this secret and he will know what nobody knows if fate was ever his to control.........as he vows to never let them take her away.   Lyrics-       
 What Nobody Knows
 
Through time I've seen 
Many She's been, 
But deem this one can be relied on
She doesn't seem to notice she's a mystery
But feels that I am
Or maybe she believes 
This life is just a dream we're both apart of
While caught between realities 
And memories I seek  of her love

Why can't they be all real to me 
If they don't notice any difference
If I'm to face a new replacement 
If they can't remain consistent
To my amazement
Through her phases
I'm an actor gone the distance
And I will be the man it seems 
Of all their dreams without resistance   

And we will know what nobody knows
If fate was ever mine to control
I know just what it is they would say
They'd only want to take her away

These roles I'll play 
Until the day 
That she is whole 
If I'm persistent
Yet always I'm amazed 
By ways their histories and memories differ
And for today if this one stays
Then you must know how much I'll miss her

And we will know what nobody knows
If fate was ever ours to control 
I know just what it is they would say
They'd only want to take her away                                

And we will know what nobody knows
If fate was ever mine to control
And we will be anybody they need
Amnesia was their gift from me
It makes them easier to hold
They always ask me
And I don't know
But do know what it is they would say
They'd like life so much better this way

Some call it supernatural
Life can't always be so wonderful
So beware who you dare think you know
It's only what their eyes will show………..

Thompson Twins // Hold Me Now (mmd twelve re-edit)

By Matthew Martinek 

Simpler Flowers

She's not at home
And won't pick up her phone
I couldn't see what's in her eyes
Besides the stars
But now she's shone too far

If I can't help but explain
All her lies
She keeps divided
In her shadowed halls
Then there's another wall

And now I'll never know
If forever I'm controlled in spite

And what is wise
When your left hypnotized?
I should realize 
That every time she calls
I've no chance at all

The tender maze she's laid
To her design
That keeps me winding
On her search for one
Could never find her love

And now I'll never know
If forever I'm controlled in spite 
But feeling so alone
If she called me on the phone
I might

And it's so hard
When she always cries,
"But I'm only here waiting alone"

And all the time
She makes me wonder why
I feel so blinded by her guiding star
Taken all too far

I've suffered enough for her
It's no surprise
I'm just a satellite
Amongst a star
Taken all too far

And now I'll never know
If forever I'm controlled in spite
But feeling so alone
If she called me on the phone
I might

But it's so hard
When she always cries
So I never did let her know
Where we are
Till I realized
Why she'll always be waiting alone
Where the simpler flowers grow
