If I wrote you a love song
It would be long overdue
The verse would take a starry night
The chorus might take two

I’d sing your name & take the blame
For all the words I said in vain
I’d take you in my arms to see
Your eyes looking back at me

Days are long and the nights are cold
Story’s written and the end foretold
If I had one more word to say
I never should have let you leave that day

Scuff marks on the studio floor
Where we danced, the shoes you wore
Mountains crumble to the sea
Zeppelin songs, Jack White & me

I told you that I loved you
But I never said enough
Rainy days, teardrop stains
A diamond and your stuff

Days are long and the nights are cold
Story’s written and the end foretold
If I had one more word to say
I never should have let you leave that day

I let you leave that day
I let you leave that day
I let you leave that day
That day

The day you left the lights went out
I drank until the morning sun
It tore me down, each shred of doubt
I knew you were the only one

You never got your ring
I never got to sing
The love songs that I wrote for you
Now this one will have to do

Days are long and the nights are cold
Story’s written and the end foretold
If I had one more word to say
I never should have let you leave that day

Country Song

A hard rock take on the David Bowie classic.  From producer Stuart Epps.

Ground control to Major Tom
Ground control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may Gods love be with you

This is ground control to Major Tom
You’ve really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now its time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to ground control
I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do

Though I’m past one hundred thousand miles
I’m feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell me wife I love her very much she knows

Ground control to Major Tom
Your circuits dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom? 
Can you hear me, Major Tom? 
Can you hear me, Major Tom? 
Can you....

For here
Am I floating in a tin can

Far above the moon
Planet earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do

lyrics:

[intro]
the voices; they never leave
talk down to me endlessly
i’m trying my best to breathe
let it be

[verse 1]
this darkness inside my head
has purposefully misled
all of my closest friends
from ever getting close to me
‘cause i don’t wanna hurt your feelings but i’m best all alone
yeah i just know i’m unappealing when i’m left vulnerable
and i have problems with my eating, mind's at rest when i don’t
i admit it
i let the other guy take control
i hate my skin
so i’ll just tear it off
and lay my bones out on the tabletop
there are those that find perfection within
so i guess that i’d do anything to get to it
and i don’t wanna die but maybe it’s easier
roll tide; he got crushed by a meteor
i’ll leave behind my ungodly exterior
i pushed and they folded
my body was molded wrong

[spoken]
what are you doing?
get back here
you are nothing
you need us

[chorus 1]
i hate you
you cut all my slack, drove a knife in my back
thinking i won’t face you?
soul is under attack, brush it off like it’s plaque
homie i pre-date you
and i can re-create you
gonna rip the beast from the art
so i can tear him apart
discarded
i hate you
got me feeling insane, parasite in my brain
tryna find a way to
cut it out from my veins, keep the venom contained
had to see the pain through
we were told a fake truth
gonna stab the beast through the heart
for all the lies he’d impart
discarded

[verse 2]
lies, greed, misery
that should tell you everything
your eyes breed sympathy
object of antipathy
i fuck things up
and then i wonder why strings get cut
just grind me down ‘till i’m dust
i’m disgusting
go on discuss me
go on discuss me
i’d die for this shit bro trust me
don’t lie when you say you want me
i try but i still can’t breathe
said you rescued me
made it look so easy
deceit don’t please me
it never will

[chorus 2]
i hate you
you cut all my slack, drove a knife in my back
thinking i won’t face you?
soul is under attack, brush it off like it’s plaque
homie i pre-date you
and i can re-create you
gonna rip the beast from the art
so i can tear him apart
discarded
i hate you
got me feeling insane, parasite in my brain
tryna find a way to
cut it out from my veins, keep the venom contained
had to see the pain through
we were told a fake truth
gonna stab the beast through the heart
for all the lies he’d impart
discarded

[chorus 3]
they hate you
you cut all of my slack, now i’m taking it back
maybe i can’t blame you
i was under attack, introspection i lack
thought that i’d create you
someone they’d relate to
but they saw the beast as the art
it’s time to tear him apart
discarded
they hate you
made me fucking insane, motivational drain
tried to find a way to
keep the numbers sustained, but that shit was in vain
had to see the shame through
you were told my fake truth
wanna stab the beast through the heart
for all the lies he’d impart
discarded

[outro]
fake
clone
liar
they hate you
die

discarded

SOMEDAY DARKNESS-Words & Music by RICHARD ORANGE

A day like any other
Not if you're her mother
Robbed of love by fate
That did not hesitate
To fill a well of tears
An ocean over years

If I could take your place
Just once to see your face
A moment to embrace
Draw from the deck an ace
Of hearts, time and space

Never Tuesday
No matter what you say
No more happy birthday
With these tears I pray
Until they fade away

Every step a mile
Every breath your smile
The one I gave to you
Nothing else will do
In your eyes I see
You looking back at me

The anchor of my faith
If I could touch your face
There's nothing to replace
Roses, white and lace
A day that never comes
As I face another one

Never Tuesday
No matter what you say
No more happy birthday
With these tears I pray
Until they fade away

Starting with tomorrow
Nothing left to borrow
Nothing left but sorrow
Tomorrow

Blood runs from my nose
It's yours but no one knows
And mine, they are the same
There's no one left to blame
I wash myself from shame
Forever we remain

Never Tuesday
No matter what you say
With these tears I pray
Until they fade away
Never Tuesday
