The weeping sky looks up you in colors I can't describe 
A 				  E
It make me feel like you’re a queen
			     B sus       A sus
It makes me feel like      dolphins dream

A                                            E                              A
I’ve been around a few more times  than I care to admit
		E			
 But that’s my grace
A			        E		              B 
Maybe I could nail some patience into my skin 
                    C# min		     Asus
I just might make a good man after all

And everything that you gave me
			 A		      E
I want to give right back   Before you go
A                                E          B
I aint a vampire baby I aint a warrior

Maybe I’m distracted there’s too much in my head for my own good 
A
I might be the one to be
E			       B                                         C#min	A
Where your voice might set me free  With all your knowledge

BOTH SIDES NOW

By Your Side Evermore   
words and music by matthias clark 

Forever seems like it could reach out and touch you by the hand
Forever never seems to stop and notice you but that's why forever is a very long time
And I've been packing my words 
Tightly listening to you
And I've been holding onto something that won't do you
And I know nothing that I say will ever make a difference 

I want to be by your side evermore!

Look out your window there's been famine and war and it keeps driving a stake back
Into the heart of everything that's precious
And you want to break down and cry.
Then a baby smiles a newborn baby grabs you
By the heart and you can't let it go 
It makes you laugh ha ha ha ha

I want to be by your side evermore!

Listen to father time he's Tapping your window
Don't let him in because you just can't let go and if anything like that should happen to me let me know
I don't want to be your last impression 
I don't want to be the thing that holds you back I want to grab this life by the reins and ride it till it's tired

I want to be by your side evermore

By Your Side Ever More  demo_1

Human After All
Words an music by Matthias Clark 4/25/17

Sometimes I walk out in the sky
Sometimes I think I'd fall or fly
That doesn't stop me from trying anyway
I know it's reckless I've seen you tell me
In all the books you tried and sell me
I know it's crazy but I still try.

What does  it mean, to you, if I die?
I don't mind,  give it a try.
 Give it a try, hold on.....

I didn't even know sixth grade to 60 
What a child would surely learn
About kindness to ones heart
Inside, from the very start of life, 
Happiness is just the key!

And I want to  know what you're all gonna do
When we fall apart in the twenty first century
Will you take it back
Will we take it back
Will we take it back and start to live in joy?

Make no mistake I'm singing about you 
And the family tree we both live upon 
Death after death 
We have to give it a rest
We know too much, don't know nothing at all!

I wonder why these dreams are gonna fly 
Under the sky of tomorrow.
Help me discover the pain we run away from
Will you try to be Human after all?
Human
After all.
