Words and Music by Matt Ruddick

Take me to Dreamland
Make it quick and understand 
I'm tired of waking
Cause out with the living
My smiles are fake and hiding
for you I cry

Deep in Dreamland
The Autumn breathes year round
And next to me is where you'll be
Don't make a sound, I'm falling

I'm always the last
to know that time has not passed
Wait one more turn
A sign of beginning
Or of nothing
Must cool the burn

Deep in Dreamland
The Autumn breathes year round
And next to me is where you'll be
Don't make a sound, I'm falling

Take me to Dreamland
Make it quick and understand
I'm tired...

Dreamland

Stop The Hurt (incomplete demo)

I wish I was out in the canyon
With the killers and the thieves
I'd be there as your companion
Give you all that you need

I don't have any reason
To tell you anything but the truth
The fire that you're setting
Is burning me for you

I waited out the fear and the worry
I just hoped to change your mind
But I guess it's just a story 
And you provided the punch line

--Chorus--

I can be sure that I believed in love this time
And you were so sure I'd never break in your barricade of lies

--Chorus--

Burning Me

Stop the hurt v2

Your magic it's Unnerving but
I'll tell you anyway I like it
Tomorrow I'll be normal and
Pretend that inside I'm not dying

Is it slight of hand or slight of heart
That keeps on pulling me back in?
Was it all a trick, baby, from the start?
Now I get it

Whoa Magician, it's all an illusion isn't it?
Whoa magician, tell me how could you do it 

The smoke and the mirrors 
They kept your motive in the shadows
Not trying to be careful I
Got a secret I've been hiding too

Is it slight of hand or slight of heart
That keeps on pulling me back in?
Was it all a trick, baby, from the start?
Now I get it


--chorus--

Magician

Mystery Girl (early demo)

"Cold War"

Falling fast like I always do
A roller coaster ride 
falling down for you
So many years ago, 
how I missed those days
Before the chemicals 
took over all the way

I don't want to lose myself
If I don't know what for
For fear of the loneliness, we fight
A Cold War

You're not blind, you can see it too
My guess is you feel the same
Or at least what you choose
Your mighty sword of words
That used to cut so deep
Has been replaced by silence,
"The language of the weak"

You don't want to lose yourself 
If you don't know what for
For fear of loneliness, we fight
A Cold War

No forces on the battlefield
No bomb are in the air
I'm just waiting for the red phone 
To call and tell me
That you're not really here

Cold War

Don't Wanna Love You - demo

C'mon sit back I've got a story
It's one that starts so long ago
A mighty headwind was a blowin
No matter which way I'd go

It Came lacking hesitation
To see if we'd give up on the fight

A wall of tears blocked off the many
From all the fearless and the few
And i just waited for a hero
To come fly high out of the blue

But it's without explanation 
How sun takes on the night

Up up and away
She's saving the day 
A princess in armor 
Can't make a mistake
Who needs to fly when I've got you coming out of the blue

Fly right to me
