Sometimes a bad relationship is like a noose you have to break...

Song Sketch with basic vocal idea

Lyrics: 

I think you already know
How this is all gonna go
So throw your plans right away
There's just no way you can stay
The past is already dead
So get it out of your head
I can't hear one more excuse
It's time that I cut you loose

I'm cutting you loose
You're good as gone
I'm out of your noose
Goodbye and so long
I'm cutting you loose
You're good as gone
I'm out of your noose
Goodbye and so long

I'm Cutting You Loose

Song Sketch with basic vocal idea

Lyrics:

Burn the sheets
Burn the bed
Burn the memories
In your head
Close the door
Close the book
On all the
Love we took

Because it, was never really ours
Despite the years and days and hours
We put in
Looking back, why did you and I begin

Shut your mouth
Shut your eyes
Shut out every
Fucking lie
Face the facts
Face the truth
The overwhelming proof

That this love, was never really ours
Despite the years and days and hours
We put in
Looking back, why did you and I begin

Promise me that you won't ever look back
No never, never, never, never, again

Never Really Ours

Synth Pop song sketch w/basic arrangement and vocal idea

Lyrics

V1

I was a lonely boy lost and never found
Searching for a joy that never came around
Standing on the shore, staring into the sea
I closed my eyes once more, that's when you came to me

CH

Your kiss as sweet as candy
Your eyes a deeper blue
From the first time you had me
Girl I belonged to you
Babe I want you so badly
Say that you need me too
Don't hesitate to add me
To your list of things to do

V2

Baby along the way I found a new direction
A place my heart could stay, a kind of love connection
You make it all okay, your singular perfection
Every word you say, sweetest of life's confections

CH ×2

The Way [Single]

Your Kiss

Song Sketch with basic vocal idea

Lyrics: 

Everybody wants something
That they can't have
Close enough to almost taste
It drives you mad

Everybody's got a secret
That they can't tell
Every lie and every regret
They know too well

Everybody loves the Sun
Until it burns
She said you were the only one
Will you ever learn

This human body is a door
That guards this heart
Done with love forevermore
Don't even start

Cooky [Single]

Everybody

Sketch with basic vocal idea. 

Lyrics:

You feel the enemy
Closing in
She was a friend to me
Long ago, before the sin

So long ago
So long ago

What am I to believe
Where does the truth begin
This broken history
Where all I know is no one wins

No one wins
No one wins

"I'm not the enemy"
That's what you said to me
I wish I could believe
Despite this history
You want a second chance
Renew this lover's dance
Some old forgotten trance
When my heart was in your hands...

"I'm not the enemy"...

The Enemy

Song Sketch by E. Gleason/M. Mattice

Lyrics:

I speak of puppets with strings
I speak of birds with broken wings
I speak of harvested lands
And I speak of a fighter's broken hands

I speak of bets that were lost
I speak of love that was tossed
I speak of eyes icy blue
My Darlin' I speak of you

But you, no you can't hear me
Our time come and gone
The only thing that was ever dear to me
Disappeared before the dawn

But I will use my sorrow
A moment from the past
'Til I can face tomorrow
Somedays I swear this pain is the only thing that lasts

But you, no you can't hear me
Our time come and gone
The only thing that was ever dear to me
Disappeared before the dawn

Words: E. Gleason/M. Mattice 2020

Speak

My latest song sketch...Hope you enjoy

Lyrics:

I never wanted anything
More than you could give
Just a song that I could sing
A reason for this heart to live
I'm tired of wastin' all my time
In this hotel without a view
I'm ready to get back in line
Oh girl bring me some happy news

That you're the one
To make it all worthwhile
I won't turn and run
That's never been my style

I know we've been in love before
It seems like oh so long ago
But girl I never closed the door
That is the thing you've got to know
I may have hid the way I feel
From you, myself, and everyone
The only way that I could deal 
But girl there's no more need to run

'Cause you're the one
To make it all worthwhile
Don't turn and run
That's never been your style
'Cause you're the one
To make it all worthwhile
Don't turn and run
That's never been your style

M. Mattice 2020

You're The One

Basic spoken word vocal idea...Lyrics:

I can't help but greet the day
Filled with fear and dismay
Wonderin' if we'll be okay
As the world goes 'round

I fear that we're losing hope
With no sense of how to cope
Ever closer to the rope
As the world goes 'round

This life's one absurdist game
That we all must gamble
Don't you bet on anything
That your heart can't handle

The Sun, it used to shine
Like so much love from the divine
Now the sky seems so unkind
Still the world goes 'round

Inside my chest my heart grows cold
Will every ounce of blood be sold
Worth much more than any gold
As the world goes 'round

If there is a lesson here
Keep all that you hold so dear
Closer than your fondest fear
As the world goes 'round

M. Mattice 2020

As The World Goes 'Round

Song Sketch with basic vocal idea

Lyrics:

Love me like I'm leavin'
Because we both know I am
And I will love you back
With all the love that you can stand
Hold me like I'm screamin'
Even though there is no sound
For fear is sometimes silent
And often quite unfound

But I, I need you anyway
And I cry, when you can't stay
That's when I, need you so close
To tell me, it'll all be okay

See me as if I'm here
Although my figure's faint
But Baby please don't stare
When all my blood spills out like paint
The art we could've made
If we weren't so afraid to be
The parts we could've played
If we weren't hung up on bein' free

Still I, need you every day
And I lie, every time I run away
That's when I, I need you the most
To tell me, it'll all be okay

Even though
We both know
I must be on
My way

You're my inspiration
The one I love the most
Don't bother waitin' for explanation
I'm already headed for the coast

M. Mattice 2020

Love Me Like...

A minimal sketch...Basic vocal idea...Lyrics:

You get inside the heart of things
No place to hide you're in my dreams
You work your way down to the core
All of my fears, dead on the floor

You see everything that I conceal
You steal my lies and you make them real

Make it real...

Your body glows, your blue eyes shine
You overflow with the divine
Do as you will you sacred sender
Oh what a thrill, this sweet surrender

You see everything that I conceal
You steal my lies and you make them real

Make it real...                  M. Mattice 2020

Make it Real

Sometimes this life feels like a movie...so I guess the music I make is my personal soundtrack to it...Hope you enjoy...
