Twilight Serenade

These desperate times calls for desperate measures
My desperate mind seeks desperate pleasures
I cover up all this shame
Then erupt with all this pain and

This life is paralyzing
This life is paralyzing
And no one's here
I'm all alone and
This life is paralyzing me

Blinding lights blinds my eyes
Is it heaven judging my lies?
It's God's thumb pushing down
Putting me out in the ground

This life is paralyzing
This life is paralyzing
And no one's here
I'm all alone and
This life is paralyzing me

The more I bleed
The more I share
No one listens
And I don't care

This life is paralyzing
This life is paralyzing
And no one's here
I'm all alone and
This life is paralyzing me

This Life is Paralyzing

This Life Is Paralyzing - The Shadows In Between

I wish there was a way
For you to stay
I really wish
I could see it your way

Go! You gotta, you gotta go!

I lost all patience
I no longer care
Until you change your mind
I can’t have you here

Go! You gotta, you gotta go!

We’re all victims
We all hate
We are animals
We’re the same

Go! You gotta, you gotta go!

Get the fuck away from me!

You Gotta Go - The Shadows In Between

Voyage To The Stars (by Michael Jon Shannon & Cliff Beardslee)

I see you covering - covering your skin
I see you covering - cover up innocence
I see you showing - show enough to make them like
I see you showing - you know jelly makes jenny right

All these clowns scaring kids in town
All these clowns making kids feel down

You see this new drug, new drug, new drug
You see this new drug - new drug in everything
You see this new thug - creeping under my skin
You see this new thug - creeping up once again

All these clowns scaring kids in town
All these clowns making kids feel down

All these clowns scaring kids in town
All these clowns making kids feel down

All These Clowns

There's a god in my head who wants us all dead
'Cause how we treat one another just turns him red
And he knows we're all diseased
We need to be purified from above by stone and fire

Asteroid, come!
Asteroid, come!

There's a beast inside me who wants us to bleed
And I wish he'd leave but he's so sick of our stupidity
And he knows he should let it it go
But what he wants, and what he desires
Is a storm from above of stone and fire

Asteroid, come!
Asteroid, come!

Asteroid, come!
Asteroid, come!

Come take us home

Asteroid, Come!

My heart bleeds
It will forever
I drown in sins
Oh how I suffer

I feel nothing
But despair
There's no hope
Nothing is fair

My heart bleeds
It won't stop
Oh my sweet
Sweet suffering

Sweet Suffering

You never wanted a friend
You just needed a slave
You wanted to be the center of it all
Now there's an empty stage

But now this is is me
Beautiful and free
Perfectly flawed
Broken and complete
This is me

You never wanted a friend
You just needed someone to kiss your ass
You want to be queen?
How long do you think that would last?

But now this is is me
Beautiful and free
Perfectly flawed
Broken and complete
This is me

I've beaten myself so much
Now there's not much left
But there's enough to know
That I can give up the rest

This pressure finally gives away
And now I stand straight
I can see everything
But was it worth the wait?

No!

No one's gonna do it so I do it myself
No one's gonna do it so I do it myself
No one's gonna do it so I do it myself
No one's gonna do it so I do it myself
No one's gonna do it so I do it myself
No one's gonna do it so I do it myself
No one's gonna do it so I do it myself
No one's gonna do it so I do it myself

Chain Breaker - Zach Williams (Sophie Johnson Cover)

My name is Michael Shannon.  This page is to share 
my music.

I write, record and produce all of my own music.  I've been creating music ever since I picked up a guitar at age 16.  I admire musicians who constantly push themselves out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves to be better artists.  This page will document my attempts to grow as an artist.  Hope you enjoy the music.
