Hey Mister

If you don't start now, you never will, 
You're too young to say it's all downhill.
You're feeling lost, but you're almost found,
You're stronger than the ones who come to burn you down.

Live like a dragon coming back to life,
Learn to hide the heart buried deep inside,
Use fire to burn away your pain,
Teeth and eyes to break the lies of the ones who live to slay...

Breathe the air, you are a wild thing,
They'll try to cage you, but you will break free,
Don't let their voices drown you out,
The strongest man's the one who has no doubt.

Live like a dragon coming back to life,
Learn to hide the heart buried deep inside,
Use fire to burn away your pain,
Teeth and eyes to break the lies of the ones who live to slay...

They're never gonna let you go,
So if you're waiting you should know,
They're never gonna let you go,
You'll have to make the leap alone

And live like a dragon coming back to life,
Learn to hide the heart buried deep inside,
Use fire to burn away your ancient pain,
Teeth and eyes to break the lies of the ones who live to slay. 

Dragon

111 Days

If you've ever read Wuthering Heights, this song is from Heathcliffe's point of view.  If you haven't read Wuthering Heights, quick!  Get to a library!  

At least have the decency in you to tell me to my face, 
Don't sit there and smile when I know that I've been replaced. 
I know all the ways you lie, I know how you justify,
You cannot talk your way out of this one. 

When I think back to all the days we spent in the sun, 
The pain that I feel is acute like you shot me with a gun. 
And it's not kind, but it's true, 
You lost yourself in someone else and I only lost you,
I only lost you...

But it's not my way to suffer outloud, 
I keep it all inside, I stuff it down. 

And in the end when it all starts to fall apart, 
Tell me: who will you tell, where will you go?
I want you in my life even so,
I need you in my life more than you will ever know. 

So if you decide to break away, 
I will be here in your shadow always...

Your Shadow (Heathcliffe's Song)

Finding Hope

The Fairy's Music Box

If you are a "Name of the Wind" fan, (book by Patrick Rothfuss) here is my take on what Denna's Theme (if the book ever became a movie, WHICH IT SHOULD) would sound like.  

Denna's Theme

I wanna know how you made the room stop spinning,
I thought it all was coming undone but you didn't, 
You talked me through, you made me laugh it all away, 
Don't wanna ruin the moment, but I need to say

That I think I have loved you from the moment that I met you, 
And I think I have tried to make myself forget you,
Cuz I'm terrified of what you would say 
If I were to ask you to be more to me than you are today....

You call me on the phone, we talk for hours and hours on end, 
Sometimes I think we both know what we want, we just don't say it,
But I could listen to your voice forever, 
And all I want is a chance to see what we could be together

Because I think I have loved you from the moment that I met you,
And I think I have tried to make myself forget you,
Cuz I'm terrified of what you would say 
If I were to ask you to be more to me than you are today....

Be More To Me(Than You Are Today)  Acoustic Version

Some days I feel like I've made a mistake, 
I wish I could go back, take it all away, 
From beginning to end, skip all of the pain, 
I don't wanna miss someone who walked away. 

But I know in my heart , when my decisions were made, 
I had no regrets, I had no way 
Of knowing how it would all turn out, 
But a voice in my head always says:

There are things I never would have done 
If I had known that you would be the leaving one. 
'Cause some things I deserve, and some things I don't, 
And I did not deserve to have my heart left out in the cold. 

I have this fear it'll happen again 
Right when I least expect
And the ground will fall from under my feet, 
And I'll slip down, down beneath 
'Cause I swear I never saw it going this way, 
Yeah I swear I never saw it, 
What does that say? 
What does that say?
What does that, what does that say?

There are things I never would have done
If I had known that you would be the leaving one. 
Some things I deserve, and some things I don't,
And I did not deserve to have my heart left out in the cold...

So go on, boy, build your machines, 
Just like you said, it's not about me, 
Lay your decision at my feet, 
No tears for you, all for me, 
All for me, 
All for me, 
All for me

There are things I never would have done 
If I had known that you would be the leaving one. 
'Cause some things I deserve and some things I don't, 
And I did not deserve to have my heart left out in the cold. 
No I did not deserve to have my heart left out in the cold.  

The Leaving One

Melissa Freeman (Also known as Melissa Jay) is a pop/rock artist who started out writing piano music after beginning lessons at age 11. At first, all she did was pluck out the main melodies she heard in movies. (Titanic was her favorite!) Then, as she grew older, she began writing her own piano compositions. At age 14, she started studying Classical Voice, which she continued to do until her sophomore year of college. At 18, she was accepted into the Florida State College of Music as a Vocal Performance major, but ultimately switched her major to Creative Writing a year later when she discovered she could write lyrics, as well as music.   She continues to compose original solo piano pieces, but her current project is promoting her alter ego, Melissa Jay, who can also be found on soundcloud!
