4th of July Mix 2021

if love's a play
I lost the part
that's how it is
and that's how it was

carefully
misplaced my heart
and turned it to
an empty box

and it's killing time
blackhole of love,
where it goes to die
the love is gone

I try to paint
the canvas of
the coldest days
but i've lost the brush

the garden shed
and what it hides
can never see
can never see the light

and I'm killing time
blackhole of love,
where it goes to die
the love is gone

the never ending path I roam
that leads me to everywhere but home
the candle light has been put out
by me

I didn't mean to let you down
you don't recognize who I am now
till the day that I die, I love you all
I'm realizing now, that I just might fall
through life

Blackhole of love [demo]

The sun is setting [demo]

wait,
the longest maze
that I've ever known
from the room to the door

I see you everywhere I go,
in the sky and in the sea
I see you in the concrete, yeah

and if you can't love me, yeah
then no one else can
and if you can't love me, yeah
then no one else can

wait,
nothing good ever lasts,
at least not for me
wine glass sits in my hands

wait,
it all happened so fast
and spontaneously,
it made me believe
that it was meant to be a good thing

now I'm stuck falling out
of love with me
and everything around,
feel smaller than the streets
we walk all over at night

the street sign speaks to me,
says "look what you've done"
that's when I know
that this life
just ain't cut out for me

Wait [demo]

Lack of Color (Death Cab for Cutie) - Recording Test

because it is
flying time, cycle ends
and begins by raining down on us
and for me,
silver poison
burning through my throat
will have me clinging by
a string that can't be cut

'cause I fall everytime, silver poison,
and life will be too short for me to learn
the pillars of eternal youth will fall
what happens to me if I don't become?

because it is
over, all the time
and for me
it will be too
soon enough,
and all just because it is

'cause I fall everytime, silver poison,
and life will be too short for me to learn
the pillars of eternal youth will fall
what happens to me if I don't become?

I fall in a cloud of silver poison,
and life will be too short for me to learn
the pillars of eternal youth will fall
what happens to me if I don't become?
what happens to me if I don't become?
what happens to me if I don't become?

Silver poison [demo]

Dawnin’ [demo]

early after dawn
I see you fast asleep on the couch
as I come up from the stairs
and I take my place beside you
I don't wanna go anywhere

sitting by the fireplace
made me feel so warm
please stay with me forever
cause you're home

woke up from your slumber
saw a vision of me in the night
and I remembered that
that I wrote a song about you
way before we even met

sing it for you while your face
bathes in the morning sun
and you whisper sweetly in my ear
"you're the bullet to my gun"
the one that makes me feel like I'm myself
alone in the darkness
please stay with me forever
now you're gone

and I wonder where should be my place
if I'd ever seen or heard your love
so won't you throw it over across to me
and I'll keep it to myself
I'll keep it locked up inside a box

Morning sun [demo]

Lyrics: I’m afraid my non abstract words will catch your eye 
I’m also afraid that it’d be no surprise 
And I don’t mean to pry but, I’d like to know all about  the sky blue tears in your life 
All those that flowed down your soft cheeks almost resembling a melting doll 
I’m aware that I don’t know you at all 
I’m also aware that you’ve been a stranger to yourself ever since your first crawl 
But here we are burning the midnight oil 
Showing up on time with splinters for two 
Casting away the spells that we just happen to miss on each-other
 I’ll let you in on a little secret
I find myself wanting to think about you 
You somehow manifest yourself into the jigsaw puzzles that are my lingering thoughts 
“You sound like how it smells when it’s gonna rain”
 I said out loud to myself as I was walking to class a couple weeks ago before two stormy nights 
I also pictured us hugging hello for the first time 
And you went in for that standard Mexican greeting where you put your cheek on theirs 
And I felt your lips with my skin 
Well, I could feel them only in the sense that I was aware of having almost felt them 
That was a weird feeling 
I wanted to tell you about it 
But I was afraid my non abstract words would catch your eye

Midnight Oil (demo)

the sun is at the bottom of
the ocean and it's dug into
the ocean floor
waiting for the day to come
to rise until
the deed is done
and she takes her place
right besides the moon

the sun is at the top of the
the glaciers and it's melting all
our hopes away
waiting for the waterfalls
to spill them out
and return them to
every one of us
and to the sun too

Her
