Full band version of a song I've been working on called Torn

These weeks were much harder than we thought my dear,
You know I’m not the praying type, but maybe I'm willing,
I’m not leaving you behind, but I’m just keeping,
Tabs on the situation that leaves fear.

Cause I’m a changed man that you made,
Forgetting what made us great

Metres turn to miles,
Tears on the bathroom tiles,
Hair torn from the root,
Of the problem that just doesn’t suit

Cause I’m a changed man that you made,
Forgetting what made us great,
Cause I’m a changed man that you made,
Leaving what made us great.

Torn (Live Demo)

Skinny Love (Bon Iver Cover)

A green week song entry...

The man stood looking out his window frame
Below span his unusual home
The blue and the green clashed against the black sky
One day he vowed that he’d return home 

I hope my children are looking out for me
As I fly by their window every night
It’s the best story I can do, sleep tight my dears
One day I vow I’ll return home

Oh how peaceful it looks
7 billion people below
Please take care of it, I’ll do what I can
One day I vow I’ll return home

I know how hard it seems
I know how much it seems
From up here it just looks so easy
Please just keep it green

One day I vow I’ll return home 

The Spaceman (Original)

There's a deja vu in the back of my head,
I've seen it before, this downward fall from grace
It's unnecessary to put it at least
So take my advice put that smile on your face

I once was you
My face spilt forth more darkness than light
Pain can never be masked by a smile
If the right persons looking
Square in your eyes

Just hear me out
Don't get me wrong
I once was you 

Your heads in the cloud
Hitting turbulence 
It throws you off your feet
The darkness beneath your shoes
Speaks more than you thought id ever know

Just hear me out
Don't get me wrong
I once was you 

Don't Get Me Wrong (I Once Was You) (Original)

The Spaceman

My God (The Coronas Cover)

Creep the way up the stairs, before you lose count
Call behind you, if you have any doubt
Switch the lights out, Ill keep you safe
Close your eyes dear and go off to sleep

Roll away darling
To Where Stars align
Anything can happen
Nothing declines
Imagine all you want
Theres no storyline
I think you've gone
To the dreamers land

Your cry awakes me in the middle of the night
Nothings inside me, not a layer of spite
Ill comfort you softly, sing you this song
I hope you like it, though it didn't take me long

Roll away darling
To Where Stars align
Anything can happen
Nothing declines
Imagine all you want
Theres no storyline
I think you've gone
To the dreamers land

Lullabye
