Don't know how I got here,
but I know I've seen you before.--------------------
--There's a man of tin,
and he likes to dance with me.
The man made of straw
likes to fall in the wind and rain;
beware the Lion's grin
cause it shows through sharpened teeth.
---Wait and see.
.
With a puff of smoke
he says to go to the western woods.
They come in from the sky,
and take away the girl I knew...
--By the waters bane
the witch--she starts to melt in vain.
---A lot like me.
.
--Look and see.
.
I-e-i fall, and don't know why I do...
I-e-i fall, and don't know why I do..

With the click of heels
I fly away from here. --------------------
They gather to say bye,
and I wonder why I'm leavin'..
---Didn't they tell you,
my only friends?
---Didn't they tell you?
Never again..
The man made of tin
rusts away from the tears he sheds;
the one made of straw
falls as he waves goodbye to me.
--Look to the Lion's tears
as they tumble near the crown he bears.
---Didn't they tell you?
--Never again..
---Didn't they tell you,
my only friends?

I-e-i fly, and don't know why I do--
I-e-i fly, and don't know why I do--
--anything to be so blue..
Well, shouldn't they have told you?
Yeah, oughtn't they've said?
--Didn't they tell you,
my only friends?

Journey In Oz

https://youtu.be/bQ7Cjtcq8CM (UPDATED VERSION WITH 2d ANIMATION)

And I fly away to the cause 
til I see you far down bellow:
and I wade your tragic scene
until I find you with him(in hand). 
I look up and I walk within,
and I know I'm feelin' paper thin:
Til l say that: "--I'm bound to fly away."
Still I regret what I know(------you know).
------Same night; same place..
--it has to be?
Now I know why you have peace:
You're---
sitting--
down out from under 
your poor excusing lies.
-------Someday I'll find you from me,
and I know that you'll bring to be
one to die and carve out you:
and now I wait here for you,
and now I know why; ----
for your
sour look,
torturing me, 
and all them 
to extremes;
yeah, you didn't mean it:
--not a love there, hun.
---------Another day; another mile,
and I'm insane: 
another day; another smile:
kill the dream, 
and wave when you're gone; 
and start to say 
all that 
you want to.

NOISE

I 
dream of a time
when it all fits in 
place;
I 
dream of a time
when you had
a
face.
I 
desire to
be with you
without
disgrace;
I 
desire to
tend to you 
and it not be 
in waste.

I drown
Inside your head..
I drown
Inside your head..
I drown
Inside your head..
I drown
Inside..

I 
want to see
what you do mean
by saying you're
true;
I 
want to see
the reasons why
you have left me 
blue.
I 
lost all things
when you gave 
me no point
of view;
I
lost all things
when you 
withdrew
and flew.

I drown
Inside your head..
I drown
Inside your head..
I drown
Inside your head..
I drown
Inside..

Sorry. Not sure what genre to put this in.

Drown Inside - Once My Kingdom

(This song is from the perspective of the entity, and tells the tale of a bard who come demanding them leave and summoning the light. 
A part of my "house that lived" music. More that are meant to go with it are on my YouTube page.

This was written in 2017. It wasn't/isn't meant to be a song, but I added some basic chords to it to give it life. There are a few I have that which feature the same music but different words.  Most have alternate lyrics in the title.)

I try to hide 
in the day,
but she comes 
with a song
and blows 
us away.

(vocals)

Now release your hold
and prepare to go.
I heard her say.
The light it is so bright.
It burns and hurts my sight 
and casts us away.

(vocals)

When she comes
dance along
to find your way.
Powered by the night
I try to sap the light
away.

(vocals)

I try to hide
in the day,
but she comes
with a song
and blows us away.

Away I Say

(Made 2012. This was written in dedication to one of my pals named Kye who enjoyed westerns.)

'Sonny Mcpherson'..
He was a friend to me.
Six-Gun at side
and a badge on his sleeve.
He'd die in his boots if
it meant living for a dream.
Tie it himself and
hang upon the tree.

Time goes away. 
Time goes away.
Time goes away.
Time goes away.

He'd tell you a tale if it
meant losing some time.
Burn like a charcoal to 
reveal a smile.
Rode on the wind 
to find a better place.
Trusted the phase to 
end him in some grace.

Time goes away. 
Time goes away.
Time goes away.
Time goes away.

He loved all his friends
but none more than his steed.
To sever a tie 
was meant to be unseen
he rode to the bluff on one
windy day
decided to jump and or so
 that's what they say

Time goes away. 
Time goes away.
Time goes away.
Time goes away--
today..

sKye Rider

(Inspired by an Episode of X-files which was inspired by the Jones Town murders.)

Drink all the poison
the time has come.
Another life;
Another sun.
Can't find the time to be
at all.
Fate reenacts.
I can't withdrawl.

Forgotten memories
revealed in the past.
They draw a line 
to see if they will pass.
Souls are bound to see
the death of you. --
I'm burried alive ibside of you.

They gather people
and whore their beliefs.
They look to me
and force me to drink.
Give up your soul.
You shall have eternity.
They raise their glasses
and fall from their seats.
--Drink all the poison
the time has come.
Another life;
Another wrong.
I can't find the time 
to be at all.
No one will save me
before I fall.

The Field Where I Died

Down in this stinking hole of a place
I wear tattered robes and I live in disgrace.
Bow to the ones that made it this way
we all live by their say.

The truth is sour
no food this hour.
Everyone digs a hole 
for their heads.
I live in disgrace.
I have no face.
Crawl to the ones 
that take my blame.

No one to dot my "i's".
You cry a river of sin.
Your tongue infects with lies.
-- Insincere I hear.

Your tongue 
infectious lies.
Come forward 
and stab my eyes.
The shadows I despise.
Gathering fates 
that intertwine.

Ceremony blades
kiss her wrist.
My skin begins to burn.
Down within a hole that you missed
in suns delirium.

(Made in 2014)

Suns Delirium

Made in 2017. My youtube has more. Three other piano tracks are still unreleased(one featuring vocals).

Bidding Farewell

(The music to this was originally the verse to a song I called flora, but as I often do I wrote some alternative lyrics to it. --In 2020 this was recorded.) 

Snow falls here
where I hide.
The cloud disappears,
and there is light.
Come to the other side
and drink from their crystal tears;
come to the other side 
where the cold king don't reign over you.
They'd say you cried your tears,
but you never did give in.
There aint no shadows here.
No, the good king conquers over them.

I've seen so many 
wondrous things.
-- Sands of time still fading 
while I'm here.
Painted flower dances 
on the wall.
-- Wayward dreamer answers 
to the call.

Snow falls here
where I hide.
The cloud disappears,
and there is light.
Come to the other side
and not get a speck of grain out of you;
come to the other side 
where one plus one will always equal two.

I've seen so many 
wondrous things.
-- Sands of time still fading 
while I'm here.
Painted flower dances 
on the wall.
-- Wayward dreamer answers 
to the call.
Hey, you, I see 
all the things that have come to be.
Then all at once I saw your eyes,
and removed your disguise to find out you were near.

There Is Light

The bard's song 
summoned the storm
as the hero was stuck 
by the beast's horns.
The next tune 
healed his wounds,
and soon he was right back
up again.

Listen to the trees,
and you will hear them sing.
All you need to do
is recite the tune.
Look onward to the sun.
It's always loads of fun
laughing with the breeze
at all the wondrous things.
And I know it's to come to grow,
and all of this I've come to sew.
-- With you on your knees
I'll lift you right back up again.

(Written in 2016 made in 2020)

Bard's Song

More tracks are on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/oncemykingdom/videos

I consider myself more of vocalist and lyricist, than a musician. Some have asked about vocals. I don't mind putting my vocals to your music, and would love nothing more than to.

While playing the guitar I often am unplugged, play alone, and do blues lyrics to grunge or thrash-styled-music. I get most of my inspiration from life and the stories of others. A great deal of which pull at the heart, and blanket the soul.
