{Happiness} Isn't Being [Buried] In A Closet (Love is Love)

Lyrics:
We all have a soul inside/
As well as a heart/
Who constructed these walls in our minds; they're trying to keep you in the dark/
They tell us who to love and ex out the same sex option/
But the heart wants what it longs for/
Love is Love and that's not a metaphor/

Chorus:
I was born the same as you/
I can't change who I am/
There is nothing wrong with me/
I am different/
Slit my throat; do I not bleed out?/
Condemned to hell cause I can't fly straight/
I am standing for what I believe in/
Dear mom & dad you should be proud of me/

This new age/
Blows winds of change/
Some say it’s an outrage/
So rip the rage out/

Living in centuries/
Of segregation/
Through all these years/
We still can’t comprehend “united”/

Their false omniscient minds/
are nothing more than ignorance/
Yes, we’re all fucked and undermined/
Yet, God loves all his children/

And that’s just one of many arguments/
Virally coursing through these hypercritical (wits) {brains}/
We are singular in our own way/
What is the difference of someone being gay?/

[Chorus]

[Instrumental Break]

Honor/
Solace/
Serenity/

Give the respect to these people/
They should never have to feel ashamed/
We call all have an equal peacefulness/
You are unique; You are not damned/

Ending Chorus:
You were born the same as me/
You can’t change who you are/
There is nothing wrong with you/
We are different/
Slit our throats; do we not bleed out?/
Condemned to hell cause I follow my heart/
I am standing for what I believe in/
I am who I am/
I am proud of me/

{Happiness} Isn't Being [Buried] In A Closet (Love is Love)

The Wolf

The sheep amongst the wolves/
Oh, how it covers its tracks/

Longing for/
Something real/
Without judgement by the rest/
Friends means friends until the end/
Holding the record for the most ship wrecks/

Twist & pull yourself against the truth/
For in the end the effort was all for nothing/

So what's to say?/
You'd give them your love then walk away/
Creep back into the pack in which you’re entrapped by your insecurities/
Life has become a blur/
Pinned down on your hands & knees at its mercy/
These are your true friends/
But disgusted by such absurdity/

Engage your heart & mind/
For you to make the connection/
Within yourself/
What's to conceal if there were no tomorrow?/
 
Chorus:
Divulge sincerity/
(Speak the truth before you are gone/)
Indulge true family/
(Yield to the kindred; a lifelong bond/)

As the words knit/
They don’t mean shit/
The world that’s longed for may soon exist/
[Cause] Who’ll be next to you?/
[In the] Year 3002/
When you deceive, you deceive; what’s to believe?/

The sheep amongst the wolves/
Oh, how it covers its tracks/

So cash in the acting and the tricks used upon yourself/
Set fire to the past; live with no shame nor with a guilty conscience/
Or will you try to keep calm and carry on in this misfortune?/
[Either way] The other lives will stay strong as you live on with self-distortion/

Chorus:
Divulge sincerity/
(Speak the truth before you are gone/)
Indulge true family/
(Yield to the kindred; a lifelong bond/)
Remove yourself out of your own way/
Don’t stray from the kin; there will be no betrayal/
No, no, no/
Don’t throw them away/
Don’t throw you away/

The sheep amongst the wolves/
Oh, how it covers its tracks/
You can fool them, but you can(’t) not fool me/
You are no wolf; you are weak/
A heart of gold for you to the tenth degree/
This was our last ship set out to sea/

Lyrics
S[he] D[evil]

This hatred broadcasted is insignificant to you/
But completely necessary to me/

Infraction/
You've broke the law of your martyrs heart/
Bent my mind/
And ripped my soul apart/
What could I say?/
But I know this wasn't a sudden change of heart/
Reaction/
You fucking planned it [this]/
You've taken my kindness as a weakness/
All the things I've given to you/
Food and shelter/
Even the confidence that you long for in a lover/

Cast the blame on me/
As if I was never listening/
To every wish you made/
Tasteful as the Dead Sea/
This "real you" you're revealing/
Impacts like a grenade/
The way you turned on a dime/
Oh my it's all so interesting/
With every piece of shit you say/
I've come to find/
It was your method/
Of pushing me away/

Unfortunately, I'm a faithful man/
I would've stuck with you until the end/
I've been used and bemused by [this] a demon/
Blindsided; to think that you were a godsend/

This hatred broadcasted is insignificant to you/
But completely necessary to me/

Inaction/
Drowning in the depths of my sorrow/
Undermined/
And scared to death of tomorrow/
It's a new day/
But it seems to be forever cases in shadow/
Direction/
I fucking need it [this]
I need to learn to forgive and move on from this/
From all the shit you put me through/
It's been years/
But I'm still putting out the flames [of your wildfires]/

Blacklisted from this town/
No one can stand be around you/
I'm no longer your fool/
Finding myself within myself/
Something we need the devil/
To show us what's inside/

This hatred broadcasted/
Is insignificant to you/
But completely necessary to me/
To finally see these pictures burned away/
And to think I would've forever stayed/
In the arms of my impending doom/

Sometimes we need the devil/
To show us what's inside/

Wade Elliott's Album

S[he] D[evil] (Demo)

My life has been full of wizens, twists, and turns. 
From loves precious sting to it's soothing burn. 
It seems that that burn has been front and off to the side of me. 
That stressless touch and presents that only a few can arise. 

[Chorus] 
So take me to that place, in your heart. 
Lock me inside. 
And I'll make a better home. Because home is where the heart is, 
A cliché we all know. 

There's no formula to love. 
It drops on you when you least expecting. 
And explodes in your chest, 
Just when you start to stop believing 

[chorus] 

Who would've thought, 
that too Heartbreakers, 
would fall in love? 

A song that's never sung, 
A song that's never ever sung. 

We all have our doubts, 
oh yes, 
I just hope out song never plays out. 
Never plays out (x4) 
Cause I love you.

When It Feels Right, It Feels Right

Bills upon bills/ 
[I'm] Always broke as a joke/ 
Whenever I [try to] put away for a rainy day/ 
The abyss of these debts come & swallow me/ 
Through sickness and health/ 
This weight is mine til the death of me/ 
Our planet drives on [becoming] wealth[y]/ 
But I want a life with a guarantee/ 
It's been said money doesn't buy bliss/ 
More money, more problems; that's blasphemy/ 
This paper is God to me/ 
Especially people who sell themselves/ 

We all sell ourselves/ 
No control over ourselves/ 
Filthy paper with dead faces/ 
When we possess enough of it we got the aces/ 
The Contrast/ 
“This is me living the big life/ 
This is the best day of my…/ 

Life…/ 
The period between the birth and death of a living thing/ 
The beginning everything is so precious/ 
Ignorance in adolescence/ 
I knew no difference/ 
[I had] no worries/ 
There for no interest/ 
In making money in a business/ 
Or a popular Pinterest/ 
A living nightmare; this is the consequence/ 

The world as we/ 
Know it/ 
Has its ways of/ 
Killing us/ 
The stress upon me feels/ 
Like no one gives a shit/ 
But we all have are/ 
Stories within us to tell/ 

Positive/ 
Is how I'm trying to be/ 
Uplifting/ 
Is how I'm trying to be seen/ 
As days, weeks, and months go by/ 
With a teary eye/ 
It's hard not to say goodbye/ 
But suicide is fucking copout/ 
We play these cards/ 
There is no folding out/ 

Something's got to give/ 
(Am I stretching myself out too far?)/ 
How can I possibly live?/ 
(Or am I not stretching far enough?)/ x2 

Chorus: 
...You will know it 

(You will know it)/ 
Graced with the dawn of youth/ 
(You will know it)/ 
Slowly discover the truth/ 
(You will know it)/ 
Cause this life is too short/ 
(You will know it)/ 
There's no need to speed it up/ 
Don't let this be/ 
A mistake for you/ 
The world has changed/ 
My warning for you/

The World As We Know It

The sheep amongst the wolves/ 
Oh, how it covers its tracks/ 

Longing for/ 
Something real/ 
Without judgement by the rest/ 
Friends means friends until the end/ 
Holding the record for the most ship wrecks/ 

Twist & pull yourself against the truth/ 
For in the end the effort was all for nothing/ 

So what's to say?/ 
You'd give them your love then walk away/ 
Creep back into the pack in which you’re entrapped by your insecurities/ 
Life has become a blur/ 
Pinned down on your hands & knees at its mercy/ 
These are your true friends/ 
But disgusted by such absurdity/ 

Engage your heart & mind/ 
For you to make the connection/

Don’t throw you away/ 

The sheep amongst the wolves/ 
Oh, how it covers its tracks/ 
You can fool them, but you can(’t) not fool me/ 
You are no wolf; you are weak/ 
A heart of gold for you to the tenth degree/ 
This was our last ship set out to sea/

[Chorus] 
The saints are the sinners who keep on trying/ 
These pages are on extension of me/ 
If you can believe in anything/ 
Believe, believe in me/ 
Cause I live with a sickness that i'm drowning from/ 
These inner-outer monologues; what have I become/ 
Oh/ 
You are, You are not lost/ 

Mark the date and time/ 
I'll write the first words composed in mind/ 
Oh/ 
For these words reveal the truth/ 
Within me/ 
Concealed with secrets/ 
"My demons are mine to confine/ 
My demons are mine to outshine"/ 

For years/ 
I've been drowning my soul with substances/ 
And four years/ 
I've managed to mask my disgusting, weak-minded.../ 
Actions/ 
That'll make one stomach curl/ 
Displaying my world though these eyes/ 
Painting these lies on these lines in this moleskine/ 
Frankly, I've used about all nine lives/ 
Sometimes I felt like dying/ 
You may look down upon me/ 
But the saints are the sinners who keep on trying/ 

[Chorus] 
These pages are on extension of me/ 
If you can believe in anything/ 
Believe, believe in me/ 
Cause I live with a sickness that i'm drowning from/ 
These inner-outer monologues; what have I become/ 
Oh/ 
You are, You are not.../ 

Lost/ 
I've been lost my entire life/ 
Friends and family provide insight/ 
Maybe I should show my face in the daylight/ 
Instead of writing in (this) [a] book like a playwright/ 

"Our demons are ours to confine/ 
Cause we're the only ones who can grow from them/ 
They are the only things that help strengthen...ourselves"/ 

My addictons will be lost never found/ 

I'll walk away from the influence/ 
And whatever else to never backtrack/ 
Thin ice is better than nothing at all/ 
And these true loves will catch my fall/ 
We'll all crawl on the path to deliverance/ 
Oh, at least we're moving forward/ 
These words are meant to resite and rewind/ 
For all the ones who are sick/ 
This is for human-kind/ 

With hope/ 
We find, we find our wings/ x2

Happiness Isn't Being Buried In A Closet

Considering the possibilities/ 
Of how this piece is gonna be written/ 
I can't help but wonder what's the purpose of my being/ 
I do my best in writing to convey what I am seeing/ 
But why do I do this?/ 
What is the meaning?/ 
Is it because this is the only way I know how to exist?/ 
The only way to show my existence?/ 
I know I'm not the best at this/ 
But FYI, I really do try/ 
And I'll never write a lie just to put shit out/ 
But I've become so scared/ 
Just to talk to you/ 
My insecurities have engulfed me/ 
I'm constantly rethinking/ 
The words to write down and record/ 
Will my voice you're hearing/ 
Be the one you'll always long for?/ 
Or be Ignored/ 
Or abandoned/ 
Because I'll grow to lead another path/ 
I fear for the aftermath/ 

Wilted and outraged, yet motivated to reach the next stage/ 
These words we write on this page/ 
Are the facts to our great story/ 

I want to see what all of these years will bring me/ 
Because honestly, I'm full of negativity/ 
Already people are trying to change me/ 
Convert my individuality/ 
I guess I'm finally doing something right.../ 

With this voice, I give my pure emotion/ 
I bridge out my hole soul/ 
With no first impression for sale/ 
This is just you and me/ 
Being to Being/ 
The only difference is that I am singing/ 

So call these words shit/ 
I call it a journal entry/ 
I welcome you to my fucking mind/ 
This is how much you mean to me/ 

There is no money in this/ 
This music business/ 
We're just whoring ourselves/ 
Presenting ourselves on these shelves/ 
Nonetheless this nonsense/ 
Is all I posses/ 
It's all I long for/ 
And I could careless if it fucking kills me/ 
Exhausted and through with being vague in my words/ 
The truth being told is well worth deserved/ 
But what do I desire?/ 
The pressures building/ 
I'm stretched financially/ 
And at war with who and what I wanna be/ 

Wilted and outraged, yet motivated to reach the next stage/ 
These words we write on this page/ 
Are the facts to our great story/ 
Staring into the face of opportunity/ 
But only if the timings right/ 
We're reaching to be your everything/ 
Even if we're left with nothing/ 

I'm giving this my all/ 
Even if I'm left with nothing/ 
Even if I'm left with nothing/ 
Nothing at all/ 
All or nothing/ 

They say to never give up on your dreams/ 
To me it's giving up on living/ 
It’s awe or/ 
Nothing/
