this was my final project for guitar 1! i performed it in class but i thought it would sound way better with more instruments added in. i wanted to write a song about love, and about being in love, and how that feels - how a single person can mean so much. and i wanted to write about the things that we have to tell ourselves to forget those feelings, like, "it was just a phase." i know it's really sappy but i love stuff like that, so please listen to the whole thing! thank you!

here are the lyrics:

this is just a phase
nothing more
nothing less
and in a year i'll
forget your face
i know it hurts
i know it sucks
but i know that you'll
do the same
nowhere to run
no need to hide
no place like home
and no
body to blame
as long as we convince ourselves
that this was
just a phase

you can tell,
this is all i ever
wanted from
someone else,
someone just like you
and when you're gone,
my mind will twist itself 
into a 
thousand knots
still caught up in you

cause when you walk
the ground it quakes
the oceans part
and your words
align the stars
keep me thinking wishful
but always fizzle
that's just
how you are
i'd never love you any less
because of it
but if my heart beats any louder
i'll go deaf

phased out

BIG thank you to @elijahwho for letting me use his beats for this song!! (u better go and follow)

& here are the lyrics!:
i didn’t think that it would come to this
i don’t rap so don’t go making deep analysis
of the situation
i wasn’t wishin
that i would go back into you

so tell me boy
are you there
do you enjoy

making me feel like a fool

we were all good
then you stopped
and i stood

and i lost you forever

we used to talk every night
ooh oh oh
we used to talk every night

so now my mind is full
of thoughts of me and you
what could’ve been, a life that’s good, but wasn’t meant for the two

of us…

i can see you by my side
so let me just say that i like you 

but we don’t talk anymore no,
we don’t talk anymore

we don’t talk anymore no,
we don’t talk anymore

but tell me boy
if by chance
i annoy

cause i’m head over heels for you

it breaks my heart
that we are
far apart

but it couldn’t matter less to you

we used to talk every night
ooh oh oh
we used to talk every night.

we used to talk every night (prod. elijah who)

Lyrics:

And if every thing we thought correct
Had just got up and left
I wouldn't hesitate to take another step
In your direction
Recollectin memories we share the best ones
And I'd restart at step one for your affection
I'd get to relearn what makes you laugh and smile
And get mad scrunchin your nose and your brows
I don't know how it happened
It's like some men in black shit 
A click then a flash and now we don't know where our past went
Or what our past was
The half kiss and half touch
Some would call it bad luck 
And i ain't even mad because
I get to experience you all for the first time again
And take you on dates so we can talk about the lifes we live
And i can't wait for that first kiss 
I want it to be perfect
Even thinking bout it's making me nervous 
This is all just so surreal
I can't even begin to wait to get to know how you feel

If. .we. .would. .re. .set
I wouldn't mind
I wouldn't mind, i wouldn't mind no
×4

okay, freeze frame argument
we’re sitting on a park bench
our past is running circles through me,
I’m stuck on your arc length,
every evening we spent cheerful hangs
suspended in air
we both agreed that we ain’t working
though, we ended it there
and every sip of morning coffee you made
after i slept over or the way you slipped your 
sweater off your shoulder just to trace me through 
your supernova tattoo on your collarbones
comes floating back in monochrome, 
sheathed in a protective cover 
i’d give anything  to relive me and you in technicolor,
reincarnate months back to the party where I met you
where we dipped and watched the starlit sky then woke up in your bedroom
it’s not a second chance, you see, I want a second play-through
some way where if I fuck up I’d rewind to an escape route
and evade making the wrong choice
program every date with a respawn point
and meander through the multiverse, i’d go whatever distance
till I happen on a parallel dimension that’s not this one

If. .we. .would. .re. .set
I wouldn't mind
I wouldn't mind, i wouldn't mind no
×4

Lyrics:

I wanna know how it feels to lie
twisting words and dagger knifes,
tool i use to bleed the truth
words i used to hold them tight 
peers your lips and intertwine 
our hands they lock you shut 
your eyes, your hips
they move from left to right
you peers my back, but i dont mind

told myself that id be fine,
its okay and its alright
the truth is bleeding out of me
the fact with you i can not lie
next to you is not the same
the though of you runs through my brain
your actions make me feel insane
id rather you take all the blame

v2
I wanna know how it feels to lie
next to you,your arms held tight 
peers my lips invade my mind 
infect me with your butterfly
your voice the sound of lullaby
a tune ill always memorize 
your touch ill always reconize 
you peers my back and draw the line

i wanna know wanna know how it feels to lie
I wanna know wanna know how it feels to lie
i wanna know~ 
i wanna know ~
i wanna know wanna know how it feels

now i know how it feels to lie
numb the pain of dagger knife
dull the since of being kind
you fool me once but never twice
eclipsed inside your state of mind 
i mold myself into your heart
you stab my back so many times 
you deb my  scar tissue your art
but now it time to play my part 
our distance is so far away 
your smile had a pigment but 
Lately im seeing black and gray 
but latley im see black and gray
id rather see our better days 
i wanna 

know wanna know how it feels to lie
i wanna know how it feels to lie
i wanna know~
i wanna know~ 
i wanna know wanna know how it feels 
how it  feels

Feels to lie [prod. tomppa]

Chapter One: "It's Not Too Bad" 
Castle in the Clouds, coming December 4th, 2017
 
sample: "big sis" by SALES

lyrics:
[verse 1]
Woke up on a day when the sun was fresh,
And the sky was bright,
And the wind was was breath,
To the earth,
She could say that today was the next,
tomorrow was past,
And it all was its best,
And I know that one day I could show what I'm worth,
Even if these days I'm feeling down in the dirt,
I'm dirty these words that I'm flirting with,
Worth more than frankincense,
Worth more than gold,
This currency currently,
Fluently new to me,
Anything I say,
I feel it is true to me,
Under the stars,
As I fly threw the Milky Way,
Always go forward, 
No time for the yesterday's,
You and me soaring,
Like birds with the songs they sang,
People will give up everything,
It gets dark when no sunshine is clad to the heavens above,
But it's not too bad,
Cause,

[bridge] 
I know the way,
I've seen yesterday,
Don't think of the sad,
Just remember that's it's not too bad,

[verse 2]
Rise up through the day,
Till the peak of a noon,
Till the sun took a rest on crest of the moon,
And the moon carried suit through the night till the dawn,
When the star could awake for the day with a yawn,
And then flowers for hours,
Were drawn to its light,
And then showers of towers,
Arose with their might,
The world can be dark and the world can be bright,
But it's not too bad if we all can take flight,

And there's a way,
That we can move on,
Through the nights and the days 
And there's a place,
That we can be free,
From the world that we face,

[bridge duet] 
(I know the way)
Keep on,
And keep on,
And keep on,
Keep on going
(I've seen yesterday)
They won't stop,
They won't stop,
They won't stop me from growing
(Don't think of the sad,
Just remember that it's not too bad)

[verse 3] atlas 

[outro]
And we can be,
Anything in the world,
It's all waiting for me,
Can't you see,
The world is ours,
It's never too bad with me,

youre the only one that gets me...
