Lyrics:

Demons

[VERSE 1]
I, lost my way
In a crowd, of sinners
Life, passed away
A wild chase, no winners 

And I, thought I knew
Thought I stood a chance
In the face of loneliness
I began to dance

[PRE-CHROUS 1]
And when the time comes
I’ll rise up
I’ll stand up
And when the skies fall
All out of luck
I’ll let you win

[CHORUS]
Until then,
I’ll keep dancing with my demons
Wherever they take me
No more right or wrong
No more wrong

[VERSE 2]
Pain, bittersweet
Does it feel good, to see me bleed
Rain, I couldn’t see
You were taking me, straight down

And now, I’m so lost
Now, I’m so lost
We won the war
But at what cost
At what cost

[PRE-CHROUS 1]
And when the time comes
I’ll rise up
I’ll stand up
And when the skies fall
All out of luck
I’ll let you win

[CHORUS]
So then,
I’ll keep dancing with my demons
Wherever they take me
No more right or wrong
And so,
I’ll keep breathing underwater
Wherever I’m going
Till I’m too far gone
Till I’m gone

[OUTRO]
Till I’m gone

Lyrics:

If The World 

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[INTRO]
It’s funny to think
It’s been nearly a decade
Every year the same
Hoping this time I'll see your face
When I first saw you smile
And when I first saw you cry
That night you got drunk
I’ll never forget those eyes

[PRE-CHORUS]
When the world was on fire
We danced through the pain
But when it all died down
You went away with the flames

[CHORUS]
Even if the world forgets
Who you once were
Even if the world forgets
I’ll feel your embers
Even if the world forgets
I will never
Even if the world forgets
I’ll remember 

[VERSE]
The doll on my bed
Time passed in those cold days
That yellow guitar
Under the sun that day you played
You were golden then
But then everything changed
You said you were sorry
You’d never be happy again

[PRE-CHORUS]
When the world was on fire
We danced through the pain
But when it all died down
You went away with the flames

[CHORUS]
Even if the world forgets
Who you once were
Even if the world forgets
I’ll feel your embers
Even if the world forgets
I will never
Even if the world forgets
I’ll remember 

[BRIDGE]
I don’t need a reason to wake up in the morning
I get up and I get on with my day in a second
I meet people and I laugh and smile and I cry
I don’t need to understand life I don’t want to try 

But I know-
Even if the world forgets
I’ll remember you
Even if the world forgets

[CHORUS]
Even if the world forgets
Who you once were
Even if the world forgets
I’ll feel your embers
Even if the world forgets
I will never 
Even if the world forgets
I’ll remember

Lyrics:

Would You Still Love Me

[VERSE]
I hope I make you happy
I hope I make you glad 
I hope I can always keep you close

[PRE-CHORUS]
But when I’m around you
My darkness gets a little too comfortable
Threatening to spill

[CHORUS]
Would you still love me even if 
I couldn’t feel?
Would you still love me even if 
None of me was real?

[VERSE]
I think you make me happy
I think you make me glad
I know I will always keep you close

[PRE-CHORUS]
But when I’m around you
My darkness gets a little too comfortable
Threatening to spill

[CHORUS]
Would you still love me even if
I lost my mind?
Would you still love me even if 
You knew what I am?

[BRIDGE]
Cause you make me feel like
There’s a place for me in this world after all
When I’m with you I feel alive
My heart starts to beat just like yours

[CHORUS]
Would you still love me even if 
I couldn’t feel?
Would you still love me even if 
None of me was real?

Cause I will still love you even if
You can’t feel
And I will still love you even if
You are empty
Just like me

[OUTRO]
I hope I make you happy

Lyrics:

【秘密】 'Secret'

[VERSE 1]

自作聪明着似乎就成了年
I used to pretend to be all grown up but now it’s really time

除了疲倦什么都不比从前
Nothing’s changed for the better except I’m a little more tired

无数的人影在我眼前重现
Countless silhouettes overlap before my eyes again

每一张却都变成了你的脸
But every single face blurs into yours


[PRE-CHORUS]

要是我早一点认识你就好了
If only I’d known you a little sooner

要是我晚一点认识你就好了
If only I’d known you a little later


[CHORUS 1]

因为你我有了继续努力的勇气
Thanks to you I have the courage to keep going

即使没有奇迹也是美好的回忆
We left behind fond memories even if miracles were never for us

别担心我会永远保护你的秘密
Don’t worry your secret’s safe with me

因为这是你最后属于我的东西
Because it’s the last part of you that belongs to me


[VERSE 2]

我游荡在人群中越陷越深
I drift through the crowd sinking deeper and deeper

可我不知道该怎么一个人
Still the silence gets so loud I don’t know how to be by myself

寂寞难忍却假装看破红尘
Loneliness was killing me but I pretended I was above it all

别无选择习惯了渺然一身
In the end without a choice I became numb and called it reality

[PRE-CHORUS]

要是我早一点认识你就好了
If only I’d known you a little sooner

要是我晚一点认识你就好了
If only I’d known you a little later


[CHORUS 2]

别担心我会永远保护你的秘密
Don’t worry your secret’s safe with me

因为这是你最后属于我的东西
Because it’s the last part of you that belongs to me


[VERSE 3]

只是这里的天空没了你是灰色的
it’s just that the sky without you here is a little grey

漂泊太久的人都不再发觉水冷了
As time passes we don’t notice the water’s getting cold as we drift away

可惜无论是谁对谁错一切都太晚了
Shame it no longer matters who was right or wrong it’s all too late

再也没有如果 也许 一定 明天会好的
No more ‘if, maybe, I promise tomorrow will be a better day’


[BRIDGE]

我曾那么较真
I was so stubborn

可现在雁逝鱼沉
Now it’s all gone

我曾那么较真
I was so stubborn

可现在雁逝鱼沉
Now it’s all gone

Lyrics:

That was just a nightmare
Just a nightmare
Why is the sky still so dark?
What is the time now?

Ah I don't wanna go to school man
It’s freaking 6:30! 
I'm gonna be late!

Up on my bed
I'm so exhausted
There's so much 
work to be done
Look at the clock
I’m ’bout to be late
Please i just need
5 minutes more!

But I- I really should just get up
It's a long day
But I- I really should just get up
It's almost 7am

But hey this is fine!
I'm still on my bed right?

Well,
The sky’s still dark
The aircon’s still on
One day wouldn't hurt anyone
Drink my coffee
Drink my tea
No one’s ever gonna disturb me
Nothing to care
Nothing to bear
I’m just gonna be all free!

Yeah that’s true!

So, I'm going to bed now

Oh no! I have a test today! AGHHHHHHH!

Lyrics


Somebody tell me
Am I right 
Or am I wrong 
Way in the distance
Through the dark
Which way is home 
There was nowhere to go but up
So I never stopped  
Will you fly up to the sun with me
Before we fall


Promise me I’ll still care when I’m older
And maybe I, I’ll carry on
Promise me I’ll still care when I’m older
And maybe I, I’ll carry on
Promise me I’ll still love when I’m older
And maybe I, I’ll carry on


After all the destruction we paint pretty watercolours
We had our fun, we always knew
If I could go back I wouldn’t look behind the curtain
It had to come, still I wished it wasn’t true
I always knew
Still I wished it wasn’t true
I always knew


Promise me I’ll still care when I’m older (I always knew)
And maybe I, I’ll carry on (Still I wished it wasn’t true)
Promise me I’ll still love when I’m older (I always knew)
Still I wished it wasn’t true

Lyrics:

Untouchable

Across a crowded room I saw you 
Smells of cigarettes and cheap perfume 
I didn’t know why but all I could think 
There was something about you 
That didn’t fit in the room 
 
You’re the only one who can play God 
Without it burning down in your face 
Guess some of us aren’t made with the same faults 
I only got in your way
 
Come to me in a floating train 
Full of dreams forgotten memories 
I know, I know I should know better 
But it seemed so real 
By the time we left it was pouring rain 
Neon lights, hair dripping down your face 
I know, I know I should know better 
But it seemed so real 
 
It took me forever but now I know 
You’re untouchable 


I had this dream where there’s a little store 
Where they sold happiness by the jar 
Halfway through I started to wake up  
When I realized there’ll never be enough 
 
And that song that reminds me of the bus ride 
from your place back to mine
How can you remind me of someone I never met 
back in time 
I’ve known you too well for too long 

Come to me in a floating train 
Full of dreams forgotten memories 
I know, I know I should know better 
But it seemed so real 
By the time we left it was pouring rain 
Neon lights, hair dripping down your face 
I know, I know I should know better 
But it seemed so real 
 
It took me forever but now I know 
You’re untouchable 


Don’t think too hard now 
Don’t hope for the best 
When worst comes to worst 
Nobody’s prepared  
 
I found a pattern 
Let it get to my head 
Miss it by a second 
Lose another year 
 
What was it for 
Let it pass 
I got away 
Now I don’t need it back 
 
What was it worth 
Forget I asked 
Take my heart and  
Leave my mind intact 
 

Come to me in a floating train 
Full of dreams forgotten memories 
I know, I know I should know better 
But it seemed so real
By the time we left it was pouring rain 
Neon lights, hair dripping down your face 
I know, I know I should know better 
But it seemed so real 
 
It took me forever but now I know 
You’re untouchable

Sneak peeks of my music before release!

Hi there! I wasn't quite sure what life'd be like without music so I started making my own. 
This is where I share stories, memories and random thoughts. At the end of the day, I suppose we all want to feel connected to everyone else, to feel loved, and to try to love people and things around us. I do it through music, maybe you do too?
