JAM (VERY rough sketch)drum track not mine

Recorded by: Rodrigo Encinas
Music/Lyrics by: Ruben J. Mendez

verse 1

Bread and water and a mirror please
maybe clothing and an I.D.
and someone to stand next to me
and a little one to which I leave

everything I own is in a realm apart

chorus

That is the shadow I love
that is the shadow I love

verse 2

Bread and water and a different name
I am down here in the cold flames
I am writhing in an ancient pain
let's be done with all the old blame

everything I own is in a realm apart

chorus

That is the shadow I love
that is the shadow I love
that is the shadow I love

and I'll wait for the day with fear and expectation

bridge

Well I bet you think
that you're absolute
and incomparable
to the speck of dust 
that just descended on your head

chorus

That is the shadow I love
that is the shadow I love
that is the shadow I love

and I'll wait for the day with fear and expectation

Bread And Water

Music/Lyrics by: Ruben J. Mendez

verse 1

Take from me what I relinquish
come to know how far you can 
remove me from
the place I need to
set my heart from birth and omen
drain me 'till I'm of no use then
turn around and hate what I become

Chorus

The pure blade
the pure blade
I hold it in your name

Verse 2

After all I chose to place you
high above when you belong
beneath the ground
no one there to mourn

chorus

the pure blade
the pure blade
I hold it in your name

The Pure Blade

Music/Lyrics by: Ruben J. Mendez

verse 1

Underneath the moon
I sank into my bed
to swim within the eye 
of memory and debt

chorus

Stuck in someones home
moving tiny stones
no place nice to go
or to be alone

verse 2

Underneath the moon
I crawled into my bed
The mind a river wild
the body as an island

Chorus

outro

Underneath the moon, underneath the moon
I sank into my bed

Underneath The Moon

Lyrics/Music by: Ruben J. Mendez

Verse 1

Eyes are crumbling
dry from all the staring
into your mind.
And I need a new answer
'cause I just don't like 
the one that I got

Chorus

Yet when I was in love
I held a lie in my hands
but I felt the weight
and when I was in love
I thought that you held in your heart
the rest of my days,
but I was wrong 

verse 2

No eye over my shoulder
No what if I lose what I could have won
and a day without a reason 
is a day that won't greet me
when I wake up.

Chorus 

end

(I was wrong) to listen
to the voice in my eyes


When I Was In Love

Recorded by: Chris Hopkins
Music/Lyrics by: Ruben J. Mendez

She is on the page, on my mind
Hiding in the letters left to find
and I am reading on
and I am all alone

is it me or is it someone
whispering vacantly
where am I going
how am I living
without the one I love?

I walk the streets and pass the people there
but I know I'm the stranger I can't bear
I climb the empty heights
and fall for every lie

is it me or is it someone
whispering vacantly
where am I going
how am I living
without the one I love?

is it me or is it someone...
is it me or is it someone...
is it me?

The One I love

Recorded by: Chris Hopkins

Music/Lyrics: Ruben J Mendez

I saw you in between cars
smiling at someone
I didn't dare to raise a hand to wave
or call your name
Funny how we only recall flowers in bloom
not the ones ripped from the ground or withered away
still in place
in my heart

I stood there a moment or two, feeling all blue
I saw you then as you were before 
and I felt like I used to
funny how they always collide, time and emotion
memories that I cannot erase and wouldn't wish away
are still in place 
in my heart

I can't believe the love that I still give to you
a rooted thing a parting gift
a portion of my lifetime
in unpaid winnings

I saw you in between cars, and went on my way.

Lyrics/music by: Ruben J. Mendez

I just won't breathe as calm
until I'm lost in your sea
I won't let myself go
I'll always be gripping my blood

Waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting

And I just won't speak as soft 
when I've got something to say
The whispers in my mind
are pulling me every which way

Waiting for you
