Lyrics:
Old feelings slip through the cracked maple door
I know what you’d say but you don’t talk no more 
I’m finding new comfort breathing in my skin 
Pushing out air and feeling again 

Sleepwalking — your voice whispers in the wind
Day-dreaming — sunlight creeping in again
Rolling down memory lane 
Every table looks the same 

The wistful glow that emits from your face
Makes me forget that we’ll fall back into place
The echoes of past loves and bridges before
It’s a fantasy but I keep loving you more

Sleepwalking — in a daze that never ends
Daydreaming — the truth is coming round the bend
Rolling down memory lane 
Every table looks the same
Every table looks the same

Sleepwalking

When It Started - DEMO

Lyrics:

Basking in a ray of indecision 
Should I reach for a cheap bottle of wine 
And drink to a state of no more vision 
Ten bucks to forget you for the night

With poison to erase 
The memories we made

All the things I’ve turned to ever since I lost you
Have dragged me farther down and kicked me on the ground 
I’d be a fool to think that the medicine I drink
Could make things right again
Could replace a special friend
I just need a little more than medicine

Another day spent with my back to the sky 
Sick from the remedies that I’ve been using 
Telling my parents that I’ve been doing just fine 
But leaving out how I’ve been abusing

Poison to erase 
The memories we made

All the things I’ve turned to ever since I lost you
Have dragged me farther down and kicked me on the ground
I’d be a fool to think that the medicine I drink
Could make things right again
Could replace a special friend
I just need a little more than medicine

I’ve been searching for a feeling that just can’t be replaced 
It might be time to let go of the past life I embraced

All the things I’ve turned to ever since I lost you
Have dragged me farther down and kicked me on the ground 
I’d be a fool to think that the medicine I drink
Could make things right again
Could replace a special friend
I just need a little more than medicine

Lyrics:

I miss you brother 
And I hate you for what you did
Now I fall asleep to the broken heartbeats
Of your family and the ones you left
At night I dream from the outside looking in
That you're crying out for me
And I’m screaming your name til I can’t breathe
But you never hear a word that I say

Now I’m stale on the inside 
And I’m drowning on the inside for you
My world is turning 
And reality keeps occurring to me
I wanna see you again 
And I may see you soon
Because the only way to get over this
Is to see you 

Life is strange sometimes 
Its colors don’t always shine 
And now it’s spun a web for me
And I’m trapped inside
Yeah I’m trapped inside 

So of course I miss you and I miss you really bad
I’ve fallen to my knees
Shaking uncontrollably 
Will you please talk to me
Ironically, I wanna hear you sing 
Like you did in your teens
Back when I didn’t like your presence
But I’ll see you shortly

See You Soon

Lyrics:

Cold sheets in December
Keep my eyes peeled through the night
I can’t seem to remember
How to sleep when the ground is white
You’ve been sleeping in my head
And that just makes it harder
To cope with the way you left
And how you seem to keep drifting farther away
As the season brings darker days

I won’t sleep better alone
On this mattress cold as a stone
Makes me feel so unknown
Makes me feel so unknown
Oh, these polar winds
Have blown you into my life again
I can feel it under my skin
I can feel it under my skin

I’m holding on to something useless
I wonder if you are too
The winter's nights can be ruthless
 Its shorter days make me think of you
Could a night's rest clear my mind?
Or would you haunt me in my sleep?
With your smile that stings like frostbite
A feeling I don’t want to keep
It’s been keeping me up for weeks

Now nowhere I go feels like home
I blame it on you and on the snow

I won’t sleep better alone
On this mattress cold as a stone
Makes me feel so unknown
Makes me feel so unknown
Oh, these polar winds
Have blown you into my life again
I can feel it under my skin
I can feel it under my skin

Lyrics:

Wide eyes so dilated
Everyone's intoxicated
You are staring into mine
You are stunning me tonight
Big words sound absurd
Unscathed, untouched
Fighting for your bluff
Laying in a haze
A place you've never been
Other things, so obscene
Hair a bright red mosaic
Soft skin and a mild tone
She's real, she must be playing
Eye skirt and I alone

Wall Of Destiny - DEMO

Lyrics:
She’s walking to church 
In her yellow dress skirt 
Pure and heaven sent 
Lord, I get down 
When I see her around town 
Because of everything she meant 
So I sin with the liquor 
Until I’m feeling sicker 
Like I did when she called it quits 
But I could never blame her
We had nothing but a prayer
In the end we’re polar opposites 

Still I toss in sweaty sheets
Beads of loss roll down my cheeks 

I just need a little bit of closure
Like a letter or a poster
Just a sign, please don’t leave me dry
I’m not a perfect man 
You need to understand
My intentions were for life

I saw your best friend
With a notebook and a pen 
Writing poetry on a bench 
Told her that I missed you 
But it came out kinda bitter 
Didn’t matter, she just laughed it off
She never fails to mention 
“Have you grown a couple inches?”
Well maybe if my posture’s right 
Then I ask the bigger question
But she plays the clueless best friend 
I just laughed it off in style too 

Now I’m walking with a hunch
Nothing really means that much

I just need a little closure
Like a letter or a poster
Just a sign, please don’t leave me dry
I’m not a perfect man 
You need to understand
My intentions were for life

Now it seems you’ve moved on
To some new friends and a new job
It’s painful and it’s bittersweet
So I call you when I’m buzzin’
Just to tie up all the loose ends
Saying “darlin’ can we still be friends?”

I just need a little closure
Like a letter or a poster
Just a sign, please don’t leave me dry
I’m not a perfect man 
You need to understand
My intentions were for life
