"You Near" is a spoonerism of New Year and is a song about a girl I met new year of 1999/2000. My lyrics, singing by josephinewh on Fiverr.

You Near

V1
It's dangerous to be close to you
A quiet place, a soul on fire
You speak and I forget I am 
The worst of us, a hopeless liar

Bridge
We had our time, it saw us through 
The wretched mess of me and you
Too much would break the magic spell
That sticks to me like superglue

Chorus
It feels so good to have you near
I'm glad I know you, I do not fear
Let me kiss you while I can
My little heart is your superfan
  
V3
I swam to you, you swam to me
We floated for a while, holding our breath
Dancing round each other
I will love you unto death

Bridge

Chorus

Rasp 

File away my fear
Turn it into laughter
Drill it into me
Your crazy plans
And love me ever after
Drink my coffee
Smoke my cigarettes
Sink my roots and ground me
I need
I need, some relief 
 
Turn me into someone
Someone who id like yeah
Someone who is strong
And someone who is great
Then maybe I won’t be so afraid of my own fate
You’ll take it away

Grind away my darkness
Reduce me to a flame
Make it purple make it red
Don't want no shame
Entrance me with your pain 
Show me how you plan to make me stay
Sing it to me, start over again
Play that dirty jazz you play me
When I’m feeling ill
Im always feeling ill 

Turn me into someone
Someone who id like yeah
Someone who is strong
And someone who is great
Then maybe I won’t be so afraid of my own fate
You’ll take it away

Paranoia

Verse 1
Deepest down in the future slight
The sharpest fold, along the knife
I feel a loss of any hope tonight
A faded picture of my mind is just in sight
 
Chorus
Tick tock seconds ready
Up and at em, rock steady
Touch, rough, tumble down
Hit the dirt, hit the ground
Lay all your thoughts on me
If not I’ll do it for ya
As far as I can see
It’s only paranoia

Verse 2
Wrapped in rolls of shadow glimmer
Put it down let it simmer
Now we’re descending into fight
Weather needed, give us light        

Chorus
Tick tock seconds ready
Up and at em, rock steady
Touch, rough, tumble down
Hit the dirt, hit the ground
Lay all your thoughts on me
If not I’ll do it for ya
As far as I can see
It’s only paranoia

V3
Conversations in my mind, you see
Wanting desperately 
To unconditionally own me
Sinking holes into the grounds
Digging up memories
That don’t want to be found

Chorus
Tick tock seconds ready
Up and at em, rock steady
Touch, rough, tumble down
Hit the dirt, hit the ground
Lay all your thoughts on me
If not I’ll do it for ya
As far as I can see
It’s only paranoia

Cracker 

Black scars, refuse to shut
Opening up
They’re insistent on darkening you
From the inside
In their oily nothing
You are reduced to bone,
Shivering, cold and afraid
You don’t want to close,
Them no this is what you tolerate

Maybe I 
could return 
Back to my younger days when
Peace was my only goal and
Growing up
Years go by 
And you crash and fall and run

Brick by brick you are laid down
The wheels go round
They take you to a higher ground
And turn you inside out 
Get it together
And know whenever you feel alive
You’ll crack and wonder why

Maybe I 
could return 
Back to my younger days when
Peace was my only goal and
Growing up
Years go by 
And you crash and fall and run

Cracker

Fourth track with Amatiime (https://soundcloud.com/user-223044241), built from a sequence I came up with on the piano.

Amatiime wrote 95% of the lyrics, came up with the song title (as well as creating melody and recording 5 vocal tracks) and also worked on the bassline. I was totally blown away with her creativity. Thankyou Ama!!!

Something in the water

V1
Hell let loose
On an uncompleted wave
Struck with a flattering love
And a journey left too late
Left to my own devices
Things don’t go my way
It’s an overwhelming shame
But I, try to ignore the pain

CHORUS
Considering all the pain endured
And the hurt we caused 
And the love we lost
Considering all the time we spent
Building back a moment of peace
Considering you and me and how we fall into a pattern of agree to disagree 
Considering my emotional peaks
Would it be so out there to think
That there’s something in the water

V2
Light is fighting with my pride
I try to be myself but something in me doesn’t let it show
It reflects my shallow side
And how my main priorities are how I need to get this dough
My version of reality
Comes back to me in flashes of memory only
You can ask me where I’ve been
I'll tell you anything and everything you’d ever wanna know

Considering all the pain endured
And the hurt we caused 
And the love we lost
Considering all the time we spent
Building back a moment of peace
Considering you and me and how we fall in 
to a pattern of agree to disagree 
Considering my emotional peaks
Would it be so out there to think
That there’s something in the water

Something In The Water

Made in 2005 and recently rediscovered. Didn't have a name at the time but was track 13 on that year's Simmy Dubya compilation.

Track 13

Lyrics and vocals by Amatiime (https://soundcloud.com/user-223044241). Backing track by me.

Notice me yet

You did me wrong
So quick
And I can’t go on 
Like this
And you’re so impatient
You’re giving me reasons 
To quit 

Funny how I’ve changed
And you continue to play the fool
When nobody told you
That’s what you needed to do
The more conversations 
We have about our future
Only makes me wonder
Who really are you?

It’s hard to maintain
A straight face 
When I’m nearing the edge
But you ain’t even noticed me yet

I’m honestly disappointed 
Cause I’m seeing right through your bull shit
Sure I’m the one that you wanted
But I should have been
A little less trusting 

It’s so embarrassing how all this shame
Is just an innocent part of your game
And so many women of here this city
Has had to call you as the one to blame

It’s hard to maintain
A straight face 
When I’m nearing the edge
But you ain’t even noticed me yet

Notice Me Yet
