Our first demo <3

Lyrics:

“I keep my eyes fixed on you”
Least that’s what I said
But is that what I did?
“Here in my heart, there’s your room”
But I’m losing control
And I vowed I’d never lose

Oh my God I’m a mess, Working down my fingertips
Eyes turned back into my brain
Hole in my holiness, what’ll I do with this 
If only I could see you through rain

I keep my heart tangled up
In my own headspace, Can someone find the knot?
Here in my room you’ll see a book
With tear-filled pages, From all I haven’t done

Oh my God, where are you, find the nerve to scream at you
Tell you How I lost my first love
Heart turning royal blue, Joy is long overdue
Calling at a wall till it turns to dust
Maybe I’ll find you in the dust

Maybe that’s where
I’ll find you
In the dust
In the dust

In the Dust (Demo)

Lyrics:

Love, never let me go.
Hold me like your silver rope.
Be all that I hold.
Be a hole that holds a tree that holds me up.
You love me like the dawn,
And kiss me with a sky of bronze.

Hold me in your arms,
A mother bear, a father's heart.
A hundred miles to raise me up,
Where the more I'm lost, the more I'm found. 

Love, never hold your voice.
Speak to me and let me see your choice.
And be all that I hear.
Be the arrow clutched to kill my fear. 
You call me through the night,
And draw me with your pale light.

Draw the robes, let the glory shine;
A moon in full, the speckled sky.
Release me from my own device.
Well, the less I try, the more I find.

Love, Don't Let Me Go

Lyrics:

“I keep my eyes fixed on you.”
At least that’s what I said, 
But is that what I did?
“Here in my heart, there’s your room.”
But I’m losing control, 
I vowed I’d never lose.

Oh my God I’m a mess, 
Working down my fingertips,
Eyes turned back into my brain.
Hole in my holiness, what'll I do with this?
If only I could see you through rain.

And I keep my heart tangled up.
In my own headspace, 
Can someone find the knot?
Here in my room you’ll see a book,
With tear-filled pages, from all I haven’t done.

Oh my God, where are you?
Find the nerve to scream at you, 
Tell you how I lost my first love.
Heart turning royal-blue, joy is long overdue,
Calling at a wall till it turns to dust.

Maybe I’ll find you in the dust...

Maybe that’s where...
I’ll find you.
In the dust...
In the dust...

In The Dust

Well, life is a bitch when the silence is thick,
So I heed the voices within. 
And all that I want is a Father in God,
But I grasp for a face in the wind. 
And I don't think that they understand.

I say that you love the black and the blue,
But I don't believe it myself. 
My heart is a fire that's begging you,
"God, damn my little hell."
It's just my little hell.

Well, I'll take a shot of that poison each night,
It’s a feast for that beast in my heart.
And I hate the gleam of that sword that you need,
To tear his old body apart. 
It's a blinding work of art. 

If I say I want you,
Would you say you want me too?
If I say I want you,
Would you say you want me too?
If I say I want you,
Would you say you want me too?
If I say I want you,
Would you say you want me too?

I sink with the ground beneath this old house,
Because our conversation is bare.
The dents in the floorboards will drive home the point.
I'm keen to what hangs in the air. 

The darkness is where you abound.
Well, you're in and you're through and around. 
You're my pain. 
You're my heart.
You're my sound.
You're my pain.
You're my sight.
You're my frown.

Little Hell

Lyrics:

There was always something about you.
Was’ a little bit of light that always curled up around you.
But you always looked away, curved your path and looked on,
And that something about you wasn’t with you all along.

I thought you were the one to love and hold me close
When I’m feelin’ some type of way that I felt so long ago.
And I cannot go back to being your man no more,
Not after what you done to me, not after what you done to me, no no.

There was a bottle in the middle of us both.
And we played a little catch with it until it broke all on the floor.
And I did away with any hope I had, if there ever was before.
But I wanted to be your man and I always just hated saying no.

So I would spend night after night, just spending away,
With a little bit of money and a big smile on my face,
Til you fucked with my heart again, for the last time I’m sure.
And you wanted me to be your man, but ain’t nobody wanna be your man no more.

Just Another Breakup Song

You are the voice in my head.
You are the song that I dread.
You don't fly away because I ask you to stay.
So I lie awake in my bed. 

Well, you are the comfort I crave.
I need you to darken my day.
I know it's wrong to stay singing your song,
So I lie awake in my bed.

Well, I love to turn off the light
Because I love you best when it's night. 
Though it brings pain, I'd rather it rain.
So I lie awake in my bed.

I make it my goal to leave the wounds wide open. 
I let you fix me up and then I tear out the stitches. 
I make it my goal to leave the wounds wide open. 
I let you fix me up and then I tear out the stitches. 

Well, I listen to silence to feel.
And it kills me, but at least it's real.
And I keep myself here because my depression is dear,
So I lie awake in my bed.
So I lie awake in my bed...

I make it my goal to leave the wounds wide open. 
I let you fix me up and then I tear out the stitches. 
I make it my goal to leave the wounds wide open. 
I let you fix me up and then I tear out the stitches.

Dear

Lyrics:

I’ve walked in places I'm not proud of.
I've run away from you so many times.
And when I run I kick up a cloud of,
Dust that settles before your eyes.

You take a joyful knee to the ground.
Prepare to wash a doubters feet.
And though his unbelief is screaming out,
You choose to love and make him clean.

I'm so tired of running.
I wish I’d let you love me.
I'm too damn caught up in how I fail.
When I return you're still waiting, waiting. 

To wash my feet and 
Tell me I'm clean, call me beautiful, 
That's something I never see.
You're a Love that I won't pass up,
And I doubt you every day,
And somehow, 
Somehow,
Somehow...

You're still pleased with me.
You're still pleased.
You're still pleased with me.
You're still pleased.

You clean the souls of little children,
Some too shocked to say a word.
Your mission is, and has always been,
To love your own til' the very end.

You stare at the feet of a filthy man,
Who left your gold to hold silver in his fist.
But your love that's been since time began,
Was to love a man who betrays you with a kiss.

I'm so tired of running.
I wish I let you love me.
I'm too damn caught up in how I felt.
When I return you're still waiting, waiting. 

To wash my feet and 
Tell me I'm clean, call me beautiful, 
That's something I never see.
You're a Love that I won't pass up,
And I doubt you every day,
And somehow, 
Somehow,
Somehow...

You're still pleased with me.
You're still pleased.
You're still pleased with me.
You're still pleased.

Lyrics:

Tried to write you today,
But I just ate my words.
I thought you bought me a place,
But it feels like I'm not part of the herd.

Closing my eyes to see, 
Guess I just take the bait,
While I adorn the tree,
With a dark robe and give it a face.

And yeah, I feel so numb.
Why don't you move my heart?
And yeah, I feel so numb.
Give me a kickstart. 

Got my heart on a string,
But I don't feel it tug.
I count the fish in the sea, 
And deny you in the clouds above.

Yeah, I hear you weeping,
Beg me to heed it,
Sing, “stop trying.”
Receive true healing
The dove flood in
Be a walking nest
Please don't let go, don't let go now...

I read your letter today.
I finally felt your words.
How at every low,
It was clear I never left your herd.

I'm so damn loved
I move your heart.
I'm so damn loved,
Gave me a kickstart.

I'm so damn loved,
Then you gave me a kickstart.
I'm so damn loved,
Then you gave me a kickstart.
