Lyrics:
V1: Here I am 
Shaking
Puking
Waiting for a sign

No light
In here
Full of fear
What's inside my head

C: If I showed you the dark side of the moon
Would you still walk down this road
With all my warts and bruises
Truly a sight to behold
Our lips collide and freeze
No amount of time can melt
It's funny how the only person
You can't love is yourself

V2: There I go
Dreaming
Scheming
Harmless thoughts

Two in the morning
Frustrated
Isolated
Harmful thoughts

Chorus

Verse 1&2

Harmful Thoughts Demo

Lyrics:

V1: If I told you, "You could be an astronaut" 
Would you laugh and chalk it up to another crazy talk
But it's not silly to create who we are
Reality and dreams aren't so far
As you may think

PC: So come and take a ride with me

C: In my dreams
I'm king of a horse drawn castle
Speaking tongues and singing lulabys
Rainbow leaves
Dance in a celebration of life
For the summertime
Mother Nature loves herself
Father Time agrees
So come with me in a bubble made for two
To be my queen
In my dreams

V2: Golden Honey(I said rabbits in the recording) and sunshine
Take my hand, we'll climb this fruitful grapevine
No need to kick and scream
When the hills are made of your favorite ice cream

PC

C

Bridge: In my dreams we're together
Never let never, never let go

Double Chorus

In My Dreams Demo

V1: Body shaking from all these sleepless nights
Try to put my head down
Brain is frying from all these lifeless days
Try to pick my head up
C: Is this the way it's supposed to be
All this trouble between you and me
Our dream is making me blue
Are we just a drag come true
V2: Going through motions of black and white
Everything a shade of gray
No orange, no yellow, no green, purple or red
Everything a shade of blue
Bridge: Lollipops and gumdrops
Rainbows of silver and gold
Cotton candy as far as the eye can see
Living in the city
Of candy coated dreams
No need to fight, no need to bleed
Natives fill your cup
With hard shaped marshmallows
A toast to the happy couple
Come stay for awhile
There's no time here
Don't let life burst your bubble

I choose this photo because it looks like I had a little too many flying colors! Boob cat.
Dr. Showman's Magic Colors
V1: Susie goes out and buys a canvas
Proclaims its perfect from the start
Frame it up and hug the wall
She's the only work of art
But the painting has left Susie puzzled
as to why she's unsatisfied
Maybe I'll add some color
Try what others try
C: Dr. Showman's magic colors
Dr. Showman's magic colors
V2: Red for all the hearts desires
Blue for tranquility
Green to expand the mine
Yellow to brighten me
Opening doors to old new worlds
Left her mind 'Coo Coo'
But the picture hangs without color
What is Susie to do
B: Tune in to hear me
Live out all your fantasies
See but can't touch me
Are you certain what's not a dream?
V3: Brown can't jell with orange
Black won't even talk to white
The important lesson she learned is
Every color fights
So Susie goes out and buys a canvas
Proclaims it's perfect from the start
Frame it up and hug the wall
She's the only work of art

Wrote this today(Tuesday, October 22nd) outside. Nice to enjoy one of the last autumn days with sun.
Photo is of my older siblings when my sister graduated college.
Lyrics:
V1: Leaves never worry about finding their color
They just simply do
Knowing we will all fall by the wayside
Come back in a season or two

If it makes sense up there

V2: Budding flowers gobble up dinner of sunlight
Grow up big and tall like dad
Nothing to block your path when you have no roots
But I'm me and for that I'm glad

PC: If it all makes sense up there
You've been given a gift, no need to fear
Spread the word

Chorus: Let your light shine through you
Bright as day
Let your love shine through you
Make this a better place

V3: Nobody said being a tadpole was easy
Learning to swim your own way
It's not growing legs that's important but
Learning to say it'll be okay

A song I wrote, still having trouble with the verse! Such is life
Lyrics:
I hate it when we fight
Can't help making you cry tonight
Nothing is coming out right
So lets shut out the light

Take it all in stride(X3)

Television blinking away
Insomnia feels okay
Ran out of things to say
So you're packing up today

Take it all in stride!(X3)

If you love someone, let them go
Time makes leaving so painful

Thank you for visiting! My name is Ryan Strumpfler, and I am a Jazz Guitar major at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. In my bands  I play a mix of rock, jazz, metal, and blues guitar.  In this spare time I decided to take a stab a writing my own set of words and singing.  Taking cues from creative lyricists like John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Serg Tankian, the goal is to write words that stand up as poetry. These demos are just for fun, self-expression and growth. So thank you once again for checking this page out, and if you like it please like the tracks. Have a great day!
