THE MATINEE

Almost a quarter to 3 now
Push through the crowd so I can sit down  
Sit back, relax, and try to ignore the blocked view from the gent in a top hat
Can’t deny, can’t deny, she is one of a kind
She denies other guys, only eyes for me
Dunno why, guess I’m one lucky guy 
Butterflies when I see her on the marquee
 
CHORUS 
I hope you can see me, 
I’ll be front row center, do you need reminding, do ya?
You gimme an energy, so I won’t miss a single debut
I hope you can see me, 
I’ll be font row center baby, front row center baby
Do you need reminding?
She’s the melody, she’s the melody

5 star matinée/ who else can claim
Only error in her ways is the addictive gaze
She delivers for the pictures as a future Oscar winner
Eatin’ dinner with beginners who all dream they could be her
Take a bow take a bow, looking over the crowd
In my life, never found a stage like this
Take a bow, take a bow, take it in, all the sound
Of a crowd getting wild, and it’s contagious

CHORUS

Open the front door, back home
Only got a little time alone
Baby, I’ll admit, your fame
Got me thinking no one even knows my name
Recognize your face
Strangers stop to say
You’re the girl on stage
Is this your disposable date?

CHORUS 

Over the top, I overreact
I’m lucky in love, there’s nothing better than that
She belongs on the stage and I’ll be cheering her on everyday up on Broadway


The Matinee

GET USED TO IT

For one sec, give it a rest
Are you even hearing what you said
I thought that I had made it clear
To keep her away from here
I’ll admit, there was a time
When that girl, was all mine

CHORUS
Getting used to my days without you
And ya might be on my mind
I’ll be honest from time to time
Getting used to a permanent state of confused
Take a deep breath, inhale
I promise that there’s a bright side of failure too 

Well one day, unavoidably
You finally face reality
Go waste time, go on obsess
Of that girl, that girl undressed

CHORUS

One shot, all I got
Take a walk, down the block 
Hope I see her there blowing hair in the breezy day 
What do I, gotta say to get that girl to be a little risqué 
Well, I think maybe I’ll try to be a a little impromptu
Maybe I can break a few rules
Do you hear that sound? 
It’s all TABU


Get Used To It

DON’T ASK WHY

We better settle down ‘cause if I am hearing you right
We got a lot of things to do
I say we turn it around
Why don’t we take it step by step and together we can make it though
Thought I’d wait a few years, but it’s becoming so clear that
It’s gotta be sooner
Thought I could avoid the fear of becoming older
An early bird bloomer

CHORUS:
Don’t ask why
You already know
Rolling in the dark, 
We’re hittin all the marks that point us in the wrong direction, 
But ignored
Don’t ask why
You already know
If we had only listened!
This position isn’t what we wanted now

We gotta check our stride
The minute we stroll too fast from the past it’s all over
Keeping check on my pride
Too often I hesitate to look over my shoulder
Thought I’d wait a few years to finally admit the things I been missing
Thought I’d avoid the fear of becoming older 
Without ever kissing you

This isn’t what we wanted now…

CHORUS

Don’t waste the rest of journey ahead
I bet it isn’t exactly what you visioned
But on second thought, well, it ain’t that bad
One taste of making all the same mistakes
But in the end, at least ya got a friend
Nothing you can say will knock me back

What can i say or do to help you see the other side
Where grass is green, I haven’t seen but I just know inside 


Don't Ask Why

THINK BACK

Yeah I’m a stranger
I know that we just met
And judging by the look
You’re getting less impressed
Let me make a quick rebuttal
Do you remember? 
Think back to the way things used to be
Back in the day everything was so carefree
I never knew that you would be a part of my dreams
Who ever knew that you’d be in my reality

Bet there’s been stranger things 
Yeah I suppose
Maybe I can change your mind
Without the clothes
I say let’s get out of here
I know a better place
Where we can do whatever makes your eyes roll back into space
Burrow deeper, shake off the feeling that its wrong
If I could keep her one second, I bet she’d play along 
See right through the lines
Desperate measures, desperate times
On the contrary baby, i see only sublime
So can I make you all mine?
I’ve waited all this time

Without an answer, without a seconds rest
She’s inching pretty close, and there’s “sinful” in her breath
Something makes me want her closer
Makes me want her closer
Take me back to any other world
Break convention on fate, 
You’d rather be my girl
I never knew that you would
Still be waiting for me
Who ever knew that you’d be in my reality?


Think Back

Lyrics:
why can’t it be the way that i envision it
why can’t i stop romanticizing me and you
and last fall, when our love took a curtain call
seems your legs dock into any random port of call
no, no, no
i gotta get this girl out of my mind
so, please, go

Chorus:
there goes my pride
right out the window
there goes my pride
reap what you sew

Thinking overtime about the way that I upset ya 
I think I'm blind from strainin’ my view off of you girl
But Keep your focus, after all 
You Don't need a rise to precede a fall

So say hello to to the people that we used ta know
doubt our hellos are anything but sincere though 
Nah, no, I'm not the same bro
that ya know, mean knew, 
on the stretch of westland avenue

Curtain Call (DEMO)

Just say it again 
Does it offend you 
To make it all worse 
Did ya see the glaring "m"
What the hells an FPS?
Who knew that people could blow up that way?
What happened to outdoors and playin pick-up games 

CHORUS:
Can I start my own file 
Can I make my own tag?
Can I influence my mind with all my peers, bring sleeping bags! 

the way their heads are like a sponge
they’d rather skip their lunch
and I don’t hold a grudge
but i hate those
tv-game machines
all wired up,
missing sun for what?
gamer rate woe 

Influentially
i guess we gotta tread carefully
gotta disagree to disagree
i got a rated-m side of me

File Start (DEMO)

combine, a girl looking fine, 
with me and that equals one hell of a night
entwineD, send chillS up her spine, 
I know what you’re thinking, taboo redefined
thats fine- thats good
more noyze- understood
I got more ideas from facing up to all my fears

CHORUS: 
bean town at night
College delight
All inhibitions up and take flight
Spend all day just waiting for a t and  
Spend 5 years for an undergrad degree sham
look up at the pru off in the distance
hustling inside and not doubt its all business

let loose, don’t mean to exclude, 
the clothes i think she likes bein rude
but the view, she got attitude
i guess that behavior of hers is old news
ya snooze-ya lose
and fight- and bruise
but fight- and you're a winner
and you barely got even a splinter

take flight, take flight...

Take Flight (DEMO)

ON HOLD
Lyrics:

forego the simple things
trade-off for inability
get high

can you put everything on hold
what time is it
resume your life when i get over it
can you put everything on hold

forget about trusting yourself
and forget about maintaining health
is that 25 cents too short? 
lemme dig a bit into my
pocket, pocket, pocket, baby I got enough
do i have enough?

one day is a struggle
two days its a need
three days can’t focus
four days i can’t breathe
five days regretting
six days don’t change
one days later one week
Can’t make it eight
Nice to meet ya,
my name is Beet
they say that I’ve got problems
but who’s to say that its that way
medicated


On Hold (DEMO)

THE CRASH
Lyrics:

I gotta get away from part of me
everyone in my vicinity bleeds
gotta get out this runaway vehicle
who’s even driving? i let the wheel go

crash
it happened so fast
the full impact of the crash
all the pieces collapse
“crazed” is the right expression
days- they pass without a care
please- provide me with incentive
please- is there anybody there?     

autopsy; psychoanalysis
a victim of his own cowardice
its a shame, its a bloody damn shame
a man taken down by his very own brain
but I’m consciously faded
stuck in a cycle sedated


The Crash (DEMO)

MY VACCINE
Lyrics:

I shoulda seen it
way back then
Yeah even then I guess the signs were clear
I doubt that we could have been friends
don't think that we could only be friends

and others know what its like
the constant need for a high
consistently falling victim of your own greed
wakin up with the ache 
and all good humor is faked
persistently falling back into a routine
your loves my vaccine

I shouldve stopped myself
way back then
if i had stopped before i lost it all


My Vaccine (DEMO)
