Description: This is a musical sketch for a song in progress. I hope you enjoy this sneak peak into an aspect of the creative process! I started with some guitar chords, hummed a melody, built a loop, improvised guitar ornamentation and then wrote a bridge section for contrast. The recordings are raw and I'll need to rehearse the parts after the writing is complete.

FEB 12 Sketch/Free-Write

My eyes are on fire
They’re burning for her
Well I’m feeling the heat from her every word
cold is still bitting
it bites like a lion
I’ll just take it and tell her I’m alright

thirst is never ending
And I sip for a breath
The high that leaves you angry
And rolling down with death 


Over and over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over, over again
I’m falling

Lying here scratching at nightmare
I’m selling my dreams
I'm never upset for the reason it might seem

I'm trading my visions
My sorries won't track
I'm trying, I’m trying and buying all my dreams back

Over and over and over and over, over again
Over and over and over and over, over again
I’m falling

her eyes are on fire
they’re filled with desire
I’m burning red
can’t seem to get her out my head

her eyes are on fire
they’re filled with desire
She’s breaking my heart
and I can’t seem to piece it back again
 
Over and over and over and over, over again
Over and over and over and over, over again
I’m falling

Lyrics:

Voices never filter out
Background noises get too loud
I can’t turn the volume down

Frequencies start resonating
Sounds so overstimulating
Sweet symphony from hell so

I wear a mask
I’m caught in the act
I play a role 
to keep you comfortable

I’m forced to be in society 
that wasn’t made for me
About to collapse
I’m stuck in this trap

Caught in the act
Caught in the act 

I get dizzy making rounds
Spinning head on shaky grounds
I get nauseous in crowds

Conversations I avoid 
When I can’t come up with words
cuz my tongue ties me down so

I wear a mask
I’m caught in the act
I play a role to keep you comfortable

I spend energy in society 
that won’t pay off for me
It sets me back
I’m stuck in this trap

Caught in the act
Caught in the act
Caught in the act

Practice my monologue
Make sure my face is not 
putting my thoughts on display

Fake it or get kicked off
ever since Shakespeare wrote
all the worlds a stage

If i take off my mask
I’m caught in the act
My cover is blown
I’m naked and exposed

Struggle to be in society 
that doesn’t fight for me
Try to push back
but i’m stuck in this trap

caught in the act

They see your light 
And try to smother it
They hear your song 
They want to kill it

They look at you
They keep on wondering how
You’re still reaching for those heights
They’ve always dreamt of
But they’re not climbing
They dare not try 

You’ve got this
Don’t blink for too long
Look forward
You are so close
You’ve got this
You’re almost there, 
Just trust it
Don’t you let go

I know you’re scared
You’re not alone
Thirsty for your pain
It’s driving them insane that you’re trying
Eager to reign
They want to rule over your body

Are you in chains
No more restraints
Just run over anybody
Who stands in your way

Starlight

I walk these streets alone
The houses look so very small
Your shadow follows me around
I walk these streets alone 

My mind is always haunted 
My thoughts, they never die
They won’t quiet down
They keep on fighting inside my mind

It’s cruel and it’s unkind
The way you make me feel
I’m never gonna be
The same again 

You’ve treated me so well

I’ve tried pretending they’re not there
These thoughts they’re trying not to stare at you
But that is all they do
Tried pretending they’re not there
You gaze into my eyes
Nothing works, it never dies

Clutter

I see your world
The pain and cold
I see your way
Still chose to stay

You were born
With a heart of stone

Heart of stone (x3)
You were born

You walk the night
From side to side
You choose to hide
From this fight

You walk the night
From side to side
You choose to hide
From this fight

You were born
With a heart of stone

You were born
With a heart of stone

You were born
With a heart of stone

I see your world
The pain and cold
I see your way
Still chose to stay

I see your world
The pain and cold
I see your way
Still chose to stay

You were born
With a heart of stone

I see you world

Bridges

In the swirling abyss of scattered thoughts
Where the line between sense and nonsense is lost
Each heartbeat echoes a twisted refrain

Lost in the void, can't you perceive
The realm of illusions designed to deceive
Break from the chains 
Embrace the anarchy, set your spirit free

Our Shadows dance in a fevered trance
We are canvas painted with cosmic chance
Colors bleed and meanings dissolve


Lost in the void, can't you perceive
The realm of illusions designed to deceive
Break from the chains 
Embrace the anarchy, set your spirit free


Amidst the chaos, we find our voice
Against all odds, we make our choice
Despite this madness, we'll weather the storm

Lost in the void, can't you perceive
The realm of illusions designed to deceive
Break from the chains 
Embrace the anarchy, set your spirit free

Exposure (ft. Goat Screaming)

Can't Help It Guitar Take 3

That’s how we know, hard not to show
The inner things we share
Whisper my name, I touch your face
Your eyes can see my pain

You smell of songs, they sing of love
Softest skin, it speaks of wounds within

At night you pray, beg me to stay
Your faith so pure in us 
Stay or run
Linger or shun me

Either way the wind will sing your name
You hurt my eyes, your beauty cuts through lies
Either way the wind will sing your name
You hurt my eyes, your beauty cuts through lies


Faith so pure, at night you pray
Beg me to stay
Evermore
Your faith so pure
At night you pray, beg me to stay

Beg me to stay
Beg me to stay
Beg me to stay
Beg me to stay
Evermore
