Only You (demo)

I won't sugar coat it this time
I've got it bad and I know it
Just keep in mind I'm smiling
But inside I'm screaming
No one hears a sound
If you've never flown this high you'd never know
But it's like fire in your veins
There's nothing you can do to stop it
You just do your best to endure the pain
Oh god 
Here we go again

Mom and dad don't fret
About your son this time
I'll be fine on my own
Just keep checking in and I'll do my best
To return your calls
I can't tell you how much your love
Kept me alive and dreaming
So many times I've wanted to give up 
But your love kept me believing 
I'd make it out one day

I'm not looking for your pity
Sometimes it's nice to let it out
On the contrary
I'd prefer you hate me
Maybe you'd avoid this path
'Cause it's wrought with storm clouds 
And very little light
It's hard to find your way home
I'm crawling now but soon I'll be
Up on my own two feet and running
Where the wind blows

The Mask And The Mirror

Will this be another story untold?
Hits home for a few but mostly unknown?
The moments that slip by, never get 'em back
A divet in time, then it all fades to black

Dad, I know it's not been easy
Having a son that's tweaked like me
I never held a crown and the halo broke
The storm is brewing now and soon I'll have to

Go where the rivers run
Blotting out the sun
I fear this world no longer favors me
I gotta run 

I'm asking myself, it seems, every day
When did your warm light begin to fade
Vaguely I recall a smile on these lips
'Fore the spirit boarded this sinking ship

Happy birthday, new year, Easter and spring
Roll 'em into one, get 'em out of the way
The storm is clearing out, enter center stage
The rolling fire comes to burn every

Page of this fairy tale
Whose spine could be so frail
The words are bleeding and pen's run dry
I gotta fly
