The Days Have Come

Lyrics:

Before We Go

Tell me what you dream alone at night
What you tuck away in the morning light
Do feelings that you try to hide
Scare so much you hold them deep inside

Tell me one more time why you stayed
For a future shrouded in mist and haze
For you and me and our lives
And battles that together we might fight

I want to understand the reasons we’ve grown strong
With passing seasons full of rights and full of wrongs
Life’s ebb and flow deepens how we feel
And day by day tomorrows are revealed

Life’s ebb and flow deepens how we feel
And day by day tomorrows are revealed

Before we go down the road again
The one we walk as each day begins
I want say that you in my life 
Brightens every step towards twilight

I want say that you in my life 
Brightens every step towards twilight



Before We Go

Removed all of the effects. I think I might like this version better. What do you guys think?

Edge Of Desire (a John Mayer cover)

i hear them calling
they're calling out to me
they tell me freedom is here
yeah freedom's finally here

all the while rain is falling
just like notes on a symphony
they tell me not to feel fear
'cause freedom's finally here

'take one bite to take the fall
i'll be right next to you through it all'
with these words i saw
with these words i saw

i once was caged but now i'm free
and i don't really wanna go home
i once was blind but now i see
yeah i don't really wanna go home
i've paid the price, i know the cost
don't preach to me, i know i'm lost
and if my father calls for me
tell him i don't wanna go home

tell me again
what's it like on the other side
are you still living in fear?
aren't we all just human
we turn to dust when we die
sacrifice every year
to please the gods we hold dear

'take one bite to take the fall
we'll be right next to you through it all'
with these words i saw
with these words i saw

i once was caged but now i'm free
and i don't really wanna go home
i once was blind but now i see
yeah i don't really wanna go home
i've paid the price, i know the cost
don't preach to me, i know i'm lost
and if my father calls for me
tell him i don't really wanna go, don't really wanna go home

no i don't wanna go back to where i couldn't run
do you see me now? i've only just begun
i won't stop to lay my head
until i've reached the sun
no i don't wanna go back to where i couldn't run

prodigal's anthem (or 'the gods we hold dear')

Dito Lang

Hindi mapakali
Di makapahinga ang gising na damdamin
Sa lalim ng gabi
Tinig na naririnig, sadyang nagsasabing 

Hindi alam ang gagawin
Sa bukas na darating 
Hanggang kailan mananatiling mag-isa?

Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang
Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang

Ningning ng mga bituin
Liwanag ng gabi, sa buwan nanggagaling
Nais kong magising 
Nang 'di nag-iisa at ikaw ang kapiling

Kapit lang, giliw ko
Nandito lang naman ako
Paggising mo, hindi ka na mag-iisa
Wag mangamba 

Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang
Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang ako

Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang
Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang

Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang
Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang ako

Tulog na giliw ko
(Tulog na giliw ko)
Ako'y, nandito, laging nandito lang...

Dito Lang (Acoustic Version)

JULY 16, 2019 just making this public now for the band lol hope no one notices

She is a girl I met one January noon
Borrowed some books and said that I’d return them soon
When she asked about them I couldn’t find the words to say
I’ve never read a page until this day

Please be careful
You’ll be careful
Won’t you
Do be careful
Don’t you dare fall for words like these

I won’t dare to make a move
No I won’t dare to make a move

She is a girl who’s made of sugar more than spice
And, by some lovely accident, everything nice
She’s wise beyond her years. It’s in her soul, it’s in her name.
She’s clumsy and childlike all the same.

Please be careful
You’ll be careful won’t you
Do be careful
Don’t you dare fall for words like these

I won’t dare to make a move
No I won’t dare to make a move

Keep this story in a bottle
Throw it out into the sea
It could sink under the water
Or find its way to you and me
And by God if it’s the latter
Then maybe then maybe
Just maybe...

She was a poet who was barefoot on stage
Saw her December under starlight and the rain
I am a troubadour, my feet were meant to roam
But when I heard her voice I longed for home

She (draft)

Raven Black, we made a pact to stay 'til the bitter end
Now you want to leave and I don't want you to pretend
To love me
No you don't love me
That's okay I'll be just fine
This was not a waste of time

I'm not asking you to stay
If you're gonna lie straight to my face
Just tell me honestly
If we're not meant to be

Raven Black, we made a pact to stay 'til the bitter end
Now you want to leave and I don't want you to pretend
To love me
No you don't love me
That's okay I'll be just fine
I was yours and you were mine

Stay (draft)

Troubadour (draft)

you took a train heading out to nowhere
thats where you were headed in the first place
new job
new city

you knew the names of people you wouldnt call friends
and you were just another pretty face
in the new job
in the new city

in a station middle of nowhere
thats where i saw you with a suitcase
new life
old city

i missed
your smile
i know
its been a while
old friend
its all right
youre here
dont cry

hey baby
your sorrow
ends here today
youre strong
independent
im here to stay

Your Sorrow
