Eyes Shut

This is my first every attempt at going through the whole process of writing/recording/producing music. I wrote the five years ago. A fast-paced slightly melancholy but absurdly enthusiastic rock song about me burying my pet turtle after she died.

LYRICS:
I lift you up
I hold you down
I paint your flowers blue
Everything I ever do
Is 'cause I love you

And when you die
I'll bury you
Under my favorite tree
Everywhere you'll ever be
All you'll see is me

You will never see the sun
No, you will never see the sun

I'm like that guy 
Who sailed the Beagle
I got seasick every step
So I wrote from every island
In the journal that I kept

You will never see the sun
No, you will never see the sun

When you rebel
Or when you cry
You'll reside in 101
Our Father, thy will be done
You will never see the sun

You Will Never See The Sun

My second try at making music. A spacious jazz/math-rock song about an out of body experience after a car crash.

LYRICS:
I stepped out the car to see myself
At the intercross near the parking lot to the DPL

Mountains of bodies all surround
From far away, a siren sounds, but it's sound is drowned

Everything looked so surreal
And by that I mean it's real

I passed by them like a ghost
Saw my body comatose and exposed

I swear I've seen this place before
In a dream, or I'm not sure

God never saw this song coming
But, I don't know, I promised him I'd never sin

I couldn't stay in here for long
There's just something very wrong

The Color Out Of Space

A simple 60s-ish rock song. I experimented a lot with my vocals and I tried writing a harmony vocal part for the first time. I also experimented with writing an organ solo and a guitar solo.

LYRICS:
I'll stare at the flame 'til I see it gets dark.
Or I'll, I'll take a sailor's head and slam it hard.

Brackish waters mix with sand on the shore
While a seagull picks and pulls at my sores.

I erected a lighthouse but no-one followed
And I tried to keep it, but the sea, it swallowed.
I erected a lighthouse (I erected a lighthouse)
I erected a lighthouse (I erected a lighthouse)

A single tree grows on this island
It's a blue spruce secluded by impenetrable highlands

I put it there on a fever run
In case I ever had to crucify my one and only son.

I erected a lighthouse but no-one followed
And I tried to keep it, but the sea, it swallowed.
I erected a lighthouse (I erected a lighthouse)
I erected a lighthouse (I erected a lighthouse)

I erected a lighthouse but no-one followed
And I tried to keep it, but the sea, it swallowed.
I erected a lighthouse (I erected a lighthouse)
I erected a lighthouse (I erected a lighthouse)

I'll stare at the flame 'til I see it gets dark.
I'll stare at the flame 'til I see it gets dark.

A Lighthouse

MY FOURTH SONG!!!

Is it too early for a Christmas song? This is a sad little weird folk/rock song. I'm not even sure what it's about, so interpret it for yourself I suppose. I made the cover art myself! Rock on. There's a mini song at the end by the way.

LYRICS:

You can claw your way out
Make your fingers numb
Nails blunted up

Find me by the river
Carrying a son
I'm not the only one

My friends are deceitful
THE MISTLETOE IS EVIL
My friends are deceitful
THE MISTLETOE IS EVIL

Barking bug like a dog
Chewing through your heart
That's just how it starts

My friends are deceitful
THE MISTLETOE IS EVIL
My friends are deceitful
THE MISTLETOE IS EVIL

Help me, the wood's gone to rot
It's only good to burn
Then it's your turn

My friends are deceitful
The mistletoe is evil
My friends are deceitful
The mistletoe is evil

MINI SONG LYRICS:

I promise you're nothing to me
I promise you're nothing to me
I promise you're nothing to me
I promise you're nothing to me
I'll try to fix it all
But it's so hard
I don't know where to start
And I
I'll try to fix it all
I'll try to fix it all
I promise you're nothing to me
I promise you're nothing to me
I promise you're nothing to me
I promise you're nothing to me

The Mistletoe Is Evil

My fifth song. It's like my first song but if it had improved production and mixing and were different. Very energetic pop/punk/ska (?). Lyrics are complete nonsense.

LYRICS:

It's so hot my skin's melting off
Disintegrating, nonstop

Every public pool is boiling
Singed bodies, fetal coiling

I control everything you see
I can promise you mean nothing to me
I control everything you see
I can promise you mean nothing to me

It's hard to sleep when it's so warm
And, boy, these insects are swarming

I bet I've talked too much about
This unending little drought

I control everything you see
I can promise you mean nothing to me
I control everything you see
I can promise you mean nothing to me

The dust, it setlles all the time
You're making me feel like an angel
And he's a pathetic little creep
Licking his fingers 'til they bleed
Astaroth-Astarte cried
When she crawled inside of his mind
You're making me feel like an angel
You're making me feel like an angel

I control everything you see
I can promise you mean nothing to me

You're Making Me Feel Like An Angel

I wrote this song for a friend. It ended up being more scary and haunting than I had planned but it sounds cool. I used some cool experimental recording techniques.

LYRICS:

I swear there's something in the walls
That'll make the end make sense after all.

Everything is alive,
Isn't it terrifying?

It's an endlessly sinking weight,
A destructive and faceless
Misplacement of your will.

Oh my God, are you still proud
Of the things you left behind when you went underground?

I see heavens upon heavens above
Oh, I have a vision of a flaming dove

A Lighthouse
