roughdemo

These old bones, broken battered and bruised
Torn apart, which side will you choose
Steadfast hold to the silence so dear
The darkness sings "what do you fear?"

Auctioned your soul to go out on parole 
These lonely souls,too scared to let go 
This flask of oil poured on dry thirsty ground 
Those bleeding hearts did not make a sound 

When you're done 
Losing faith in hope 
Wishing I could do more than this 
Too scared to let go

Oh 
We're sailing on a ship to the isles of our soul
Oh 
We've nothing left to lose to this world of unknown 
Oh
Forgive this wounded heart to these shores I must go 
To These shores I must go

Break my back for what I have to offer
Even when I don't know the answer 
Branches of hope buried deep in the Spring
Glowing warmly, sweet songs that they sing

When you're done 
Losing faith in hope 
Wishing I could do more than this 
Too scared to let go

Oh 
We're sailing on a ship to the isles of our soul
Oh 
We've nothing left to lose to this world of unknown 
Oh
Forgive this wounded heart to these shores I must go 
To These shores I must go

Californian Dream

save for a wishing well 
trying to hold whats mine 
left on a carousel 
just  stuck in time 

you don't travel well 
so do I 
time apart we fell
i’m bleeding dry 


i don't mind the pain 
it's the hope that kills me 
i dont mind the rain 
its the storm that brings me down 



now you, 
you can try to breathe 

now you, 
i wont hold you down 
dont hold yourself down for me 


couldnt even love myself  
you know i’ve tried 
its always something else
i’m awake, but tired

i don't mind the pain 
it's the hope that kills me 
we dont feel the same 
we make up the word’s it’ll come around

sadshit pt1

Sad2

why do we want the things that make us bleed 
you dont realise how much
how much it bothers me 
that i broke you 
dont wanna lose you 

all i know is 
youre not happy
and thats a fact 
now just tread lightly 
i’ll bring us back

dont put your happiness in my hands 
try to turn your back to what i am 
dont believe when i say that 
we'll figure it out 
trn it around 
i know im not enough to make you see 
lines drawn who we are, what it should be 
dont believe when i say that 
we’l figure it out 
turn it around   

You bite your tongue 
split your lip
but your heart’s still a prisoner to your ribs 
tryna hold on to 
the you that i knew


end thing: 
we did this 
we broke us
i took your piece
and not your love

happy?

forest vibes

i dont wanna be the one to say that i need you 
i dont wanna let you see me cry    
i might never be the one that you choose 
waiting on a feeling or a high


Every other night i ask for you to tell me all the reasons (that) you think why we’ll ever be enough 
you were always one to make the rules 
never thought you’d play me for a fool


i dont know what i need 
i know youre too good for me 

i dont ever wanna hear you say 
that we gave in more than halfway
that we shoulda had it both ways 
never thought i’d have to hear you say 

that youre not right 
(that youre not right)
that youre not right 
for me 

you say its right 
(you say youre right) 
you say you're right 
for me

right

FAREWELL


Welcome to the era of decadence and shame 
We've been left behind
Welcome to the place of the sinners and the saints
We've all lost our minds

Ooohhhhhhhzxczxvczsgsxcvahsdgvkbfsvscs

I'm on my own
Just a cage 
Where we were born
I'm on my own
With a cane
And a rusty throne

Farewell to the poets and the ones we called friends
They've been left behind 
Farewell to the soldiers, and the ones who used to stand
They've all lost their minds

Ooohhhhhhhzxczxvczsgsxcvahsdgvkbfsvscs

I'm on my own
Just a cage 
Where we were born
I'm on my own
With a cane
And a rusty throne

Everyone cries foul 
Turning heads once in awhile
Here's to our sad song

all my stuff sounds the same
Cover of Flume - Bon Iver

Flume Cover

Tell me where you stand

steady those frail hands

however close youve been

just be as you wish to seem

make it how life wants

you wont always get a chance

you’ve got a penthouse view of the forest fire

so tell me what you need

tonight

v2

Why do i break at the seams

can you tell me what this means

just make pretend

dont tell me i’m in love

so what if you dont make it

so what if you never find

just show me how you did it

how to turn out the light

Chorus 1:

well i’m just talking to a stranger

saying things that i dont mean

the dark inside is taking over

the dark that drowns my earnest plea

v3 

Try to feel your way through the dark

but you dont know where to start

you’ve got to hold on to

the things you are

cuz hope is just a dream

tonight

Chorus 2:

well i’m just talking to a stranger

saying things that i dont mean

well i’m just waiting till its over

i’m just waiting here for me



Final Year POD 1

POD 1 - Tell Me

Lyrics.
They say love is a battle
A solitary road 
Of kings and queens and beggars
You dont get to choose your role

When you start to feel needy
When you start to feel scared
Think through their plans
While you're hopelessly unaware 

Oh but you crawl
Back into his arms again
And thats when you fall
But through it all 
You still bend

Freefall into the insanity
Of my imagination
Oh this infatuation,
This curse i choose to bear

The cynic in me thought likely
The romantic begged to differ
I held on to it so tightly
The love that was spared

Oh but you crawl
Back into his arms again
And thats when you fall
But through it all 
You still bend
