Tears For The Wicked

A collection of songs I have written and put forward for a university module

Goosebumps

You Don't Know Me (feat. Megan Clemens)

You Need Help; Have Some Coffee

Write Me In A Book

An idea, not finished
Hunting Season

Verse
Whisper sweetly that I tend to drive you crazy
Your pulse suggests you haven't loved anybody lately 

Pre Chorus 1
But are you good at stripping skeptics of their doubt?
Pretend that I'm the one you cannot live without 

Chorus
Even though
I've woken on the side of reason-
I have to know
Am I the first kill of hunting season?
Truth be told 
I'll stop my heart before you get the chance
I'll stop my heart before you get the chance 

Verse 2
Fingers trace the shape of your favourite constellation
You do your  best to try and break my concentration
Reduce my state to one without a need for thinking 
No need to question any poison I've been drinking 

Pre-Chorus 2
If I could I would pretend that you're still there
Ignoring any love that lingers in your stare

Explanation 
This song is about the discomfort felt in believing that someone is only with you for the sake of sport ‘another one for the books’ but not because they feel a genuine connection there. I use the metaphor ‘Hunting Season’ as referring to oneself as a ‘trophy buck’ or something similar, but I’d sooner kill myself than let someone else take a killshot.

Hunting Season (acoustic Demo) V 2

A soft duet to relax to.

Lyrics - 

Verse 1
My training wheels are broken
I’m not stable, not ready 
Whenever I get nervous I giggle -
 So you don’t get nervous...
You like that i like lego-
And building, but I break things 

Pre-chorus
And smiling is something you’re good at 
It makes me feel ok

Chorus 
You don’t know me that’s apparent
You seem delusioned but I kind of like it
You don’t know me that's apparent 
You seem delusioned but I kinda like it

Verse 2
I don’t think I’m that pretty 
I’m normal, but you’re special
You’re curious and patient
You make things seem different 
And you don’t feel good 
So you try to make me feel good

 Pre-chorus
And smiling is something you’re good at 
It makes me feel ok

Chorus 
You don’t know me that’s apparent
You seem delusioned but I kind of like it
You don’t know me that's apparent 
You seem delusioned but I kinda like it
