Lyrics: ©TheNude 2016. 

Her 

dont do love songs
i never did
now I find myself reminded
why I never will

Spring was beautiful
summer bliss
All is fair in love and war

scars shouldn’t look like this

young
few and far between
constantly averting how it felt with you and me
and I’m left at night
trying to piece
fragments of my shattered self to make myself believe

so I tell myself
all these lies
in the hope that I am proven right
helps me make sense of all these 
crazy times

please show me what it means to feel alive…..


young
few and far between
constantly averting how it felt with you and me
and I’m left at night
trying to piece
fragments of my shattered self to make myself believe

please show me what it means to feel alive…..

Nose to the Grindstone ©The Nude 2016

I am angry at the things that never were
all I’ve done does not compare and its a curse

to see them cast aside
the things that I hold dear

the things that filled the void
they slow turned to fears

and as I stare at the abyss so terrified
never would I expect to have anyone by my side

Nose to the Grindstone

Give me a reason 
to fight my inner will

give me the eyes to see secrets 
as time itself stands still

and when its cold and dark
the fires in me wane

Help me get through the day

So here we go 
Against the wall
The bricks are at my feet
1000 ways to turn around 
But none of them for me
And if I should stumble dont you worry about me 
1000 ways to turn around
But I will never cede

Lyrics: ©The Nude 2016


Till the Wind Stops Blowing


I am a man
Of simple needs
Have my own devices darling 
I do as I please

Don’t have time
For indecision
At this point my mind is made up and of great volition. 

One Says
Keep going 

Don’t like pills
Don’t tell me how to live
Dont you try to tell me that my mind is an abyss

One Says
Keep Going 
Another Chimes in 
Stop Running

I’m going far…

So I wander far at night
To keep the demons far at bay
If you should ever lose your mind
Come find me wandering away.

I don’t mind
The stares
The Glances
Try so hard, not to wonder 
How things should have happend

Care to ask, the 1000 ways I feel
Broke and tired 
Bills to pay, I do not beg or steal



One Says
Keep Going 
Another Chimes in 
Stop Running

I’m going far…

So I wander far at night
To keep the demons far at bay
If you should ever lose your mind
Come find me wandering away.

Victim’s Plight ©The Nude 2016

Since what was done
Life has never been the same
Been looking left and right and nothing seems to place
So I lay here victimized
Hands over sorrowed eyes
All makes me wonder what is time
What is time
What is time

So you face the world
Right here
Right now
In this wicked town

There sure is no sense in losing
I suggest you stand ground 

But when the morning rises 
Nothing has gone away 
Empty words and stale promises
"With time this all will change"

You see it's every where it doesn't fade
Protruding from the chest and nothing seems to numb the pain
And then they say that you have the jaded eyes
What the fuck's your problem?

The dust settles
It starts to calm
Then I question if I ever want to feel at all
But I can keep on keeping on if you can keep on keeping on

I don't know how I don't know why
But I like it 

I don't know how
But I like it
I don't know why
But I can
