always caught eventually

lyrics:

Say the word
And you can make it all real
And I know
Exactly how you don’t feel
It’s a script
You wrote it for your own play
So I know it 
Doesn’t matter what I say

Say what they want 
Exactly like they taught you
Make it go away
Do like they want 
Then follow when they flaunt you
If you want to stay
If you want to stay

I don’t want to play this game
Even if I could
You can just forget my name
Yeah, I think you should

There's a fire
Looking for a new match
An agreement 
Looking for a old catch
And a gift horse
Knocking on a new gate
Then a old voice 
calling her an ingrate

Smile is bright
You make sure all your teeth show
Hold it till the flash
Out like a light
Then basking in a new glow
Pay it out in cash
Pay it out in cash

I don’t want to play this game
Even if I could
You can all forget my name
And I think you should

This is not enough for me
Who can explain
Take what you like from me
I will remain
I will remain

In a fever dream
When it all broke down
Will they wash you clean 
When they put you down

Did they take it all
For a broken crown
When they watch you fall
To the quiet ground

On a tape 
Too far back to rewind now
There's an answer 
They discover somehow
What was said
That no one can uncover
Was she led 
Astray to serve another

Well they won
The wound will never heal now
Just let it go
What was done 
The truth will find you somehow
You never know
You never know

I don’t want to play this game
Even if I could
You can just forget my name
Yeah I think you should 

This is not enough for me
Who can explain
Take what you like from me 
I will remain
I will remain
I will remain

(who is the big bad wolf afraid of?)

Forget My Name

lyrics:

Does it matter how we got here
Can we stay the way we are
You've yet to see the best of me
We never get that far

I met you in the dim light
You chose to walk this way
But I didn't make you stand by me
You own the games you play

But I cannot be your shepherd
And I will not be your sheep
And the good Lord bid me drink whatever
Lays me down to sleep

So I bound you with my whispered words
But stumbled in your eyes
As arrogant and innocent
We want what we despise

Your breathe is on my shoulder
And your hand is on my thigh
You say you don't remember her
And I'm the reason why

But I cannot be your shepherd
And I will not be your sheep
But the good Lord bid me drink whatever
Lays me down to sleep

We were caught in a moment
We were waiting out the tide
In salty sweat and gathered breath
There's nowhere left to hide

You were crying out your secrets
 I was crying out your name
Does really even matter now
I'm still the one you blame

But I cannot be your shepherd
And I will not be your sheep
But that Judas goat that caught the rope
It's keeping me from sleep

Well, the price is high for anger
As we pelt our stones at fault
Side by side, alike in shame
We are turning into salt

Arrogant and blinded
You stare blankly at the wall
Your skin is bare, I cut your hair
You stand to watch me fall

I cannot be your shepherd
And I will not be your sheep
But the Judas goat that caught the rope
Is keeping me from sleep

So you act like you don't know me now
Some coward wears your name
But you have brought the pillars down
And I will bear the shame

Does it matter how we got here
Is this really all we are
You'll never see the best of me
We will not get the far

I cannot be your shepherd
And I will not be your sheep
And the good Lord bid me drink whatever
Lays me down to sleep

But I cannot be your  shepherd
And you chose to play the sheep
And the good Lord bid me drink whatever
Lays me down to sleep

Shepherd

Lyrics:
In the shadows I’ve been thinking of you
In the morning it’s light
In darkness anything could be true
And I don’t wanna fight

I've been staying up late this week
And I don't wanna say
In these hour's I've found nothing I seek
So I sleep it away

For as long as I dream
I can have you with me 
Things are not what they seem
Love has never been free...

And I got people I don’t like em' that much
They don’t care for me too
 I got problems that I don’t wanna touch
Think I know what to do

Things you lose and you can never get back 
Come to you in a dream
A bitter ruse and you were in on the act
I think you know what I mean

It's a long way home...
When we're walking alone 
Heart as heavy as a stone
On the nights we're alone

Oh I loved you for the thing that you were
And then I let you go
See you living in that life you prefer
And I don't wanna know

I'll be dreaming I'll be dreaming, of you
There is a meaning, a little meaning
What to do

For as long as I dream
I can have you with me 
Things are not what they seem
love has never been free

Love is on quarantine
Walls are all I can see
But as long as I dream
I can have you with me

NOTE:
I was kind of sick when I recorded this but I probably won't re-record it because it would take away from the authenticity or I'm lazy.

Thinking of You

lyrics:
there's a drought in the desert
nothing left to burn 
while you're out there 
waiting for your luck to turn 

got a pocket full of quarters 
gonna pay to play
they all like you better 
cause you never stay

wait wait
 till we stop spinning
count it on winning, here

in the heat, a mirage 
covers up the sky
and you fall to your knees
and you don't know why

wait for the fire
make me a liar
make me a liar, here

and there's apple pie
on the 4th of July
down to the desert where they made you lie
toxic elastic wrap your face in plastic 

out on road 
huffing dust and fumes
lost in your head cause 
there's too much room

in the hollow refrain 
of a bitter bet
can't explain 
and you won't forget

and you take take 
what they owe you
ask if they know you, here

down to the water 
that you never drink
stare in the sun 
till it makes you blink

breathe under water
 just like you taught her

who'd you find in California
were they everything you needed 
did they smile like they want you
do you wait until they bleed
yeah, who'd you find in California
was she everything you need
does it matter if they want you 
do you like it when they bleed

and there's apple pie
on the 4th of July
down to the desert where they made you lie
toxic elastic wrap your face in plastic 

so you get what you want 
is it what you need
they will follow you 
down any way you lead

in a circle and back again
what you've done and will not defend

where will they find you  
how they try to remind you
how they remind you here

all out of matches 
got a bridge to burn
beg for another 
cause you never learn

wait for the fire
make me a liar
make me a liar here
all wait...

apple pie fourth of July 
down to the desert where they made you lie
you are toxic elastic wrap your face in 
plastic...

wait for the fire
make me liar
make me a liar, here

and there's apple pie fourth of July 
down to the desert where they made you lie

you are toxic elastic wrap your face in 
plastic 
shave it off, sell it out

fade away
