Dedicated to someone I love.

Lyrics:
The world feels safe
When I’m with you 
You know me
That’s something hard to do

When I lose my way
You can call me right back
You were my guide and the shield I lack

Nothing else could ever feel so true

We are not us
In the way we were
There was no choice
We already hurt

20-some miles is not so far
We felt much further than that of course
No one’s to blame
I’m just kinda sore

I don’t wanna sing any sad songs about you
But every single line that I write means I have to
Everywhere I go it’s there
My brain is full I need some air
Who is gonna love me the way you made me used to

I still love you
Of course that’s true
Just know I won’t stop
Until the world’s not blue

I’ll always love you but
I’ll move on
To give you the freedom and
Space you want

You’re my best friend forever-on

Now I don’t wanna sing any sad songs about you
But every single line that I write means I have to
Everywhere I go it’s there
My brain is full I need some air
Who is gonna love me the way you made me used to

I don’t wanna sing any sad songs about you
But every single line that I write means I have to
Everywhere I go it’s there
It’s been some weeks I’m out of air
Who is gonna love me the way that you had used to

The World Felt Safe

Lyrics:

I showed you me
and I guess you didn’t love what you’d seen
and maybe we could meet in between

But I deserve better
and you deserve better than that

My friends all hate your guts
But I know better

Your voice is like breakfast in bed
and you’re sweeter than honey to me

Almost, so close,
like a piece you could force 
when you’re almost halfway through the puzzle

Hate the mixed signals
This on-again, off-again
Wishing I knew what you want

I showed you me
and maybe you had loved what you’d seen
But maybe’s just a maybe to me

and I deserve better
and we deserve better than that

I Showed You Me (Demo) - Single

I Showed You Me (Demo)

In a triumphant return, Alex Ergas releases his first full single in 4 years. “Get Me Far” is an ode to escape.

Art: Luna Kova
Composition and Performance: Alexander Edward Ergas
Recording: Alex Ergas and Owen Reece
Mixing: Evan Dangerfield
Mastering: Dan Millice

Lyrics:
"Get me far 
From here
From this
For now

I won’t
Won’t cry
Not for you
Not now

Pause this life and story
Quiet nights
My empty street

Watch the sky 
So starry
See my breath
Find my peace

For the first time in years
They didn’t cross
My mind today

I’m thankful for the 
Fears that hold me occupied
The tears that come with 
Passing by that street 

Know I would kill for you
I’m here for you
I’m deep for you 
No doubt 

And right now I’m on my own
But just text me though
Cause I’d drop it all and bounce 
(So you’d feel safe)

What can I afford to do
To not melt into
All these years of stress
When my hands are blue

And colder when I touch you
Than my heart could ever want to
Slip away into the comfort of
The silence and the darkness of my room

Know I would kill for you
I’m here for you
I’m deep for you 
No doubt 

And right now I’m on my own
But just text me though
Cause I’d drop it all and bounce 
So you’d feel safe

(I won’t 
Won’t cry
Not for you
Not for now)"

Get Me Far

Please Don't Be Fake

That pit in your stomach when you think about what could have been. Kind of pretty.

Lyrics:
I’m bitter
I wanted parts of you I’ll never get now
I’m bitter
I had a dream and now I can’t stop thinking

Your head was on my shoulder
Had me pull you closer
Never felt my heart beat quite that slow

My baby shot me like a soldier
Morning feeling older
Shaking at the thought of being with you 
Girl you ruin all my time ya know

You could stare past my eyes
Tell me all lies
Wanted so much more became addicted

Got me to sing
Told me how we’d break up cause we’re a mess and everything

Believed ya
How I’d treat ya
Was a nightmare
(What a nightmare)

Codependency 
Believed you when you said we’d make it work

Moving from a car into the bed 
Into the car and in my head 
It was so pretty what I wanted was just more than you would give me

I should have given up
That June you ruined everything

Your head was on my shoulder
Had me pull you closer
Never felt my heart beat quite that slow

My baby shot me like a soldier
Morning feeling older
Shaking at the thought of being with you 
Girl you ruin all my time you know

Bitter Blonde Dreams

Finally a song for Alex

Lyrics:
I keep lying
Say my songs mean nothing
When in fact they make me cry

I’m so tired
When will I get a break
When will I get to speak my mind

I wake up
Just to think of you 
Or anything 
Besides my food

Is cold
The day’s gone by
While I just sit and
Watch my mind erode

I need a hotel room
With a nice ass view
Or a brand new life
Cause the boy’s been used

I don’t wanna fight about a thing
I don’t wanna talk right now so please
Don’t get mad when I shut up
I wanted you to notice me

I keep lying to myself
and everyone that tries to help me
All I want’s to be alone
But then I whine out and say I’m lonely

Contradictions
Lost my vision
Say that I know what I want and then ditch them

Life’s a game show and I’m losing
Maybe I could use a breath

I need a breath

One for Me

Got h*gh for the first time and wrote this

Lyrics:
Wait a sec
Swear I’ll do better
That’s not enough?
I’ll go again sir

Rip my vocal chords to shreds
And break all my guitar strings
What will Alex have to do to get the things he wants

See, never enough
No it’s never enough
When I pound through the door
And they don’t even hear that I knocked

Nothing is bright
When I walk out my door
There’s a cloud that won’t leave me
Alone anymore

And I stroll through my day
With my clothes soaking wet
And the trail that I leave goes
Unnoticed I sit

With my friends or the closest
I have to that word
And I open my mouth
And no one here’s a word

'Less I’m singing or acting successful
I know they don’t notice my presence
I guess that’s my role
Ain’t it funny?

I can do so so much better
I’m better than this
But I’m bound by an anxious cold hand and I sit
And I shake the bars well but they won’t ever break
Cause I’m mentally ill and that’s not gonna change

Nothing is bright
When I walk out my door
There’s a cloud that won’t leave me
Alone anymore

And I stroll through my day
With my clothes soaking wet
And the trail that I leave goes
Unnoticed I sit

With my friends or the closest
I have to that word
And I open my mouth
And no one here’s a word

'Less I’m singing or acting successful
I know they don’t notice my presence
I guess that’s my role
Ain’t it funny?

I can do so so much better
I’m better than this
But I’m bound by an anxious cold hand and I sit
And I shake the bars well but they won’t ever break
Cause I’m mentally ill and that’s not gonna change

I can do so much better
I can do so so much better than this

Nights Like This

Better Than This

Lyrics:
Of all the ghosts that follow me
Sent packs of wolves to swallow me
I have to say I thought you'd be the last

Sinking even deeper now
My feet are miles beneath the ground
All because I never cared to swim

Separate my heart
From my chest
I can't move I just stress
I can't take what comes next

No one asks me
Or cares what I think (Nobody asks or cares what I think)

Everything's leaving my mouth
And I want it to stop
Been talking a lot
I don't understand why you'd hurt me

I'm scared for the future
Want to live in the past
Why's the good never last?
Why do I have to be so damn greedy?

I need relief
But drugs are too fleeting
I'm bad with addiction
So I'll make this easy

I won't give up
So soon
Here I am in the sky
Let's look at the moon

And see the star I bought for you
It doesn't care about this stress
It's up in space with all my problems

There's still time for my
Problems

Cause we are still young
I wanna be happy
And we are still young
So let's just be happy

As long as we're young
We can always be happy
And we are still young
So let's just be happy

As long as we're young
We can always be happy
And we are still young
So let's just be happy

As long as we're young
We can always be happy
And we are still young
So let's just be happy

As long as we're young
We can always be happy
And we are still young
So let's just be happy

As long as we're young
We can always be happy
And we are still young
So let's just be happy
Like all of the songs

Dressrosan Escape

Happy One Year 🐰
Thank you for teaching me and for helping me grow into the person I want to be.

I started writing this song to offset a lot of quarantine anxiety. Choosing to focus on the sweet, soft, aspects of the holiday season was my much-needed escape from the pits of 2020. The lyrics are in homage to my wonderful girlfriend who has helped me feel a sense of normalcy during all the chaos of this year, and for that reason, I am releasing it as a surprise on our year anniversary. This is the first song release I have done without long built promotion, so I'm excited to see the response!

Bunny Dream

Music for the sad romantic.

Life’s hard, lets try to be kind 😊
