I tried experimenting with some synth effects to practice. Although I don't listen to electronic music much, I tried to create some with whatever little knowledge I had about the genre.

Experiment #1

Stop making me 
scream into darkness

I just want this to end
Sick of playing pretend 
I don’t need you, I want you
You’re more than a friend

I make a fool of myself
Think I will show and not tell
But you’re a ship in pacific 
Driftin as tides swell. 

I don’t think you know how
Much I think about you
Enough to daydream and write a song
To sing about you

Why the hell do I care
If you’re here or not here
If I had the capabilities
I’d forget about you 

Stop making me scream into darkness
I just might be onto my last leg

And it’s not like I’ve not 
Told you, I’ve tried a lot
I just suck at expressing
You suck at reading thoughts

I don’t need to let you know 
What is going through my head
I just need you to need me
Hear what I never said 

I don’t think you know how
Much I think about you
Enough to daydream and write a song
To sing about you

You do hear what I say
But you’re a million miles away
Both literally and almost quite
Figuratively

Stop making me scream into darkness
I just might be onto my last leg

Back and forth like a pendulum
I keep losing the track of time
And every time you come around
I convince myself I’ll be fine
But you don’t look at me the same way and
It’s turning me inside out
God, it’s stupid how I keep coming back
Getting lost, and getting found.

Stop making me
Scream into darkness

Fun.: What The Fuck (Live)

How you been, it's been long
And have you had any luck moving on
Hope you're tryna be strong
Cuz I'm barely holding on 

Still hung over the past
I'm just here turning everything to a song
Don't want the time we shared to be gone in vain
What was it all for 

Can't explain all this pain all I been doin is get faded
The world rotates like it's all the same it don't care if we make it
It's all a haze, I'm just looking for ways to better days
I trust it'll stop raining and trust that every good habit pays off
I'm way off 
No closer to catching a break, instead I'm breaking
Each day gone
I'm working myself to the bone for the money I'm making
And I take refuge in it
Suits ready to buy all your time, they'd be silly if they're refusing it
All I do is think about it, be no use in it 

And your texts be making shit all the more confusing
What's next for us we 'sposed to just be cool again?
Imma trip over the pieces of our hearts and make myself look a fucking fool again
Tell me what does it now mean for me to be to me and you just you again

Maybe I've been fixating lately mainly on all the things that been holding me back
I been constantly contemplating, barely have I put in the work, I hide in this track
I place my faith in the hands of time and trust that it passes
Heals our wounds, and subdues the fears that held us captive
Hope we gather all that's left of us and come out of the past tense
Move ahead but not forget it was good while it lasted

How You Been (demo)

This one was written as background music. Hopefully that explains the wrong notes, horrific timing problems, and general lack of a build up.

The Tesseract

December 1st - Waltz for Four Hands, for a Friend

This is the second track I ever worked on. Whatever I write is based on the different states of my mind I have. And while writing this particular track, I was feeling at the top of the world, really happy in general. I felt that all my dreams were achievable too It talks about the same, believing in myself and feeling quite confident of my abilities. However, that is quite a tiny part of my headspace and my thoughts keep changing, often for the worse. So this only represents a tiny part of the picture. The sound is influenced by Twenty One Pilots, Arctic Monkeys and Fun. 

Lyrics:

I'm chasing, I'm falling
My dreams, a thousand times.
I'm crazy, I'm reckless
I guess I'll die trying.
And I don't pretend to
Show that I'm fine.
I'm crazy, I'm reckless
And maybe they are right.

Some Nights, I don't care about what they say
Today, they're getting on my nerves.
Some times I get lost on the way,
Now I'm familiar with the curves.

I live on a mountainside.
Eyeing the horizon,
Waiting for my sunrise
I might be a man out of time.
Shooting my shot, 
To pretend I can fly.

I'm craving to break out,
From living on repeat.
My feet are on fire,
From chasing my dreams.
I might be crazy,
That's how you might see it.
But it's alright,
That's what I wanna be.

Sometimes I get an existential dread,
It's right before I head to bed.
Sometimes I'm unsure of who I'd be
Never wanted something so bad...

I live on a mountainside.
Eyeing the horizon,
Waiting for my sunrise
I might be a man out of time.
Shooting my shot, 
To pretend I can fly.

I'm lost in a mindless maze,
Don't wanna be found.
If I find my way through,
I swear I'll come around.
It's way better in here,
Than the mountaintop.
The sun never sets as,
I sit ashore.

I live on a mountainside.
Eyeing the horizon,
Waiting for my sunrise
I might be a man out of time.
Shooting my shot, 
To pretend I can fly.
