The Shiner 04:12
Shiner from above Let the ones not spoken of Learn the truth of open love Close your eyes dear You are safe here Ruined and shattered by the sorrow in the way Same as tomorrow, just the same as yesterday If just to borrow but a glimpse of you today Just for an hour, won't you send away the rain? You just don't see how you bring me down Would it (would it) do me better To look around To fill the void in the heart That's seldom found Lo' I am lonely And you're fading slowly Ruined and shattered by the sorrow in the way Same as tomorrow, just the same as yesterday If just to borrow but a glimpse of you today Just for an hour, won't you send away the rain? Look at the stars in your smile Won't you stay here for a while? True love is never out of style I think it's right here right now I think it's right here right now

Nostalgia 05:47
In due time We will find where we're supposed to stand in line For a little peace of mind We may find out where our troubles really lie Call on me to relate When all those problems that we share seem here to stay Come along, we'll find our way Sooner than later through these long, darkened days Holding on To the wrong years Now that they're gone Maybe it's time to dissapear Far beyond "Far too long" Past the point we don't belong What remains but the reigns And the thought of moving on Through the fire and the glory Of the battles we have won What remains? What remains? Besides the bad(?) things we have done?

The Birdin' 05:55
There is but one right way to pray That's to the setting sun of yesterday All that for which you thought you paid Along that steady course you stayed You're putting me on you're putting me on Telling me I am the darkness You've got it all wrong You've got it all wrong I really just don't see the likeness All I wanted Was to kill The burden of reality Won't you hold on? Oh, won't you hold on? Just let me see what I got here You gotta be fair Oh, won't you be fair? I'd like just a taste of my last beer Come back here In another year By then, I will have cleaned it up There is but one right way to pray That's to the setting sun of yesterday All that for which you thought you paid You found along that heady path you stayed

Amber Road 02:38
Down a road of amber Through the plains of embers It's so hard sometimes To find what what's really on my mind Look in the pocket of a friend If you don't see what's really on my mind After all of the signs Don't you know just how hard you were to find After all of this time After all of this time Down a road of amber Through the plains of embers It's so hard sometimes To find what what's really on my mind Look in the pocket of a friend I would turn back the pages of my life To meeting you In my dreams i Think of only that To be with you Yes, you

Sirens' Song 07:12
Naked faces Some blue and some green Distant traces That keep calling back to me Lift the thin veil Of shimmering sunshine From the brides of shale Beneath the brine Starless darkness Behold the secrets you keep Hiding purpose From beyond the deep Years on Walk tall To rise The rough seas of November They'll drag us down As their mothers still sing "Come unto me I have waited for thee Give yourself free To the kiss of the sea" In dawn's horizon's company Far beyond this shallow misery Saturated voices from the Depths of sleep Sing songs of joy in their deceit Seek the serpents Fortunes of mine Rise to surface Writhing in time They hide Their eyes And everything is all right "Come unto me I have waited for thee Give yourself free To the kiss of the sea" In Dawn's Horizon's company Far beyond this shallow misery Saturated voices from the Depths of sleep Sing songs of joy in their deceit Distant shores will provide us comfortably Send us off, and guide us to our home Where we belong we'll know long after we are gone Onwards sail t'wards distant siren's song

Das Boot 05:19
In the year of '42 The wolves were in the chicken coop Seasoned vet'ran of '43 Had to pay an entry fee Gathered in the moonlight At a quarter to midnight For another tour at sea Inside that dreadful machine We will do our part (we cross our heart) With brevity and courage (and hope to die) Strewn so far apart On the bottom of that rolling sea By the end of 1944 Many wrecks lay on the sea floor By the grace of 1945 One in four of us were left alive All the guages were broken By tremendous explosions So close to implosion The needle just crossed the red line But in our hearts (but in our hearts) Brevity and courage (so far from home) Will keep us steady On the bottom of that rolling sea

Zona 04:55
Don't you go on your own On your quest for the stone Learn your truths untold For the Wishgranter's kingdom has come Hi there how are you, call me Stalker You there, Professor, and you, Writer You must be the ones'come seeking answers Stay near - and never talk about her I live for the journey To beyond this crimson home of dreary monochrome To The Zone Knowledge of the dead lay in the open But don't be fooled by false impressions You may find your innermost desire Become infinitely higher Since I was a young man I've known the secrets of The Zone And never told (But they must known) Lost in this oasis where the grass sings lullabies I could hardly put to words what lay before our eyes I am but your guide through this unnatural device It's a long and broken path But you can make it out alive (Probably, an awful translation) Privet Zona Pajalysta Prosti menya Ya doma

Run Off Song 04:13
How's the weather? Well it's cold and getting colder How goes survival? Well it's kind of like the weather What went awry with everything you ever wanted? I don't know - I thought I did til' I defaulted This daydream's got the best of us Before we fell Put there by who knows Maybe both us Our graves will tell Believing that we're not haunted By the sound of something near to us From the sound of it, it's dear to us We must have gone through every proper channel

Bee Good 04:35
Just another heartfelt love song Sung to the winds of fortunes long-gone That lay me down Below the ocean deep Beside a hill too steep Oh, lay me down Treat yourself Thine be good Thou be well All-star specialty Blessed be my friend You've got me getting-over all the time You've got me getting-over all the time Through that cloudless, thoughtless summer Stood your visage and no other Oh, I knew it well You were my friend to-be To me no mystery Facet of my mind You've got me getting-over all the time You've got me getting-over all the times

The Source 05:10
Beyond the thought of sleep One more time unto the breach Serpent from the deep Giving answers no one seeks You're no good to me No you ain't no good to me When I shield my eyes from seein' You trickle through the cracks of my well-being Pick a troubling device Rummage through your hopes just to get through the night Ain't a troubling feeling? As you watch them fade away With the misty morning light? Borne unto the air Reprise to my despair Set my mind aflame To torch the oil in my veins You just think it's neat To see if I can take the heat What an awful sight To see the power wheel of night Keep on turning It keeps on turning Hope is forever fleeting But if you're feelin' alright Hold on to that feeling Just be careful what you wish for in a paradise Live always, always life-long Live long all of your days Always the live-long way Live all ways, all ways life-long Live long all of your days Get to The Source today

Windy Rose 03:32
Again and again Day by day That windy compass guides me On my way Who could say, who would decide to stay? And who would choose to go this way? See her eyes on another face Or go through Hell again Oh no Let go It's trav'lin time again Again and again Day by day Ain't that the essence of the modern way? Would I ever go so fars' to stay In any given place? Could I put on a brand new face? And never roam again? Oh no Follow That compass til' the end The compass of The Windy Rose

about

Some goofy demos of varying quality I wrote for no one, nor anything in particular. Kind-of about a girl (it usually is right?)

A HUGE thanks to Aaron Hill for taking it upon himself to try and clean up my messy demos out of the kindness of his heart!
