You always told me
You would always love me
You don’t know what you’d do if
You ever lost me
Since you’ve gone away
The sun don’t ever shine
What do I do here
Without you by my side
Goodbye my best friend
Beautiful butterfly
You always helped me
You knew just what to say
You were my color
Now everything is gray
If I could tell you
Just one more time
How much I love you
You live inside my heart

Someone's On My Mind

I was on your side
I don’t know how you missed it
Now I’m dead inside
Can you be a witness?
Thought that you were mine
Now I’m just a victim,
Of what you left behind
You still leave me speechless
Someone’s on my mind
Yeah
It’s you

See Her Stay

The sun is falling, it’s getting dark
I don’t know if I will ever see her again
I can see the scars, they’re shining and
When I need her most, she fades away
She breaks, She weeps
I gave her everything she needs
She’s wrong, She thinks
She’s better off just suffering
She stops, She thinks
She offers up sincerity
She’s strong, She’s weak
I just want her to stay
I don’t want to let her go
I don’t want to see her beg
She sees the stars, She’s counting them
When She needs me most, I stay away

Broke Inside

lay it on the line
what is on your mind
your heart is broken
so is mine
windows are open
turn off the light
nothing lasts forever
except this night
you're broke inside
relight the fire
turn on the light
when the heartaches over
who am I
you don't have to tell me
you don't have to lie
you ask another question
and I have mine
you're broke inside

very early solo version
she sleeps soundly
her eyes closed
put an arm around her
I speak softly
as I lay
in the bed beside her
your footsteps are heavy

Decided to to an improv jam. Everything was done in one take because I wanted it to be authentic as if I were jamming with the boys.
I was playing bass and doing vocals at the same time so that's one track. I added a guitar track and a drum track. Since it was all improvised in the moment it's obviously sloppy but I didn't care about that part. I just hit record and whatever happened happened.
The lyrics I came up with in the moment
You're standing all alone
You've got your headphones on
You're looking so alone
You tell me nothing's wrong
Your eyes don't lie
I won't try,
To get you on my side
Your eyes don't lie
You're sitting all alone
You're talking on your phone
You ask me to hold on
You lost me long ago

Never thought I'd leave
This basement
There's no hope inside
Things have gone as fat
As they could have gone
Needs no explanation
If you're getting high
Take your time
Please don't tell me
Keep it secret
I'm going out now
No it's not that simple
What's that creepy sound
Who are those freaky people
I'll keep it to myself
Like any good friend would
Though it drives me crazy
And I might go insane
She's not that fantastic

I hope that you're doing well
can we skip the small talk
I can't seem to talk to you
just like in art class
if you ever held my hand
would you in public
and all these thoughts inside my head
I've held them in for so long
and I can't say these things to you
I hope I don't scare you off
honesty is scaring you
does honesty scare you
give me just one honest stare
your eyes say so much
I love much more than just your face
your inner beauty
now that you're so far away
I miss you so much
and I can't say these things to you

they don't mind
if you cry

stay away
from the sun
if you melt
we'll be one

You're kind of an eye sore
That's what the mic's for
To say it out loud
Go to a dark part
That's where your looks are
Not in a crowd
Drinking doesn't make you
Pretty pretty
You're sitting by yourself
Drinking doesn't make you
Pretty pretty
You and no one else
Drinking doesn't make you
Pretty pretty
This is out of hand
Drinking doesn't make you
Pretty pretty
I don't want to dance
You're kind of an eye sore
That's what the night's for
Don't flatter yourself
Go to a dark bar
Not where your friends are
I'm calling you out

On the floor
In my room
It's getting kind of late
What does this night
Have in store
I called you the wrong name
In the kitchen
On the floor
In a circle with my friend
We all talked
And we laughed
I've never felt like this
You don't want to know (8x)
We sit and talk
It lasts for hours
But you don't seem to care
All I want
Is to be with you
I'm lost inside your stare
All the things
That I say
Seem to come out wrong
It's like a game we play
I keep my feelings hidden
Because I know you'll say
You Don't Want To Know (8x)

It's just the sound of your voice in the wind
It's just a chance to see you again
It's just a chance to say good bye
It's just that I need you by my side
I can see you
I can feel you
I can see you
You're gone
It's just a chance to see you smile
It's just a chance to hug you again
It's just that you'll always be my friend
It's just that I could be there with you
I can see you
I can feel you
I can see you
You're gone
It's just a
It's just that
I miss you
I hear your voice in the wind
I turn around
But you're gone

Please say that

I've got a story for ya
About a girl name Tina
She wore new shoes
And walked in the rain
She walked through the fluid
Her new shoes were ruined
I think it blew her night and
I didn't do it
Girls don't cry
There's no evidence
Girls don't cry
This is so repetitive
Girls don't cry
There's that line again
Girls don't cry yeah
I've got a question for ya
Can you recover
You say it's a disaster
It's not that bad
You ruined all your makeup
Why don't you just give up
That isn't how I meant it
Don't take it like that

why pay bills on a sunday
there's better things to do
would you go my way
if I was uncool
I don't like your question
I don't see your obsession
I have a confession
I don't like to learn
and I don't like the light
I just like the night
I don't want to fight
so why am I talking to myself
why kill yourself on a tuesday
couldn't you wait another day
do you think it's gonna rain
I don't like those things you said
I don't see good news
I don't like your views
I don't like to listen
I would like your permission
and I don't like the light
I just like the night
I don't want to fight
so why am I talking to myself

hey you're starting to walk

hey you're starting to cry
without any thoughts
hold on to my hand
and wait until it bends
and rise above it all
and I will watch you fall
hey you're starting to walk
without any flaws
hey you're starting to cry
without any thought
your taking baby steps

hitch a ride
I won't lie
I will try to sacrifice

people were shocked when Jim Morrison died
people were happy and some of them were mad
when the Vietnam vets first came back
someone shot the president and almost shot his wife
this is the day America died
save the queen
life is such a bore
the queen has died
save the queen tonight
the world stood still for a moment when
