SONGS
things still becoming
Come inside the songs as they take shape—lyrics, demos, fragments, and ideas still becoming.
This is what I'm working on.
SO CLOSE
You can't get there from here. So close but still so far away.
I DISAPPEAR
I let go and still remain. We all seek A way through Like there’s something We can get to Yet every word I try to use Melts away When it meets you I lean back The signal bends Blur the line Where I begin I let go without a trace I’ve fallen in I’ve fallen into you I’ve fallen past Anything I knew No up, no down No sky to break me through Just a quiet blue As I disappear Still I move Inside your frame Love didn’t end It changed its name Something in me Can’t resist Like I always knew What we were in I became Hard to trace Something remained After I changed I let go And still remain I’ve fallen in I’ve fallen into you I’ve fallen past Anything I knew No up, no down No sky to break me through Just a quiet blue As I disappear Into blue Into you Out of sight Still running through I’m nowhere. You can hold onto Still moving in The shade of you I disappear
MORE TIME
Funny how an ordinary Tuesday can never feel the same.
I WANT YOU MORE
Even when I don't want to. I stay where you can see me I don’t need much now I lean into the moment When your eyes come around I don’t ask, I just stay I pull back to see if you turn I feel closer just knowing You noticed me once I hate how much I need this I stay where you’ll find me I know when you’re gone I feel the shift in the room When the quiet comes on Being seen starts feeling known Enough gets assumed You notice when I’m not there I leave less room I hate how much I feel this I want you more I want you more I want you More More Even when I don’t want to I want you More
WHEN YOU'RE GONE
When you're gone, I'll sing your song. Haunted silence shakes the dark of night How I wish, love, I could make wrongs right In my jail, memories of you My heaven's a hell, cuz I have fallen too. Serenade me Cuz I'm your muse Please come save me I have fallen too When you're gone I'll sing your song I'll sing your song When you're gone
NOTHING BEAUTIFUL
The ache grew quiet, but love remained. Verse 1 I once thought that gone was gone A door would close, the light move on But loss is not an empty room It keeps rearranging things in you Chorus You’re in every place you left behind In every little thing I thought was mine I let you go, but you’re still moving through me Nothing beautiful ever really leaves The years have changed the way I say your name The ache grew quiet, but the love remained Parts of you I wish had carried on Still, nothing beautiful is ever gone Verse 2 I find you in the strangest things A broken chord, a missing string The way the evening enters blue And makes the whole room look like you Chorus You’re in every place you left behind In every little thing I thought was mine I let you go, but you’re still moving through me Nothing beautiful ever really leaves The years have changed the way I say your name The ache grew quiet, but the love remained Parts of you I wish had carried on Still, nothing beautiful is ever gone Bridge I guess I wished that nothing would change I’d always hear you call my name I guess I thought we’d stay the same Everlasting—nothing could break Final Chorus You’re in every place you left behind In every little thing I thought was mine I let you go, but you’re still moving through me Nothing beautiful ever really leaves The years have changed the way I say your name The ache grew quiet, but the love remained Parts of you I wish had carried on Still, nothing beautiful is ever gone Outro Nothing beautiful is ever gone Parts of you keep carrying on Nothing beautiful is ever gone
LIKE YOU
I don't like you because you are just like me. Like u Verse 1 echo: Want it lit up like a citadel Undercover of chlorophyll Feed your soul on atophagy. Silken webs, are the dreams you weave Built your thrown On borrowed gold Burn your world For warmth to feel Feast on Hell and Tolls of bells Chorus: I don’t like u cuz you’re just like me I don’t like you cuz you are just like me Spoken: You’reAlways full of sh*t You’re Always want to quit You ain’t got nothing nice to say What do you want anyway? You cry cause you left fuzzy home You cry when you’re complete unknown You pretend you’re so elegant You’re a sick-o sick-o sycophant Chorus: I don’t like you cuz you are just like me I don’t like you cuz you are just like me I don’t like you cuz you are just like me Verse 2 echo: Spin yr sermon to overkill Under cover of dollar bills Feed your gods with economy Ignoring cries of democracy Feeding fear On borrowed coin Scorch your earth And counting cheers Chorus: I don’t like you cuz you are just like me I don’t like you cuz you are just like me I don’t like you cuz you are just like Spoken: You always talking sh*t You always claim you’re innocent You ain’t got nothing real to say What do you want — my DNA? You cry ‘bout losing your rights You’re fine till it hit your side You pretend you’re the president You’re a sick-o sick-o sycophant Chorus: I don’t like you cuz you are just like me I don’t like you cuz you are just like me I don’t like you cuz you are just like Outro: Soul sucking vampire You’re a lot like me
