And in the days before, and the days after
I will take your scorn, learn to fly faster
cause you aren't like anything I've ever seen
you're a dying dream

This distance has grown, and it's all I can do to forget you
in my own way
For I can, be the person that you need me to be
so I just wanted to say
Oh the things I would do for you 2x
So lonely it hurts, but it's the price you pay
for avoiding pain
So lonely it hurts, but still I wait
for you to call my name
Oh the things I would do for you 2x
So lonely it hurts
Oh the things I would do for you
Just ask me too
nah nah nah nah nah nah

Burning from Within
03:52

It feels like breathing smoke, and on these flames I do choke
cause there is a fire in my heart, there is a fire that you did start
I don't need a thing, I don't need a thing from you
Cause I'm right here waiting, cause I'm burning from within
If I fan those flames, never naming names
could you guess my sin, would you burn from within
Cause there is a fire, there is a fire
So pour the gasoline
cause there is a fire, there is a fire
If you know what i mean
cause there is a fire, there is a fire
So pour the gasoline
Cause you were the one who did this to me
You are a light in the dark, flint on steel kindle a spark
Cause there is a fire blazing below, there is a fire searing my soul
I want your everything, I want every bit of you
cause I'm right here waiting, cause I'm burning from within
If I fan those flames, never naming names
could you guess my sin, would you burn from within
Cause there is a fire, there is a fire
So pour the gasoline
cause there is a fire, there is a fire
If you know what i mean
cause there is a fire, there is a fire
So pour the gasoline
Cause you were the one who did this to me
Nah, nah, nah, nah

I could use a little sunshine
in this little heart of mine
And if you could find
the time
I think that would be just fine
Just a simple request
I should like to rest
my weary head, and tired eyes
and maybe just stay with you
for awhile
Baby I was born to break your heart
but you knew that right from the start
Baby I was born to break your heart
take your love and pull it apart
Noooooo ohh ho ohhhh
I could use a little sunshine
a little peace of mind
for I have lived so many lives
spent dying inside
and I must confess
at not being my best
should I get it right
I'll be the day, you the night
Baby I was born to break you heart
but you knew that right from the start
Baby I was born to break your heart
take your love and pull it apart

Finally finished this three year old demo, very happy with it. Enjoy
When the past is finally gone
and all that's left is the creature you've become
Take a look at what you've done
there will come a day, where you can't love someone
Think of all the words you never say
Think of all your plans as they fade away
Think of all the people, living out their dreams
Think of you, you only ever think about you
Cause I'm a Monster
you've only read about
in stories told to children that can't sleep at night
Yeah I'm a Monster
creeping under your bed
and in your head I herald the dying of the light
For the world, and it's ways
for the hate, and the shame
and for time, oh time
what have you done to me
Cause I'm a Monster
you've only read about
in stories told to children that can't sleep at night
Yeah I'm a Monster
creeping under your bed
and in your head I herald the dying of the light
Yeah I'm a Monster 4x

Day one, has barely begun, and off I run
Cause times no friend to me
and I put my shoes on, one by one
just like anyone
And these four walls
makes me feel so small
but the sad truth of it all
is this is me without you
This is me without you
and I know that you've gone on your way,
won't you come back to me baby
This is me without you
and I know that you've gone on your way,
want you to come back to me baby
Today, will be the day, you fade away
cause you're never coming home
and if you'd just call, all over again I'd fall
but the sad truth of it all
is this is me without
This is me without you
and I know that you've gone on you way
won't you come back to me baby
This is me without you
and I know that you've gone on you way
want you to come back to me baby

7 x 7

One for silver, one for gold
Two for a story never to be told
Three for laughter, three for the cold
and Four for you leaving, me alone
And I wanna say that I miss you
and I, wanna say that's a lie
Cause Lord knows, I miss you
Where are you tonight.
Five for fortune, five for fame
Six for the things that never change
Seven times seven stuck in the way
Eight for the promise that we made
And I wanna say that I miss you
and I, wanna say that's a lie
Cause Lord knows, I miss you
Where are you tonight.
Where are you tonight. 3x

Please Come Back Home
03:41

Tell me darling, do you often dream
And if so, do you ever dream of me
In the dead of night, restlessly stirring
Without me there, to kiss you back to sleep
Without you here, I am incomplete
Tell me baby, can you still feel me
Brushing from you hair all those fallen leaves
Singing you songs, gently whispering
Without you here, sleeping next to me
Without me there, I am barely breathing
And oft times when I remember
with eyes closed, half awake
all the memories forgotten
only for safety sake
That I spent a lifetime
building in your eyes
Only now to break this silence
That seems able to move mountains
but what I really wanted to say
Was Please Come Back Home
Please Come Back Home

Big City Lights

I'm on my way
far from yesterday
You'll find me on the next train
Gonna leave without a name
Oh how bright are big city lights when you see them
How all of your troubles just fade away
And all you ever needed was a reason
To leave the past behind and live for today
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
To where blue skies never gray
You'll catch me on the next plane
Gonna lead myself astray
Oh how bright are big city lights when you see them
How all of your troubles just fade away
And all you ever needed was a reason
To leave the past behind and live for today
I'm on my way

Lonesome Roads

Heading home once again
missed my family, missed my friends
and I know how the world is
never see it all if you live
and oh these lonesome roads
I will follow as far as they go
and if I reach the end
I hope to meet you there my friend
For I know. . .
That's just how it goes
it goes round and round in circles and nobody knows
And all these lonesome roads
they go round and round in circles and
nobody knows

Hello, how are you?
My dear old friend,
and how long has it been
Good to see you once again
And it's touch and go,
anyway the wind blows
And I remember exactly what you meant
when you said I told you so,
and I told you so
How's the wife, how's the kids
How's your Ma, how's your Sis
and where do I even begin,
Til we meet again
And it's touch and go,
anyway the wind blows
And I remember exactly what you meant
when you said I told you so,
and I told you so
