[Verse]
I had a dream of you but you looked so different
Your eyes were black and blue I missed the brown in them
I tried to take your hand but it felt so alien
So I let you go and you evaporated

[Chorus]
What do I do when I feel I just met you
I just met you
Can you tell me your name
And who are you if you're not what I thought of you
I can't think it through

[Verse]
I had a nightmare when you were in my arms
You felt warm and kissed me hard
You slipped your little pink dress off, my heart was yours
I tried to touch you and you were gone

[Chorus]
what do I do when I feel I lost you
I lost you
Can you tell me where's your heart
And where are you if you're not next to me

Am I just here to be used
Just to be used
But I still need you

[Bridge]
Don't wake me from my nightmare or a dream
As long as it's you I see
Put me into a coma and just let me sleep
Wake me up
When it's you and me

[Outro]
What do I do when I still need you
I need you
I need you

What do I do when I still need you
I need you
I still need you

What do I do

[Intro]
Tonight was the night I fell for you
and tomorrow will be the day I'll give you everything

Right now all I ask is that you stay with me
and this cold we find ourselves in

It's only temporary

[Verse]
I don't know how to love you
From so far away
But I'm willing to learn
I have so much to say

But maybe another day

I brought you some white tulips
I hope they're still your favorite
And I got you some dark chocolates
'Cause I know you don't like when they're too sweet for you

Was I too sweet for you?

[Chorus]
'Cause tonight was the night I fell for you
and tomorrow will be the day I'll give you everything

'Cause tonight was the night I fell for you
and tomorrow will be the day I'll give you everything

[Verse]
I brought your ring again
I know you wanted it
Can I hold on to it, just a while longer?
Then I'll leave it with you right next to your name

But not today

I don't know if there's anyone else for me
I'm too busy with trying to deal with everything
I'll leave and hold the sight of you in my memory
I will not forget all that you mean to me

Am I being too clingy?

[Bridge]
'Cause tonight I feel something will change
Theme stars are aligned and the moon is in full phase

I wouldn't miss it for the world
I'd miss the world just for you

[Outro Chorus]
'Cause tonight was the night I fell for you
and tomorrow will be the day I'll give you everything

'Cause tonight was the night I fell for you
and tomorrow will be the day I'll give you everything

[Outro]
Tonight was the night I fell for you
and tomorrow was gonna be our wedding day

Tomorrow

[Intro]
You're a special kind of weapon
Pure chaos, it's peace you wage war on
Walking through my life like a saboteur
Whistling while you work

[Verse]
Isn't it selfish?
I wanted it sane
Distance from my limits
You're a risk I claim

[Pre-Chorus]
As I jump on you like a grenade
I don't even know who to blame

[Chorus]
You brought the weapon but I pulled the trigger
No matter what the bullet hits
I gotta feel you kick
[Beat Drop]
I gotta feel you kick

[Verse]
I even saw it coming
Sirens go off as warning
My white flag turning crimson
Too deep to start escaping

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to hide slipping on my chainmail
But the links are falling as you caress them
My neck exposed
Do what you will

[Chorus]
You brought the weapon but I pulled the trigger
No matter what the bullet hits
I gotta feel you kick
[Beat Drop]
I gotta feel you kick

[Verse]
Why do I want it?
Elegance like a sharp blade
I like testing it
Running my fingers
up and down the edge
Dyeing the surface
It's getting thick

[Outro]
And with a bite I break your skin
Blood on your lips like red lipstick
Yet when I take you all in
You seem so damn innocent

Kick

[Verse]
It feels like I'm running
But I feel like flying in the sky
Diving down to the ocean in the night
Avoiding the islands and the tides
Don't want the safety it provides

Can you find me drifting?
Navigate by looking at the stars
Cuz it's not daylight any more
Sun burns somewhere way too far
To ever wanna look for

[Chorus]
Close your eyes for me
Feel my heart slowing somewhere beneath
The ocean's islands

Pull me to the surface
If it is worth it

Just break me
From this silence


[Verse]
It feels like the world's crushing me
But I feel like going deeper in the dark tonight
Chasing the pressure of it all
Escaping the air till I'm gone
I don't want these thoughts

The dark is now a friend to me
Cold and close with a whisper of a ring
I try to speak but only bubbles flee
Rushing up erratically

[Chorus]
Close your eyes for me
Feel my heart slowing somewhere beneath
The ocean's islands

Pull me to the surface
If it is worth it

Just break me
From this silence

[Verse]
A sudden rush comes seeping in
Heat from a source not within
Is it hell or a second wind?
Now I chase the words I meant for them

I move all at once, limb for limb
Swinging at the water screaming a silent hymn
Everywhere I look points up
But my words escape to where I can be whole again

[Chorus]
Close your eyes for me
Feel my heart racing somewhere beneath
The ocean's islands

Pull me to the surface
If it is worth it

Just break me
From this silence

[Outro]
Fighting for a breath I never wanted
Reaching for the stars as they wander
Knowing you are the brightest one
This pressure I will no longer surrender to

As long as I know the one
Out there looking is you

Ocean's Islands

[Verse]
Damn right
I want you to come to me tonight
I know what i said
Wasn't right
Like a demon and his devil
We don't play right

It's not like
I hate what you bring out when you decide
To explore
Our darker side

But you can't bring me to my knees
Unless you're on yours with me

[Chorus]
So hate me baby
The fire in your eyes
Keeps me warm, my lovely
Make the heat taste sweet
For me baby

[Verse]
You can call me what ever you want
If you don't mind
When I make you atone
You love to pay for the man you make me be

'Cuz I can see
In the way you're provoking me
This hell can cool down if we sweat it out

[Chorus]
So hate me baby
The fire in your eyes
Keeps me warm, my lovely
Make the heat taste sweet

So hate me baby
The fire in your eyes
keeps me warm, my lovely
Make the heat taste sweet
For me baby

[Verse]
Is it daylight
It feels like we did something wrong
Last night
I see it written in your skin

I feel like
Those marks make me hate myself
But you wear it like a brand
Making me love you all over again

[Bridge]
Forgive me for what I put you through
Let me get you something to eat
I'll draw a bath and rub your feet
Don't you say a damn thing

Just lay there and heal
From what must be a sin
And by tonight
We'll do it all over again

[Chorus]
So hate me baby
The fire in your eyes
Keeps me warm, my lovely
Make the heat taste sweet

[Outro Chorus]
Now love me baby
And how you are mine
keeps me warm, my lovely
Make the heat taste sweet
For me baby

Hate Me Baby

[Verse]
Woke up
Same ceiling
Coffee does nothing
but feels like an old friend
Each page turning before I get to the end
Feeling late
every moment I spend -

[Chorus]
Life in a
Fast forward blur
Skipping the
Frames we deserve
Hurrying to the end of
What could have been a
Good life if I

[Bridge]
Just slowed it down
Just slow it down
Just slow it down

Before it fades

[Verse]
Laying awake
Its the damned ceiling again
Imagined motivation
Half of my heart in the future
Half in the past
The future has passed and getting further
Theres a desperate comfort
When you live -

[Chorus]
Life in a fast forward blur
Skipping the frames we deserve
Hurrying to the end of what could have been a
Good life if I

[Bridge]
Just slowed it down
Just slow it down
Just slow it down

[Outro]
Slow it down
Slow it down
Before I fade away
And the end credits don't have my name
Waiting for the extra scene that never came

About Me

Bio

I am 35 years old, have been playing guitar and writing songs since I was 13. Never been much of a performer but I love writing music. I have been writing purely for the love of it, but now the quality of my work is good enough that I'd like to see them fully realized by people with the talent to perform and record them.

I write in stories. Any one of my songs have a clear arc to them, and use metaphors intelligently. I never post any song I am half confident in.
