Trying, Too 04:01
Tired, blankin On the words I say to you It’s time to relax Unwind into sheets of white Figure out the mess we made tonight Talking only Gets you as far as talkin’ can When you decide to Hold up both your hands against The only place where sound has a chance I won’t waste the day for you You won’t waste the day for me too If you don’t wanna try And I don’t wanna lie Then i’m not tryin too Thinking All the times we had to say i'm sorry Did wereally mean it Or did we wanna get on Move along until we find a meaning Tryin to be one who keeps you in their eye All the, all the damn time Till it gets too bright Keepin watch until i lose my sight Chorus

Daily 03:08
Tell me oh tell me a story Of all the awful things And all of the glories I haven't heard a thing Until you've told me Discovering All there's to knowing Show me oh show me the part I know I’ve never seen Anything before thee Your every word’s a string (hymn) Wrapping me wholly I’m wandering Back to you daily La la la la la Bring me oh bring me the time I Called her just to.. “Hey, What are you saying? I think i’m gonna leave.” “Well I guess i’m staying” Remembering..

Happening 03:59
Well it’s too bad That he shrunk her down To a feeling. Swallowed up in a verse Force fed Spit out a meaning I’m not tired when we sleep, But i’ll rustle the sheets, Make you think That you are just enough Cause it’s too hard Keeping up with the ways That we’re going Like a chunk of earth Buried Underneath the ceiling It’s gonna fall just when we think We’ve conquered everything But maybe We are just enough Watch in bed as it comes crashin through Worse than we could’ve dreamed it Splits the hands that once held two Hurts more now when you see it Happening, finally Well it’s too sad To think that far back On the story Of the boy and the girl Wrapped up in vines of ivy That’s doesn’t grow so tall Or grow at all Come to think of it Well i’ve been thinking of ways To pass the time If only You hadn’t had this effect To build and to wreck All of me If the ceiling had held We’d still be propping the shelves Waiting for the fall No matter what we ended up Turning away from the reason Sweet denial and a bitter smile Bury away all that we’ve been If i had one thing to say I wouldn’t do it anyway Passing the time of forgiving Try to make each and every night One that resembles living Finally, happening

Hazy 02:12
Listen, Lets talk about this Someday, For now let me kiss you A secret come monday Never know the places that we’ve been But don’t you think my eyes won’t shutter when you smile Drivin To the next spot Lately, The way you watch the world Through the window leaves me hazy Never know the way you make me see Don’t you think that I won’t notice when you’re shy Starting, To feel it Baby, Each time you leave me breathless Beggin for you plainly Never want this comin’ to an end Don’t you think that I will ever leave your side

Hardly 03:19
Floating with you on the edge Takes all of me to understand all the fullness of you Oh i think you understand Takes all of you to recommend What I could do for you What I would do for you But I can hardly move Come take the time away from me I don’t deserve to have it free Stripped from you to the End of times will tell me that never any one thing I said But what i did to you What i should do for you But I can hardly move

In Between 02:36
Come, sit down Gathers the crowd “I loved you most but I must be goin” Maybe They won’t care much at all Forget you the moment it falls away Even the ones that said “I love you so” How do we placate the sea Rushing on in, taking us with All just a thought Till it dries you up To swim or to sink Be born again Or fall somewhere In between, Forgetting the moment it seems Even the ones you hold like a dream It’s getting quite hard to breathe

Marionettes 02:20
Lower me onto the table, forgetting why Strings are hanging over my head. Pull my lips so I am able, to reply With words that I’ve never said. Thread unwinds, keep the end in the palm of your hand. Squeezing tight, you pretend you’re a girl with a plan, he will give in. He looks up from the table, remembers why Her voice surrounds the air. Pulling wires to disable, the crime Of how we talk when we are scared. Pull you up, let the sound go above the skin. I won’t run away if I have time to begin, let’s jump in. Take off the wires and find ourselves again.

Regret 03:52
Dress me in clothes that you buy Wrap me in shiny things, Laugh till we cry If you want it all I’ll give you it all Color me outside the lines Or fill me in with a grin Do what you like If you need it all I’ll give you it all Those things I should’ve said before you left Promise me You won’t share our old bed Sarah I Just need you to know my regrets Knowing just what you need to hear Knowing you but also knowing fear Passing on the moment of Passing by surpassing love Wanting you to know what’s yours Wanting you to want much more Feeling like we could carry on Feeling that the feelings gone

about

Various demos, moods and feelings that I was experiencing between 2017-2018. Nearly all songs were recorded and mixed in little 1 to 2 day chunks, hence why I'm calling this 'Snapshots'. Enjoy.
