Again Feel Like (demo)

are you okay?
you look like a mess
I remember when you were singing songs
and wearing that dress
coming home and you take your clothes off
trying not to see anyone
itâs getting hot and you try and argue
that youâre having fun
taking chances left and right
I donât even know if youâre alright
the couch feels secure
your bed like a home
craigslist has an escapist way
of making you feel alone
your friends are getting kind of sad
your eyes donât light up anymore
try and brush your teeth in the dirty bathroom
before you feel the storm
grow your hair and cut it all off
change is needed when your head feels soft
change is coming and things are close
I know itâs scary and you feel enclosed
but I promise you this, that when youâre through
you wonât feel damaged, and again feel like you

you marvel at the prospect
of looking me in my sad eyes
holding a map in my blind spot
you look me over lengthwise
and your sweet remarks falling from your lips
canât spare me my problems
half-hearted, half pure
but youâre holding the door for me
ohhh x2
donât close your eyes this time
weâll meet halfway there
but Iâm terrified and bare
so please whisper softly in the cool morning air
I canât expect you to tell me
what made you fall for me
tone-deaf and trapped in your old skin
you lean in and kiss my left cheek
and I canât recall what youâve done for me
besides all the things that I donât need
cold shoulder, cold hands
and I donât understand why you
do
what you do
donât close your eyes this time
weâll meet halfway there
but Iâm terrified and bare
so please whisper softly in the cool morning air

oh steve, I canât replace you
and I could never erase you from my brain
all I wanted was to suffer with you
but that I guess got misconstrued
make it easier for me today
I donât care what you donât have to say
itâs not fair for you to just leave me here
Iâm just waiting for dust that wonât clear
Iâm still waiting for you to come through
but I know that it wonât be real soon
take it easier for me and you
it takes everything I have not to call you
all my emails and texts just suspended in âwhat happens next?â
and Iâm making it harder on everyone smarter than me
I repeat myself day after day
tell me, what is it like without me?
is it everything you thought it would be?
is it easier or do you feel free?
your essence is fire and I miss your lavender touch
and rosewater doesnât seem much
whenever I hear your name
I sweat and I gasp alone
it rings in my ears every hour, but god
I couldnât even put it in this song
Iâve given all that I have in me
I just wish that you had more for me

Machine (demo)
02:31

|
when you feel all alone and they ask where youâd go
would you run?
would you run far away in the dark of the day
could I come?
and you feel far from home
and youâre drinking inside of your own
âcause your soul left your body
and now you are just a machine
and Iâm stuck in your head
and now you are wishing youâre me
and now Iâm the one who can help what youâve done
and I will
and if you wanna fly, I will not ask why
and Iâll too
and weâll run away slowly
together, weâll know we will grow
âcause your soul left your body
and now you are just a machine
and Iâm stuck in your head
and now you are wishing youâre me
settle down, my dear, donât throw a fit
this will be gone, just in a bit
weâll get through
and Iâm wondering what Iâm to do
âcause my soul left my body
and now I am just a machine
and youâre stuck in my head
and now Iâm not wishing Iâm me
