Don't Tell Me (Demo)

These days when I hear your name I remember how it began when we were just fourteen
Now I see your life is stuck on repeat and it's a never-ending cycle of despair and defeat
You said I should keep composed, that I should bottle all the anger up and not let it show
And god knows that I have tried but it's so hard to keep your cool while being buried alive
[Chorus]
Don't tell me to rest in peace
I'm ready to bare my teeth
I'm getting back on my feet
This isn't the end so don't bury my bones just yet
Or lay my soul to rest
I'll show you that I'm not dead
This isn't the end of me
You thought that I was done cause you made sure my back was turned before you fired the gun
Now I've travelled far and wide all just to shove it in your face again that I'm still alive
You know there ain't no rest for the guilty
[Final Chorus]
Don't tell me that I'm not real
My soul was not yours to steal
Just get me behind that wheel
There ain't no rest for
Ain't no rest for the guilty

Take this curse away from me like the river flows into the sea
Dress me up in fine silk clothes and show me all that I could be
And all along was it your intention to see me burn and fall?
I remember you in days since passed said "Son, you're gonna have it all"
[Chorus]
But it's the little things that divide us
And whispers that break the silence
Promise me you'll stay, don't ever slip away
My friend, we're coming home tonight
Faces fade with time and rain like the statues that are made of stone
But if they were ever there at all they'll be waiting for us when we get home
In flames you saw my corpse falling, pulled me from the ashes at dawn
And held my head (I'm so hung over) what could possibly go wrong?
[Chorus]
When it's the little things...
Shake the darkness off your foot and the sun will reveal its face
When angels sing with heads held high that's when you'll understand
(Why they had to do this to you)
[Chorus]
Cause it's the little things...

Peaches & Cream (Demo)

I know you feel the same but I'm too shy to tell you
I've got myself to blame, I wish that I could tell you
I'm waiting for the day that I can make it clear
I'm waiting for the words, the words that you will hear
[Chorus]
(Show me how) we could be like a nightmare and a dream
We could be like peaches and cream
(Show me how) you complete me like a river to the sea
Our story's coming to a close, just like Act II's final scene
I'm really bad with words, I guess I shouldn't tell you
I can't articulate whenever I'm around you
I'm waiting for the day that I can make it clear
I'm choking on my words, please get me out of here!

Dying Star (Demo)

Trapped in the heart of a dying star
It's so cold here
And you tried to save me but please understand
I would have pulled you in
I will never forget what I've done
I will not turn back
[Chorus]
So we pray
In the heart of a dying star
Let them ignore us, we're gearing up for war
Let the heavens and skies rain down
Wake me when the time comes and we will fight as one
Trek down the path and denounce your lies, I am listening
And scream! Let your war cry ring out loud and strong
Let them know who's winning!
I will never regret what I've done
I refuse to die
Don't fade away on me

Many people will tell you to fight for what they think is moral and right
But in this fickle world you must think for yourself, it's for you (only you) to decide
There are those who will teach you to hate then describe it as practicing faith
Are they really so sure that their faith on its own is enough for their soul to be saved?
I reject the idea that some god who loves everyone for who they are
Would give one single fuck about whether or not we believe that he's actually there
And sometimes we go too far, but that's not who we are
These lies, the story that keeps you sane
The perfect world you've made
It's falling down
This time, the galaxy will cascade, and everything you've made
Is falling down
Some day we will just be the scars of a universe with no stars
It's falling down
So why wait? We've still got today
Stop wishing your life away
Start falling down
We work every day cause we're sheep in a world of corruption and greed
Look out for #1 as we load up our guns to defend the American dream
But if we look beyond our own cell
Try to help anyone but ourselves
Then we're told that it's wrong and we just don't belong to remind us our lives are for sale
All the stress you build up in your head, it won't matter long after you're dead
You'll reflect on your life and you'll soon realise it was all just a means to an end
And you tell me that you're free, but that's not what I see

Starpilot (Demo)

They all told me I could be anything
I tried so hard, now I’m just miserable
Aim for the stars and you’ll land on Mars
If music fails I’ll be an astronaut
But things got worse and I got blown off course
And I was lost and had to recalibrate
So I took my time, resumed my life
Despite the pain, I can see clearly now
[Chorus]
And if you could see how much I cried
Would you still think that you did what was best for me?
And if you could see inside my mind
Maybe you’d understand this is the way that it has to be
I chose my words and I still got burned
So these days I don’t even try to fit
They instilled in me, so much anxiety
It wore me out and left me deaf and dumb
Everyone I know thinks I’m just cynical
I got so tired of walking on eggshells
How you see me no longer means a thing
I’m finally free and I make no apologies

No need for words because it's plain to see
I have a dark cloud hanging over me
Put down your gun, I'm not your enemy
I just have something to say
We need to get the hell out of this town
Make our escape before the sun goes down
And tear up the highway at the speed of sound
While this city burns to the ground
So come with me and we'll throw it all away
And burn out just like falling stars
Much too complacent to anticipate being stuck in freefall with no escape
So hold on tight as we accelerate towards the earth once again
We've had each other's backs through thick and thin
We've even had a share of suffering
Yeah there were bad times but the funny thing is I'd gladly do it all again
So come with me and we'll throw it all away
And burn out just like falling stars
If they looked inside, don't they know that they would find we're not so different after all?
Faster and faster like a speeding train
Flying down the track with broken brakes
And like the shuttle launching into space: there's just no room for mistakes
I know you're scared but you must ask yourself...
Why go on living as an empty shell?
So don't stop screaming as our ship goes down
And we're dragged back to hell where we belong
So come with me and we'll throw it all away
And burn out just like falling stars
If they looked inside, don't they know that they would find we're not so different after all?

EASY FIX - LYRICS
We were boys (maybe 11 just)
First year in a big school and all the girls were bigger than us
We still had time to figure it out
Then you said that you were so scared of dying alone
I guess your outburst just caught me unawares
Cause all I could say was "you're bringing me down"
You sold me out but I understand your reason now
Take my pictures and replace
I'm just glad that you were an easy fix
You found your reason to wake up
And I think you know but I'm proud to say
That I was never more proud than on your wedding day
Proud of the man that you'd become
I just wish that you'd come home
