WILD ONES 03:21
Lyrics: You've caught my eye And I don't know how to look away You've got me tongue-tied I guess this feeling's here to stay There's something about who you are That I cannot define But when you talk about your hopes and dreams They start to sound like mine I'm here for a good time, not a long time, so are you in or out Honest to god, I'm thinking you might be the one they warned me about So let's throw caution to the wind, and to our hearts be true I'm in love with the idea of you Saw you again last night As you were dancing in my dreams And I don't know if that sounds crazy Can you tell me what it means Cause I don't know how I should feel But I am sick and tired of faking If loving you's a risk that's worth the taking Then could I be a mistake worth the making I'm here for a good time, not a long time, so are you in or out Honest to god, I'm thinking you might be the one they warned me about So let's throw caution to the wind, and to our hearts be true I'm in love with the idea of you We are the wild ones This world could never satisfy We are the wild ones Life never made us feel alive I'm here for a good time, not a long time, so are you in or out Honest to god, I'm thinking you might be the one they warned me about So let's throw caution to the wind, and to our hearts be true I'm in love with the idea of you

STAY AWAKE 03:47
Lyrics: I've heard you say you're convinced it won't get better And that the place you're in right now's the only place you'll ever be I know it's hard to see the light when you feel so fucked up inside You're losing in a fight no-one can see I know you're scared to death that all your friends will leave you And maybe you believe they already have Perhaps you've told yourself they'd all be better off if you just left And that's the way that all of this should be I don't know all the pain you've carried or for how long you have bled Can't silence all the demons that rage inside your head If I can't give you what it takes to get you back up on your feet For today, could you just stay awake with me Would you stay awake with me I know your heavy heart is close to breaking And you don't have the strength to piece it back again You catch yourself just wishing for the numbness you once felt But then you curse it when it starts to creep back in I don't know all the pain you've carried or for how long you have bled Can't silence all the demons that rage inside your head If I can't give you what it takes to get you back up on your feet For today, could you just stay awake with me Would you stay awake with me Sometimes the world just doesn't make sense You wish the ground would just swallow you whole Feels like you're screaming, but no-one is listening As the despair eats away at your soul I don't know all the pain you've carried or for how long you have bled Can't silence all the demons that rage inside your head If I can't give you what it takes to get you back up on your feet For today, could you just stay awake with me Would you stay awake, please

SIREN'S SONG 02:34
Lyrics: I've had this dance before The faces change, but the steps remain the same Though I'd like to point the finger I know I'm the one to blame I've got that siren's song in my head And it won't go away The hook comes creeping in The way it has a thousand times before Repeating every line I lose myself to the melody once more Got that siren's song in my head And it won't go away I'm stuck on repeat Don't know how to get free I've rehearsed all these moves Now they're controlling me I'm hooked on the vibe I'm dying inside We can do this all night I've got nowhere to hide I've got nowhere to hide

Lyrics: Christ, I'm ready to put a bullet through my brain Is that what it takes these days To have a simple conversation with the big man All these endless questions won't stop driving me insane And I'm no closer to the answers I'm just jaded enough to get by without knowing Without understanding Why Why am I even here Why can't I seem to change myself Let alone anyone else Why tease us all with clues without conclusions And leave us feeling in the dark For signs we wouldn't recognise if we found them That's if they're even there If all I know is to give meaningless things meaning How can I trust my own deductions I've met atheists with stronger faith than mine Call me a cynic, but it's hard to keep believing That you'd hear me from the pages Of books I've not the energy to open And speak out a solution Why Why am I even here Why can't I seem to change myself Let alone anyone else Why tease us all with clues without conclusions And leave us feeling in the dark For signs we wouldn't recognise if we found them That's if they're even there I don't know what the writer found in the sanctuary That sold him on the faithfulness of God But I'm here, and poised to speak out my betrayal Give me something to hold Give me some sort of sign Just give me a reason Why Why am I even here Why can't I seem to change myself Let alone anyone else Why tease us all with clues without conclusions Why leave us feeling in the dark For signs we wouldn't recognise if we found them That's if they're even there

about

Wild Ones is a small collection of songs I've written over the past year. It's an eclectic bunch of tracks, each with a unique and different focus. I've really tried to let my creative side show on this one, and I hope you like the result.
