The first in a string of new songs. Next one coming right up- a gut-wrenching ballad if I do say so myself.

This one's a great one of those "fuck you" songs though

EASY

Try to un-define what you came here for
And meet me on the other side
Try to realize what you can’t ignore
And pop a pill for the ride
Sick of seeing you fall thru stories
Done watching your arms flail
As you fall to the ground like a broken angel
On an ego-trip to hell
-
And on the way down,
I swore I heard you plead
-
Please, don’t cut me
Cause I cry easy
Please don’t shut me
Down so easy
And I’m begging you
Please don’t ever say
You’ve found an easier way
-
Break away the mold of a history
To cast yourself in stone
Take what you’ve given and found for free
To pile up like a throne
Dizzy light headed feels too nice
Standing ten feet small
You shouldn’t fool a man on the same shit twice
So he’s watching you fall
-
And on the way down,
I swore I heard you plead
-
Please, don’t cut me
Cause I cry easy
Please don’t shut me
Down so easy
And I’m begging you
Please don’t ever say
You’ve found an easier way
-

And the feet shuffle out my door
Like vacant space
Cause you beat yourself in your own game
Now there’s nothing here to waste
-
Please don’t cut me
Cause I cry easy
Please don’t shut me
Down so easy
Please don’t cut me
Cause I cry easy
Please don’t shut me
Down so easy, oh
It’s so easy, oh
Its so easy-
[Chorus]

Here's a bit of music from me without any vocals. This is made for the verses of a song of mine:

This is punky- like that Green Day punky. This is not supposed to be a mopey song.

Oh Ghost
Verse 1
Maybe I’ve been wrong to tell you
Everything I said
When I repeated your confessions
Right back at you in your bed

Maybe it was cold to leave you
Naked and alone
But you kicked me out and now
You’re such a flake on the phone

Pre Chorus
It took more than a moment
When we fucked up our routine
But I took it as a compliment
If you know what I mean

Chorus
There’s a world I’m trying to walk and breathe
But all I do is choke
It feels like everywhere I go, yeah
I’m breathing in your smoke
Maybe I shouldn’t have left you lying
Without a harder chase
But it feels like
You’re just saving face

Verse 2
You can play charades with all the shadows
In my mind
Just don’t run too far with any thoughts
I let you find

You can never budge
You can think its in your needs
But the shitty thing is you can quit
Whenever you please

PC + Chorus
It took more than a moment
When we fucked up our routine
But I took it as a compliment
If you know what I mean

There’s a world I’m trying to walk and breathe
But all I do is choke
It feels like everywhere I go, yeah
I’m breathing in your smoke
Maybe I shouldn’t have left you lying
Without a harder chase
But it feels like
You’re just saving face

still toying with verses

Nice one Matt

I'm inlove with "You can play charades with all the shadows in my mind"... Whoa.

Just remembered that I have a few contributions to this thread that I haven't shared yet!

Thank you for the positive feedback

Once I get that guitar here I'm sure I'll start recording....I have a bad habit of saying that a lot though :/

It actually doesn't really have to do particularly with the breakup as it does some other things that I've been kicking around but thats certainly inspired it, in a way.

You have to record it and share it , to hear how it really sound

I will definitely work on coming up with some legitimate music for it and getting that recorded.
