Archived Demo – Give Up

I wrote this song about….. exactly a year ago. To the hour, I think. Noooope. Just looked it up. I’m one day early. It’s fine. This is a demo that I made and then proceeded to update and re-record on June 1st. Please Enjoy. (My voice got tired at the end. I’ve been trying not to write like this as much anymore.)

Everyone is getting started but they can’t see
Everyone is so absorbed now, so selfishly
I don’t even know what happened when you left
Everything it turned to darkness heaven bent

And you know how older stories tend to run
Everyone there is still hiding from everyone
In the morning I’ll look skyward and wonder why
Everything had to go this way when you said goodbye

You just can’t give up anymore
You just can’t give up close that door
You just can’t give up can’t you see
You just can’t give up so recklessly

The mood dampens everything you know
Everyone they’ve gone their own ways and left you alone
Sick and tired of everything always going wrong
Wish you’d take the easy way out you’d be long gone

You just can’t give up anymore
You just can’t give up close that door
You just can’t give up can’t you see
You just can’t give up so recklessly
You just can’t give up anymore
You just can’t give up hold that thought
You just can’t give up I’m not through with you
You just can’t give up no matter what you do

Late Night Session – Ten Percent_M_1 & Ten Percent_L_1

Here’s the Demo for ten percent. Not exactly what I was planning. It’ll probably change a lot in the revisions.

I staggered and I fell onto your grassy lawn
As my vision ebbed in and out of darkness I didn’t want
Memories of solitude like a knife in my heart
Chasing after ten percent of everything we didn’t start
My knees gave out and I fell onto your grassy lawn

Do you remember when I wrote that note and you wouldn’t take it without an explanation
Every time that we conversed I was vacant I wasn’t paying attention to you
Now look we where are
Our heads are so full of dreams lost in the stars
But I stumbled and I fell onto your grassy lawn

I’ll just stare into the stars until the streets are void of cars
I staggered and I fell

Late Night Session – Care_M_1 & Care_L_1

Here’s a new demo. Enjoy! 🙂

It’s sad what you wanted
It’s sad what you wanted
When all you wanted was to be cared for
It’s always forgotten
When you’re feeling low
And all they do is push you slowly down down

But they love you
Yes they love you
They don’t understand just how to show it

It always gets harder
The rain falls at night
We’re not built to remember those simple times
Though your heart trembles
Please don’t give in
One day you’ll see how this all ends

Cause they love you
They love you
They don’t understand just how to show it
Yes they love you
They love you
Your heart breaks right after you just sowed it

You want to stay away you say you’ve had it
All of these helpless nights they don’t make them better
They never really cared if they did they’d show it
But they care so much for you and you just don’t know it

Cause they love you
They love you
They don’t understand just how to show it
Yes they love you
They love you
They’ll ease your painful heart
