sea leaves

[track 1]

Iron cast in company
Recalling what you think of me
We move about so effortlessly
This life ain't what it used to be

Empty days no one knows
Dreaming of the nights we drove
For hours down these lonely roads
And didn't own a care

Slipping from my memory
Those eyes you cut right into me
I swore I knew we used to be
But I don't recognize us lately though

The crowded lake the empty class
Racing stairways moonlights last
Empty bottles dangerous tolls
Distant lovers never know

[ track 2 ]

all along it took me to the wire wait
sweet kill dressed in my attire save
not me just someone that i used to be

impatient this could be a while
nevermind what used to be
tonight i'm on fire
close to grace
illuminating night
die to taste
and drug your final hour

but there's an inside
to an old part of me
but nevermind
we won't get started yet

your face is so cool
leaning on the balcony
we didn't care
of what would come to be
you're feeling scared
well it's a late night
we're unaware
put up a good fight

yeah nevermind you

I like a melody and a flow.

[track 3]

Summer's spent but these words you'll keep
Never felt far away you're only down the street
Simply stated that I need you home
In a world where we lived that was not our own
I saw you then and I want you back
But you were never mine no matter what we had

Staring lost in your photograph
Listening to the songs that we used to love
Forgetting too much why it didn't last
The sky tears and lifts up above
Over voices raised crying for no one

So so long to the bitter sweet
It's always hard to hear I wish we didn't meet
Some truth in every joke we made
Although we couldn't brave the storm from all the rain we'd saved
Downcast and November's keep
Was enough to knock me down and steady off my feet
Bliss lied only truth he told
Was that with or without you he was moving on
Hope came and it had it's chance
Only suffice to say it never made much sense
Blind saw what the deaf may speak
But it was foolish to think
It was a somber week
I don't regret a single thing we said
The only memory of you
Your scent left on my bed
So godspeed to the lonely souls
But they didn't miss what they didn't know

Summer's gone as you left me here
I was fooling my heart
It was only fair

amazing lyrics, great word choice

[track 4]

you're walking down a dangerous path
you're telling lies about your past
forgetting things you never knew
and spending time that you can't waste
you're losing friends you can't replace
and making wishes through and through

oh it turned into a sweet night
the feeling oh it's just right
you make me feel so alive
as you go

you've built a life you never lived
your secrets catching up in time
and losing words you never said
and taking all of this in stride
i hate to watch you fall from grace
it's deja vu, i knew your face

you know i hate to say goodbye
the only one who knew me well
and saw me for who i am
and held me oh so vulnerable
all your dreams your fantasies
i hope they all come true for you

oh it turned into a sweet night
the feeling oh it's just right
you make me feel so alive
as we go

[track 5]

From way up high I watch you sink
As street lights fly and say hello to me
I tell this life goodbye and what we used to be
I hold my head up high but I cannot speak

And you'll never know what you mean to me
As we're letting go embracing misery
Because saving you is like saving me
Though we saved all year we lost everything

Cold and lonely are you feeling ashamed?
Wondering why it's always ending this way
So I'll save my words and they were not clear
As you're shouting things I never did hear

Pick me up cast me to shore
We'll meet again on a brighter day
When the tide is low and there's something to say
On how we threw this all away

So call me closer push me aside
Fighting tears just pretend to be brave
It wasn't paradise but we came near
Facing every last thing you feared

hey Quickill I like this a lot. there's something special about the phrasing and vocab selection.
the structures are really creative.. the way you weave in a few well placed non-rhyming bars give them such powerful emphasis and helps the pace too.

got any audio out?

Thanks
No time for audio now but one day I'd like to put something together. Thanks again for the encouragement.
