Verse 1: Have we reached the point of no return? Can we extinguish before the bridge is burned? Have we reached the point of no return?

Can we extinguish before the lesson's learned? Have we reached the point of no return? Looking back in disbelieving eyes The bright blue reflects a sunset sky Looking back in disbelieving eyes Chorus: And I can't say without a doubt that you're wrong Although the evidence is strong So I'll go before you're gone Come on

This song was written in the wee hours of the morning, using challenge. I utilized the PlotSpline, structure (Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, outro), lyricloud (Lonesome and railroad stuck out especially), and the autochords for the verse (Bm-Em-F#m; used a different progression for the chorus). Ended up as kind of a countryish song and a lyrical departure for me, while still utilizing the same themes. I really like it.

Verse 1: Waking from cryosleep And I think I'm alone again Steering wheel came clean off We crashed Cut off abruptly Leave me in a blurry lucid dream White noise And I'll reject the facts Chorus: Drain me a little more I love it when you leave Hide all your sins And I'll pretend that I'm naive Verse 2: Need something biblical Can't look her in the eyes So stable I could trip and fall Voice like an earthquake And I feel like July Present but I'm absent From role call Chorus: Drain me completely Be my false messiah, please Hide all your sins And I'll pretend that I'm naive Don't tell me anything Turn off the hallway light Please leave me In the dark all night Bridge: Can I reverse a magnet? Light bulb's only half lit Leave me in the dark Back off the police line Everything is half mine Imaginary park I don't need a nametag Let me raise a white flag Sinking in quick sand Street is catching fire Prove that I'm a liar You can't, but I can

Without My Clothes 03:39

Verse 1: Jeans on the spinning chair T-shirt is over there Now my goal is gone In the burning sun Seems I'm not very smart I broke my own glass heart Spinning in the sheets Puzzle incomplete Chorus: You make me wonder sometimes If pleasure turns me blind I wanna know the way you are Without my clothes, I don't get far Verse 2: Thoughts in a maison jar Words caught in my guitar Go another round Cause I'm homeward bound Iris I'll never see Someone I'll never be Rainy afternoon Fake the sunshine soon Chorus: You make me wonder sometimes If pleasure turns me blind I wanna know the way you are Without my clothes, I don't get far *solo* Chorus: You make me wonder sometimes If pleasure turns me blind I wanna know the way you are Without my clothes, I don't get far

Chorus: Bm-G-C#dim-F#m Verse: D-KA-Em-A7 Pre-Chorus: Em-A7-D-G Em-A7 Chorus: Yesterday remains Dancing on my street Saw my watch move in reverse She thought it sounded sweet Verse 1: Back then, I thought that moving on Came like a breeze Missed oppourtunities To have you next to me Pre-Chorus: A daily cost I lived and lost And it never quite Gets easier to swallow Are you still home? Chorus: Yesterday remains Dancing on my street Saw my watch move in reverse She thought it sounded sweet Flash before my eyes Let the moment leave Don't deny proximity Living lucid dream Verse 2: Deny the time it mattered People disappear I'll take advantage Talk to you while you're still here Pre-Chorus: But if I try I just might die I'm begging on my knees To get some closure Don't say it's over Chorus: *chorus solo* Pre-Chorus: When did we change? Become estranged Cause my heart is in my hands And you're corroding The road's exploding Chorus: Yesterday remains Dancing on my street Saw my watch move in reverse She thought it sounded sweet

Inconceivably 03:18

Verse 1: If you paid for me Then I'd go Excused excuses Cover blown Chorus: I never thought that it could get so easy Inconceivably So should I try to play the part? Verse 2: I'm shaking Trying half my best Three years Sewn in a sequin dress Chorus: I never thought that it could get so easy Inconceivably So should I try to play the part? You never told me it was pointless Cause I didn't need to know Got shot down by your poison dart *solo* Chorus: I never thought that it could get so easy Inconceivably So should I try to play the part? You never told me it was pointless Cause I didn't need to know Got shot down by your poison dart

Fix It (Letting Go) 03:18

Verse 1: Well, yesterday she told me What I'd known the whole time She said it's creepy How I always seem one step behind My eyes were wide I knew the sweat was flowing freely Cause every time I try I fuck it up completely Chorus: Do I have a chance to fix it? Did I already miss it? Can't stand the thought Of letting go But I don't wanna be the One who intimidates ya So I just might Leave you alone Verse 2: I don't know how So I just sneak into the foreground My awkward pause evolved Into a lifetime letdown I think she hates me And I think, I think, I overthink Position shifting Maybe that's why I can't blink Chorus: Do I have a chance to fix it? Did I already miss it? Can't stand the thought Of letting go But I don't wanna be the One who intimidates ya So I just might Leave you alone Bridge: It never works, it never works, it never works Although I try, I get ripped off and end up hurt It never works, it never works, it never works It never works, it never works, it never works Chorus: Do I have a chance to fix it? Did I already miss it? Can't stand the thought Of letting go But I don't wanna be the One who intimidates ya So I just might Leave you alone

Verse: D-F#-G-A Pre-Chorus: Bm-F#-G-A Verse 1: And I saw you in the shadows Most obsessive girl that I know Pre-Chorus: You scare me deeply Frankly think you're really creepy Verse 2: But it comes from dedication That you steal my personal information Pre-Chorus: I never feel lonely Because I'm never the only one around Chorus: You're my stalker girl All dressed in blue You're my stalker girl Can't get away from you You're my stalker girl Put away the rope You're my stalker girl I don't have any hope *solo* Verse 3: And I saw you in my bedroom Even when you're gone, the cameras loom Pre-Chorus: Hope they don't have microphones Or every word I say won't be my own Verse 4: Please believe that I'll be faithful No need to follow me with that rifle Pre-Chorus: She fires one off in my direction I made eye contact with another woman Chorus: You're my stalker girl All dressed in blue You're my stalker girl Can't get away from you You're my stalker girl Put away the rope You're my stalker girl I don't have any hope *solo* Pre-Chorus: And I just might go insane Metaphorical and literal ball and chain Chorus: You're my stalker girl All dressed in blue You're my stalker girl Can't get away from you You're my stalker girl Put away the rope You're my stalker girl I don't have any hope
