Before I share my album, I've finally came to a decision about what I should call myself. I've been picking here and there on names, but I finally came up with one. It's called "FLIP", which stands for "Forever Live In Peace". :)
Now here is my 4th album called "This Time". I started writing it back in January. I gave it the name because I was starting to realize reality a bit more, seeing things 'a bit different this time'.
--
The first song off the album is called "Little Thing" and it's about how my heart just wants peace and harmony in life without all the difficulties that we all get. The instruments used are an acoustic guitar, vocals, bass guitar, some uke here and there, and some xylophone chords.
Little Thing
Verse 1:
Life is so silly
I can't play its game
It makes me feel dizzy
It hurts my brain
Chorus:
I got this little thing in me
That sings a melody
It's wanting peace and sweet harmony
Verse 2:
Chemicals swirl inside of me
I buckled and collasped
I'm feeling super crazy
I'm going through a relaspe
Chorus:
I got this little thing in me
That sings a melody
It's wanting peace and sweet harmony
Verse 3:
Wrapped up in thoughts
I can't un-tie them
I even tried to fought
But I didn't win
Chorus:
I got this little thing in me
That sings a melody
It's wanting peace and sweet harmony
----------------------------------------------
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about California. I just hate living here and I want to move out of this state. I've been to Cali twice and when I'm there, it feels like home. Instruments used are a uke, vocals, acoustic guitar, and drums.
California On My Mind
Verse 1:
I strum my uke out on this calm beach
I feel the sun crawling up my cheeks
It's such a beautiful Cali day
I didn't know what to say
I sang to the tunes of birds sailing along
They chirped to the strums of my song
I looked up into the sky
And saw Cali's blue eyes
Chorus:
California on my mind
I rest my head on this beautiful sunshine
Home life, please understand
California is all I have planned
Oh California
You're on my mind
Verse 2:
Love and peace is what I dream
Hippie paradise is all I need
I get to be able to express my art
I'm able to sing straight from my heart
New York is full of passion and glory
But honestly, it isn't the right thing for me
So sorry, home, I'm gonna be late
I'm flying out to Cali on Thursday
Chorus:
California on my mind
I rest my head on this beautiful sunshine
Home life, please understand
California is all I have planned
Oh California
You're on my mind
Bridge:
California, oh golden state
You gotta understand I love you that way
Heart of the city, San Fran, you got me through
This is why I always think of you
La la la California
Beautiful you
Chorus:
California on my mind
I rest my head on this beautiful sunshine
Home life, please understand
California is all I have planned
Oh California
You're on my mind
----------------------------------------------
Relationships can be so tough. The song explains it all. Instruments used are a piano, vocals, rhodes, tambourine, and a little drums.
Forever I Lay
Verse 1:
Look at what's in my hands
Its what you did with me and my plans
See what you've done to me
It's something bad, so hard to believe
Pre-Chorus:
I just can't focus anymore
My brain has found the open door
I just can't write anymore
My heart has been down on the floor
Chorus
Forever I speak
Of my harmony
Forever I know
That you're gonna go
Forever I cry
Of your painful lies
Forever I lay
In my mistakes of you
Verse 2:
Eat what you've chewed up
It's this silly game of what I call love
Step on what I've gone through
It's what I used to always tell you-hoo
Pre-Chorus:
I just can't focus anymore
My brain has found the open door
I just can't write anymore
My heart has been down on the floor
Chorus
Forever I speak
Of my harmony
Forever I know
That you're gonna go
Forever I cry
Of your painful lies
Forever I lay
In my mistakes of you
Bridge:
I can't pick up
The things I feel
I can't stand up
To what is real
Ohh la la la la
(x3)
Chorus
Forever I speak
Of my harmony
Forever I know
That you're gonna go
Forever I cry
Of your painful lies
Forever I lay
In my mistakes of you
-----------------------------------------------
I've been enjoying writing some dark stuff cuz it's mysterious and I'm able to do anything with it. This was just some poetry I had written and I turned it into a song. Instruments used are a 12 string electric guitar, drums, rhodes, atmosphere synths, and vocals.
I'm Here Alone
Intro:
Oh oh oh whoa (x2)
Verse 1:
I know what you're telling me is real
I'm not blind, I've taken your deal
You told me what's inside of you
I got that open clue
I ran off to the moon
And sat there with my thoughts on the bloom
I've seen things so far away
It's like my world is out of place
Pre-Chorus:
My world is out of ability
It can't stand still
I just can't go through reality
Without you
Chorus:
I'm here alone
Just let me cry
(let me cry)
I'm here alone
Just let me die
(let me die)
Verse 2:
I've cried all your tears
They tore through tough as a fear
You sit there and wonder why
I couldn't even say goodbye
You bleed every night
Your eyes are blistered in sight
I know this is true
I see it through the dark blue moon
Pre-Chorus:
My world is out of ability
It can't stand still
I just can't go through reality
Without you
Chorus:
I'm here alone
Just let me cry
(let me cry)
I'm here alone
Just let me die
(let me die)
Bridge:
I don't know where to go
I lost my soul on the roll
It's sitting on the moon
Singing songs about me and you
Oh oh oh
I lost track of time
I was busy looking through my mind
I only found pictures of you and me
Singing in such harmony
Oh oh oh
Chorus:
I'm here alone
Just let me cry
(let me cry)
I'm here alone
Just let me die
(let me die)
Outro:
I flew up to the sky
Just hoping you'd stop by
I know it's been tough
But c'mon
Let's go have some fun
---------------------------------------------------
This was the most emotional song I've ever written. I know you guys know most of my past cuz I've kinda explained it. But I just wanted to write about it one night. It was emotional shit for me. I wanted to put this on the album because it fitted in. Instruments used are strings, vocals, and an acoustic guitar.
Lost It
Intro:
*slow strumming of guitar*
Verse 1:
I sing songs about my life
It's full of integrity and explosive imagery
But I didn't care
About going to school
I've always been the weirdo
People always saw me, calling me a geek
No matter who I was
No one accepted me
I spent my days sitting alone
I'd watch for the sun and think about the fun
I would've had
If I were to even care
Pre-Chorus:
Then I saw the look in their eyes
My parents have always tried to keep me so alive
Their tears have drowned me in my lies
Chorus:
I've been watching the blood
Drip down from my skin
I've been screaming in pain
Letting depression win
I've lost it
I really have
Verse 2:
I sing songs about my friends
We acted like fools, thinkin' we're so cool
We did whatever was fun
We didn't give a damn
My dreams always shouted loud
They told me this place couldn't live without my face
If only that was the story
I'd actually listen
I've realized that life ain't so good
I didn't have a clue and I always never knew
About which way to go
I was stuck on this road
Pre-Chorus:
Then I saw the look in her eyes
My sister started to cry when I told her I wanted to die
Her tears have killed me in my cries
Chorus:
I've tried smoking cigarettes
Just when I was 13
I've tried commiting death
So that I could be free
I've lost it
I really have
Bridge:
My life has drifted away
Can't grab it back
It's out of my reach
It won't land in my hands
....I just don't know anymore
Oh oh ohhh
Outro:
All I ever wanted was just
Peace and Love
-----------------------------------------------
This is for all the heartbroken out there. Bet you feel this whenever someone hurts you so bad. Instruments used are piano, electric guitar, bass guitar, vocals, acoustic guitar, and drums.
Sweet Tooth For Revenge
Verse 1:
Ever since you stabbed me in the back
My heart bled and sprawled into black
I couldn't believe what you did to me
I'll come back with a plan up my sleeve
See this scary weapon that's so torn apart
It's been loaded with my broken heart
I've thrown in some glitter and some old rust
Just watch your dreams finally turn into dust
Pre-Chorus:
Nothing is making me
Turn around
I'm not coming back to you
That's no doubt
Chorus:
I've got this sweet tooth for revenge
It's something I can't comprehend
It's like this candy in my mouth
I don't want to spit it out
I've got this sweet tooth for revenge
It's something that wouldn't blend
Thanks for hurting me just so bad
This is what drove me so mad
Sweet tooth for revenge!
Sweet tooth for revenge!
Post-Chorus:
Bam bam bam bam
That's the sound of sweet revenge
Boom boom boom boom
This is what you deserve, you fool
Verse 2:
Don't even try to pull off that shitty act
I'm not surprised to see your fake plan of attack
Through the look of your little denial eyes
You're scared to look what's up in the skies
I've been through heaven, earth, and hell
And you tell me I should've fell?
Look at the stupid looks on your face
Tell me where that's going, you shitty fake
Pre-Chorus:
Nothing is making me
Turn around
I'm not coming back to you
That's no doubt
Chorus:
I've got this sweet tooth for revenge
It's something I can't comprehend
It's like this candy in my mouth
I don't want to spit it out
I've got this sweet tooth for revenge
It's something that wouldn't blend
Thanks for hurting me just so bad
This is what drove me so mad
Sweet tooth for revenge!
Sweet tooth for revenge!
Post-Chorus:
Bam bam bam bam
That's the sound of sweet revenge
Boom boom boom boom
This is what you deserve, you fool
Bridge:
I wasn't born to be a follower
I wasn't raised to be fake
I wasn't meant to be a prowler
Look what you did to my face
I wasn't supposed to be involved
I wasn't always some trouble-maker
I wasn't wanting to always bawl
You are such a heart-breaker
Now.......*CLAP*
-guitar solo during chorus-
Chorus:
I've got this sweet tooth for revenge
It's something I can't comprehend
It's like this candy in my mouth
I don't want to spit it out
I've got this sweet tooth for revenge
It's something that wouldn't blend
Thanks for hurting me just so bad
This is what drove me so mad
Sweet tooth for revenge!
Sweet tooth for revenge!
-------------------------------------------
Title track. It's about just someone leaving me for someone else and all that shit. Instruments used are electric guitar, bass guitar, piano, drums, vocals, and acoustic guitar.
This Time
Verse 1:
You say you love me
But then you go
And run off with her
Like I wouldn't know
That smile on your face
It's full of lies
And it snakes back in
Right before my eyes
Chorus:
This time running through
I never thought it would be you
But now I know what to do
Whoa whoa whoa
This time coming with no glee
I always thought you'd lie to me
But now I just need an apology
(is that too much?)
Verse 2:
Those words you said
They weren't planned
Until you ran off
I was pretty mad
All those gifts and songs
I guess they're trash
I wouldn't have thought
You'd be like the last
Chorus:
This time running through
I never thought it would be you
But now I know what to do
Whoa whoa whoa
This time coming with no glee
I always thought you'd lie to me
But now I just need an apology
(is that too much?)
-piano solo-
Chorus (x2):
This time running through
I never thought it would be you
But now I know what to do
Whoa whoa whoa
This time coming with no glee

But now I just need an apology
Outro:
Is that too much?

When We Were Young
Verse 1:
When we were young
We always stayed up late
We didn't care what was fun
We always had our place
I always held your hand
You would hold mine
I had always made some plan
And with me you were just fine
Pre-Chorus:
But now we've grown up
And I'm always out of luck
You're searching for your answers
And I'm stuck in your life's questions
Chorus:
When we were young
When we were strong
When we had fun
When we had nothin' wrong
I had always loved you
You helped me make it through
When we were young
When we were in love
Verse 2:
When we were young
We didn't know good
We were so dumb
We lived life like we would
Every single starry night
I'd dream of our place
Everything was right
But I just needed your face
Pre-Chorus:
But now we've grown up
And I'm always out of luck
You're searching for your answers
And I'm stuck in your life's questions
Chorus:
When we were young
When we were strong
When we had fun
When we had nothin' wrong
I had always loved you
You helped me make it through
When we were young
When we were in love
Bridge:
When we were young
La la la la la la di daaa
Outro:
