Condensed autobiography.
lyrics
At four my mommy told me that she loved me and she'd hold me
I never met my father- never called once, didn't bother
At six I met my step-dad, he seemed cool but he'd sure get mad
At mom then she'd start drinking, get depressed and then start screaming
Bastard! You never really loved me, all you do is argue and try to get the
last word! Can't you see it's your fault I'm drinking, crying myself to sleep at night?
Then at twelve I took the trash out, broke the door, glass slit my wrist ow
I could not stop the bleeding, mom got pissed and started screaming
"Get your blood off my floor, it's your fault you'll pay for that door" and
Who knew that my affliction would soon serve as my addiction?
And that hurt! But it made me feel so much better never lost it again
Helped me to master, all of my emotions the cutting seemed to take all my pain away
The years went by, got my head slammed in the door a few times.
But I didn't cry cause I liked the pain
She and I grew so far apart she barely knew me,
Then I grew my hair out to hide my face
At fifteen my mother wondered if she should abort my brother
Had me make her decision - life or death - I said "Keep with him"
She hated me for months, cut back on alcohol and drugs but
Took it all out on me and Dylan who was barely three then she'd get
Plastered! Disappear for weeks, left the babies by themselves or with me, I finally asked her: "What the hell is wrong with you, mom? I just can't take it I'm going to leave."
At twenty-one got a call- the house burned down, they'd lost it all and
My grandma burned alive inside my childhood house that night then
At twenty-two both brothers lived with me, hated their mother
She called me that December, talked about what she remembered
She said she had regrets, that she had failed but tried her best and
She was afraid of dying- she was bleeding, she was crying
Asked me if it was okay if she took some pills and OD'd
Had me make her decision- life or death- I said keep living
She bled to death that night in her chair- cold, alone, and frightened
As I cleaned up her mess I still felt nothing, I confess, but
Years later feelings surfaced, I feel pain and have no purpose
Other than raise my daughter- I can still be a good father
I just go through the motions, just because I lack emotions
They're somewhere deep inside me I Keep searching they keep hiding
I hide behind my smile, I sometimes laugh, and sometimes cry, but
Just know I'll never change, but that's okay I'm not deranged
I'm an actor. Going through the scenes, I've got Zoey so I know we'll
live happily ever after. Gonna be the dad that I never had and nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now

You know how you feel sometimes when you're walking outside
And the sun on your face makes you feel so alive
But you can't quite explain why you're buried alive by your pain
Then maybe you feel just like you're on top of the world
Like the time that you first me the guy, or the girl
Of your dreams but it seems that they're taken now what can you say?
You just can't turn away
Then later you feel so down, like you're ready to cry
With a smile on your face, but a tear in your eye
And it feels like you won't, but you know that you're gonna survive
You're not moving on this time- you'll be staying behind
Cause you know in your heart that they're one of a kind
If you wait, maybe fate will be great; will they waste your time?
You grit your teeth and try
It's hard to explain what's on your mind
What's keeping you down, what's keeping you alive
They won't understand, they probably don't care
They don't even notice that you're even there
It's hard to explain what's on your mind
Then later you feel let down, and you're ready to go
Like you're driving to work, and you're stuck in the snow
So it feels like the harder you work, then the harder you'll cry
And somehow it feels just like you've been falling apart
Like the blood in your veins can't get back to your heart
Like a dream; you can run, you can scream, but you just can't hide
You wanna turn that wheel, and slide
It's hard to explain what's on your mind
What's keeping you down, what's eating you alive
They won't understand, they probably don't care
They don't even notice the clothes that you wear
But somehow they're still right by your side
(It's hard to explain what's on your mind)
I just can't explain what's on my mind
(It's hard to explain what's on your mind)
What I once was is trapped inside
(It's hard to explain what's on your mind)
I can't escape, so I'll just hide
(It's hard to explain what's on your mind)
My youthful innocence has died

Just when I think she's out of reach
She turns and looks right back at me
And runs her fingers through her hair
And makes eye-contact with me
The sun, the rain, the joy, the pain
The things that used to matter
Just fade away- to shades of gray
If I could only have her!
I want you out of my head, in my bed
You were oh so perfect
There's nothing left to be said, in the end
You were oh so worth it
Now as I stare at earth from space
Forgot my friends and all my things
Everything I am belongs to you
Please tell me what can I do?
The sun, the rain, the joy, the pain
The things that seemed like issues
Just fade away, to shades of gray
Each time I get to kiss you
I want you out of my head, in my bed
You were oh so perfect
There's nothing left to be said, in the end
You were oh so worth it
Now and then, your photographs will take me back to when
we had such simple hopes and fantasies
I breathe you in, your scent will always bring be back again
and now you're frozen in my memories
I want you out of my head, in my bed
You were oh so perfect
There's nothing left to be said, in the end
You were oh so worth it
You were oh so perfect
You were oh so perfect

Parallels (2020 Master)

We fit together like a spider and its prey
I know she'll get me as I'm struggling to get away
My life seems so complete till she sucks it out of me
The web's so tangled now I know I'll never get away
She's a parallel, and we're not faring well
She's a parallel to me
We're like two magnets with the same polarity
I'd move in closer but it's pushing her away from me
She seems at arm's length when she's right next to me
And she's attracted to exactly what she doesn't need
She's a parallel, and we're not faring well
Cause she's a parallel to me
And she's a parallel, and she's not faring well
And she's a parallel to me
It's like I'm copper and she's pure electricity
We get together and the sparks fly endlessly
When we reach our extremes, and she burns a hole through me
She keeps on going even knowing that she's killing me
She's a parallel, and we're not faring well
She's a parallel to me
And she's a parallel (Always waiting)
We're not faring well (There's no mistaking)
She's a parallel to me (She's not for me)

Well I know I'm just a boy, I try my best to just enjoy my time
I guess I'd just annoy a girl like you
Well I knew I'd met my match when I met you- You're such a catch
What can I do? I'm just infatuated by you.
Then every day seems like it's going wrong, oh oh
And every nightmare seems so long, yeah yeah yeah
And then you can't afford to date without the money from the
job you hate, and then you're stuck at work too late
You're wondering what went wrong, you say you're sorry, but you can't
relate, and so you stay inside and pray that special someone calls
yeah yeah yeah
Well now I'm jaded, just detached. I fucking hate it, but relax,
I'm just frustrated, cut me slack I'm crazy for you
So now how could I just invest my time in you? I'm such a mess.
I'm so confused, and just depressed, I'm waiting for you
Then every day seems like it's going wrong, oh oh
And every nightmare seems so long, yeah yeah yeah
And then you can't afford to date without the money from the
job you hate, and then you're stuck at work too late
You're wondering what went wrong, you say you're sorry, but you can't
relate, and so you stay inside and pray that special someone calls
Sometimes I wonder what I'm even waiting for
Until I look her in the eyes
You never know just what you'll find behind fate's door
And she'll never know what this feels like!
And then you can't afford to date without the money from the
job you hate, and then you're stuck at work too late
You're wondering what went wrong, you say you're sorry, but you can't
relate, and so you stay inside and pray that special someone calls
yeah yeah yeah

Daniel Eischeid Edmond, Oklahoma
Nirvana, Weezer, Ozma influenced, melodic, power pop-rock music. Strong melodies, hooks, and good harmony-driven rock. My personal acoustic demos I record on the spot, to give to my band (Starry Skies) to work up drum and bass and guitar tracks for. Some make it to our band's lineup, some don't. They sound very different when finished. Now, full band (solo) demos as well! Please enjoy. ... more
