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

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

about

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
