about

Hey all!

Just to let you know: Although iTunes and Amazon are more often used, this site is just as secure. Plus, unlike the other digital distributors, this site takes no cut of the money, so all proceeds go directly to me! Just something to think about!

Thanks for listening! Much love,
Alex

Track Name: Just...Again
I’m no one special
But I lie awake at night

Who am I? Well…
I can’t sleep without a light

We haven’t met before
Still you burn so bright

Knowing I can’t have you
This river, it’s more than wide

What’s my name?
It’s hard to know what’s right

I need you more than ever
Yet these words are more than trite

It’s 2 A.M.
I’m going to bed
I wish you were here
Nothing more to be said

I’ll stay here
Capture me near

Keep me in your pocket
I won’t stop it
This can’t amount to nothing
I won’t do a thing because I’m so into you
Track Name: The Last October
I’m damaged
I’m broken because of you
And I’m not
No I can’t say I blame you

You’ve moved on
To some place I can’t go
I can’t
No, I can’t follow

But I’ve gotta contend
Dear god, I’m content
Without you

The way I see
You remind me of things I don’t know
Pull me up
When I hit my all time low

I don’t know where we went
But god, I’m not content
Without you
Track Name: Stationary
I’ll be the rock that holds you in place
I’ll be the one who puts a smile upon your face
I’ll be the one who holds you
I’ll be the whale you cling to
I’ll be the man on every base

But I could never be the one who loves you
No not the way that you are asking me to
‘Cause I am not the man you’ve made me out to be
I think that is pretty plain to see

I’ll be your caffeine when you tire
I’ll light your early morning fire
I’ll be there when you’re feeling sick
I’ll be the wax, you’ll be the wick
I’ll be the object of your desire

But I could never be the one who loves you
No not the way that you are asking me to
‘Cause I am not the man you’ve made me out to be
I think that is pretty plain to see

But I could never be the one who loves you
No not the way that you are asking me to
‘Cause baby I will only ever be me
And I won’t change, change you see
I won’t change, you can’t change, me
Track Name: Green
The fire, it burns so, so green
Like your eyes
You snap my mind like a twig

These walls, they would talk if they could
I’d spill my guts if I didn’t feel as if I should
I should shut my mouth

I know you’ll listen when I’m gone…

I said where were you, when I needed you
Where were you when I needed someone to hold on to
Where were you when I needed you

If you haven’t noticed, I’m not okay
I’d like to know you weren’t doing so well without me
I’ll keep telling myself that
What I don’t know can’t hurt me
And I’ll get by

I’ve never tried more
You’ve never tried
So I guess I’m just
Wasting my time
Track Name: Stand Up, Step Back
I’m way too nostalgic
I can’t let things go
I’m never satisfied where I am

I can’t stand to change
I don’t want to grow
I never quite want to stay

Until I can’t stand
Until I give way

I’m way too nostalgic
I can let it show
I’m justified where I am

I have these moments
I lie alone
I lie for no reason at all

Not satisfied
But I know why
I want to stay the same
Never change

So will you take me as I am?
All in all, tell me
Will you take me
Though I am who I am?

Because I’d take you any day
Fresh or dirty, any way
Name the price, I’d always pay
I’d take you any way

No you can’t say love and make it all okay

And I’d be down just to be down
I’d break my own heart
To fall apart
Track Name: With A Capital 'T'
You make me brighter colours
No I’m not awake, I’m still dreaming of you
You’re not like the others
I’ll lay awake, I’m just thinking of you

I swear I’ll let this go
But right now it’s too soon to show
The pretense that I’m fine and nothing is wrong anymore
I’ll pretend that I’m fine and nothing is wrong anymore

You don’t know what you do to me
When you look through those eyes at me
You don’t know what you do to me
When you smile through your teeth at me

Amazing,
Your grace never fades away

And I, won’t let you cry
‘Cause I will be by your side

You make me brighter colours
You’re not like the others
Someday I’ll be your lover
Someday soon
Track Name: Cleanser
I knew that this would happen, yet still I tried

I was told I’d be showered in good luck
Well this cleanser has been anything but

Just know, I’m the reason
You spent those nights alone
Waiting for me to come home
Just know, I’m the reason
You never thought you’d ever felt so cold

And nothing is about me
‘Cause I won’t revolve around you
I hope now you know how it feels
To have nothing to hold on to

I loved you once, but no more
So hold on
Track Name: Hazel Eyes
Metal wings
See through panes of plastic
All I think about is you
All I think about is you

The sun breaks through
An endless blue
Still, all I think about is you
All I think about is you

I’m reaching for you
But you can’t see
I’m lying next to you
But you can’t sleep
I am longing for you
But you don’t feel me, you don’t feel me

I will leave today
With so much left to say
Still, all I think about is you
All I think about is you

Metal wings
See through panes of plastic
I just need this distance from you
Or all I’ll think about is you
Track Name: Lullaby For Trouble (Reprise)
And you can’t tell the truth
But for god's sake, let me through

Even the sweetest sight can hide a bitter taste
Even the sun is bright somewhere once a day
Even a loving bite can leave you in pain

You’re the mercury in my brain
You’re the slow poison in my veins
