about

The First Song

not sure how i feel about the demon part...

lyrics

"I think I'm almost out of PA, I'm getting pretty good at this guitar thing too and I think soon enough I'll be able to take these lyrics I came up with on the guitar with these notes I have on the guitar. I've never learned or written any songs before and I think before I do I'm just gonna make some of my own..."

I am but a boy
Who doesn't even have a name of his own

So I'm going somewhere else
I'm going somewhere new
I want to know who's bones have been buried deep inside my skin
So Adeline please, don't forget me

I am but a coward
Who couldn't even face his love last night
So I'm going somewhere else
I'm going somewhere new
I want to meet the demons that live inside my head

So here's the first song I wrote for you
I hope it puts you to sleep
I'm making a whole bunch of songs for you that you can
Listen by the sea
Look out across the waves and you can think of
I hope these songs they sound okay and you can feel happy
