wolves 2.0

hello, it's been a while. i hate to see you suffocating on a broken smile. pardon me, do i believe what i see? it's been smiling its ugly grin right in front of me. goodbye, after all this time, where everything you said to me was nothing more than a silly lie. so long, i'm trying to move on, but it's been so hard knowing all that you did me wrong.
i'll never know what it's like to be known; feed me to the wolves and suffocate my soul. drag me down that hole so i'll never know.
hello, it's me again; i keep running back it's like an addiction. goodbye. it's hard to stay satisfied, but i'll be back again just like the last time.
i'll never know what it's like to be known; feed me to the wolves and suffocate my soul. drag me down that hole so i'll never know what it's like to feel whole. free my soul. take it slow, help me get this right; show me to the light and lead me through the night. tell me everything's alright. everything's alright.

i lost my head. i don't know where it went, and all i ever think about anymore is where i'd rather be, instead of all of the wonderful things surrounding me. i'm wearing thin. i'll lock myself in my room again. i'll write more songs about you instead of all of the things that make me feel more like myself. it's all i ever do anymore; it's all i've ever done. and to think, i wonder why it's hard to sleep at night. and i wonder why it's hard to sleep at night.
i've been waiting for someone like you.
we talk endlessly and i smile hoping you'll see our potential, realizing the way this needs to be.
i've been waiting for someone like you.
rest in peace robin williams, you will never be forgotten.

glory of the snow [demo]
03:27
|
|||
|
when the winter comes and you can't forget all those times in your room next to the fireplace; we would kiss and laugh, talk about our friends and reminisce on that day - picking flowers in may. when it all comes down and blows up in your face you'll wish you'd never known all that we had shown. it's the glory of the snow that makes us feel this way, so where did you go?
now that the winter's here and you still regret the fact that we had ever met, you'll change your hair, take out your fireplace, and you'll disappear without a trace. you'll find someone new just to hold your hand and i'll be struggling to be the better man. it's the glory of the snow that makes us feel this way, so where did you go? no one knows, let the record show you held your own. where did you go? i don't want to know, i just wanted to show you i'm on my own. where have you been? under my skin? i never wanted to but i let you in. i'm wearing thin, where have you been? it's been another year and my head still spins.
eric and donna had one of the most devastating break-ups known to mankind and television history, so only fitting their argument should be sampled in this break up song.

something [demo]
06:27
|

it's all in my head, it's left me here dead. it's a terrible way to go out, and i hate to admit it, but you're all to blame. you're cautiously leaving and it's left me here grieving. why can't i just stop thinking? shut off my dark dreaming? i just want to get over you. i just want to forget that you used to make me feel like i was something. i guess now i'm nothing. what i used to feel was something, but now i'm just hurting. so why am i still so caught up on you? why do i think so much about you? why am i still so lost on what to do to get over you?
i've been a mess since you left me, and now i'm all alone.

breathe in every word and second, because one day you'll be dying to have it all back again. you probably forgot me, but i miss you every day. our hearts still beat the same, and that will never change.
all you need is the right one to love, and all you need is substance to feel. all you need is someone to hold on to, and all you need is the right kind of love.
jenny never deserved the love forrest gave to her, but sometimes we're the jenny, and sometimes we're the forrest, whether we understand the circumstances or not. love is complicated, and it will never be felt or understood the same by anyone for as long as mankind exists.

someday [demo]
05:54
|
|||
|
you told me that you would always love me and that we could be happy, but it was all a lie. so you showed me that it was never meant to be; tried changing all the things about me that make me who i am. one day, you'll realize the mistakes you made and by then it'll be too late to rectify with me or yourself. someday i'll forget all the things you said that made me feel so bad about the way i am.
remember when you said you'd stay? i still think about it every day. if you can't even love yourself, how do you expect to love anyone else? i'll spend my days alone in bed replaying every word you said. it's hard to want to wake up when your life feels so misled through a shade tinted red and you're trapped inside of your head.
today i woke up feeling okay, thought maybe today would be the day i'd keep you off of my mind. okay, maybe today isn't the day. i'm feeling like running away from everything in my life
remember when you said you'd stay? i think i'm better off anyway. if you can't even promise me, then i think it's better off if you leave. i'll spend my days loving myself since no one else ever will, but it's hard to love myself through all the pain that you've instilled, and my guts that you've spilled. i hope you got your fill.
so i hope you got your fill, but we both know you never will. you caught me with my guard down, then you came in for the kill. so i hope you got your fix, bad intentions, 666. they say the devil herself manipulates the way you think. so i hope you got your taste past thrill seeker's second base. you said that you loved me but you lied right to my face.

almond acacias [demo]
03:55
|
|||
|
it's time to let the past die, kill it if you have to. it's the only way we'll be exactly what we're meant to, because the past only holds us back.
let yourself out, even for a minute. just let yourself out, i swear that you need it, because the past only holds you back when you cling to what you know. you need to learn when to let go when you're so caught up in your own head.
it's time to let go of all that you know. it's time to let go, take yourself home

maybe i miss the sound of your voice because you said things that no one ever did, and maybe i miss the color in your eyes because you looked at me like no one ever could. well, maybe i miss your smile. your smile used to make me happy. well, maybe i don't miss you anymore, i just miss having somebody to love. maybe i miss having someone to love.
i'm not everything i wanted to be, but i'm still learning
maybe i don't love you anymore, but i still love the thought of what we used to be, and maybe i don't miss you anymore, but i miss the way you made me feel. maybe i'm not who i used to be, but that's a good thing, because maybe i won't miss you anymore, but i'll miss having somebody to love. so maybe i'll miss having someone to love. you used to complete me. my mind's still sinking. i'm not where i want to be.
it's okay to miss people and understand why you shouldn't at the same time. it's okay to miss the past from time to time while understanding what you need to learn from it. these are parts of our lives that mean something to us, don't diminish the meaning and chalk it up to growth.

sunflower [demo]
06:15

infinity never felt like anything other than impossibility until i found myself within her company. forever seemed to be more than just imaginary. at least to me, it used to be.
when i'm feeling all alone, i'll think of you. wouldn't you want me to? it's all i ever do. i miss when i wasn't falling apart, because i'm falling apart from your change of heart. it happened from the start. when i feel all alone, i reflect on you and all the things we'd do until you found someone new. when i'm falling from that edge, i'll think of you. wouldn't you want me to? it's the last thing i'll do.
sunflower, you're in my head. sunflower, you left me in your bed. sunflower, you make me wish that i was dead.

auspicious beginnings
01:51
|
|||
|
are you cold? i don't know if you'd be particularly interested in hearing anything about me; most of it doesn't add up to much that i can relate as a way of life that you'd approve of. i move around a lot; not because i'm looking for anything, really, but it's because i'm getting away from things that get bad if i stay. auspicious beginnings, you know what i mean? i'm trying to imagine you're half of this conversations. my feeling is, i don't know that if you could talk we wouldn't be talking. that's pretty much the way that it got to be before i left. are you alright?

when i look into your eyes, i see the next three years of my life staring right back into mine. i lost track of the time. i'd love to stare for just a bit longer because they make me want to be a better version of me, but i can't do a goddamn thing right. i'd love it if you'd stay, even just for a while, because in your absence i feel so numb. even so, i find myself wandering back to where i think you should be; where i need you to be, with me.
wouldn't you mind it, if i could stay for a while? yeah, i was thinking forever, so that we can pass the time. wouldn't i mind it, if i could hold your hand? tell me all your plans so i can spend my time with you.
now when i look in your eyes, all i see is blue. where did my life go? probably off with "i don't love you anymore."
sometimes you think you'll be together forever. sometimes forever means forever. sometimes forever means just a little while. only one thing remains the same; only YOU will always be there for you. please, for the love of god, learn to love yourself first.
