Ostracized

Nothing much to say before this one. Minus that I should probably put up videos with the songs now.

Chips are falling From the sky
As I make my Cookie dough pie
I set the table Turn on the TV
Seems like the perfect time But no one's with me

Chorus
What did I do?
Where did I go wrong?
What is this thing
That I've become
I've been ostracized
And pushed aside
Demoralized
No one looks in my eyes

Pop the bottle And chug it down
I hear cheers in the background
Voices getting louder Sounding like a riot
But the videos out of time And all goes quiet

Chorus



The end?

The Widowed

I wrote this song with a ukulele in my hands. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the chords were but I do have a general idea of how the vocal melody went (not that I could at all pull it off...but, well, you know).

The Widowed
The nights are long but the debt is paid
One last chance for me to relay
This message I've been given

I'm stuck on the truth with what we've been through
Now I just need someway to prove
So that I may be forgiven

Can't stop won't stop until you hear what I've got to say
Please here it through my mistakes

I love you miss you; eyes left undry
Just to tell you no tear left uncried
I can't stop relivin

So far away with all this mistrust
No one left here for me to lust
I need you to fill in

Can't stop won't stop until you hear what I've got to say
Please here it through my mistakes

I left you without a call or a letter
and Nothing siad would make this better
But I hope you will uncover
The reason behind this my lover
I'm fairly certain the chords were somethings along the lines of:
Verse:
|F|G|C|G|
|Dm-Am|Em-Am|
Chorus:
A Cluster of Dm/Em and Majors ;)

Feelings that I'm Feeling

I sat for 45 minutes in front of my dorm room door thinking when all of a sudden this thought popped into my brain, I ran like a tiny squirrel who had just seen the tastiest nut on the other side of a playground, scampering down slides, over swingsets, across those silly spring animal things (you know what I'm talking about) to get exactly what he desires. Bear in mind this was 7:40 in the morning, so my roommate was still passed out.

Feelings that I'm Feeling
When the sun comes over the horizon
Do you see my face a' smilin'
Cuz I see yours, Yeah I see yours

What do I do in the mornin'
Too many days spent yearnin'
Just to be yours, Yeah to be yours (with these)

Chorus
Feelings...
imaginary little feelings
So real to me
But no one else believes
These....
little imaginary
Feelings hiding deep
Inside me (/Chorus end)

Where can I find the reason
For these feelings that I'm feeling
Down in my core, Deep in my core

Who was meant to understand
This random act of circumstance
I wish I knew...I wish it was you

Chorus

Why does this always happen to be
The bitter end to this story
Left wanting more, Left with nothing more

Because I'm without you
And you aren't sure who
I really am inside
This man that I try to hide (with these)

Chorus

(Faster)
Oh wait did you look me in the eyes
Hands brush, feet touch my stomach cannot lie
Its hard to breath, I cannot see (because of these)

Chorus

Capo-ed at the 3
Verse:
|C-G|D|
|C-F|C|
|G|Am|

Chorus:
|C|Em-Asus|x3
|G-D|C|

Pre-Chorus Thing:
|C|G|D|F|
PS. This has to be the main reason for my desire to sing now. It is probably my favorite song...like ever.

Alex's Song (Friendship)

I wrote this song for a good friend of mine that is so very far away today. (I wrote it last weekend)


Friendship
The years we've spent together,
They've felt like forever and
I don't know what to say about it all
I'll try to write it down to
Turn that frown upside down
But my pen has slowed to a crawl

We've laughed and we've cried
Sometimes things just
Don't seem right
but our friendship has lasted
We won't ever try to trash it
'Cause true friends never falter
There's no need for me to halt here (Shoulda been hur)

From frisbee trowin to guitar jammin
There's so many things that I've been planning
To say but I'm afraid I will fall
Short on anything that matters most, things we cannot toat to
you've never failed to answer my calls

We've laughed and we've cried
Sometimes things just
Don't seem right
but our friendship has lasted
We won't ever try to trash it
'Cause true friends never falter
There's no need for me to halt here

We've had our fights
Wrong or right
We've shot on sight
But without spite
We will stay tight
No more contrite
This will incite
A slight delight
For you to know
We will be
Alright

We've laughed and we've cried
Sometimes things just
Don't seem right
but our friendship has lasted
We won't ever try to trash it
'Cause true friends never falter
There's no need for me to halt here.

Chords:
Capoed 2nd Fret
Verse:
|E|A-B|E|A,B-C#m|C#m|
Chorus:
|F#m-G#m|(x2)
|C#m|E-A|B|A-E
(E chord takes you into next verse set)

Bridge:
|G|D|C|

Then last chorus was supposed to be:
|Am-Bm|(x2)
|Em|G-C|D|A-C|

Last December

I wrote this song last December while at a mountain house. The song is pretty self-explanatory (and not very good). I actually think this is my first real attempt at a song... depending on how you define "real".

I won't bother writing down chords other than to say its in the key of G and extremely lazily (or simply) done.

Don't forget Cory
To remind me
to remind your parents
to stop by the lodge
to pick up my mp3 player
to pick up my beanie hat

Don't forget Cory
to send me the link
to the video a---bout (couldn't think of enough syllables)
the elevator
and the squeaky squea

I Dream of You

I Dream Of You

When Every night comes around
and I think I hear a sound
I know its you, I know that its you
So I rush to my bed
and I think of what you said
Will I get to see, will I now get to see?

[Chorus]

Could we be good again
Cuz whenever I think of then
my legs go numb, my legs they go numb
All the memories that I cherish
All the times that we kissed
I can't forget, I will never forget

[Chorus]

Running out to the shore
hoping for something more
Nothing comes I'm alone, Nothing comes now I'm alone
I'm sorry to leave my lament
But it's everything that I sent
You never replied, no you never reply

[Chorus]

(Possible end chorus)
So I close my eyes
Getting some sleep tonight
One day I'll be with you
