I'm playin' it back, I'm playin' it back. I'm playin' it back, I'm playin' it back. I'm playin' it back, so many things I wish I could have said to you then. Mull it over, and Life takes over. I'm on a new track, discovering things I wish I had in the beginning. Now I'm wiser, a light shines through my visor. I'm not asking too much - I know I'll never be the same again! I wanna be in love, not just for the heartache, not just for my heart to break, hug me 'till your arms shake. I wanna see the day break! And not an endless escape! I wanna see you run in place, when no one's around. So I keep playin' it back, playin' it back. I'm playin' it back, playin' it back. With less time, less time, less time. There's less time, you've got me otherwise. You're stuck in a rut, I'll be right here. For it stands I've been here all along. Mull it over, when life takes over. When I'm getting quiet I pray for every single chance I had to stay, No more time to waste! I'm angry, it's time to make it happen. I know I'll never be the same again. I know I'll never be the same again. I know I'll never be the same, again. I know I'll never be the same, again.

Wanna Die? 04:13
lyrics
buy track
Running from nothing I can explain, What do I change? Everybody's run away... Don't think about it, I'm ready for the big time. If only you'd realize, then we could have a good night. It always hurts the most to learn, you don't get the pleasure before the burn...maybe it's time! I'm not gunna play this up until I start to believe in something I know's a lie, Maybe you're right, maybe it's time, but being here it takes up all my time. I'm not alone, this I know for sure, I can't be left in that space anymore. Maybe I'm right, and baby it's time cause being here it makes me wanna, makes me wanna die. You shame me by the way you talk about it. it makes me wanna makes me wanna die. Not sure what it is but it makes me wanna makes me wanna die.... Makes me wanna makes me wanna die... Something in me makes me wanna die. Hidden in those places I don't go, how much do I show? When everybody's in the way! Don't think about it, I'm ready for the highlight, if only you'd hear my side, you might just be enlightened. But I'm not gunna play this up until I start to believe in something I know's a lie, Maybe you're right, maybe it's time, but being here it takes up all my time. I'm not at home this I know for sure, I can't be left in that space anymore. Maybe you're right, and baby it's time cause being here it makes me wanna, makes me wanna die. Makes me wanna makes me wanna die (and I can't explain) Not sure what it is but it makes me wanna makes me wanna die Makes me wanna makes me wanna die Something in me makes me wanna die---- But I'm not gunna play this up until I- Start to believe in something I know's a Lie- Maybe you're right and baby it's time but- being here it makes me wanna, makes me wanna die.

A Machine 05:46
lyrics

A Machine might take my job, It's comical 'cause I'm Out the door when you come to find me, it's just a matter of luck! And A Machine might take yours too, watch your back until you're screwed. Well that's how some of my friends think, with their heads in the ground. So am I really the weird guy for thinkin' we're good? Yeah i don't think there's nothing strange happening in this neighborhood... No I'm not, no I'm not worried at all. it's a lot, and true some may take a fall. But I'm not, no i'm not worried at all. The Machines help the sounds come out, I trust them to do what I need. But when it comes to touch, it can't give me anything. Even if it looked like the real thing. I need these things to live but I'm not, caught up in the scandal it's brought- hysteria brings a haunted vibe. Well fancy dreams are rare and lost I, hope for one to come at me at no cost that's why i never give up on you. And you can call me anything you want to be right. I would put moeny on the words you said were mine. No I'm not, no I'm not worried at all. When I brought up the past it's a petty flaw. Still I'm not, no i'm not worried at all. Survive the day, ride the day! I want someone close to me.... They can't truly love you like I'd want to. And what's the point in showing off in the least? 'Cause when I wake up I see trees and flowers covering everything- Oh it's paradise, it's paradise, and it's cool to live in it. Hey, heya, hey, heya I watched you put on, all that make up. You don't need it you look so natural, with it off. And I'm not worried at all.

I'm already there for you, Looking at me, tell me what's new, I'm seeing red. I'm seeing red, ohhh I just wanna tell you the truth, and I just wanna know what's cool I'm seeing red, I'm seeing red You can come and find me now, yeah You can come and find me now, and I'll never shut you out- red. Everyone that I know has come around, and nobody shut me out! Red- I know it's true I'm seeing red, When I fill up the room. I'm seeing red when I know what to do, I'm seeing red, oh I'm seeing red Seeing red, when I know what's true I'm seeing red, you've gotta give me a clue Seeing red, I'm not disturbing you I'm seeing red, red. What's Life? When you don't have somebody, to share it all and make it all worthwhile? 'Cause someone told me marriage ain't my style, they're wrong. So Have my undying love, what's you gunna do with that? Noo, I wanna leave you with something else, a piece of my heart no one else gets. You're already there for me, and yeah I'm still fighting. I'll always be there for you, so open up and tell me what's new, I'm seeing red. Yeah! I'm seeing red, Ohh! I'm seeing red, when I fill up the room. I'm seeing red, when I know what to do, I'm seeing red when I'm deserving you! I'm seeing red, red! I'm seeing red, when I fill up the room. I'm seeing red, when you don't think I can hold a tune. I'm seeing red, when I'm holding onto you. I'm seeing red. Red.

WRAM 03:58
lyrics
buy track
Be careful, watch out where you step, You know you're very different than all the rest. Just close the night out with something I can hold on to. Don't be gentle, it's almost nighttime.... 'Cause I'm so selfish, maybe you can change my mind the way you want me to. But I can tell that you're expecting me to change. Chase me, take me and erase me, just don't ever play with me again. Let me gain my strength back up so I can fight back! But hey now, how much could it take now to change the way I think about the world? I hope for explosions underneath the horizon, yeah.... But I'm so selfish maybe you can change my mind, the way you always do.. Come now, Closer, watch us as we try to change. Take the silence, flip it backwards, scream out my name! 'Cause I'm so selfish, I won't ever try to change... Trust yourself, in knowing what you'll do could change the world. But I can't keep all my promises. None of us can keep, keep all our promises. We only stop to think about ourselves.... Woah-oh-oh But I'm so selfish maybe I won't lose my mind, the way I think I will. I can tell that you're expecting me to change...

about

Songs from the last 9 months. Usually I prioritize music, and still do...but sometimes Life Takes Over. These 5 songs are a representation of some things I've gone through in the last 9 months, and "WRAM" is actually a remake of a 2010 track "The world revolves around me" but I never got to finish it. I hope you enjoy this piece of art- each song is much different. You can expect a lot more from me in the future and this is the beginning of a new chapter. Love Always, Colin
