Old Heart (Demo)

I’ve got a hard old heart, I’ve got a hard old heart
It’s been broken and beaten up too many times
Filled up with anger and darkness and grime
I don’t want this hard old heart
I don’t want this hard old heart
I’ve got a cold, dead heart, I’ve got a cold, dead heart
It’s colder than stone, somehow it keeps me alive
It’s crusty and dry but it wants to survive
I don’t want this cold, dead heart
I don’t want this cold, dead heart
I’ve got a hole in my heart where I once had love
And a gap in my life where you left
Now there’s dust and there’s dank old gravel and mud
And nothing left in me at all
I’ve got a tired old heart, I’ve got a tired old heart
All the damage and lies knifed into its side
and it wants to give up and go somewhere and hide
I don’t want this tired old heart
I don’t want this tired old heart
You used to love me with all of your heart
I used to walk on air
It all felt solid and real at the start
But it’s funny how love slips away
I’ve got a hard old heart, I’ve got a cold, dead heart
I’ve got a tired old heart, I’ve got a hard old heart
It’s been broken and beaten up too many times
Filled up with anger and darkness and grime
I don’t want this hard old heart
I don’t want this cold, dead heart
I don’t want this tired old heart
I don’t want this hard old heart

Anyway (demo)

No matter where you go
No matter what you do
I’m gonna love you anyway
I’m gonna love you anyway
No matter where you are
No matter who you see
I’m gonna love you anyway
I’m gonna love you anyway
The sea won’t run out of water
The sky won’t run out of blue
This promise is sacred as sacred can be
I’ll always be faithful to you
No matter where you live
No matter why you’re there
I’m gonna love you anyway
I’m gonna love you anyway

Waiting (demo)

I’m Still Waiting for the sky to fall
I’m Still Waiting for the day I grow tall
I’m Still Waiting for the moon to cry
I’m Still Waiting to understand why
I’m Still Waiting, I’m Still Waiting
I’m Still Waiting for it all to make sense
I’m Still Waiting for a stone to bleed
I’m Still Waiting for all that I need
I’m Still Waiting for a bone to be thrown
I’m Still Waiting to be happy alone
I’m Still Waiting, I’m Still Waiting
I’m Still Waiting for it all to make sense
I’m Still Waiting for a miracle cure
I’m Still Waiting for love to be sure
I’m Still Waiting for the truth to be told
I’m Still Waiting for the day I feel old
I’m Still Waiting, I’m Still Waiting
I’m Still Waiting for it all to make sense
I’m Still Waiting for the waves to roll back
I’m Still Waiting for the matter of fact
I’m Still Waiting for the damage to mend
I’m Still Waiting for the story to end
I’m Still Waiting, I’m Still Waiting
I’m Still Waiting for it all to make sense
I’m Still Waiting for the sky to fall, I’m Still Waiting for the day I grow tall
I’m Still Waiting for the moon to cry, I’m Still Waiting to understand why
I’m Still Waiting for a stone to bleed, I’m Still Waiting for all that I need
I’m Still Waiting for a bone to be thrown, I’m Still Waiting to be happy alone
I’m Still Waiting for a miracle cure, I’m Still Waiting for love to be sure
I’m Still Waiting for the truth to be told, I’m Still Waiting for the day I feel old
I’m Still Waiting for the damage to mend, I’m Still Waiting for the story to end

Easy Way To Fall (demo)
02:50
|

You know I want to live
I never want to die at all
But if I must, I want to find
An easy way to fall
I try to never tell a lie
The few I tell are small
So that if I ever slip, I’ll have
An easy way to fall
Falling to the ground
Falling to the ground
Some animal that’s cornered
With their back against a wall
Is only trying to find themselves
An easy way to fall
There’s someone with their private cross;
Along the ground they crawl
They’re searching in their garden for
An easy way to fall
Falling to the ground
Falling to the ground
Wise men with their eyes shut tight
In answer to the call,
Will quietly say there never was
An easy way to fall
But fools with eyes wide open
And not much else at all
Will effortlessly demonstrate
An easy way to fall
Falling to the ground
Falling to the ground
