Amazing - You might know a certain song by Matchbox Twenty, called Unwell, that sounds remarkably like this song, at least during the chorus. The "amazing" thing is, I wrote this song well before that CD came out.
Batteries - I'm a man, a simple man. Us men just need our batteries...and we run perfectly. A meandering song.
Breaking Glass - Ever felt like you just couldn't stand to look at yourself, cause you're ashamed of how you are? This is the song for you. Then scroll down and read I'm Not Ashamed.
Could Be Wrong - Everyone thinks they're always right. That's how we humans are. However...wise men (or women) can admit they could be wrong.
Don't Care - A slightly punkish, fun song! That first line "I want to run naked through the streets" got me lots of comments...it's a song about being so screwed up, you just don't care anymore.
Hideaway - One of my oldest songs that I really liked when I first wrote it...an anthem to the lonely and the abused.
I'm Like A Fire - What can I say...fire burns down eventually.
I'm Not Ashamed - I was tired of people criticizing me and how I live...just wanted to give 'em the big middle finger, and tell 'em that I didn't care what they thought of me. I'm not ashamed to be what I am.
Know My Name - Why is there always a crappy song in each group?
Lost Myself For A Little Bit - A faster, upbeat rock song about a period in my life where I was very depressed.
Medley Of Me - I'm a medley of things thrown together, as are we all. Who could ever learn to live with or love such a wild person? Well, I will, for one.
Naked To You - A song about being yourself for the one you love.
Not Getting Up - I wrote this late at night on the net, and it's basically just groups of thoughts about myself...sometimes happy, sometimes sad. Also see Voice in this section.
Rain - A poem/song about watching the rain fall. Or is it?
Reality - One of my better rap/talk ones. Quite an exploration of how people treat someone from beliefs about the person they've developed.
Red Lights - A trippy song about driving and exploring inside yourself.
Silence Of A Thousand Years - A Goo Goo Dolls-ish song, at least that's what I was told. Strange one...not one of my favorites. Go ahead and read!
Skindeep - I refuse to live to be skindeep, like so much of the society does. Stone Temple Pilots-ish song.
Song About A Milkshake - One of my favorites that I've ever written! A very unique song...comparing myself to a milkshake? I know. You're probably thinking, what the hell? Well, it's a strange song, but it's got a certain something that I like.
Spilling Silence - Yet another of my favorites, that I've written music for recently. Did you notice yet that I like to use the metaphor of driving in a car? I had tons of guesses, all different, as to what this was about...IM me at ClumsyCardHouses and tell me yours.
Stay Still - A shorter rock song about..well I don't really know what it's about. It's just a sad song.
Tall Shortcomings - I have my shortcomings, as we all do.
Underwater - A song written to someone else that's actually about me, and my troubles.
Voice - Yet another rambling song, about my own voice, and how I sound. It's a cool song for being written in two or three minutes!
Wavered - Just read the song. It's self-explanatory.
Birdcage - The first time I've EVER written a good song for the first song of a notebook. Quite a deep one, about being trapped in a birdcage...well, not really...but...poetic!
Shards And Bruises - A raprock one, my newest, that stands out to me. Eventually, I'll do a rewrite of this...it's really deep...and depressing. This DID happen to me.
Silken Stain - Simply, about not needing to know everything about someone to be comfortable in a relationship. One of my personal favorites.
The Color Of Innocence - Possibly my best written single piece of poetry or songwriting ever. It crosses both, but is more a poem. Centering on my feelings about myself and my innocence (or lack thereof), I came out with this...and it reveals more of me than I'd like to let on, or ever have. My true thoughts. Wow.
Two-Faced - Another rap/rock one (I like doing those for songs about myself). Not quite as good as Shards And Bruises, but it's got a good idea, and some good lines.
Untied (My Train Won't Fly) - Not my best song ever, but it's cool.
