gravity (demo) 04:04
lyrics
the world has come together the world will fly apart seeking dreams we chase the shadows that lie within our heart word for word I know the story the tale in colors stark down the path unknowing known we stumble in the dark and your gravity how it pulls at me does my gravity pull you to me? in orbit round we circle this azure mass untamed the heavens all a-singing our passions all aflame oh supplications muted we strain to hear the tune that single chord we have forgot that rest we left too soon and your gravity how it pulls at me does my gravity pull you to me? what have you forsaken? my god e'er lost in pain suffer long the quiet aching and listen to the rain blood will wash our misdirection as it falls upon the ground we are now all pulled together by one divine sound and your gravity how it pulls at me does my gravity pull you to me?

panacea (demo) 02:05
lyrics
she sits all day in the sun she's in love with everyone she plays out in the rain she's the cure for all of your pain panacea i see you her smile can melt the clouds her song can draw a crowd catch a glance from her emerald eyes watch her soar through azure skies panacea i see you she's everyone's darling starling when the sunset is drawing near from her strawberry throne she always goes home alone panacea i see you

noah mclaughlin, Shay - Sittin' in the Backseat (Demo) 04:07
lyrics
I'm sittin in the backseat, leaning on the window I can see your lips move though I can't hear you, over the stereo Puttin all your anger down on the floorboard You don't even realize starin into his eyes, Victim of your own accord Upset like the weather, ruffled up your feathers It's a big ole fiery mess can't feel my feet in this wreck, ten seconds til we're severed I'm sittin in the backseat, leaning on the window I can see your lips move though I can't hear you, over the stereo Tempers roared like dragon's breath, n' I came face to face with death Couldn't run the other way, Numb to the core...I just prayed Held on so tight to my breath.. He loves you, don't you know; Promised he won't let you go I saw him pull you from this wreck, an' I hoped for one more breath To say I love you so.. I'm sittin in the backseat, leaning on the window It's getting cold now, I'll see you somehow Heaven's calling me to go I'm sittin in the backseat, leaning on the window I don't see your lips move, an' no I can't hear you, over the stereo

lyrics
download
my mother was adamant that woman was made of steel so one night she stole away said she couldn't feel my father wasn't there his jaw slack, his eyes a-glaze he awoke hard one day left the porch, the house ablaze and i tell you all of this so you can understand my mother always said there are no monsters under your bed in the closet they abide keep them there i am working my way on through my family tree of twisted branches climb on down to the tangled roots find out where my shadow dances i am looking for the answer to the question you asked me if you are always someone's monster are you ever really free and i tell you all of this so you will take my hand my mother always said there are no monsters under your bed in the closet they abide keep them there

to the devil (demo) 03:51
lyrics
i spoke to the devil but he had nothing to say cuz i had beat him down, beat him all damn day Beelzebub came a knockin', came up right to my door tried to whisper sweet nothin's, so i put him on the floor i spoke to the devil i spoke with my fist i spoke to the devil now he's on my list 'course there is what freddy said about the black abyss can you win that staring game and make Satan miss? if this is that hubris thing, then just let me be if i can make my way there blind, his blood will set me free i spoke to the devil Mephistopheles i spoke to the devil you want no truck with me though it winds like a serpent, i can walk the path sow the seeds of destruction, pick the grapes of wrath i spoke to the devil but was only talkin' aloud i am my own hemlock; i weave my own shroud i spoke to the devil bluffed the father of lies i spoke to the devil, boy you better let me pass on by i spoke to the devil Mephistopheles i spoke to the devil & lived you want no truck with me

all swear about murder (demo) 03:30
lyrics
i was all swear about your demise shed not a tear for all your lies they put me in chains and on the stand i told the tale 'bout your demands 'bout what you took from me my ransomed heart i was all swear about your timely end but never said a word about our bed you were just standing there in a shadow of blue a chord in one hand my heart to undo you were a cipher a mistress code you were a wind-talker in melody clothed & we sang all night & rested the day you were just standing there but i heard you croon a swan you sang to me your secret tune girls are tougher than boys i know and i wish you were a girl because you are a woman you are a siren and i had neither wax nor string i sailed to near your song called me your song called me your song called me down it was a tryst it was a torrid whirlwind but all good things baby must find their end you had your études your ivory keys i had my six-string down on my knees i play the blues you play for you it was a tryst it was too facile i was all swear about blue gun steel
