The Bend (Demo)

Forget about the problems of our yesterday
I just wanna hang out with my friends
She was just a girl that you loved yesterday
Better days are just around the bend
Can you feel the heat? Can you fill up the spaces?
The who, what, and where? The people and places?
The sun's coming up, but I'm feeling down
All my friends don't want me around
If I'm not perfect you can fill in the blanks
The words bundle up and they fill up the tanks
The tank's on full, but I'm feeling empty
And even if you're here, you've already left me
Smoke and mirrors, finally finding I was wrong
Strike a match and let it burn
Lost in the illusion in the corners of my head
Waiting out the storm of everything unsaid
Forget about the problems of our yesterday
I just wanna hang out with my friends
She was just a girl that you loved yesterday
Better days are just around the bend
Better days are just around the bend
And I don't understand what the point of the race is
And I can't keep up, can't go through the paces
Of a life on the run, so I'm turning in
I need a new start, don't know where to begin
I've never been the type to care where I fall
Never wanted to compete, never answered the call
So can you tell me why I'm always feeling this way?
Soaking up another loss at the end of the day?
Smoke and mirrors, finally finding I was wrong
Strike a match and let it burn
Lost in the illusion in the corners of my head
Waiting out the storm of everything unsaid
Forget about the problems of our yesterday
I just wanna hang out with my friends
She was just a girl that you loved yesterday
Better days are just around the bend
Better days are just around the bend
Time and time again
We lose sight of what we know
Like the fire within the smoke
(Time and time again) Somehow we got off track yesterday
Waiting for each today to end
(We lose sight of what we know) Swallow the lump in your throat, it's ok
(Like the fire within the smoke) Tomorrow's around the bend
Forget about the problems of our yesterday
I just wanna hang out with my friends
She was just a girl that you loved yesterday
Better days are just around the bend
Forget about the problems of our yesterday
I just wanna hang out with my friends
She was just a girl that you loved yesterday
Better days are just around the bend
Better days are just around the bend

Scary Movie (Demo)

Skin crawling, scared of my shadow
Tree branches scratching the window
No one home but me and the TV
Wanna run, they're coming to get me
Too much of Freddy and Jason
I hear a voice from the basement
Cool breath, I pull up the blanket
Try acting tough, I can't fake it
Stayed in Friday night, what a mistake
Movie monsters are too much to take
Foul creatures, zombies, and demons
No one to hear as I'm screaming
Vampires creep to my bedroom
Fangs pierce my neck, I'll be one soon
Consumed by nightmares of dark things
Wake up in terror as the phone rings
I'm scared of scary movies
I'm jumping when the phone rings
Call waiting is a killer
Hold on
I'm scared of scary movies
I'm jumping when the phone rings
Call waiting is a killer
Hold on
I'm scared of scary movies
I'm jumping when the phone rings
Call waiting is a killer
Hold on
I'm scared of scary movies
I'm jumping when the phone rings
Call waiting is a killer
Hold on

I'm trying not to try so hard
I'm trying not to overthink
I'm trying not to care
I'm trying to be fair to me
I'm sick of being sick to death
I'm sick of how it's not so fun anymore
I'm sick of how we are
Get the fuck out of my car, we're done
You had me at first sight
You lost me at never by my side
You had me at hello
You lost me at hell no
I used to never used to be
I used to feel on top of the world
I used to have pride
I used to never hide from you
I hate it how you hate my friends
I hate it when you roll your eyes
I hate the way it hurts
Stop wearing all my shirts, we're done
You had me at first sight
You lost me at never by my side
You had me at hello
You lost me at hell no
You had me at first sight
You lost me at never by my side
You had me at hello
You lost me at hell no
Hell no
Hell no
Hell no
