NEW ALBUM OUT NOW !

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Scott William Matthew and Jürgen Stark

This may seem about me
But it’s for you
Maybe it’s for you and me

We sail a common sea
You and I
Forgive me for my latency

I don’t know where I’m going
Still don’t know where I belong
Still don’t know where I call home
The closest thing I have is you
And where I come from

I somehow made my way
Far from all the things
That stay in place

Absence I have made
Only serves for me
To now love your grace

I don’t know where I’m going
Still don’t know where I belong
Still don’t know where I call home
The closest thing I have is you
And where I come from

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

What have we made
Besides an early grave
We didn’t resurrect
On the third day

And this middle age
Well it couldn’t save
The wonder of this lot
Still it won’t stop

So put me to pasture
Send me to slaughter
Harden your heart
To the truth
Put me to pasture
Send me to slaughter
Now that I’m past tense to you

It won’t stop
It won’t stop

Could you write it on a page
Will you be that brave
To speak of all things lost
Of things that never stop

And this middle age
Still it couldn’t save
We didn’t resurrect
On the third day

So put me to pasture
Send me to slaughter
Harden your heart
To the truth
Put me to pasture
Send me to slaughter
Now that I’m past tense to you

It won’t stop
It won’t stop

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

No psychic warning
You would leave me in mourning
From childish seductions
With familiar conclusions

High on the pavement
Then so low in the airport
No text book on therapy
Will stop me admitting defeat

But if my english were better
Could I’ve curved this disaster
I don’t know

The sweetest of flowers
On the crudest of altars
I confide in a picture
As I’m breaking my promise

That if I just hold it together
I can curve this disaster
I don’t know
I don’t know

If I’d just found the humor
Could I’ve curved this disaster
Well I don’t think so
I don’t think so

Make it beautiful now

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

Shepherd me from pain and the doubt
Through the broken streets and the hearts
Herd me home through hurt and the past
Then leave me alone you have no choice
And now there is a white horse caged in my heart
And it’s going to kill me just to get out
Now there is a white horse caged in my heart
And it’s trying to kill me just to get out
Though we’re different creeds, wear different masks
If you only could conceive that there’s a chance
And hell is bent on showing me the dark
Shepherd me to light, make it stop.

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

I’ve taken drugs , I’ve taken sides
The devil taught me alibis
Now you’ve seen all that I’ll never be
It thrills me ’cause you’re still not leaving

The money spent
The way I vent
Vices collect like ornaments
Now you’ve seen all that I’ll never be
It thrills me ’cause you’re still not leaving

Oh please don’t make me say it
It would only complicate it
And this perseverance helps
To guide this grieving

I’ve taken drugs , I’ve taken sides
And the devil himself taught me alibis
Now you’ve seen all that I’ll never be
It kills me ’cause you’re still not leaving

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Scott William Matthew and Jürgen Stark

What we’ve ever held thats dear has always been fact
We may be trembling with fear, it won’t hold us back
We ain’t going away
We’re gonna stay till the end of days

Your powers a myth
It’s our kin and kith that dictate
And it’s not a dream that soon we’ll be holding the reins
We ain’t going away
We’re gonna stay till the end of days

We resist even though the abyss may compel us to stray
We take stance none of these lies make sense
While they pray hate we’ll say
Love, oh sweet love
Oh sweet love
May you guide us today

Music & Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

Somethings happening, first for a while
(why are you crying)
A thousand, million butterflies make me smile
(I fear the boys falling in love)
Love and it’s happening to me
God I’ve been lonely
A heart washed out to sea
And could you love me
And save me from this cities debris

Love
(I fear the boys falling in love)
Love
(the wonder of falling in love)

The chaste, the waist, replaced with valentine
All the stars and guitars combine if you are mine

Love and it’s happening to me
God I’ve been lonely
A heart washed out to sea
And could you love me
And save me from this misery

Love
(I fear the boys falling in love)
Love
(the wonder of falling in love)

Love and it’s happening to me
God I’ve been lonely
A heart washed out to sea

Don’t make a fuss
(it’s a must)
The gods demand
(that you take his hand)
We’re in for better days
(you know you are his only friend)
A command from my heart
(let it start)
Let this dream come true

And could you love me
And save me from this cities debris

Love

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

I won’t pen a rhyme
To justify this wasted time
To immortalize this great demise
No not this time

There ain’t nothing sweet
In this here defeat
To inspire a melody to repeat
And you joked you’d get
The “best of” from me
So very wrong
You won’t even get a song

i won’t write a song
So you can show all your friends
I wasn’t the one
The thought that you might just sing along
It`s just sick and wrong

There`s nothing more to be said
No sensitive lines to honor the dead
Or how you were terrible in bed
There`s no more to be said

So I’ve tried again
But this times not the same
You won’t know my pain
In a gentle refrain
And you joked you’d get
The “best of” from me
So very wrong
You won’t even get a song

There ain’t nothing sweet
In this here defeat
To inspire a melody to repeat
And you joked you’d get
The “best of” from me
So very wrong
You won’t even get a song

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

I no longer can rely
On a friend who once kept me alive
And you won’t see me take a stand
’cause I’m not special but it helped to know that some one thinks I am
And god its weird
God its strange
To be the only one
To talk to
God its weird
And god its strange
To be the only one
To dance with

I no longer feel at home
I cant arrive upon your street
And tell you how I’ve cried myself to sleep
And now  I’m forced to be alone
And left to climb the walls hide in the folds
Another bad sad song
God its weird
And god its strange
To be the only one
To talk to
God its weird
And god its strange
To be the only one
To dance with

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Scott William Matthew and Jürgen Stark

This is an assault against love
Still no-one helps, they just pray above

And I wish I could help
I wish I could have helped
I wish I could help
I wish I could have helped

And just know this, nothing protects
When law equals abyss, dark arts at it’s best

And I wish I could help
I wish I could have helped
I wish I could help
I wish I could have helped

Music & Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

This time of year when it gets cold
I can’t remember how it felt
To know you were the one to hold
Or just to know you made sense

This time of year , now I’m old
I know you were the one I told
Life should never be this fun
All the signs said you’re the one

So this is christmas
How pretty the lights are
How lonely the nights are

The loveliest winter
Sweet but so bitter
I won’t have you

No solace in my solitude
Now there is nothing here for you
Not a gift and not a card
Not a kind word from my heart

There’s nothing in sharing
No hope in me singing
Silent night, holy night
When the nights are so silent
The nights are so silent

Now you’ve stopped trying
The wish list I’ll stop writing
The wish wont come true
I won’t have you

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Jürgen Stark

Let me spend my days in Santarém
Blue and gold the ways of old and
Meet me by the castle walls
The shuttered doors
The bones under floor

The clock tower that doesn’t sound
The ancient streets that won’t be found

My delight each dear morning in
Beauty’s past the daily drowning
What I love most maybe glory lost
Or the sadness thats sweet
Or the ones under our feet

Leave me on that lonely hill
Where kings did kill I know I will

I will find something to which I’ll pray
To end my days in Santarém

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

there’s always something that I said
It’s just a habit of making bad
there’s always something that I did
turning sweetness into sad

If I’d shut my mouth
and waited for more
If I’d shut it out

there’s always something that I bared
its gone and make you run so scared
It’s just a habit of making bad
turning this way into that

If I’d shut my mouth
and waited for more
If I’d shut it out
and waited for dawn
If i’d cut the sleeve
that bares the heart
that only serves to bleed
could I’ve cut it out

there’s always something that I bared
that can never be repaired
there’s always something that I said
it’s just a habit of making bad

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

Memories of secret handshakes
You would speak my language
Seized , I cease to believe
You’re gonna leave.

And acting out a fight
When you’re not around
With ease, I cease to exist
I slip through the leaves
We once had to wish

Oh we wished for,
Ever, It now only seems
Like torture

Oh this ghost
Will win I host it’s, lingering
In me, and around my neck
It taps on my head
While i’m asleep

Memories of secret handshakes,
You would speak my language
seized, I cease to believe
You’re gonna leave

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

What have we made
Besides an early grave
We didn’t resurrect
on the third day

And this middle age
Well it couldn’t save
The wonder of this lot
Still it won’t stop

So put me to pasture
Send me to slaughter
harden your heart
To the truth
Put me to pasture
Send me to slaughter
Now that I’m past tense to you

Could you write it on a page
Will you be that brave
To speak of all things lost
Of things that never stop

And this middle age
Still it couldn’t save
We didn’t resurrect
On the third day

So put me to pasture
Send me to slaughter
Harden your heart
to the truth
Put me to pasture
Send me to slaughter
Now that I’m past tense to you

It won’t stop
It won’t stop

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

It’s a chilling claim to fame
We steal their baby brains
big minds work out strategy
that never fail to train

oh the horror

sublime this fun filled game
with branding we will compete
to enforce this force of darkness
the flock a needed treat

oh the horror

As you live and breath
you will need me
keep you craving mindlessly
we will not let you leave
you still need me
we keep you craving mindlessly,happily

This legacy I leave
of wonder, lust, deceit
robbing from the blinded boys
of them and me , and greed

oh the horror

Market me to children
market me to children

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

transplant my hand into yours
and we’ll go through hell and high water
transplant my heart
kiss me to kick start
we’re pumping like machinery

All is changed
clean incision to the brain,baby
cut me open rearrange
healing hands
am I medicated just elated
cut me  steal this pain

Its love , It’s life
saving surgery

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

we all bear the scars
yeah, we all feign a laugh
we all cry in the dark
get cut off before we start

and as your first act begins
you realise they’re all waiting
for a fall, for a flaw, for the end

and there’s a past stained with tears
could you talk to quiet my fears
could you pull me aside
just to acknowledge that i’ve tried

as your last breath begins
contently take it in
cause we all get it in
the end

and as your last breath begins
you find your demon’s your best friend
and we all get it in
the end

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

oh son you’re not wrong
there are so many of us
who’d rather play dead
it’s easier to run than explain ourselves
and if winter of discontent
it fills your bones, its your only friend
feel free to defend your right
don’t fight, simply slip out of sight
to sweeter terrain
balladeer

sweet one, you’re not wrong
there are so many of us
who’d rather succumb to the tide and give up
then explain ourselves
and if banter and bayonets
your neurotic boss and those idiots
and they force you to take the test
and fail again so better yet
the sweeter terrain
balladeer

and if banter and bayonets
your neurotic boss and those idiots
and they force you to take the test
and fail again so better yet
the sweeter terrain
balladeer
the sweeter terrain
balladeer

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

I walked a country mile
now I am alone
seeds of love have turned
into weeds overgrown
and this parachute that held
heart strings taught and strong
have torn beyond repair
the surgeon’s been and gone
like you he’s been and gone

and I must admit this tragic ending
sounds kind of appealing
even though I’m alone
and I must admit this prescriptions working
the sweet thought of sleeping
even though its alone
even though its alone

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

I can only come on strong
’cause I’ve finally found a way
to right a wrong

and all my sickness which there is
no forgiveness.
But its with you that I belong

To ask is selfish of me
but when you leave my company
do you sometimes feel like
an amputee?

If yes,please write yes
on my ceiling .

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Scott William Matthew / John Mark Lapham

I walk through, the dark descends
Fills every room with your absence
Through the lies there lies the prize
To sing the saddest lullaby

Wolverine come slay this dream
Leave me cowering in the trees
Sticks and stones come break my bones
Its come to be my comfort zone

Let there always be another
Let there always be another

Wolverine come slay this dream
Leave me cowering ‘tween the sheets
Sticks and stones come break my bones
Its come to be where I belong

Let there always be another
Dream to kill
Let there always be another

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

Joy it comes and goes
it speeds through ebb and flow
it falls, it ignores me

and christ if he sacrificed his life
so I’ll have mine, why does god
still treat me like a whore?
he ignores me

and thistles are thriving in my garden
mistletoe I’ll be avoiding
simple things always turn complex
entangled, a ribbon in a rose bush
strangled, a singer in a car crash
I would invite you in but promise me this
please ignore this mess

suffice to say that I’ve survived
my own demise and joy
washed me up on the shore
oh please ignore me

thistles are thriving in my garden
mistletoe I’ll be avoiding
simple things always turn complex
and thistles are thriving in my garden
over grown I’ll be alone for so long
I’d invite you in but promise me this
please ignore this mess

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

No psychic warning
You would leave me in mourning
From childish seductions
With familiar conclusions

High on the pavement
Then so low in the airport
No text book on therapy
Will stop me admitting defeat

If my english were better
could I’ve curved this disaster
I don’t know

The sweetest of flowers
On the crudest of altars
I confide in a picture
as I’m breaking my promise

That if I just hold it together
I can curve this disaster
I don’t know
I don’t know

If I’d just found the humor
Could I’ve curved this disaster
Well I don’t think so
I don’t think so

Make it beautiful now

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Scott William Matthew / Marisol Limon Martinez

My love lies over the ocean
Long ago it fumbled in my hands
I’m a fool to stoke and tend a dying fire
That will never make it back to land

Drown me sweetly
sea of tears so far from shore
I have plucked this last heart string for a song
Drag me down to deepest depths and leave me there
I shall long for you no more

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

I have a love
That the good lord above cannot fathom
Yet it’s rationed
You don’t seem to want it

But if pain wears you thin
I could color you in , take the grey away
If you’d let me stay
if you’d let us begin

Know there is purity
bestowed on you and me
I don’t believe they’d hate us
In the face of love

How to make you conceive
There is community in each other
Was it your father, or was it the doctor
Or the institution

But if prayer wears you thin
Or the wrath of your kin
I’ll take the shame away
If you’d let me stay
If you’d let us begin

Know there is purity
bestowed on you and me
I don’t believe they’d hate us
In the face of love

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

Music by Scott William Matthew / Nate Calkins / Peter Gingerich

What’s my name?
Sounds like nothing, a naught
This fire burns the same
It just no longer hurts

To feel no shame
Well ain’t that worse than a dog
This fire burns the same
We just no longer talk

What’s my name?

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

shepherd me from pain and the doubt
through the broken streets and the hearts
herd me home through hurt and the past
then leave me alone you have no choice
and now there is a white horse caged in my heart
and it’s going to kill me just to get out
now there is a white horse caged in my heart
and it’s trying to kill me just to get out
though we’re different creeds, wear different masks
If you only could conceive that there’s a chance
and hell is bent on showing me the dark
shepherd me to light, make it stop.

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

I’ve taken drugs , I’ve taken sides
The devil taught me alibis
Now you’ve seen all that I’ll never be
It thrills me ’cause you’re still not leaving

The money spent
the way I vent
Vices collect like ornaments
Now you’ve seen all that I’ll never be
It thrills me ’cause you’re still not leaving

Oh Please don’t make me say it
It would only complicate it
And this perseverance helps to
Guide this grieving

I’ve taken drugs , I’ve taken sides
The devil himself taught me alibis
Now you’ve seen all that I’ll never be
It kills me ’cause you’re still not leaving

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

What have we made
Besides an early grave
We didn’t resurrect
on the third day

And this middle age
Well it couldn’t save
The wonder of this lot
Still it won’t stop

So put me to pasture
Send me to slaughter
Harden your heart
To the truth
Put me to pasture
Send me to slaughter
Now that I’m past tense to you

Could you write it on a page
Will you be that brave
To speak of all things lost
Of things that never stop

And this middle age
Still it couldn’t save
We didn’t resurrect
On the third day

So put me to pasture
Send me to slaughter
Harden your heart
to the truth
Put me to pasture
Send me to slaughter
Now that I’m past tense to you

It won’t stop
It won’t stop

Music & Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

Love will you bloom
Or are we doomed
Chaperoned by the dead
There’s a heart string
It spans ocean
Made of delicate thread

Love let me swoon
Let us bloom
Little boat do you care
That I’m sinking
Predicting
The end is not fair

All alone in the night
I will suffer, I’ll fight
That the truth is
This death wish
Is a prison.

This tale is it fiction
A fable
The cradle and all
There’s no telling
But here’s hoping
In your arms I will fall

Be it Spain or Rome
Not to be alone
Little boat take me there
Because I’m sinking
With longing
To breath the same air

Music & Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

Today is the first day
Of another life
It may be just as tragic
But at least it’s mine
Without your lies
And the prize
That’s been handed down
From the devil to his only child
I won’t cry
I won’t cry

So I’ll keep breathing
Let it come naturally
And I’ll wait for exaltation
To set me free
From all your crimes
And the signs
Like the blood stained mark
Upon my door well it’s there
It’s there no more

And the camouflage
The reportage
I fell for it all
So give me another drink
I don’t want to think about those lies
’cause I loved them all
I loved them all

Today is the first day
Of another life
It may be just as tragic
But at least it’s mine

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

in a palace of tears lived beyond all our fears
and the rain seemed to fall from the walls, through the floor
and the ones who can’t tell, of the rain how it fell
and this once loving town had descended to hell
and i wish you could see
though you may not believe
that good can overcome
and for you tears still fall like rain
but we’re smiling again
we miss you the same
though a lesson is learn’t
my heart’s tattered and torn
’cause i still feel your pain in the wall in the floor
and i wish you could see
though you may not believe
that good can overcome
and for you tears still fall like rain
but we’re loving again
we miss you the same

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

intellect, a wit , a charm
a legacy of gallantry
though a life may be gone
a light lingers on

and we all will lament
but with what we know we do our best
above all, there is success
because i remember tenderness

so the light the light`s not gone
let`s raise our hopes that you’re not far
the privilege of singing you a song
the honor of knowing such a one

so the light the light is on
lets raise a toast to wit and charm
the privilege of knowing such a one
the honor of being your grandson

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

here we go again
you blindly rid me of your kisses
Im left to pick up any pieces
that haven’t broken now you’re gone

left to search through all the days
a shard of hope an intact splinter
i hope to get me through the winter
until i find the sun again

here we go again
words are kind from friends and strangers
and this time even from my father
but it doesn’t quell the pain
here we go again

it’s strange it never feels the same
a lover estranged from a lover
i now should know how to recover
is time the enemy a friend

here we go again
i believe your truth in that i’m useless
but what you think be not my business
now your the enemy, just a friend
here we go again

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

i won’t write a song
to tell the world that you’re gone
to tell the world of all your wrongs

i won’t pen a rhyme
to justify this wasted time
to immortalize this great demise
no not this time

there ain’t nothing sweet
in this here defeat
to inspire a melody to repeat
and you joked you’d get
the “best of” from me
so very wrong
you won’t even get a song

i won’t write a song
so you can show all your friends
i wasn’t the one
the thought that you might just sing along
it`s just sick and wrong

nothing more to be said
no sensitive lines to honor the dead
or how you were terrible in bed
no more to be said

so I’ve tried again
but this times not the same
you won’t know my pain
in a gentle refrain
and you joked you’d get
the “best of” from me
so very wrong
you won’t even get a song

there ain’t nothing sweet
in this here defeat
to inspire a melody to repeat
and you joked you’d get
the “best of” from me
so very wrong
you won’t even get a song

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Scott William Matthew / Khavn de la Cruz

it starts when we try for
things that must die
leave us in ruins
in ruins

a life sacrificed for
something i can’t find
has left me in ruins
in ruins

come all ye faithful
the wrecked and the woeful
please find me and lay me to rest
to rest

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

slow to take
lead the way
a soul to save
a soul to save

laid to waste
we`re loved to late
sanitarium
hell to pay
soul to save

soul to save
we leak away
on the battlefield
higher name
soul to save

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

you were my constant
a belief, a relief
all in truth

you were my constant
antidote to defeat
fallible

remember after the show you said
what i’ve never known
is that i’m loved
I guess it weren’t enough

you were my constant
a belief , a relief
sufferable.

you were my constant
a deceit so complete
your own show

what was beautiful
all at once is just brutal
oh where’d you go
thats the thing i’ll never know

you were my constant.

where’d you go
I’ve never felt so alone

you were my constant

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

does anyone wanna leave this place
c’mon
go underground without a sound
c’mon

let skylines change
the headlines blame
with blood it stains
don’t we feel the same?

can anyone piece my friends back together
if you stitch your head to my shoulder
you can cry upon it.

let skylines change
your all insane
with fingers stained
don’t we feel the same?

come on the disaffected
believe what we need matters
i`ve had a premonition
a place where we can grieve

does anyone wanna leave this place
c’mon
if i stitch my head to your shoulder
i can cry upon it

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

a burning effigy of you and me
it’s something that we used to be
as we make believe that this is still a home

all that’s left of me
this effigy
a reminder there was sanity
have i lost the will to know where i belong

or find my way home
my way home
if there’s a place for us
will it be enough

like a child i will learn how to walk
this fire could lead me throug the dark
but the difference is a child knows how to love

Is this effigy the enemy
it’s silent , it wont talk to me
if i find my way , i still could be alone

find my way home
my way home
if there’s a place for us
will it be enough
there’s effigy of you and me
it’s something that we used to be

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Rodrigo Leão

I’ve found a joy
that belongs to fate
give up the ghost
tell the tears to wait
and we won’t let them destroy
all we’ve put in place
they’ll understand
there is no greater grace

it’s more
than anything we’ve
than anything they’ve seen
we’re death defying
the perfect storm
higher than the trees
our feet are off the ground
we’re death defying

my only friend
thats the risk we’ll take
only resist what
they’ve put in place
let the lifeless ones
try to steal our faith
they only try
we always will escape

it’s more
than anything we’ve
than anything they’ve seen
we’re death defying
the perfect storm
higher than the trees
our feet are off the ground
we’re death defying

we’re more than anything they’ve seen
we’re more than anything they’ve known
we’re death defying

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Rodrigo Leão

For a light to never go out
First it must be on
For a new day to break
First you’ve got to want, you’ve got to want the sun

Sweetest love you once made sense
Bitter truth it over come
Let the dark have it’s way
I’ve got to face there’ll never be someone

Chorus
The only arms that wait
The only kiss to taste
Terrible dawn don’t make me wake
For the light only takes
Burns my sweet escape
Terrible dawn don’t make me wake
Don’t make me wait

So let hoping be replaced
Any fire inside has gone
But for my soul to take
You’ve got to still, you’ve got to still have one

Chorus
The only arms that wait
The only kiss to taste
Terrible dawn don’t make me wake
For the light only takes
Burns my sweet escape
Terrible dawn don’t make me wake

Only time to waste
Now I know my place
Terrible dawn don’t make me wait
There’s no arms that wait
Not a kiss to taste
Terrible dawn don’t make me wake
Don’t make me wait

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Rodrigo Leão

it’s time to tell the truth
I know that we can
we’re not born of steel
but we’re born of will to find the truth behind the veil

and to say that i’m to blame
it’s not the truth
you loved me too

and to say that you’re to blame
its not the truth
my love is proof

it’s time to call a truce
I know that we can
let’s burn all the pain
let’s both sacrifice so we can find the light again

and to say that loves to blame
it’s not the truth
we both were used

and who’s to say
we’re not all to blame
we love in truth
but still we lose.

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

we all bear the scars
yeah, we all feign a laugh
we all cry in the dark
get cut off before we start

and as your first act begins
you realise they’re all waiting
for a fall, for a flaw, for the end

and there’s a past stained with tears
could you talk to quiet my fears
could you pull me aside
just to acknowledge that i’ve tried

as your last breath begins
contently take it in
cause we all get it in
the end

and as your last breath begins
you find your demon’s your best friend
and we all get it in
the end

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Rodrigo Leão

Grateful , no need for you explain
no need for this to spell pain
this may not be a failure
this lose can be a gain

you know that i won’t say goodbye
in my mind
I know that I won’t always cry
for thats life

thankful
I’ve never had an anchor
I know that I won’t capsize
this may not be the rapture
you leaving with the tide

you know that I won’t say goodbye
why would I
things can change to make it right
in our lives

It’s only love
its delicate and handmade
in truth and faith
now it’s over, thats life
e a vida
C’est la vie
I ain’t getting any younger
but we tried
that’s life

thankful
Ive never had an anchor
I know that I won’t capsize
some things aren’t born to die
hold me one more time

you know that I won’t say goodbye
why would I
things can change to make it right
in our lives

It’s only love
its delicate and handmade
in truth and faith
now it’s over, thats life
e a vida
C’est la vie
I ain’t getting any younger
but we tried
that’s life

now it’s over, thats life
e a vida
C’est la vie
I ain’t getting any younger
but you were mine
that’s life

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Rodrigo Leão

The winter’s still
the days are dark
as leaves they fall from lovers hearts

the bow it breaks
the cradle falls
without the strength to bare the cold

and innocence from us was torn
the highest branch the hardest fall
down
down

the nights awake
the leaves they fall
and tears are born
more than the sun has gone

the bow it breaks
the cradle falls
dearly departed
winters long

and innocence from us was torn
the highest branch the hardest fall
down
down

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

This time of year when it gets cold
I can’t remember how it felt
To know you were the one to hold
Or just to know you made sense

This time of year , now I’m old
I know you were the one I told
Life should never be this fun
All the signs said you’re the one

So this is christmas
How pretty the lights are
How lonely the nights are

The loveliest winter
Sweet but so bitter
I won’t have you

No solace in my solitude
Now there is nothing here for you
Not a gift and not  a card
Not a kind word from my heart

There’s nothing in sharing
No hope in me singing
Silent night, holy night
When the nights are so silent
The nights are so silent

Now you’ve stopped trying
The wish list I’ll stop writing
The wish wont come true
I won’t have you

So this is christmas
How pretty the lights are
How lonely the nights are

The loveliest winter
Sweet but so bitter
I won’t have you

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Scott William Matthew and Jürgen Stark

Today I heard the message
In clear and purple prose
Of matrimonies vestige
Does it belong to the unknown

So where is bliss
Nothing ever shows
Wistfully we persist

Today I heard you crying
About vulgarians abound
Pushed till you believed in dying
But in each other we are found

So where is bliss
Heart as a stone
Wistfully we exist

Least we feel the same

We know they’re rudimentary
It would be strange to think we’re found
For we got lost in longing
Sweet to know
To know that you’re around

So where is bliss
Let us atone
As we cease and desist

Music and Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

I can tell
You’ve left us for the other side
Where the bell
Tolls for you day and night

Let`s navigate
The arrows the battlecry’s
I’ll emanate
A love that won’t let you die

It’s all you can do
It’s all you can do
To keep you from harm again
It’s all you can do
I know
You’ve done all you can do
To keep things going bad again

I know you well
I know longing to be harrowing
I know you said
It’s not for the want of trying
But I’m on your side
Don’t be to far from knowing
I won’t pretend
Your pain Isn’t staggering

“chorus“

A four leaf clover
I’ll help you over
In this life, I know
We’re terrified

And it’s all I can do
It’s all I can do
To keep you from harm again
It’s all I can do
I know
You’ve done all you can do
To keep things going bad again

I understand
A single demand
Tired of the fight
A happy end
A happy end

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Scott William Matthew and Jürgen Stark

This may seem about me
But it’s for you
Maybe it’s for you and me

We sail a common sea
You and I
Forgive me for my latency

I don’t know where I’m going
Still don’t know where I belong
Still don’t know where I call home
The closest thing I have is you
And where I come from

I somehow made my way
Far from all the things
That stay in place

Absence I have made
Only serves for me
To now love your grace

I don’t know where I’m going
Still don’t know where I belong
Still don’t know where I call home
The closest thing I have is you
And where I come from

Music and Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

It’s time that we lament
all the ones that history forgets
You’re more of a man than anyone understands

To lay your body in a world that`s kind
being gentle is only a strength
Where pure of heart could never be a crime
The meek and fearful we will defend

No ideology, morality, law or lord up above
where cowardice is courage
so you have my love

Lay the sweetest wreath at the feet
of the ones who have run
You`re hated ’cause your good
More than anyone understood

The deserter who wouldn’t murder
let his heart illuminate
Rest in peace we know you’re someone
Forgive us for we know not what we’ve done

To lay your body in a world that`s kind
being gentle is only a strength
Where pure of heart could never be a crime
The meek and fearful we will defend

No ideology, morality, law or lord up above
where cowardice is courage
so you have my love

To lay your body in a world that`s kind

In my heart the fire’s burning
Choose my colour find a star
Precious people always tell me
That’s a step, a step too far

Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?
Precious kisses, words that burn me
Lovers never ask you why

Words are few
That I have spoken
I could waste a thousand years
Wrapped in sorrow, words are token
Come inside and catch my tears
You’ve been talking but believe me
If it’s true you do not know
This boy loves without a reason
I’m prepared to let you go

If it’s love you that want from me
Then take it away
Everything’s not what you see is it over again?

Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?
Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?

Music by Scott William Matthew and Jürgen Stark

This is an assault against love
Still no-one helps, they just pray above

And I wish I could help
I wish I could have helped
I wish I could help
I wish I could have helped

And just know this, nothing protects
When law equals abyss, dark arts at it’s best

And I wish I could help
I wish I could have helped
I wish I could help
I wish I could have helped

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Scott William Matthew and Jürgen Stark

Atop a rock where your body lay
Left to cry all alone
left to be washed away
But the tide it changed
All that washed away was the fear

I remember you said
“Must have done something bad
To be forced into exile
To Just never have”
But the times they’ve changed
Now its not just another year

Misfortune dies, we don’t lament
Oh to see you loved and with
Grand crescendo
And Venus cries for all of us to hear
Oh it’s not just another year

You don’t have to drink to forget
Or smile to pretend
Something beautifully worthy
To revere, to defend
And it’s well deserved
Say it’s worth the wait now it’s here

Oh and time it moves fast
You know each others crimes
But of late the intrepid
Is far from your mind
As if tailor made
You’ve found someone it appears

Misfortune dies, we don’t lament
Oh to see you loved and with
Grand crescendo
And Venus cries for all of us to hear

Yue-Lao, Anteros, Rati, Qetesh
Oh many moons you will be blessed
And Venus cries for all of us to hear
Oh it’s not just another year

Kids out driving Saturday afternoon just passed me by
I’m just savoring familiar sights
We shared some history, this town and I
But I can’t stop that long forgotten feeling of her
It`s time to book a room and stay tonight

Number one it`s to find some friends and say “you’re doing well
after all this time you boys look just the same“
Number two it`s a happy hour at one of two hotels
Settle in to play “Do you remember so and so?“
Number three is never say her name

Oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there’s nothing left could set fire to this town
There’s no change, there’s no pace
Everything is in its place
Just makes it harder to believe she won’t be around

Who needs that sentimental bullshit, anyway
It takes more than a memory to make me cry
I’m just happy to be sitting round this table with old friends
see which one of us tell`s the biggest lie
But there’s a girl, she’s falling in love by the pianola stand
With her young factory worker, now they’re holding hands
And I’m wondering if he’ll go or if he’ll stay

“chorus“

Lyrics by J.W. Blake
Music by Charles B. Lawlor

East Side, West Side, all around the town
The tots sang “ring-around-rosie“, “London Bridge is falling down”
Boys and girls together, me and Mamie O’Rourke
We tripped the light fantastic on the sidewalks of New York

Things have changed since those days, some are up in “G”
Others are a wand’rers but they all feel just like me
They would part with all they’ve got, could they once more walk
With their best girl and have a twirl on the sidewalks of New York

East Side, West Side, all around the town
The tots sang “ring-around-rosie“, “London Bridge is falling down”
Boys and girls together, me and Mamie O’Rourke
We tripped the light fantastic on the sidewalks of New York

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Rodrigo Leão

the fallen grow
a thousand deep
we make it easy to defeat
to leave

toll the bell
for those who fell
a legacy of those who lost
the deal

we are the fallen ones and still
you will find others you can sell
all the beautiful lies
always ready to strike
another under your spell

your craft is honed
inside our homes
leaving us to just be skin
and bone

so toll the bell
for those who fell
we make it easy
we won’t live
to tell

we are the fallen ones and still
you will find others you can sell
all the beautiful lies
always ready to strike
another under your spell

la la la la la

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Rodrigo Leão

it was a secret, a seed
that was gonna be you and me
and not everyone
well, now it`s gone

a signal, a sign
that the gods were gonna make you mine
and not everyones
i was wrong

we belong to the mistake
all beauty`s got to break
now we`re left with enemies, memories
a god awful mistake
to give is just to take
now we`re left with enemies, memories

to taste or replace
was up to you to make in haste
now it belongs to everyone
the secret`s shown

a win is a waste
now i`ll settle for a life of chaste
and not anyone
now you`ve gone

we belong to the mistake
all beauty`s got to break
now we`re left with enemies, memories

a god awful mistake
to give is just to take
now we`re left with enemies, memories

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Rodrigo Leão

there was a crime
there was forlorn
there was a time when anything we did was wrong
dues have been paid
no more crippling alone
now there’s a chance for us to swoon sing a love song

those days are over
they’re over

bury the past
the fortunate dead
we’ve turned on the light
the darks a stone that sinks like lead

who’d dare to say
happiness can’t be ours
we’ve turned the tide
we’ve plucked our hearts from lost to found

those days are over
they’re over

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Rodrigo Leão

the calm after the storm
the wind has howled the birds have flown
the tears the words, our dreams debris
there’s nothing left of you and me

But there’s an avalanche, a landslide
and there’s a darkness thats behind your eyes.
a tidal wave of our lives
a winter of our own desire

release me
rebuild again
the power of our empire is over
this unnatural disaster

it falls into the sea
the remnants of you and me
the tower the spire , the loveless rooms
our monument all left in ruins

but there’s a hurricane a wild fire
and there’s an emptiness that now conspires
a tidal wave of our lies
a winter of our own desire

release me
rebuild again
the power of our empire is over
this unnatural disaster

release me
to live again
the power of our empire is over
this unnatural disaster

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Scott William Matthew and Jürgen Stark

What we’ve ever held thats dear has always been fact
We may be trembling with fear, it won’t hold us back
We ain’t going away
we’re gonna stay till the end of days

Your powers a myth
It’s our kin and kith that dictate
And it’s not a dream that soon we’ll be holding the reins
We ain’t going away
we’re gonna stay till the end of days

We resist even though the abyss may compel us to stray
We take stance none of these lies make sense
While they pray hate we’ll say
Love, oh sweet love
Oh sweet love
may you guide us today

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Rodrigo Leão

start, stop
tick tock
it only takes a second to become a laughing stock

the speed of light
the shortest day
it only takes a minute
to throw it all away

but now its gone
how the days go on
how they drone
to time they don’t belong

Life, life is long
whoever thought that could be wrong
life is long

Life, life is long
whoever thought that could be wrong
life is long

start stop
tick tock
it only takes a second to become something you’re not

the speed of light
the shortest way
it only takes a minute to throw it all away

but now its gone
how the days go on
how they drone
to time I don’t belong

Life, life is long
whoever thought that could be wrong
life is long

( longevity, eternity
is gonna be the end of me
start stop tick tock
a second is a minute
is an hour is a day
now we’ve thrown it all away
now we’ve thrown it all away
now we’ve thrown it all away)

Life, life is long
whoever thought that could be wrong
life is long

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

I no longer can rely
on a friend who once kept me alive
and you won’t see me take a stand
’cause I’m not special but it helped to know that some one thinks I am
and god its weird

I no longer feel at home
I cant arrive upon your street
and tell you how I’ve cried myself to sleep
and now  I’m forced to be alone
and left to climb the walls hide in the folds
another bad sad song
and god its weird
god its strange
to be the only one to talk to
god its weird
and god its strange
to be the only one to dance with

god its weird
god its strange
to be the only one
to be the only one

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Spencer Cobrin

Yesterday you say you , started to pray
A desperate last attempt to
Cover every prayer with every god
And hope to god that it works

If you still will a fear
Conspiring theories leave you needing
A whole lot more than this
Solace that you seek
Believe in me we’ll leave believing
In something

Growing up is fun
Only if your young
Left to late
Forgot to take it but we’ve
Written and revised in
The art of compromise
Left to late, mistakes we’ve made but

If you still will a fear
Conspiring theories leave you needing
A whole lot more than this
Let the pavement kiss our feet
Believe in me we’ll leave believing
In something

You know that something is better than nothing
Something is better than nothing.

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Spencer Cobrin

I’ve shed my skin so many times I’m worn thinTime heals all’s a bad joke
I feel you so close I choke

Cut down to size and alibi’s were all lies
I can’t close these tired eyes
If I do you’ll be there
Wanting to

Hold me, hold me, if you told me
That lover meant leaver
Hold me , hold me , if you’d  mould me
To whatever matters

Gone to far, it’s all gone on so long
It feels this flesh and bone
Are no longer my own

If I don’t cross the street
If I don’t run away
Pray paths don’t meet up today
Strange it’s still all I crave
Wanting you to

Hold me, hold me, if you told me
That lover meant leaver
Hold me , hold me , if you’d  mould me
To whatever matters

Whatever matters

Proved through the ages
The most childish of fazes
Still keeps me in cages

Can I go for the kill
These words never sway you
The most childish of fazes
Keeps me in cages

And if you’d hold me, hold me, if you told me
That lover meant leaver
Hold me , hold me , if you’d  mould me
To whatever matters

Hold me, hold me, if you told me
That lover meant leaver
Hold me , hold me , if you’d  mould me
To whatever matters

Please mould me
To whatever matters

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Spencer Cobrin

Half weight, half wit
You say you want to hold me down
And see if it’ll fit
Half weight, Half wit
Just try and hold me down

Half weight, half wit
You know you got to go so low
If you wanna touch
Half weight, half wit
Just try and touch me know

And if you tell me that you’re
Getting off on it,
Getting off on it,
Getting off on it.
YEAH

And could ya, could ya come on
Could ya, could ya come on
And could ya, could ya come on

Half weight, half wit
You say that you’re a
Sick, sick catholic
I think that I like it

Half weight, half wit
You wanna touch me now

And if you tell me that you’re
Getting off on it,
Getting off on it,
Getting off on it.
YEAH

And could ya, could ya come on
Could ya, could ya come on
And could ya, could ya make me belong

And if you tell me that you’re
Getting off on it,
Getting off on it,
Getting off on it.
YEAH

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Spencer Cobrin

And will this ever change
Still you waits for pay day
It comes and goes again

And what, what of that ten year plan
Somehow it never began
So ditch your childish dreams of fame

And honey just wipe away your tears
Go grab your keys and hit the city streets
It’s all out there for those who don’t care
There’s just no other way

It seems the only things that thrill ya
Are the ones that will surely kill ya
Who wants to see the century end

And all those dreams that used to drive ya
It’s not hope but dread that fills
And still nobody knows your name

And honey just wipe away your tears
Go grab your keys and hit the city streets
Put the top down, the wind in your hair

Don’t you know you got a
Car full of friends
You’re sharing last drinks with
Tonight’s casualties well
Don’t even think what lies ahead

There’s just no other way

Lets go drinking and driving
Lets go drinking and driving

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Spencer Cobrin

You turn on like neon light
To catch my breath, I lose the fight

And is perversity or purity?
So good it must be God
yeah

Something is coming out tonight
Something shimmering and bright
Something that’s shimmering
It’s you, so new

The Strangest angel in my sight
History withers, burns and dies

And is this perversity or purity?
So good you must be God
Yeah

Something is coming out tonight
Something shimmering and bright
Something that’s shimmering
It’s you, so new

Burns and dies
Burn and die

Oh well it’s you and me, It’s heavenly
How could they want our blood
Is this perversity or purity?
So good it must be drugs
Yeah

Something is coming out tonight
Something shimmering and bright
Something thats shimmering
It’s you, so new

And baby it’s you so new
It’s you so new

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Spencer Cobrin

Couldn’t wait to see ya
You know you’re so familiar
Well, my hands are down

And still you taunt
This love it haunts

You know I live for love

And here it comes, that feeling
I’ll give it up , never let me win
Cut me open , tuck me in
It hurts, but it’s healing
I’ll give it up , never let me win
Cut me open , tuck me in

Couldn’t wait to see ya
Now that pains desire
Well I want it now

And please still taunt
This love it haunts

You know I live for love

And here it comes, that feeling
I’ll give it up , never let me win
Cut me open , tuck me in
It hurts, but it’s healing
I’ll give it up , never let me win
Cut me open , tuck me in

You know I live for love
Don’t you know I live for love

And here it comes, that feeling
I’ll give it up , never let me win
Cut me open , tuck me in
It hurts, but it’s healing
I’ll give it up , never let me win
Cut me open , tuck me in

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Spencer Cobrin

It weren’t the thousand questions asked
Of your intentions but
A paper bag worn as a mask
Or no reflection would help

I know what you see
I’ve seen what you saw
I know what you mean
Called me an eyesore
I know what you see
I tend to agree

And someone  said kids can be cruel
We all know we’ve been there
But all grown still you spit the truth
Still I can’t handle it
If I were colder would you’ve stayed
A desperate second longer

I know what you mean
when you can’t give me more
After seeing what you’ve seen
Me flayed on your floor
I know what you mean
I tend to agree

It’s just lonely
It’s lonely

When you’re less, when you’re less
Than lovely you learn
To love less

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Spencer Cobrin

Dreaming, you’re dreaming of him again
And fighting with fists and wits but you never win
I thought you were over him

There’s a feeling
That there’s no one in the world worth defending
And time keeps moving on
Pretty youth is gone
Do you think your time has come

So lets link arms for one last drink
And here’s to the , here’s to the people who think
That they’ve worked it out

It’s trying when these people never tire of lying
And they’ll take anything that’s owned
But you’re not alone
‘Cause if you want I’d love to come along

So lets link arms for one last drink
And here’s to the, here’s to the people who think
That they’ve worked it out

So lets link arms for one last drink
And here’s to the , Cheers  to the people who think
That they’ve worked it out

And in the age of the saved’
Where self help reigns
We don’t give, we don’t give a fuck
Because we’ve given up

Music and Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

We will be free tonight
I want to see the stars
shining in your eyes
as this fated night arrives
We’ll leave these city lights
Temptation to despise
vanishes behind
I want to see the stars
Shining in your eyes

With your head cocked to the side
You make me realize
There’s not much more to life
Than those that we despise
I want to see the stars
Shining in your eyes

And as this sick feeling subsides
With butterflies inside
We show our smile lines
As we head towards the light
The stars they’re shining bright
Shining in your eyes

Lyrics by Scott William Matthew
Music by Spencer Cobrin

It could be the case
That this all is a waste
I clamor, I’ve climbed
I will fall from grace
I should know my place

And it could be a sign
That love and whiskey don’t rhyme
And you don’t know my name
Though I’m past my prime
You could turn back time

To complete the scene
It’s a hollywood ending
The close up kiss
Will be the twist
And take the place of the fear and the longing
I’ve known

To complete the scene
It’s a hollywood ending
The close up kiss
Will be the twist
And take the place of this real life of  longing
I’ve known

Music & Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

I’m a little black bird
nestled in the dark
you tell me there’s and outside
world
hurricanes and sparks

I’m a little black bird
Nestled In your palm
You tell me there’s an outside
World
I’m sure it can’t be as warm.

I don’t want to learn to fly

If I want the answers to thousands of questions
Tell me to
Throw them to the wind
I think we’ve found the one solution
To a thousand questions
Help me clip my wings

I don’t want to learn to fly
That would mean I’d say goodbye

Music & Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

I could tell a tale
Of a truce that failed
But instead I’ll tell a lie

It’s your time I’d steal
To make you feel what I feel
Believe me no-one likes that guy

Now I am left alone
You ain’t coming home
So it’s goodbye
Darlin goodbye

It’s taken this long
It’s taken this song
To expel the dirt
To break the shrine

It’s taken this song
To feel the true sting
To let go of what has died

Now I am left alone
You ain’t coming home
So it’s goodbye
Darlin goodbye
Goodbye
Dear goodbye

Music & Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

Today is your birthday
And it’s got me thinking
About the passing of time
What it means to be alive

It may seem like a mystery
But a friendship with history
Kinda makes sense of why I try

Felicity it’s your birthday
Felicity happy birthday
Felicity when friendship becomes family
It helps me with the mystery

Our fingers and toes may have grown
But in my mind I like to go
Back to the place where we didn’t know
That you’d be a mother, a wife
And so many other things in this life
It helps me to know
Where the time goes

Felicity it’s your birthday
Felicity happy birthday
Felicity when friendship becomes family
It helps me with the mystery

Music & Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

You want a piece of me
The vermin birds have done their worst
And now there’s nothing left
Severed hearts and all history
When hope has died
To be held may not amount to much
But try

Sleep little dream
Perchance to scream
But your not alone
I will save you from the demon
Weeds you’ve sown
Little dream why can’t you see
You’re not alone

It’s wasted time to believe in me
All good boys should go to bed
And really so should I
Sweet till darkness creeps up on me
It rattles round the room
And taps me on my head

Sleep little dream
Perchance to scream
But your not alone
I will save you from the demon
Seeds you’ve grown
Little dream perhaps you’ll see
Your not alone

Music & Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

I’ve made a hole
I put you in
And for a time
It looked like I’d win
But that holes a home
There’s no change in time
And I’m the tomb
As when you were mine

And now what we’ve made
Will Fray and fade
But I’ll always
Hear it cry
Let it decay away
With the pain and the pride
It will still
Eat me inside
And I’ve buried what has died
Alive

You better mark my words
’cause your prayers Won’t work
And it’s never smart to vow
Death do us part
Now that holes your home
There’s no change in tide
And I’m the tomb
It’s as if you’re still mine

And now what we’ve made
Will Fray and fade
But I’ll always
Hear it cry
Let it decay away
With the pain and the pride
It will still
Eat me inside
And I’ve buried what has died
Alive

Music & Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

Somethings happening, first for a while
(why are you crying)
A thousand, million butterflies make me smile
( I fear the boys falling in love)
And it’s happening to me
God I’ve been lonely
A heart washed out to sea
And could you love me
And save me from this cities debris

The chaste, the waist, replaced with valentine
( you better start smiling)
All the stars and guitars combine if you are mine
( I fear the boys falling in love)

And it’s happening to me
God I’ve been lonely
A heart washed out to sea
And could you love me
And save me from this misery

Don’t make a fuss
(it’s a must)
The gods demand
( that you take his hand)
We’re in for better days
( you know you are his only friend)
A command from my heart
( let it start)
Let this dream come true

( why are you crying)
( the wonder of falling in love)

And it’s happening to me
God I’ve been lonely
A heart washed out to sea
And could you love me
And save me from this cities debris

( you better start smiling)
( the wonder of falling in love)

Music & Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

On the way down
I can’t help remembering
A taste in his mouth
My sweet reassuring
As trust turns to dust
Guess I’ll be ignoring you now

He’s on the way out
All love sick hypodermics
All his needling
My needing of an addict
Show me some peace
I’ll show you there’s no hard feelings

I’ll even tell them to
“please leave him be
Leave him to bleed”
And I’ll leave
As he beautifully goes to seed.

Right from the start
A text book denial
A taste in his mouth
Deceptive and chemical
Repay my money
I’ll show you there’s no hard feelings

I’ll even tell them to
“please leave him be
Leave him to bleed”
And I’ll leave
As he beautifully goes to seed.
And I’ll leave
As he beautifully goes to seed.

Music & Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

For some it seems a mistake
For me it’s a way of life
To resign to the wait
For something to shed a light

For the path to be clear
And common sense to replace the fear
For the tables to turn
To be gallantry’s favorite son

So you go ’bout your day
I’m happy to wait
I’ll wait

It comes as no surprise
That I can see in the dark
For some it’s compromise
To waste a life on a fabled spark

But each and every empty day
Is a day closer to just what might
Be it if I can only taste
A sweet Kiss in the afterlife

So you go on your way
I’m happy to wait
I’ll wait

For some it seems a mistake
For me it’s a way of life
To resign to the wait
For something to shed a light

But each and every empty day
Is a day closer to just what might
Be it if I can only taste
A sweet Kiss in the afterlife

Music & Lyrics by Scott William Matthew

They break our ties
And tell us that our thoughts are lies
Because we know there’s nothing on the other side
Called hell
And they can’t seem to keep us down

They break our lovely necks because we stuck them out
Because we dare to question what the hell they’re on about
And they can’t seem to keep us down

Are you scared ’cause your losing control
Are you scared ’cause your losing that hold

So break our bones and back they’ll grow and don’t you know
The world you think you own
Is only yours on loan
Don’t you dare to keep us down
Don’t you dare to keep us down

Are you scared ’cause your losing control
Are you scared ’cause your losing that hold

Be prepared, you’ve been warned, you’ve been told
Are you scared ’cause your losing that hold

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

I no longer can rely
on a friend who once kept me alive
and you won’t see me take a stand
’cause I’m not special but it helped to know that some one thinks I am
and god its weird

I no longer feel at home
I cant arrive upon your street
and tell you how I’ve cried myself to sleep
and now  I’m forced to be alone
and left to climb the walls hide in the folds
another bad sad song
and god its weird
god its strange
to be the only one to talk to
god its weird
and god its strange
to be the only one to dance with

god its weird
god its strange
to be the only one
to be the only one

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

little bird on a high wire
wish you would come down to earth
and peck a kiss on my shoulder
leave a mark and make me better
and if you take off your mask
I swear to you,
I’ll work on my past habits
and the end will never start

And I am absolutely sure
I’m all yours

happy songs have worked for some
If I’m not wrong
this is my first one
and now that I have stopped my crying
peck a kiss upon this smile

and I am absolutely true
I love you

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

I wake up to find there’s no face in my hands
again a god with the cruelest of plans
and again the mistake we call love
to apologize adds to insult
your words they stream oh beyond blasphemy
a pin in the eye of all I hope to be
so just say it and set yourself free
and no ones as sorry as me
so please,please don’t please please don’t
your words they scream oh beyond blasphemy
a pin in the eye of all I hope to be
an apology’s a forgery
the laziest lie in history
so please ,please don’t, please don,t bother

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

I walk a tight rope
and live with a high hope
that somehow we still feel the same
through this catastrophe it’s quietly telling me we’ll confess that word
again

I don’t care if the worlds upside down if you’re lost or you’re found
I know your feet will stay far from the ground
If you just stick around

I know the shots you call gentle
cause I could fall and break
yeah I hear what they say

I read between the lines
It cuts like a hate crime
And tell me today is not the day

I don’t care if the worlds upside down if you’re lost or I’m found
I know your feet will stay far from the ground
If you just stick around

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

with every sweet hello
there’s a bitter good bye
with every happy song
there’s the one to make you cry
with every traveled road
there’s a curse that wont die
I know you’re not the only one
You’re the only one with a knife

CHORUS
Still you sing “here’s one
here’s one for the valley
here’s one for your family”
there’s never one for me
Still you sing “here’s one
here’s one for the tree
where your heart is buried”
there’s never one for me
there’s never one for me

The longing the alone
with a fall from a height
and now you’ve come and gone
must the whole of europe die
we know that you inherit light
but for who does it shine
oh ’cause now I’ve lost the right
to consider you mine

CHORUS
Still you sing “here’s one
here’s one for the valley
here’s one for your family”
there’s never one for me
and here I’m left to sing
oh you kissed so damn easy
did you show it just to tease me
the sweetest treachery
there’s never one for me
there’s never one for me

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

there is a family that prays
’cause we’ve turned out this way
and a sickly sect condones
saying that we’ve turned out wrong
and they twist and they turn
all the truth that we have learned
in the darkest of oceans there’s light

and to all our friends and foes
simply all you need to know
to love is to live
to receive is to give
so saddle beside me
sing and celebrate changing
from the darkest of moments to light

Lyrics & Music by Scott William Matthew

 you are here and i am there
i’m underground you’re in the air
i’m starting to believe
that you’re a seed and i’m a tree
I’m alone , you’re company
never the twain shall meet
oh ain’t it bittersweet

and you stop and i start
to prepare for a broken heart now
lets agree to disagree
and you can sail to shore as i drift out to sea

i move to fast , you’re slow to start
i’m in the clouds , your in the past
i’m simple , you’re elite
i’m happiness you’re misery
you like to laugh but just at me
never the twain shall meet
oh ain’t it bittersweet

and you stop and i start
to prepare for a broken heart now
lets agree to disagree
and you can sail to shore as i drift out to sea

run , now the hope has gone
now there’s no fun now we’re undone

and you stop and i start
to prepare for a broken heart now
lets agree to disagree

and you stop and i start
to prepare for a broken heart now
lets agree to disagree
we agree to disagree

and you can sail to shore as i drift out to sea
