  • Ain't Coming Back (SWU Demo)
    She walked out on Wednesday
    Thursday morning I was feeling fine
    She’s done me this way before
    She comes back by Friday every time
    My mood had soured somewhat by Sunday
    When she had not returned
    And now that Monday’s come and gone
    It looks there’s a lesson to be learned
    Maybe she’s giving me
    Another chance to straighten up my act
    Maybe I just need
    To open up my eyes and face the fact
    This time she ain’t coming back
    Once or twice I may have claimed
    To stand wrongly accused
    If you heard me say those words
    I was lying to you, too
    A woman’s heart can take a lot
    And find a way to mostly mend
    But when it falls to pieces
    You can never put it back again
    Maybe she’s giving me
    Another chance to straighten up my act
    Maybe I just need
    To open up my eyes and face the fact
    This time she ain’t coming back
    I guess there’s nothing left to say
    I guess there’s nothing to do
    I ain’t heard nothing from my baby since Wednesday afternoon
    I guess there’s nothing to convince her
    To want to try it again
    If she ain’t coming back
    This could be the end

  • She Dreams in Color (SWU Demo)
    She was born up near the border
    Near the Stevens county line
    There’s no memory of her time there
    She hasn’t tried to leave behind
    Daddy was not a kind man
    And her momma just detached
    And history repeats itself
    With any man she can catch
    The Pacific Northwest grays
    Always leave her in a haze
    These are the kind of days
    Best left in the past
    She tells herself that one day
    Gonna up and leave this town
    Forget about her life here
    Never turn around
    Pacific Northwest skies
    Make the world feel black and white
    It makes her want to cry
    Wondering what could have been
    But when she dreams, she dreams in colors
    Violet and tangerine
    Still believes she’ll meet another
    Who will know what she has seen
    Blue and red and green
    She dreams in color
    This world will try to beat you down
    It takes everything you got
    She’s given all she had to give
    Didn’t start out with a lot
    The Pacific Northwest grays
    Always leave her in a haze
    These are the kind of days
    Best left in the past
    But when she dreams, she dreams in colors
    Violet and tangerine
    Still believes she’ll meet another
    Who will know what she has seen
    Blue and red and green
    The girl she still has dreams
    She dreams in color

  • Humanity SWU Demo
    I know you got bones in your mouth
    See ‘em rattle and shake
    And twist into shape
    But nothing that makes
    Any sense ever seems to come out
    You got bones in your mouth
    I know you got brains in your skull
    You rock and you roll
    You got motor control
    You claim to be sharp
    Evidence would suggest that you’re dull
    You got brains in your skull
    You pay for things you could get for free
    They locked the door and you hold the key
    You are not blind, you just choose not to see
    Where is thy humanity?
    I know you got a heart in your chest
    It’s how you survive
    It keeps you alive
    Emotions that once lived within
    Have all been dispossessed
    You got a heart in your chest
    You used to have soul in your soul
    Reasoned and restrained
    But everything changed
    Incapable now
    Of exhibiting self control
    You used to have soul in your soul

  • Whatever It Takes (SWU Demo)
    I changed my number, I changed the locks
    BLACK POSTCARDS and a PO Box
    I quit my job, I dyed my hair
    I’m gonna vanish in the empty air
    Don’t try to reach me, I’m staying hid
    I’m on the lam, I’m off the grid
    Live in the shadows, I hold my breath
    I’m working on a plan to fake my death
    Whatever it takes to get away from you
    Whatever it takes to get away from you
    You’re so mean, you’re so cruel
    Never again to be your fool
    Killed the lights, I barred the door
    You won’t have me to kick around any more
    Whatever it takes to get away from you
    Whatever it takes to get away from you
    I can’t explain why you got a hold on me
    When all that you do is to bring me down
    I know that you won’t ever let me be
    This time you won’t be seeing me around
    Your heart is black, your skin is cold
    Somewhere deep inside you is an empty soul
    I’ve done my time, paid for my sins
    You know I’m never going back again

  • What Happens To Fools (SWU Demo)
    Stayed up all night and well into the morning
    The first time I met my calliope girl
    We chased the ghosts through the streets of New Orleans
    Conspired on how we’d take over the world
    Electricity in the air of Big Easy
    Ignited emotions that burned unrestrained
    I should have known that one day she’d release me
    Some wild horses can never be tamed
    I believed in love for a moment
    I believed a heart could be true
    I believed I would not be broken again
    But that’s just what happens to fools
    She’s a free spirit who turns on a dime
    She’s moving forward and left me behind
    And I’m stuck right here in this moment in time
    She’s flying high through the skies up above
    I know she’s flashing that same crooked smile
    Here I sit, grounded, unworthy of love
    Reckon I’m gonna stay here a while
    I believed in love for a moment
    I believed a heart could be true
    I believed I would not be broken again
    But that’s just what happens to fools
