This Is War

As I try to run away,
afraid that I may falter,
stumbling, I fall to the ground.
At the tearing of my flesh
the memories of my father
fill the air and I can hear the sound...
I find it so unnerving,
nothing else could bring me here today.
I find the words you speak,
the words you lie to be life threatening.
I find there's not much life,
I find there's not much life to find...
I find there's not much light,
I find there's never peace of mind...
With the weight of the world
pulling down on a string,
is it true that I'm here to stay?
Well I'd run and I'd hide,
but I do not know the way,
and I fear it's getting closed today.

You and I

So it's 3 am again
And look at where we are
Above Tempurpedic pillows
thoughts become a bit bizarre
I'll never have a shot
Of knowing who you are
A fool's obsession past repression
Tearing me apart
I could fill this song up
With simple rhymes
About destiny and you and me
And would you please be mine?
But what's the point?
It's all a waste of time
I'm better off just hoping for
A bit of sleep tonight
But even so...
I think you and I,
We could be something
Although it's no surprise
You'll never hear me sing.
All these days gone by
And nothing's changed
Could I just get some sleep tonight?
So it's 5 am this time
Not much on my mind
I wonder what's on yours but know it's
No business of mine.
I know it sounds absurd
That I formulate these rhymes
Just to soothe my simple soul
It leaves me oh so compromised...
So I'll wake up at 2 pm again
Knowing no one can
Feel the way I do
And it's such a shame I
n this game we all play
All my heart shaped pieces
They look like you

O my god, how can this be?
All this pain, neverending
If it's gone when I see your face
Oh God I cannot take
All this pain anymore
Why won't you come near
And not disappear?
Oh, just to prove me wrong
Oh, this was never my song
Now I feel so afraid
O my god, when will this cease?
All this doubt and uncertainty
If it's gone when I hear your voice
Oh God I have no choice
All I am is yours
Why won't you come near
And not disappear?
Oh, just to prove me wrong
Oh, this was never my song
Now I feel so hopelessly alone...
Where'd you go, oh God?
(You were right in front of me)

Sorry

God knows we're tired,
We've been at this way too long.
But I'm not surprised,
It's almost what we want.
'Cause I'm
A know-it-all,
And I would be the first to say I've
Never liked the taste of my own words.
I know it's wrong,
That I pretend to take a stand for
Anything the opposite of you.
Do we belong?
I'm sorry for all I've never done
(I'm a fool and I'm full of it)
I'm sorry for all I've never done
(I'm a fool and I'm full of it)
Sometimes you wanna turn around and run,
You know you're not the only one,
You know you're not the only one.
Time passes by,
Should we put it on the shelf?
'Cause we're so afraid
We'll turn into something else
Where I don't belong
And all of this is politics
And everything you hate, and broken words.
I know it's wrong,
But I won't be the last to say
I've always preferred salting my own wounds.
I'm sorry for all I've never done
(I'm a fool and I'm full of it)
I'm sorry for all I've never done
(I'm a fool and I'm full of it)
Sometimes I wanna turn around and run,
but I know I'm not the only one,
You know I'm not the only one.
But I don't want to be
Sorry for days and
Never change and
Stay the same and
Never be
The man I could be
Always searching,
Never learning
Please bear with me,
Please forgive me
I'm so sorry
that I'm so sorry.
I'm on my knees,
Won't you hold me?
I'm so sorry,
that I'm so sorry.

Just Friends

Do you remember when
When you and I we were just friends
And nothing more?
It seems so long ago,
Thought I was meant to be alone
But that was before
I realized I want to be by your side
And I'll do what I have to
Get you to always be mine
Because I've
Never met anyone like you and I
Want to be the one who stands by your side
Let it come, let it be the rest of my life
You know it's funny, love
I never thought you'd be the one
But here we are
Until the sun comes out
I don't care what we talk about
As long as I'm with you
'Cause I'm crazy about you, baby
And I'm tired of living with maybe

Sleepyheart Austin, Texas
Sleepyheart began in late 2016 as a solo project. I self-produced and recorded the Just Friends - EP, released in late
2017.
"You and I" has turned out to be the standout track, and is providing the best context for what I seek to create moving forward.
Since then, I've grown a lot as a person and have zeroed in on the sound/scene I hope to be a part of in the 2020s. Thx 4 listening -Nathaniel
