Let You Down (Demo)

I wish I could hold on to you.
I wish there was a way,
but the longer I'm with you,
The more it'll hurt you, babe.
and I don't wanna make things worse
You're perfect to me
but I'm like a chainsaw
and your hearts a tree
I'll only let you down
you don't need me around
I'll only let you down
And I can't you see me
in such dissarray
as much as i love you honey,
I know I can't stay
I'm like an anchor
you are a beautiful ship at sea
but i feel like a cancer
I think that you aught to get rid of me
I'll only let you down.

Artificial (Demo)

I feel so artificial.
I'm not who i pretend to be.
Maybe i should shine a light
upon myself and then you'd see
Why i feel so artificial
I wish we could start all over
Im wearing a mask like its the
last day of October
But if you could see
would you still love me
or would you say i'm no good
If you could see maybe id feel free
I’d turn back time if i could
I feel so artificial
But i guess it's too late
Cuz everything we have is
built upon this disguise i've made
I feel so artificial
Sorry i been so untrue
But I'm afraid to lose you
you know i love you
But if you could see would you still love me
Or would you push me away
If you could see maybe then
We could be who we were meant to be
Maybe someday

I Can't Tell You (Demo)

all my clothes are on the floor in a pile
I feel so low...I haven't been high in a while
Yesterday I dreamt we were walking down the isle
but the weight keeps pulling down my smile
I can't tell you how much I wish I could tell you
I can't tell you how much I wish I could tell you
I can't tell you how much I wish I could tell you
all about the things I'm hiding deep down too
afraid to speak it out loud
I always feel like my house is built on sand
Knees so weak, I am at the wind's command
and i keep falling flat everytime i make a plan
I can't seem to get a grip with all this dirt on my hands
And I can't tell you how much I wish I could tell you
all about the things I'm hiding deep down too
afraid to speak it out loud
I can't tell you how much I wish I could tell you
all about the things I'm hiding deep down too
afraid to speak it out loud

No Idea (Demo)
03:15
|

|
I'm terrified to look in the mirror.
I hate the person that I see.
Theres someone strange standing there,
but it's not quite me.
And it hurts to think about,
all the things that could be.
I'm finally starting to realize,
it's all a pipe-dream fantasy.
I've No Idea what to do
Wish I could sing my songs for you
But I've No Idea how to put the words together
I wouldn't blame you one bit,
if you left me behind.
I hardly know how to treat you,
and I guess I haven't been too kind
but I need you now more than ever
I've been keeping way too much inside
and I'd tell you the truth for once
If I only had the spine
I've no idea what to do
I Wish i could sing my songs for you
but I've no idea what I'd say,
if i had the strength to say it.

Rain (Demo)
03:29
|

|
She was an open book,
I was a locked up safe.
She always made time,
I just pushed her away
But When I was feeling blue
She knew just what to say
We shared a laugh or two,
and made everything okay
I'm a flower
and she is the rain
can't live without her
I couldn't endure the pain
I'm a flower
and she is the rain
she is the rain
she is the rain
I broke her heart
and I know its a sin
she treated me like gold
i treated her like tin
but when i was feeling sick
she was the medicine
I had no place to go
but she took me in
I'm a flower
and she is the rain
can't live without her
I couldn't endure the pain
I'm a flower
and she is the rain
she is the rain
she is the rain

Gene Henry Pennsylvania
I like to make music, but I never finish anything because I'm never satisfied with the end
result.
I've decided to just start posting my songs even if they're only in demo form (or sound like crap).
My intention is to paint the most complete picture of who I am, and what my music is all about.
