Atlas

Hello hello I am here as promised with another song!


G D Em C
Let me start, I’ll apologize for everything I put you through
I’m sorry that I wasn’t enough for you
I tried

And I know, the nights keep getting darker as time passes by
And you just want someone to watch the sky with you
I’m not the reason I can’t be someone for you

Am G D
But I’m left. Picking up the pieces.

G C Em D
So tell me who whose fault is it this time
Tell me who whose hand did you fold
You keep cutting me with a knife I don’t think you ever meant to hold

Don’t think we meant to fight, but I’m bleeding
Tell me, who gets to shoulder the blame?
I can feel us breaking, I’m sorry, I never learnt how to play your game

G D Em C
Look at us, I don’t know how cracks became this massive wall we built
I see you hurting but you won’t come shoulder the guilt
I guess it’s mine.

Am G D
So you leave me, picking up your pieces

G C Em D
So tell me who whose fault is it this time
Tell me who whose hand did you fold
You keep cutting me with a knife I don’t think you ever meant to hold

Don’t think we meant to fight, but I’m bleeding
Tell me, who gets to shoulder the blame?
I can feel us breaking, I’m sorry, I never learnt how to play your game

G C Em D
So tell me who whose fault is it this time
Is it finally you and not me?
I’m so tired of taking the blame when I’m not where you meant me to be

I know you’ve been hurting, I’ve been there
Grab my hand and I’ll help you get free
I need you to look me in the eyes I’ll help pull you out of the debris

G C Em D
So tell me who whose fault is it this time
Tell me who whose hand did you fold
You keep cutting me with a knife I don’t think you ever meant to hold

Don’t think we meant to fight, but I’m bleeding
Tell me, who gets to shoulder the blame?
I can feel us breaking, I’m sorry, I never learnt how to play your game

Waste of time

Guys I finally recorded the songsssss! You all should be proud of me, I’ve been putting this off for so long. I’ve got three lined up, so it’s gonna be consistent posting for the next few days! This one is about the same thing as a lot of my songs… see if you can figure it out. I’m really proud of this one though, I love how it turned out. Enjoy!!


Am C G
You don’t get to break me up again
Don’t get to pick this story’s end
I’m not naive I see the way that you don’t look at me

You don’t get to want to hold my hand
Don’t get to pay after you spend
Just step away this is my place and I won’t let you change me

F C G Am
It’s my blood you spilled not yours—this is not the time to ask for sympathy
Throw the battles, the wars—please don’t come crawling back to me on your knees

F G Em Am
This is where I close my eyes
When I open them I want to watch you leave
This is how I waste my time
I’m not sorry I’m not who you meant me to be

F G
This is a waste of time

Am C G
You don’t get to wish me a good night
Don’t get a kiss after we fight
I didn’t do this, it was you, won’t you apologize!?

You don’t get to laugh and play pretend
Don’t get to break my heart again
I’ve had enough, we’re done, stop telling me how hard you’ve cried

F C G Am
Who told you you’re right, I’m wrong?—I swear this endless ruse will be the death of me
This has gone on too long—I’m tired and I’ve given you too much of me

F G Em Am
This is where I close my eyes
When I open them I want to watch you leave
This is how I waste my time
I’m not sorry I’m not who you meant me to be

F G
This is a waste of time

F Em Am
This is a waste of time and we will never see eye to eye
Just let me go and find your own way, please
I’m not trying to hurt you I just need to breathe
Maybe one day we can make some time

F G Em Am
This is where I close my eyes
When I open them I want to watch you leave
This is how I waste my time
I’m not sorry I’m not who you meant me to be

This is a waste of time
We’re a waste of time

Make it out

Hello hello everyone! This month has been absolutely insane, even though I didn’t technically have school, so I was definitely putting off uploading this, but hey here we are! January is almost over and I wrote what I think is actually a really great song. I’m super proud of this one, and I hope everyone listening to it likes it as much as I do because I think it’s pretty great. Capo 1.


Dm C G
This is how to make it out
Keep it up it gets better now

Am F G Dm
And I know that it gets loud it gets so lonely in this house
I know you’re dreaming of a day when you don’t have to watch your mouth
And if you’re drowning in the silence come and find me I will sing you to sleep

F C
I’m sorry this world wasn’t kinder to you
G Am
And I’m sorry my demons came and fought with you too

I’ll help you climb out of the holes I fell in
And you’ll make it out… I’ll make sure of it

You’re a little like them and a little like me
And when you grow up I hope you like who you see

I promise I’ll keep you as safe as I can
And we’ll make it out… I’ll make sure of it

Dm C G
You’re standing where I stood before
I recognize this war of yours

Am F G Dm
And I wish it wasn’t like this oh I wish it had an end
But no the earth keeps turning we keep living a sad game of pretend
I swear that if you need me call me up and I’ll be there by your side

F C
I’m sorry this world wasn’t kinder to you
G Am
And I’m sorry my demons came and fought with you too

I’ll help you climb out of the holes I fell in
And you’ll make it out… I’ll make sure of it

You’re a little like them and a little like me
And when you grow up I hope you like who you see

I promise I’ll keep you as safe as I can
And we’ll make it out… I’ll make sure of it

I’m sorry this world wasn’t kind
And I’m sorry… you had to fight

I’ll help you climb out of these holes
You’ll make it out.

You’re a little bit like me
I hope you grow up to be who you want to be

I promise I’ll keep you safe
And we’ll make it out… I’ll make sure of it

Someday

Hey look it’s the other song I promised! I really like this one I think, I liked it more once my friend told me she really liked it. It’s way more uplifting than most of the stuff on here, also on capo 2, enjoy!

Better than me

I wrote this one a little bit ago, and I’m actually like super proud of it so please appreciate it because I love it a lot. Also, RECORDINGS! I sat down and finally recorded stuff for some of the backed up songs I haven’t gotten around to recording for yet, so go back and check those if you’re interested. I also have kind of a backlog of songs here, so I’m posting this one here, and I’ll post another one tomorrow? Maybe? If I remember? That one’ll have a recording too, I did that one today as well. Anyways, yeah! Enjoy! Oh also I played these chords two semitones up if that concerns anyone. Also also the note for hair and care in the bridge is A. Also also also I’m sorry the recording gets a little gross, I tried everything I swear, I think this is the best it can get.

Heartbreaker’s lullaby

Hi so I wrote a song! I’m iffy on the title, I really want to call it arsonist’s lullaby cause of all the fire imagery, but Hozier has a song called that and I don’t want to copycat. That being said, it’s very possible that I change it so… yeah. Also I swear I will put recordings in for both this and Some version of me at some point, I’m just swamped with work and I don’t have the time right now.


heartonfire

G
To start it off, let’s set the scene
Em
I used to be all soft and sweet
C
He broke me up, ruined me
D
Doused me in gasoline

G
I’d kiss him sweet, beneath the stars
Em
He tore me up, he wrecked my heart
C
And when I tried to restart
D
He’d burnt away all the good parts

G
Oh my world’s on fire and you’re made of ice
D
Don’t get too close you’ll pay the price
Em
I warned you honey, you should go
C
I’m broken, burning, listen close

G
I know I’m warm and you like the heat
D
Don’t play the game when I’m bound to cheat
Em
And when we kiss I know sparks fly
Am
That’s just the sound of this heartbreaker’s lullaby

G
We stayed in bed you made your choice
Em
You couldn’t block out the noise
C
I warned you of other boys
D
Told you I’d been destroyed

G
Oh my world’s on fire and you’re made of ice
D
Don’t get too close you’ll pay the price
Em
I warned you honey, you should go
C
I’m broken, burning, listen close

G
I know I’m warm and you like the heat
D
Don’t play the game when I’m bound to cheat
Em
And when we kiss I know sparks fly
Am
That’s just the sound of this heartbreaker’s lullaby

Am
You know I’m trying
Em
You know he cut me deep
G
You’ll end up like me
Bm
Broken burnt and bruised
Am
I wish he’d left me
Em
I wish I’d loved you right
G
And now look at us
Bm
Both of us we lose

G
Oh my world’s on fire and you’re made of ice
D
Don’t get too close you’ll pay the price
Em
I warned you honey, you should go
C
I’m broken, burning, listen close

G
I know I’m warm and you like the heat
D
Don’t play the game when I’m bound to cheat
Em
And when we kiss I know sparks fly
Am
That’s just the sound of this heartbreaker’s lullaby

Some version of me

Hi!!! Happy four year anniversary to this blog!!

This anniversary just snuck up on me, so I was kind of rushed to write a poem to post. I’ve been going through a bit of a rough time recently, so the whole writing thing isn’t going as well as I wish it were, but here’s that song I wrote back in March that I never got around to posting! I swear I’ll put in a recording soon… (if I remember) but for now this is what I’ve got. I’m honestly so proud of this blog.

Am
I’ve never
C
Been so far from
G
Home, but all I hear are cheers

Am 
Their expectations
C
Make me drown

The water’s at my ears

Dm                Am G
I’m just so tired of the weight I carry with me every day
Dm                    Am G                                       C
What if I’m becoming everything they want or what if I’m not


Oh where’s my place in all of this?
G
The world’s gone mad and I just can’t handle it!
Am
I’m just searching for a person to be
F
Hope when I’m grown up I’m still a version of me
C
Where do I fit in in all of this?
G
Feels like everyone else came with a script
Am
Turns out I’m not who I meant to be
F
Another disappointment, I see.

Am
Picture 
C
Perfect girl 
G
Who they – all thought they’d get to see

Am 
Suddenly
C
The future’s turned

Into my reality

Dm                Am G
I’m just so tired of how lost I’ve been feeling every day

I don’t know if I belong in this
G
I’m just scared and the world keeps turning
Am
Cause I’ve grown up and I don’t know who I’ll be

Hopefully some version of me

Snake bite kiss

Hello hello I am so so so excited! Why, you ask? I WROTE A SONG! It’s been EIGHT MONTHS since I’ve written one, and today I finally did. I am floating on air! So so so happy. Okay I think I need to go calm down, but uh, this is my song snake bite kiss. It’s about a boy who knows he’s bad news, and warns the girl against going for it, but she’s blind to it all, so stays with him even though he’s so clearly trouble. GAHH I’m so happy. Okay, bye, hope you enjoy!

D                          G               D A
He’d put me to sleep at night
D                          G        D A
With poisonous lullabies
D                     G                          D                          A
He’d tell me stories of the danger in his eyes
D                             G                    D                          A
We’d laugh the nights away, dancing on his lies

D                          G               D A
He’d warn me to stay away
D                            G              D       A
Told me he’d be deadly someday
D               G                    D                              A
I’d ignore him and inhale his toxic ways
D                      G                       D                     A
Wasn’t prepared for the empty gasping grey

Bm              G                   Em                       A
He used to tell me to beware the boys like him
Bm                    G          Em      A
That I wasn’t safe if I let them in

A                   Em                    G
He was an angel and a snake
D                                      A
He’d break my heart, come back with tape
Em                          G
We’d talk for hours, in pure bliss
D                          A
Lean in for one more snake bite kiss

D                             G                   D A
The others would warn me too
D                 G                                   D   A
Bout the poison I drank, they knew
D              G                        D                    A
They all saw the lethal venom in his views
D                  G                       D                                    A
His perfect lies would infect me through and through

Bm              G                    Em                               A
He used to tell me to beware the boys like him
Bm                         G                     Em               A
They wouldn’t leave once they got under my skin

A                   Em                    G
He was an angel and a snake

He’d break my heart, come back with tape
Em                          G
We’d talk for hours, in pure bliss
D                          A
Lean in for one more snake bite kiss

Em                       G
I’d care too much or not at all
D                             A
And when I fell, he’d let me fall
Em                         G
We never talked, I heard the hiss
D                                  A
But he’s still one more thing I’ll miss

For our sake

Written with a prompt I found online. It’s soooo pretty! Also, I may upgrade the blog, which would mean that you guys get audio recordings of my songs with the lyrics and chords, which would probably be a lot less annoying, so, fingers crossed!

The last hurrah

Okay. This song is basically me thinking about what it would be like to let people down . It sounds stupid, but I made a very pretty song about it. I’m just a freshman in high school, so it’s not really a problem now, but I feel it looming ahead. Anyways… here!

G
We were young and we were free
Em
Thought we could be what we wanted to be
C
Thought we could choose
D
Nothing to lose

G
We’d spend our time skipping through the grass
Em
Ignored the sand in the hourglass
C
We spent our days
D
In a rosy haze

C
And here we are the last hurrah
G
The one we’ve waited for
D
The one where all our dreams they turn
G
To dust
C
And here we are with the ones
G
Who’ve waited for so long
D
So put away our hopes and let
G
Them rust

G
Now we’re grown up and our eyes are clear
Em
Now we know we don’t get another year
C
You know best
D
You just lead the rest

G
Now I can see I’m just another pawn
Em
In a sea of never ever being wrong
C
Oh I confess
D
I can’t be the best

C
And here we are the last hurrah
G
The one we’ve waited for
D
The one where all our dreams they turn
G
To dust
C
And here we are with the ones
G
Who’ve waited for so long
D
So put away our hopes and let
G
Them rust

C
It was just a pipe dream
Em
One I would feed
Am
One I would let to hold me
D
And rock me to sleep

C
And here we are the last hurrah
G
The one we’ve waited for
D
The one where all our dreams they turn
G
To dust
c
And here we are with the ones
G
Who’ve waited for so long
D
So put away our hopes and let
G
Them rust
