Mr. Skeleton 03:10
lyrics

Do you know what it's like to not breathe for hours To feel empty inside and cough up blood in the shower You won't know till you die, how it feels to be sober When it's all over, can I control or Do I keep on testing Cause I'm getting restless This hole in my stomach has become an obsession So I'm asking this question Do you see the regression In my expression Help me Do you know what it's like to feel hollow To feel every swallow, to feel hungry but not though Do you know what it's like to be empty I don't let it tempt me, can somebody help me I keep pushing myself Might end up losing myself Going with nothin when there's food on the shelf I keep tightening by belt Feeling hungry as hell But to eat is to be weak oh I might as well Keep on saying I won't Keep on saying I don't But I'm starting to feel my bones show I decide when I'm done I decide when to run You can call me Mr. Skeleton Mr. Skeleton Don't you know why my bones show at night Don't you know why I don't go in the daylight Can't you see my framework be undone Can't you see I'm Mr. Skeleton Two hundred bleached bones, and a white skull Hands like stones, like ivory gulls No scratch that, backlash, my hands are red The only bleached bones are the ones inside my head I keep pushing myself Might end up losing myself Going with nothin when there's food on the shelf I keep tightening by belt Feeling hungry as hell But to eat is to be weak oh I might as well Keep on saying I won't Keep on saying I don't But I'm starting to feel my bones show I decide when I'm done I decide when to run You can call me Mr. Skeleton Mr. Skeleton Do you now see This shade of ivory Is not just my keys But it's inside of me I keep pushing myself Might end up losing myself Going with nothin when there's food on the shelf I keep tightening by belt Feeling hungry as hell But to eat is to be weak oh I might as well Keep on saying I won't Keep on saying I don't But I'm starting to feel my bones show I decide when I'm done I decide when to run You can call me Mr. Skeleton Mr. Skeleton Mr. Skeleton knows my name Mr. Skeleton sees my shame Every bone, every single one It's all me, I'm Mr. Skeleton

Black Bullet 03:26

Another sleepless night In paradise Why can't I Close my eyes Shadows only lie when the time is right Black Bullet round the corner right between my eyes Ink spots, combination locks 9mm Glock, and a stopwatch Promise that you'll try to keep in touch With a Black Bullet I figured just as much Yeah I am gunpowder you are the lead You are a sunflower drifting through my head I am a silver screen she makes my heart bleed Have me screaming Black Bullet please Black Bullet please Another day with you away What's the way for me to say Summer dreams haunt my mind Black bullet I need you in my life Heat stroke, I just might choke Heart broke before I even know I promise that one day I'll find your soul Black bullet where did you go Yeah I am gunpowder you are the lead You are a sunflower drifting through my head I am a silver screen she makes my heart bleed Have me screaming Black Bullet please Black Bullet please Warm nights with the ceiling fan on Up late playing sad songs Hope that I can find someone Hope that I'm not wrong Mind drifting in the dark Why can't I play my part Don't know how much I can go through Black Bullet where are you Black Bullet where are you I am gunpowder you are the lead You are a sunflower drifting through my head I am a silver screen she makes my heart bleed Have me screaming Black Bullet please Black Bullet please Black Bullet please Black Bullet please

Another Fool 04:41

Ignorance is bliss, is it not Joshua Maybe your loose lips don't know past Dakota But you go to school, so you can be Another fool for society All this time that you waste Tell me, how did the blue pill taste You preach to me your ways all day Then at night beseech me stay Perhaps you only project your thoughts But then why do you protect what's wrong Don't go and act so innocent And act like you've read, all that there is to know You don't truly understand you just play pretend And then go on with the show Ignorance is bliss, is it not Joshua Maybe your loose lips don't know past Dakota But you go to school, so you can be Another fool for society All this time that you waste Tell me, when will you show your face If conscious ignorance is a crime Then you're doing life, without even knowing How is it that you live your life, a Soulless lie, without even showing I wouldn't even care for you thoughts Live your life where you're lost And keep going into this abyss But you had to have your say Won't you get away, and live your life in ignorance Ignorance is bliss, is it not Joshua Maybe your loose lips don't know past Dakota But you go to school, so you can be Another fool for society All this time that you waste Tell me, when will you show your face You don't understand the weight of this situation You just stay at home and have your little hallucinations Words flow forth from your mouth, like gasoline at a station Combustible and weighing too much for good intentions Ignorance is bliss, is it not Joshua Maybe your loose lips don't know past Dakota But you go to school, so you can be Another fool for society All this time that you waste Tell me, when did you lose your place (All this time that you waste Tell me, when did you lose your place) Joshua, he follows all the rules Joshua, just another fool

There's no more soldiers Standing guard outside my gate I've let them wander And that was my mistake Cause now you've found me And no one stopped you at the door My heart is dripping Blood all over my floor Love is a game, and I don't wanna play Cause I can't never ever ever seem to win In the end, no not again Oh no no no woah But you don't seem to feel the same Cause you've gone and pulled me right on in There's no escape, all I can do is wait And pray that maybe this time is different It's almost over My time is coming to an end Don't want to wonder Wonder what could have ever been If I had chosen Had chosen to stay But it's too late now Today is judgement day Love is a game, and I don't wanna play Cause I can't never ever ever seem to win In the end, no not again Oh no no no woah But you don't seem to feel the same Cause you've gone and pulled me right on in There's no escape, all I can do is wait And pray that maybe this time is different There's no way It's too late There's no way No escape There's no way It's too late There's no way No escape There's no way It's too late There's no way No escape There's no way It's too late There's no way No escape Love is a game, and I don't wanna play Cause I can't never ever ever seem to win In the end, no not again Oh no no no woah But you don't seem to feel the same Cause you've gone and pulled me right on in There's no escape, all I can do is wait And pray that maybe this time is different

Run and run and run and hide And tell me that you feel alive If you don't think once, think twice I'll see you on the other side And if you think it's worth your time Then you can try to visualize But if you do, don't be surprised Sometimes it ends in homicide I don't think you understand What you are dealing with If you want to try your luck That's a chance that you can choose to give But if you feel you've torn through And when you can't get up Don't say I didn't warn you When you decided to try your luck Try your luck with me and You just might see that A personality can Be more than it seems when You play with fire Sometimes you get hurt And if you are a liar You just might get So tell me tell me tell me why You always have to pick a fight Even when you know your size Won't make you see eye to eye Why do you always have to lie And wonder why you always cry You're still losing sleep at night Deception is a parasite I don't think you understand What you are dealing with If you want to try your luck That's a chance that you can choose to give But if you feel you've torn through And when you can't get up Don't say I didn't warn you When you decided to try your luck Try your luck with me and You just might see that A personality can Be more than it seems when You play with fire Sometimes you get hurt And if you are a liar You just might get blood on your shirt Tell me why you think you Don't have to, play by the rules Tell a lie, bend the truth I won't be somebody's fool By your words, you will be Held on to, I don't know what's worse Lie to me, I warned you You might need, a new shirt Try your luck with me and You just might see that A personality can Be more than it seems when You play with fire Sometimes you get hurt And if you are a liar You just might get blood on your shirt

Heart Alive 04:04

Walk outside, breath in the air and choke on my own breath This burning cold, bites my throat, and fills my lungs with death Feel the creeping need, to cough and bleed, As pain fills up my neck Can barely even stand on my feet, I think my ribs are about to crack I just want, to feel a heartbeat inside Is that such a crime Oh please, tell me What it means, to be Warm inside, oh heart alive What it means, to be Warm inside, oh heart alive Can you please, tell me The binding cold, consumes me whole, knowing my weakness And dagger points, burst from my joints, and poke holes in my flesh The pain of years, blinds me with tears, and I draw my last breath But the pain comes back, I guess I'm not dead, I should be used to it I just want, to feel a heartbeat inside Is that such a crime Oh please, tell me What it means, to be Warm inside, oh heart alive What it means, to be Warm inside, oh heart alive Can you please, tell me Now the pain is gone, and I carry on, but to breath in is still a test And though I feel myself again, I still would like to rest My lack of sleep, and bruises deep, I might be missing a sense But I must be moving on, or it'll be back again I just want, to feel a heartbeat inside Is that such a crime Oh please, tell me What it means, to be Warm inside, oh heart alive What it means, to be Warm inside, oh heart alive Can you please, tell me Warm inside, oh heart alive What it means, to be Warm inside, oh heart alive Can you please, tell me

Woah, woah Uh huh huh Uh huh huh If only you could see That I'm trying to be Exactly what you want from me I know it's strange for you It's new to me too But please believe me, and see it through Others will say That I'm just the same But we both know that's not true Cause they're slaves to their screens Losing memories Wasting time, Wasting Life Who are they trying to please You, themselves, or me? Wasting time, wasting life Please look at me I want you to see Exactly what I'm trying to be I know it's hard for you It's something completely new But please look at me when I look at you Oh don't ya know Why they're all alone They don't think so But I see through Cause they're slaves to their screens Losing memories Wasting time, Wasting Life Who are they trying to please You, themselves, or me Wasting time, wasting life Just turn off your screens Make some memories You're wasting time, Wasting Life Who are you trying to please Yourself, someone else, or me You're wasting time, Wasting Life Wasting time, Wasting Life

Meet me in the parking lot Under the pale blue moonlight Tell me that you have got What I've been looking for all night And if it seems like something's off I promise you it's all right Just let me tell you what I'm not Before the clock strikes midnight I know what you're needing And you're still here pleading It's time we go away I'm a Groovemaker Heart breaker If you're looking for something more fulfilling Lady killer Bone chiller We can work it all out God willing Oh oh oh You couldn't hurt me if you tried Ah ah ah I'm just not that kinda guy There was something that was said Oh so very long ago Can't seem to get it out of your head And it's making you miserable It keeps you up at night in your bed When you're getting all the visuals Ever think that maybe instead You could just let it go I know that you've been dreaming And that you've been scheming But it won't matter anyway I'm a Groovemaker Soul shaker If you're thinking that maybe I'm not forgiving Sweet talker Night stalker Then maybe you don't know the life I've been living Oh oh oh Tell me why would I lie Ah ah ah I'm just not that kinda guy Tell me what you want Just say to me I won't give my heart No not today I don't like to play To play these games I am just oh So familiar I think that you talk Too much too much Don't think quite as much As you put on When all is said and And done and done I will be the one Who is still the Groovemaker Breathtaker People say they find these words confusing Big teaser Crowd pleaser I find that to be quite amusing Oh oh oh oh oh They say I'm too young to die Ie ie ie ie ie Maybe I'm just that kinda guy

Enjoy it, cause it won't last for very long Remind you the truth of your past, you won't like this song Cause I'm pointing out your flaws, and I'm saying that you're wrong Cause you've fallen in my jaws, and my bite is far too strong Pretty soon, can't tell me what to do anymore And I'm sorry I'm not sorry that you're fighting what I'm fighting for You may think that I'm just a boy what difference can I make But you won't think that when it's your breath, that I take I don't think I can say that you made me this way But you've pushed me to the edge and drove me insane Too bad, so sad, you had your chance but not anymore You could've done something but you did nothing, now there's blood on the floor Now there's blood on the floor I gave you everything but you always wanted more Pretty soon, can't tell me what to do anymore And I'm sorry I'm not sorry that you're fighting what I'm fighting for You may think that I'm just a boy what difference can I make Well you won't think that when it's your breath, that I take Only the good die young But I'd rather live a good life than a long one That's why don't wish to be old Cause to get there you have to sell your soul I know above he'd let me in So I don't fear what's down below So I don't wanna be old Not cause I don't wanna go But cause you either grow evil Or die the hero I can already feel a creeping fear God knows what it'll be in a few years Hopefully I won't live that long Meanwhile I'm singing these songs Somebody please tell me that I'm wrong But it won't matter when I'm gone When I'm gone Pretty soon, can't tell me what to do anymore And I'm sorry I'm not sorry that you're fighting what I'm fighting for You may think that I'm just a boy what difference can I make But you won't think that when it's your breath, that I take

The air is filled with desire As anticipation slowly fills your brain Who know what's in store All that and maybe more Don't let indulgence drive you insane Tonight is fitting to be a good time Feeling like maybe committing a crime You'll get yours and I'll get mine So strap in for a wild ride Oh come on Sleep walkers Seen with the watchful eyes of night stalkers Tonight We're feeling like kings and queens But in reality we're just fiends Step right up, step right up Come one come all folks You won't see something like this everyday A wonder of the modern world Witness the man who had it all So now you've gotten a little taste Of the three ring circus inside of my head Counting the casualties Just the formalities Not too loud, lest you wake the dead Tonight has been one hell of a night Trying to remember what's wrong and what's right Feeling like maybe starting a fight And at this point I actually might Oh come on Naysayers Don't tell me I don't have any takers Tonight We're feeling like kings and queens But we're actually Oh come on Blood suckers Before I change my mind to the other Don't lie We're feeling like kings and queens But we're actually just fiends Consumed by greed and despair A king fallen from his throne A shell of his former self A madman folks Woah watch out Stay back from the cage No, what are you doing No Oh come on Pallbearers Make your way up those thirteen stairs Tonight This really is such a scene Is this reality Oh come on Gravemakers Don't turn your back into despair Tonight The king has killed the queen And now he's feeling like a fiend Oh come on

Neon lights flashing in the store window Late at night, hot pinks and icy blues Walk inside some kind of freak show The air filled with a smoky violet hue Follow the lines to go with the air flow That's when my eyes make contact with you It feels like it's just us here alone It's do or die, and I know just what to do Sometimes it feels as though the world stands still When two people collide But fate will do what she will So just hold on for the ride Every time I see you darling You take my breath away But then in the evening honey You leave me wondering, questioning If tonight will be the Last time that I see your face Afraid that I'll look back And you'll be gone without a trace Without a trace All this time that I've been with you You'd think that I wouldn't be afraid I've lived my life with so many things to choose This is a choice that I need to make Why I'm afraid that I'm going to lose? I've wrote the script, I have set the stage It's in my mind, that I can't refuse The choice is mine, and I choose to leave my cage You told me that, you could never leave someone like me I know for a fact, that that wasn't true Fade to black, and I'm here on my knees It took all of that, to realize I don't need you Every time I see you darling You take my breath away But then in the evening honey You leave me wondering, questioning If tonight will be the Last time that I see your face Afraid that I'll look back And you'll be gone without a trace Without a trace La da da da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da da da Ooh Sometimes I don't realize That pain is the best disguise For someone who's internalized All the years and all the sacrifice Don't tell me to leave Just because you know you can't stay You might not believe But darling please don't be that way Every time I see you darling You take my breath away But then in the evening honey You leave me wondering, questioning If tonight will be the Last time that I see your face Afraid that I'll look back And you'll be gone without a trace Without a trace Without a trace Without a trace Without a trace

Samuel Wittmayer image

Samuel Wittmayer

My name is Samuel Wittmayer. When I was 16 years old I decided that I wanted to start writing music. A year later I met with a producer to record my first song. That was the start of a four and a half year journey to create my debut album 'Red Hands'. For a long time I was unsure if this project would ever see it's completion, but now that it has it feels surreal. Please enjoy! ... more
