Default Songs of mine

I'm under the impression I start a thread to post my lyrics and songs? Definitely looking for some constructive criticism. I am planning on recording an EP and have written some new material for it but just trying to gauge what people enjoy more. So here are a few links to songs and their lyrics.

'One Day'



One day I will have understanding, one day I won't put up a fight
Ill trick my mind into thinking, what is really wrong is right
Say one step is just too close
Two steps will be too far
One day we will find the middle ground
And I'm sure we will be who we really are
No doubt the lies will be abandoned
For a truth that makes its mark
As the crash will fight safe landing
When the light guiding us won't spark

One day ill have understanding, one day I won't put up a fight
Ill trick my heart into loving, like a blind man given first sight
Winking one eye at your god
Blinking both out of this dream
One day I'll find the middle ground
Ill stage the reoccurring themes
I'll pull up a seat and watch them dance
Applaud the leading actor in the scene
For making me forget everybody else
For giving me room to breathe

One day ill have understanding, one day I might believe
Until then I'll pay close attention,
To the silence that I get when I need ya
When the quiet just gets too much
I'll say that it wasn't enough
To just be within an inch of your reach
Living in a place you can't see.

One day I'll see you here standing, I'll take my sigh of relief.
Say one step is just too close
Two steps will be too far
One day we will find middle ground
And I'm sure we will be who we really are
One day I'll see you here standing, I'll take my sigh of relief.
One day ill have understanding, one day I might believe

'Breathe Deep'

Say what you please
But all the curses you keep
Well they stepped on me toes
And followed me home
I went dead in the knees
I fell down because I couldn't believe
There was your warning sign
Tracing back to where you said you would hide it
Stop staring me down
Breathe deep, it seems well we got you, you don't know
You just act, you don't wait
You just take and you fake
You've got weeds you don't show
And I'm better off to know

It's good to know that you've done this its time, its fine to release us now
It's just how it goes at least now we know
Just to fade and to steer from the life that we won't know
You stutter, stutter, just say - we came so close
To feel alive, to feel the most, but as high as a kite we're gone

Breathe deep, it seems well we got you, you don't know
You just act, you don't wait
You just take and you fake
You've got weeds you don't show
And I'm better off to know

It's all coming down, so gather round
The tables have turned on you somehow
And if you can't find the words
Don't expect to be heard
Start stepping behind the lines that you crossed and then tried to deny

My first ever original song.
'Master Plan'

Ooh, I cannot wait, there's something I need to say
No more moving real slow taking it day by day
Put your master plan in motion, no reason to mess me up
Too scared of all my diseases mistaking me for a fake

I sat down I knew, there was no mistaking now what i'd seen
As I was pushing my world down this road
I'd seen your eyes girl and I was so flippin' suprised
All the reasons I left had stayed on your mind
Ohh, the reasons I'd left had stayed on your mind

Ooh, you can push through this life is just give and take,
But there seems to be few who understand the exchange
Put your master plan in motion and strive to free your mind
and rid yourself of this pain, escape from your mistakes

Ooh, do you understand what I am saying?
Was I just a consequence or the soul aim of your mission?
and am I to blame or were you just a waste of time?
Can I let go of this moment, just move on and just grow older?

'Harder to Relate'

It would be easier if I didn't know the difference
If I didn't see it in black and white
Who knew learning more would make it mean less?
It's now a matter of wrong or right

I've lost the feel, the art and motion
Tried so many turns my wheels are broken

Where my fury resides, there is something trying to hide
Something I'm afraid to say
It's simple to disguise it with a turn of a phrase
But that just makes it harder to relate

This concentration is a gift from being stuck in reverse
The words flow now but yesterday I couldn't write a verse
Who knew what was dwelling in my mind?
Just took a simple structure and made it mine

I take the feel and ride a simple notion
The words spill out the seal is broken

I definitely want to pursue it. Weather I like it or not my brain thinks music. I will write and play no matter what. I'm doing the odd gig here and there but I feel I need to have an EP or at least some solid recordings that I can push. I am in it for the passion first, I understand the nature of the music industry, especially today - there is little money to be made. I'll still dive in and see what happens.
