Lyrics: We were young, we were pointless and good at it Look at me now, do I make you proud We were dumb but my god we were good at it What a time what a time to be alive
Yeah you're burning the edge of me Laugh at me quietly Tell me it's fine to come home Yeah I'll swear it's a masterpiece Light up in ecstasy You're pulling me down pulling me down and
Do you want to wear a crown Would you feel better now If all the fires in the forest never made a sound Yeah it chills me to the bone That you're tied to your throne You tell me if I want to fly then I'll just fall alone
Chorus: We were young, we were pointless and good at it Look at me now, do I make you proud We were dumb but my god we were good at it What a time what a time to be alive
Yeah I climb up the walls I see You say it's too high for me Tell me it's time to come down down down Yeah the voices in my head turn me black and blue But it's funny how these voices they sound just like you
Take me in, wait me out, hold me in, break me down Let me in, calm me down, pull me in, let me out
(Chorus)
Yeah you're burning the edge of me Turning shadows into clarity 'Cause the world is gonna say no Just because you said so All these walls are made of ivory But they crack the more you lie to me Yeah I'm never gonna come home Never gonna come home

"Did Icarus Know" Lyrics:
Velvet skies and foggy nights It rained but never poured Loving you was perfect till it wasn't anymore Now all of the memories keep staining the new ones I make And I'm tired of repeating the same old mistakes Oh it's darker now but I'm still awake
I'm better now or so they say But I still think of you most days Wondering how your life's going without me I'm better now but grit my teeth Pretend like nothings haunting me Keep flying too close Did Icarus know That it hurts much less to be broken than be alone
Walking in and promising that I'm fine on my own No spiraling or listening for you in your dial tone Then hanging up and breaking down You sounded happier somehow When I obsess the quiets not so loud I'm better now or so they say But I still think of you most days Wondering how your life's going without me I'm better now but grit my teeth Pretend like nothings haunting me Keep flying too close Did Icarus know That it hurts much less to be broken than be alone
Maybe if I spend my nights with you on my mind I won't feel the empty space And it wont fill up my life When you become white noise I just need some white noise
I'm better now or so they say But I still think of you most days Wondering how your life's going without me I'm better now but grit my teeth Pretend like nothings haunting me Keep flying too close Did Icarus know That it hurts much less to be broken than be alone

"Perfect Stranger" Lyrics:
Hello hello hello yeah its the old me Do you still know me I don't know you Hello hello hello are we still fighting 'Cause all this silence Just feels like proof
Saw your engagement on the Internet To some guy that I've never met He's got some really stupid tattoos It's this Shakespearean biology That someone who was a part of me Could be the biggest part of me I lose
I'm asking Is this dreaming Guess I lost a best friend Left so quick were you saved by the bell Do they make you feel like you're someone else Is it easy When you smile at me, laugh, and say "Girl how you been?" You're making your jokes Like you weren't a traitor You were perfect to me But now you're a perfect stranger
Hello hello hello yeah its the old me If you'd have told me that me was not good enough I would have changed I know that's not what I'm supposed to say but I would have given damn near anything to make you stay so
Is this dreaming Guess I lost a best friend Left so quick were you saved by the bell Do they make you feel like you're someone else Is it easy When you smile at me, laugh, and say "Girl how you been?" You're making your jokes Like you weren't a traitor You were perfect to me But now you're a perfect
Perfect stranger There's nothing much stranger than losing someone you love Perfect stranger Am I the stranger that's holding on Or the stranger that's given up
Is this dreaming Guess I lost a best friend Left so quick were you saved by the bell Do they make you feel like you're someone else Is it easy When you smile at me, laugh and say Girl how you been You're making your jokes Like you weren't a traitor You were perfect to me But now you're a perfect stranger You were perfect for me but now you're just another forgettable stranger

Written, produced, mixed and mastered: Avaya Additional production: Riley Knapp
Lyrics: Watch out 'cause the ground's on fire And I'm running in place Yeah my heart starts to race But I couldn't care less about it Don't go down those twisty roads Yeah they swear I'll regret it But that's where I'm headed I couldn't care less about it
And maybe if I taste some poisons I will feel a rush But I won't know it's changed me until I have had a little too much A little too much
And I close my eyes I start daydreaming 'Cause the world's just more exciting when I do If I shut 'em out and keep daydreaming Maybe my life will play out like the movies do And I'll be that dangerous girl that you wish you knew
Watch out 'cause the ground's on fire And I don't really know why I'm not scared at all But ain't that the fucked up thing about being young Oh and my friends they have so many stories I wonder if they'll be as cool in their forties Would they be legends or just sad And would I end up like that
Maybe if I taste some poisons I will feel a rush And I will keep on chasing that feeling until the high is not enough It's never enough
So I close my eyes I start daydreaming 'Cause the world's just more exciting when I do If I shut 'em out and keep daydreaming Maybe my life will play out like the movies do And I'll be that dangerous girl that you wish you knew
Oh what if my life never starts What if nobody claims my heart What if everything stays the same Just like it does day after day And if I ever learned how to play Would I even be part of the game Or would it be the perfect excuse just to run away
So I close my eyes I start daydreaming 'Cause the world's just more exciting when I do If I shut 'em out and keep daydreaming Maybe my life will play out like the movies do And I'll be that dangerous girl that you wish you knew
#avaya #daydreamingi wrote a song.. Catch 22 // AvayaAvaya Music2021-06-02 | Now available on Spotify, Apple Music and much more! Stream "Catch 22" here: lnk.to/catch-22
Lyrics: I turn on the television We assume the same position Flipping through some channels But we're acting like it's long division Everything I say I love you seem to hate
And you don't like my friends You don't get along at all When I suggest a book You just find a way to stall And every time we talk about politics I wanna jump right through a wall
So how can I look at you and call you mine If you were anyone else I wouldn't try I know we don't make any sense but that's fine
At 18 thought I couldn't live without you At 19 you said shit but 20 I knew 21 I ended up telling the truth I hate you but love you Yeah you're just my catch 22
Friends proposing abolition Is it love or malnutrition Can't even agree on cilantro, wine, or our religion But every time I look in your eyes I get those butterflies
They say we look the other way We're ignoring our expiration date And to all of those people Poor clueless people I just say
At 18 thought I couldn't live without you At 19 you said shit but 20 I knew 21 I ended up telling the truth I hate you but love you Yeah you're just my catch 22
And we're bad on paper But don't want our story to end Not on the same page about anything So how'd you end up my very best friend
At 18 thought I couldn't live without you At 19 you said shit but 20 I knew 21 I ended up telling the truth I hate you but love you Yeah you're just my catch 22
#avaya #originalsong #catch22I wrote a song.. Walk On The Wire // AvayaAvaya Music2021-05-23 | Stream "Walk On The Wire" everywhere: lnk.to/walkonthewire
It's been a really sad time. Wrote a song about it.
Lyrics: Please don't look outside It blurs the lines too easily 'Cause it's too dark and yet so bright that I can barely see And as these falling stars are Tearing lines across the night I just can't seem to close my eyes
Stop breathing in 'Cause all you're breathing in is just the smoke And all of these mirrors that we're standing on Have all but bent and broke When you're holding out your hand for me But it just too far for me to reach
I wanna just sleep But how can I When the world's on fire When the world's on fire I wanna go home But how can I When my homes on fire When my homes on fire I walk on the wire
Please don't look outside 'Cause all these roads you've paved Are being painted black and white When it's just too far for me to see But I wonder if you still think of me
I wanna just sleep But how can I When the world's on fire When the world's on fire I wanna go home But how can I When my homes on fire When my homes on fire I walk on the wire
I wanna just sleep But how can I When the world's on fire When the world's on fire I wanna go home But how can I When my homes on fire When my homes on fire And I can't see the wire
Lyrics: Hello I am here to audition for the love of your life If it don't fit in a puzzle, carve it out with a knife There ain't a problem I can't solve by closing my eyes I keep closing my and I keep closing my
I'm in limbo but I'm feeling fine And I wanna live but I can't when you're on my mind
I'm tired of breaking hearts for you So tired of saying I'm confused They're always second choice to you Say you can't love hope Yeah that's impossible But I'm living proof
Hello I am here to audition but I don't stand a chance I've got a smile on my face but a lie on my hands And I swear that moving on was the plan No I'm not moving on I'm never moving on And I - I'm in limbo but I'm feeling fine I wanna live but I can't when you're on my mind
I'm tired of breaking hearts for you So tired of saying I'm confused They're always second choice to you Say you can't love hope Yeah that's impossible But I'm living proof
And they say that I'm crazy But I swear that I'm not If the world was just perfect We could give it a shot Yeah I'm scared to my bones 'Cause I question it all What if I never love like this again
I'm tired of breaking hearts for you So tired of saying I'm confused They're always second choice to you Say you can't love hope But I can't let go

Lyrics: I'm sorry for those sleepless nights Oh how could I forget I'm sorry for my friends they kept you up cuz they were sh-t I'm sorry for the boys I loved who laughed at your expense I'm sorry that I talk about how close we were in the past tense
Ohh oh and I love you and I know I hurt you Oh oh and I love you but I don't deserve you
I'm sorry I pretended and I said that I was fine I'm sorry when we argued I would always cross a line And when the smoke would clear yeah you would still be standing there Even when I pushed your arms away And said I didn't care
Oh oh and I love you and I know I hurt you Oh oh yeah I love you oh I love you
Rockabye baby this penny will fall and down will come everything F-ck ups and all I'll take my chances and write you this song To prove to everyone and to myself that you weren't wrong

I really wanted to talk about some things that I wished people had said to me when I started making music and ways to create that no one really told me about. In this vlog we discuss my current musical weaknesses as well as my Top 5 Lyric Cheats and Tips. Stick around until the end to see me read my old lyrics I wrote when I first started out (oh the humanity...) (Disclaimer: These are just personal tips that really helped me - everyone of course has their own way of creating and my way is by no means the "right" way.)

Lyrics: Wiser comes the man from the water reborn Still holds his stained clothes like they're all that he owns Take a look around and let him bleed I walk with scraped knees trying to find my way home You holding my hand just makes me feel more alone 'Cause i know that you'd rather stay with her
And maybe if we make a change It'll all be great, it can all be great can't it And maybe if we stay the same All our problems will fade away
Chorus: I know that you're coming home With her on your mind For the millionth time Paint over her face with mine And pretend I'm blind 'cause you think you're being kind If we just wait this out And we don't say a word of this out loud to anybody I know you'll find your way back to me Does that make me pathetic
Hungry comes the man from his dreaming He says, "I'm ready for love no matter how long it takes" Its funny how whats stupid sounds so sweet Take it out and hang it up 'Cause the inks bleeding through the crisp white sheets you love And we keep scratching at our faces in the dark Don't pretend you're asleep Then sneak out to your car

#edsheeran #theateam @Ed SheeranAurora - Running With The Wolves (Avaya Cover)Avaya Music2020-06-01 | With everything that is happening in the world right now, I was debating whether or not to put out a cover this week. As I was creating this one and singing the lyrics over and over, I realized just how much the words of this song seem to speak to what is happening right now. In the end I decided to post it. My heart goes out to the families of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many others that have lost their lives to discrimination and hatred. Thank god for the goodness in people and for the public outcry that is forcing the entire world to stop and take notice. #aurora #runningwiththewolves @AuroraMusic
(P.S the reason you see me say "YES" at the end of the video is because for some reason I kept messing up the lyrics and it took me like 10 takes to get it right)

Lyrics: We were 15 when I first saw your face Oh your mama just left and you're trying to be brave You took it out on the world but I liked you that way I said don't worry 'bout a thing I'll put you right back together again
You were 16 when you first kissed my face Oh you said that you loved me we both were so sure what it meant You took me to parties, showed me off to your friends Always held back my hair, isn't that what romance is
How could they know what a love costs How could they when they have never loved this hard and God knows I am trying Just surviving on this beauty in a tempest
We were 19 we thought we'd run away All they saw were the bruises, not the beautiful fire we made Oh we laugh and we cry, we make love and we'd fight Then we'd pick up the pieces and hold them together so tight
How could they know what a love costs How could they when they have never loved this hard And God knows I am trying Just surviving on this beauty in a tempest
We were 15 when I first saw your face Oh I saw all the problems but just couldn't turn away Now it's done and it's broken but I can't help wondering If I'll ever love so hard like that again
How could they know what a love costs How could they when they have never loved this hard and God knows I am trying Just surviving on this beauty in a tempest

Lyrics: Watching through rose colored goggles Yeah we got a problem and I know I'll only make it worse You're standing a little closer But everyone knows that You never really go for girls like me But we'll talk With your hand 'round my waist And that look in your face like it's gonna happen And I know that what we'll do is wrong But we both know I'm gonna do it anyways
Who cares if I'm losing my mind Just kiss me while we still have time And only you could make me feel like I'm one of you Who cares if I'm out of my head Turn my blood from blue to red Oh how the mighty ones fall And you won't remember me at all
Walking through a house of models And red cups and bottles The music is playing, the lights they move Yeah it's the right kind of blurry And we're in a hurry 'Cause I know we both see the empty room And we dance Yeah we're nose to nose Oh is this too close Is it gonna happen Is it right - now his hands in my hair And suddenly I don't care I do it anyways
Who cares if I'm losing my mind Just kiss me while we still have time And only you could make me feel like I'm one of you Who cares if I'm out of my head Turn my blood from blue to red Oh how the mighty ones fall And you won't remember me at all
And just for the moment Hold me tight, be my ride or die And I knew it was empty but god it's nice To feel alive And I don't do this normally He touches me, I can't breathe I know they are judging me But I don't really care
Who cares if I'm losing my mind Just kiss me while we still have time And only you could make me feel like I'm one of you Who cares if I'm out of my head Turn my blood from blue to red Oh how the mighty ones fall And you won't remember me at all
