What To Do
03:02

|
And they say it's hard enough to
to get on by
Yet we find ourselves chasing dreams
Nearby the clouds and the sky
They say everything good
Will take some work
So get on with it
We only have so little time
So little time
And we don't know
Don't know
What to do with ourselves
What to do with ourselves
And we don't know
Don't know
What to do with ourselves
What to do with ourselves
Do we sit back
And watch them learn
Do we react and help them turn
Do we forgive each other
Stop pretending
We do we do we do
We do know
Cause we don't know
Don't know
What to do with ourselves
What to do with ourselves
And we don't know
Don't know
What to do with ourselves
What to do with ourselves
Instrumental verse
Cause we don't know
Don't know
What to do with ourselves
What to do with ourselves
And we don't know
Don't know
What to do with ourselves
What to do with ourselves

Nowhere To Go - Demo
01:50
|

|
Where do we go from here now
It's like our shoes are tied together
and yet you're still crawling near me
I never known you to quit things
To go forward...I feel the fear
I'm sorry to burst your bubble
Not much we can do together
can you feel the pressure
Can you feel it
(I can you feel it)
Can you feel it
(I can you feel it)
But our future is
Uncertain
Unclear
Unknown
I wonder how it ends
I'm getting tired of holding your face in my brain

Mighty the Fool

Sitting at the table
My heart feels quite unstable
I’m not sure I’ll be able to talk
The words are pouring out
I freeze I’m still in doubt
Don't ask me later…I think I was out
Her beauty astounds me
But her thoughts are always so crass
I try to deny it
But in matters of feelings
I was born unskilled
I’m mighty the fool
I’m mighty the fool
I’m mighty the fool
I watch her think it over
Could it be any slower
No way, don’t think this time
It’ll work out
I think we might be done
Can’t tell if I have won
I wish my brain was simple
It’s not
Her beauty astounds me
But her thoughts are so flat
I try to deny it
But in matters of feelings
I was born unskilled
I’m mighty the fool
I’m mighty the fool
I’m mighty the fool

No matter how far
Or how close you stay
Or where they think you are
You're still so far away
No matter what you do
Or even when you start
You think you have a clue
To set yourself apart
Life is just a sea
So sail away with me
I wanna be your lover
So just give me another
Life's an open sky
A million reasons why
I wanna be your lover
No matter how far
Or how lost you may be
Or who they think you are
You’re still a part of me
I'll sail to where you are
Even if you’re far
Let's find out who we are
Across the seven seas
Life is just a sea
So sail away with me
I wanna be your lover
So just give me another
Life's an open sky
A million reasons why
I wanna be your lover
Life's an open sky
A Million reasons why
Life's an open sea
Sail away with me
Sail away with me
Sail away with me
Sail away with me
No matter how you try
You keep going adrift
(No matter how I try
I keep going adrift)
You fail to realize
To float is to be free
(It's just that I can't see
How floating could be free?)
I'll stay here by your side
Whether near or far
Let’s soar above the skies
You’re bound to see we’re free
Free free free
(I hope to see we're free
I hope to feel so free
Free free free)

Kiss The Ground
02:50

|
Do take notice
Nothing worthwhile
Simply falls from the sky
From the sky
From the sky
From the sky
You take down
You bring the clouds
Down to the ground
You hope for the best in you
That what you got will get you through
You brace yourself as you’re falling down
You’ve reached too high
It's time to kiss
You've reached too high
It's time to kiss the ground
And we don’t know
What to do
What to do
With ourselves
And we don’t know
Don't know
What to do with ourselves
What to do with ourselves
Do we take in
For what is worth
Our time in this world
And bring all that we‘ll be
down down down
down down
From the sky
You take it down
You bring the clouds
Down to the ground
You hope for the best in you
That what you got will get you through
You brace yourself as you’re falling down
You’ve reached too high
It's time to kiss
You've reached too high
It's time to kiss the ground
It's time to kiss the ground
It's time to kiss the ground

Chord Fiction Fremont, California
Chord Fiction is indie pop folk music that stems from the mind and heart of David Salazar, a singer/songwriter in the SF bay
area.
The music he creates in his new act echoes the soft and understated melodies of artists the likes of Glen Hansard, Jack Johnson, or Damien Rice. Still, it also feels as forward-thinking as indie-folk heroes the likes of The Shins, Wilco, or Calexico.
