When you're gone I'll be listening For the whispering wind Blowing you home When you're gone I'll be dreaming Waiting for the wind to blow you home Frequently we grind our teeth, gnawing our way through Now I just play hide and seek to find something true In dreams you call me, feel you claw me Awake, I'm craving you Drag me out into the street or bring me near to you

Shuffling 06:34
I need an uplifting Another dream Another me It's always the same old story Floaters in my eyes, I can't see in front of me I am pulling out the imagery Crawling in my eyelids, shuffling inside me Wishing they were real for the time being Friendly illusions, just let me keep them We left marks on the lawn, we were side to side, hand in hand The moon hung real low, we swore we'd stay awake to see it land And the grass, it grew taller but our bodies were like fossils in the ground So I'm looking up instead of down And thoughts of you are stickin' And each movement you make Burnin' right into my brain Reach into my chest, I mean it Take all that is left of my heart and keep it Shape it into what you need, I'll be it I'll be it I'll trace your hands and face with my fingers I just can't risk forgetting any feature of the perfect creature I've ever had the chance to know

I will not say anything but good words, just good words Will be coming out of me And i will stay within the lines that you draw me, and I'm sorry If I cross over them too soon 'Cause there is so much more for me to do And there is so much more for me to lose I've been trying hard to see past my bloody fingers and bloody knees And I've been fighting all my life it seems I'm only getting weak And there is so much more for me to do And there is so much more for me to lose Take, take take my face in your hands So I can take in all that I can And break from those things that I have depended on I can feel my brain repeating Moving backwards never feeling Any sort of pressure pushing habits far from me And mostly all good things grow old But I will, I will swallow it whole Now I'm soaking in the sweetest scenery Looking past all forms of self pity And hitting the lowest lows is nobody's fault but my own And last night in my dreams I lost you Screaming in my sleep, screaming and clawing at you.

Sparks 05:59
I found you lying in sheets of paper Reading in your sleep, Breathing in the ink And in my dreams You were walking off To something more beautiful than me, then I woke up And I saw sparks fly from your mouth when you spoke of You spoke of dreams and a life that I could be a part of I saw sparks fly from your mouth when you and I awoke Now with ashes on my bed, I can't sleep without coughing up a lung I found you lying in fields of feathers You were flying in your dreams But you were holding on to me And I called you but I got no answer I could feel you from so far It felt like home And I saw sparks fly from your mouth when you spoke of You spoke of a love you had found and took a hold of I saw sparks fly from your mouth when you and I awoke Now you breathe them into me, and I've got a love I can take a hold of

I'll pull out my teeth and place them right beside you All this flesh upon me, you can break it, cut it too Just mold me into whatever you want Make me any size and shape you want to hold on to Saying you don't feel a thing, Oh I'll make you feel something It's always something, always something You were walking away towards the blood red setting sun And I'm on my knees thinking "Oh no, anything but..." So I will wrap my arms, I will wrap my arms around your throat And I will find everything hiding in your pulse In every aching bone I've had the worst ideas behind them Every single problem just dilates, I've been Counting all the wrong placed in front of me So I'll build another home made of ocean salt To cover up my lungs and bury all the other parts Cause I'm just a gravedigger, I am no caretaker Oh, I'm just a gravedigger, I am no caretaker So I was walking away, walking off to that same old sun And now you're crying in my mouth about some reoccurring dream That you just can't stop And in the morning we won't say a word at all, we'll just laugh this off I am probably being reckless but I feel just free I'm in love with this life but it is not my life to keep No, it's not my life...it is not my life to keep

about

Twenty year old, Melissa Anthony, is making a name for herself as a singer/songwriter in the tri-state area. She possesses the rare ability to quiet a loud room with her haunting vocals and lyrics.

Nowhere does it show more than on her new FREE internet-only release, Melissa Anthony - “Live at The Saint”.

Recorded on May 23rd 2012, it finds the two time JAM (Jersey Acoustic Musician) award nominee in fine form, delivering her unique songwriting in such a way that you couldn’t imagine they could come from anyone else but her. Melissa is in the process of gathering songs for her anxiously awaited full length LP to be released in 2013. A full slate of live dates are on the schedule through 2012. The sky is the limit for this for this talented, young, upstart; please catch her at a venue near you.
