Death & Taxes

Don’t feel sorry for me
I like to set fire to myself for everybody to see
I crave attention ‘cause I never seem to get it from you
Something I can’t seem to get used to
There’s not much I can count on
There ain’t much solid ground where I can walk
The only thing guaranteed
The only thing certain in this life of ours
Is death, taxes and you breaking my heart
I’m just a fly on the wall
A little feather you throw in the air just to see me fall
I’m like the typecast actor always playing the part
Of the dude who has no chance from the start
Trying to keep myself from falling apart
I’ve got duct tape covering all of the scars
There’s no use trying to hide it
No need to fight it
It’s not like this is anything new

I Just Want To Believe

All I ever wanted was a chance
A little melody to play so I could dance
Now I’ve finally found my grace
And my heart’s in the right place
I’m no longer afraid ‘cause you showed me
What I’ve been feeling
What I’ve been needing
Something to believe in
Something to trust
Don’t make me run from myself
Don’t make me run from what I’ve never felt
Don’t make me shun all the feelings entwined that took so long to weave
Don’t make me fall after I knelt
Don’t make me fall for anyone else
Don’t make me follow the path of lovers who just wanted to leave
‘Cause I just want to believe
So don’t waste time on fighting
Or waste time on running away
Make time to stay
With the ones who don’t judge you and want to be there to see you grow old
And never want to let go
So make time for passion
Make time for the ones that you love
Make time for us

Up In Flames

She spilled a box of our things across the kitchen floor
Letters and memories, dreams of a future that’s all but passed anymore
Fragments of our lives
Flashing before my eyes
I’ve found a better way than breaking my back to clean up all your lies
I’m gonna strike a match and watch it fly
Burn whatever’s left of you and I
And let the ashes rain all over me
I won’t sleep ‘til the last spark dies
Just like the one that lives inside your eyes
And no one will say that I’m to blame
‘Cause you’re the one who set our future up in flames
Maybe I was wrong to give up after all this time
But something about the way you acted don’t add up in my mind
How could you deceive me, knock our temple to the ground?
It took us so long to build it
And no time to bring it down
So turn your eyes toward the skies
That’s our world going up in smoke tonight

My Last Stand
04:31

There’s another stepping stone you’ve picked up and thrown
If I could put them all together, I’d have a mountain of my own
It’s hard enough to climb when your failure’s all around
I’m gonna do my best to bring this mountain to the ground
If my dreams were to fall
And my life was slowly fading
I’m gonna show you what I’m made of
Gotta show how much I care
If I can’t get through to you somehow
And you’re ready to move on
I’m gonna leave you with a memory of a man
Who gave you all he had
And you’ll never doubt the man I am
‘Cause this is my last stand
My last stand
I’m going out with both hands toward the skies
One filled with pride, the other wondering why
It had to be this way
You could’ve looked me in the eye
We could’ve worked this out
I didn’t have to die inside
If my dreams were to fall
And my life was slowly fading
I’m gonna show you what I’m made of
Gotta show how much I care
If I can’t get through to you somehow
And you’re ready to move on
I’m gonna leave you with a memory of a man
Who never turned his back and gave you all he had
And you’ll never doubt the man I am
‘Cause this is my last stand
My last stand
There’s another stepping stone you’ve picked up and thrown
If I could put them all together I’d have a mountain of my own

Sweeter Than The Sun
03:43

Baby, somebody told you the world was flat
But, if memory serves, I’m pretty sure Columbus put an end to that
I promise you baby we won’t fall off
There’s no way we’re gonna end
What you see on the horizon
Is where our hearts have always been
I know this road
I’ve never been here but I can feel it
I hear you whisper in my ear and I believe it
So baby take my hand
We’ll head toward the promised land
Where we can act out every love song that’s been sung
And our lives will be sweeter than the sun
Sweeter than the sun
Baby, why don’t we pretend we’re Lewis and Clark
Forget everything we’ve learned and make a brand new start
You’re never gonna find what’s never been found
Unless you take a chance and start looking around
Never say never, we might find forever in love
Sweeter than the sun and knowing we’re in good graces
After looking around in all the wrong places
We’re taking back the future that’s been slipping away
Repeat Chorus
Baby, somebody told you the world was flat

Drowning In You
04:43

I hear it dripping in the hallway
I hear it dripping on the phone
I feel it running down my face while I’m lying all alone
There’s not a crack in the sink
There’s not a leak in the roof
What’s slipping through my fingers is everything I knew
It feels like I’m drowning in you
Feels like the flood is passing through
The waters are rising and all I see is blue
It feels like I’m slipping
And your arms are the only thing I’ve left to hold on to
If we don’t stop this sinking I’ll surely be drowning in you
I’m on a ship with no direction
I’m on a ship that’s losing steam
If I don’t patch up all the floorboards we’ll be lost in sorrow’s seas
I’ve got a bucket labeled memories I use to throw the bad ones out
But I need you here beside me ‘cause we’re slowly going down without your help
We closed our eyes
Jumped in head first
Smooth sailing at the start
But somewhere among the rapids I lost sight of where you are
So is there any rescue in our future?
Or did we get in too deep?
In too deep

Dustin Seymour De Land, Florida
After walking away from a terrible car accident with nothing more than a few scratches, my eyes were opened. I knew there was more that I was meant to do, to say... to sing. That's what I was able to do with my newest EP "What I'm Made Of". These self-penned songs were written with healing and progress in mind. It's time to let people know who Dustin Seymour really is. ... more
