No More Questions 04:48
lyrics

It feels as though I have just been stung Now I know what it’s like to have my bell rung You ring my bell You do it well You’re like my guiding light run out of batteries If I replace these, will you be able to see The side of me You need to see? If you would just give me a sign, Then I’d know if it’s worth my time Stop giving me riddles and rhymes And I might not lose my mind When I get close you turn me away These mixed signals leave me in disarray When you say “go” Does it mean “no”? When we first met, no clouds were around Now you took the sun and buried it underground You’re all shadow But no soul If you would just give me a sign, Then I’d know if it’s worth my time Stop giving me riddles and rhymes And I might not lose my mind I know that you’ve been avoiding me If you continue to then there’ll be a void in me A void in me; you’re The one I need If you would just give me a sign, Then I’d know if it’s worth my time Stop giving me riddles and rhymes And I might not lose my mind I wish you would show me Your true intentions Then I would have to ask No more questions

Pillow Untouched 04:41
lyrics

Remote sits on a table The boy sits alone in his mind His thoughts leave him unstable Because they are never too kind Pillow untouched under covers Too alone to sleep tonight He pretends he is a lover Too bad all he knows is how to fight Give him a reason to come alive Show him the reason not to just give up on life Uncooked meal sits by the oven He’s too deflated even to eat The minutes pass by the dozens Yet the boy’s heart barely beats Blank spaces all around him He uses his mind to fill them in Imagination is empowering His search for peace within Give him a reason to come alive Show him the reason not to just give up on life ‘Right or wrong?’ is not the question More like ‘forgotten or never known?’ The boy tries to keep you guessing It’s too bad you never show Give him a reason to come alive Show him the reason not to just give up on life Get him believing that it’s not his fate Symptoms relieving because it is not too late Pillow untouched under covers Too alone to sleep tonight

Out Of Place 02:42

I’m sick of all this tension I haven’t learned my lesson I’m going out of my mind Nothing’s ever too kind To save me from this pain Yes I am insane But don’t pretend that you’re not I see it every day Something’s got to give Don’t know what it is I haven’t slept in so long I’m trying not to drone on When I lie down in bed This throbbing in my head Keeps me from my sweet dreams Everything I think seems Out of place It’s not so much confusion I’m more like disillusioned I can’t find a solution To take it all away So I continue fighting I’m kicking and I’m biting This place is uninviting I don’t know what to say Something’s got to give Don’t know what it is I haven’t slept in so long I’m trying not to drone on When I lie down in bed This throbbing in my head Keeps me from my sweet dreams Everything I think seems Out of place You shout it in my face You say I’m a disgrace I start to perceive it Maybe I believe that I don’t have any future I just need some sutures Sewing all my thoughts shut Keeping them inside Something’s got to give Don’t know what it is I haven’t slept in so long I’m trying not to drone on When I lie down in bed This throbbing in my head Keeps me from my sweet dreams Everything I think seems Out of place

Feel 04:47

I don’t feel like anything But I don’t want to do nothing When we all share a common dream Let’s end all this suffering Tell me why you think people are your enemy Tell me what you see when we’re walking down the street Tell me why you choose to be so unhappy Tell me why you seek to live in misery I I I I don’t know why why It is so hard for you I I I I don’t know why why It is so hard to do I don’t feel like anything But I don’t want to do nothing When we all share a common dream Let’s end all this suffering What do you gain from falling in line Other than pain that you strain to hide? Pretend that there is some great divide Against love there is no other side I I I I don’t know why why It is so hard for you I I I I don’t know why why It is so hard to do I don’t feel like anything But I don’t want to do nothing When we all share a common dream Let’s end all this suffering “Nothing’s wrong here” how dare you pretend When the whole world is on the mend Our society is approaching its end Still you debate the truth, my friend I I I I don’t know why why It is so hard for you I I I I don’t know why why It is so hard to do I don’t feel like anything But I don’t want to do nothing When we all share a common dream Let’s end all this suffering I I I I don’t know why why It is so hard for you I I I I don’t know why why It is so hard to do

Bloom 05:04

What starts here Takes a while to bloom Though it may be late Surely we’ll shine through Waited for proof, to end my doubt One drop of rain, could end the drought I lied in wait, dormant in the ground I germinate, and make them proud What starts here Takes a while to bloom Though it may be late Surely we’ll shine through The climb was long, and very steep My roots grew strong, they dug in deep I thought destiny, would not be mine After all this time, they see me shine What starts here Takes a while to bloom Though it may be late Surely we’ll shine through What starts here Takes a while to bloom Though it may be late Surely we’ll shine through

Closure 04:10
lyrics

Late at night I lie awake Praying that it’s me you’ll take Wondering when I will break Staring at the Picture frame that lies in wait Tempting me to curse my fate I wish that I could learn to hate Your image on the wall It’s not over I still need closure You tore me open And left me broken Hoping to reanimate No idea – what is the date? I’m eating off an empty plate Over and over To hear your voice would satiate To see you smile intoxicate But now I’m an invertebrate I keep devolving It’s not over I still need closure You tore me open And left me broken I barely make it through the day Even if I do I pay A price so steep that I must say I’m going under Hiding among shades of gray The ghost of you is here to stay Even if I ran away It would keep me haunted It’s not over I still need closure You tore me open And left me broken It’s not over I still need closure You tore me open And left me broken Put me together

The rage, the rage… The rage, the rage… You’re coming on too strong And what we do is wrong I want to push you away You convince me to stay You’re coming on too strong I love the way you make me feel When you’re around I know I’m real You call on me for play It gets me every day I love the way you make me feel When you course through my veins I finally release the pain Don’t ever leave me I need you to be complete Help me fight against the grave The rage, the rage, the rage is boiling up inside The rage, the rage, the rage is keeping me This has gone on too long I don’t like you to lead me on Either go and leave me be Or say what you feel for me This has gone on too long The thought of you I hold dear Emotions fade when you’re not here I wish just once that you could see All the joy you give to me The thought of you I hold dear When you course through my veins I finally release the pain Don’t ever leave me I need you to be complete Help me fight against the grave The rage, the rage… The rage, the rage… When you course through my veins I finally release the pain Don’t ever leave me I need you to be complete Help me fight against the grave The rage, the rage, the rage is boiling up inside The rage, the rage, the rage is keeping me alive

My Only One 04:34

Before I lost you, I had the divine I had discipline back when you were mine Before I lost you, I had someone so fine I had all of you back when you were mine Did you hide round a corner? Escape in a plane? You know you left me here insane You threw me from a truck, I fell to the floor Yet I still want you more And now I’m alone, wondering where you fled I adore you, that’s all; there’s nothing left to be said But just look how I suffer from my soul’s dedication I adore you and implore you to be my only one; you’ll be my only one I wanted you, I saw only your love I wanted you, I did not hurt from this pain so tough I wanted you, I drank from a tainted potion I wanted you, I had you, it was an illusion Did you hide round a corner? Escape in a plane? You know you left me here insane You threw me from a truck, I fell to the floor Yet I still want you more And now I’m alone, wondering where you fled I adore you, that’s all; there’s nothing left to be said But just look how I suffer from my soul’s dedication I adore you and implore you to be my only one; you’ll be my only one Don’t go into hiding any more Promise me that you will return And I will never know another’s touch Please, please don’t you leave me Don’t you leave me And now I’m alone, wondering where you fled I adore you, that’s all; there’s nothing left to be said But just look how I suffer from my soul’s dedication I adore you and implore you to be my only one; you’ll be my only one You’ll be my only one

Hey girl, what’s your sign? Apparently it’s “occupied” Tell me why do I even bother I know you’re leaving town But I thought this was going down To read you, girl, I need to be smarter But I’m not. I cannot read. Half of my. Own species. So I need some instruction That won’t get me blushing ‘Cause I’m not ashamed But when it comes to the test then I hope I’m not guessing If I have my way So it would be remiss If I did not ask this One favor from you Please show me the right way I came here to play I’m not here to lose Hey girl, what’s your sign? Apparently it’s “occupied” Tell me why do I even bother I know you’re leaving town But I thought this was going down To read you, girl, I need to be smarter But I’m not. I cannot read. Half of my. Own species. I went to college But I don’t have the knowledge That I seek This game is for the strong You know I won’t last long If I’m being meek I’m not into the chase But it would be off-base If you called me lame I just want that one girl My flag I will unfurl When I stake my claim Hey girl, what’s your sign? Apparently it’s “occupied” Tell me why do I even bother I know you’re leaving town But I thought this was going down To read you, girl, I need to be smarter But I’m not. I cannot read. Half of my. Own species. Hey girl, what’s your sign? Apparently it’s “occupied” Tell me why do I even bother

Indoctrinate me with hate Show me all your ways Teach me to fly, give me the sky And I’ll blow their world away Why does it have to be this way? I never thought I’d see the day You were not raised to be so cruel You’re being used like a tool How with your hate do you play it so cool? Indoctrinate me with hate Show me all your ways Teach me to fly, give me the sky And I’ll blow their world away It’s been four months since I’ve seen you last Amazing to see how you’ve changed so fast The fear in your eyes has switched to anger Those innocent souls don’t sense the danger Where is there noble savior? Indoctrinate me with hate Show me all your ways Tear the blinds away See the light of day People deserve love Not a bomb from above Don’t you dare! Indoctrinate me with hate Show me all your ways Teach me to fly, give me the sky And I’ll blow your world away

about

C Zero image

C Zero Houston, Texas

My name is Magown. I sing and play classical guitar. No smoke and mirrors, no frills, just substance and lots of it. My style is a fusion of alternative and pop in English and Spanish. I perform original songs that I have written. My sound is reminiscent of bands like Cartel, City of Lions, and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.

If you like my music, please tell somebody about me! Thank you.
