Feel Alive 03:35
Feel Alive Words and music by Matthew Schwartz How does this go? I’ve never done this, I don't know Well, either way I guess Let’s gather round and start this meeting For me I’m broke Damaged, cracked, barely afloat Hoping there’s a cure for who I am and how I’m ailing I used to think that I could fly A happy thought to touch the sky yet I’m falling I just want to feel alive For once feel something real inside I just want to feel it / oh i need to feel it Before this paint starts peeling I just want to feel alive We reap what we sow digging deep and letting go the constant to and fro But this is where we find our meaning Cause we won’t grow Won’t find that ebb that leads to flow If we don’t take this chance to Pack our things and then start leaving. No matter how hard, I try to truly live, not just survive this I’m climbing I can’t/won’t stop fighting

Comatose 04:34
Comatose Music by Matthew Schwartz Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz and Vincent Cellucci This is the last piece of me you’ll own just like our final talk on the phone Bear in mind that means I will not be coming home In part due to your selfish tone Goodbye, this bird has flown Goodbye, my heart’s gone Comatose Wait Hold my beer There’s so many things I’d love to say if I don’t just walk away from here. You used to be such a good friend, such a good friend So I’ve taken it upon myself to grab things and call this the end All right this kiss is rotten OK I know I’m stalling all right this bird has fallen OK alright I’m walking OK it’s time to say…. This is where I say
4.
Don’t Play Dead Music and lyrics by Matthew Schwartz Did you miss the mark? Hold for perspective Here’s a brand new start Room for reflection (reflection) We can dwell on things or we can let them go Listen to your heart and get yourself out of that head it's ok None of this matters anyway we all make mistakes Hell I just made more than three today So Darling / sweetie / Honey don’t hold back, no, don’t play dead When things get hard, listen to what I’ve said because it’s all ok None of this matters anyways Alright alright I don’t know your feelings But I’ll fight I’ll fight By your side baby No matter what obstacle life puts in your way when the task seems too large Your strength outweighs mine by far
5.
Hearts On Fire Music and lyrics by Matthew Schwartz Don’t hesitate It’s time to get tough Cut the ties that bind please don’t give up You’ve been saying for all these years that You were going to do this now Well, the door is opened You’ve got to muddle through somehow…. Hearts on Fire I’ll write the songs you play the choir Lift your voices high We are going to take what’s ours tonight Bring a match I’ve got the fuel we’ll take every mess we’ve made And burn it up too Clench your fists with closed eyes Take a step and breathe down deep Kill every excuse And repeat after me:
6.
Lola 04:27
Lola Music and lyrics by Matthew Schwartz Lola I’m so glad I know you When this whole world just don’t seem right You know I’m always gonna fight Lola I just want to hold you never gonna give up on you if it’s the last thing that I do I know it feels like you’re held captive now And that there’s nothing you can do But If we can just be patient Hold on to what we have The time will come when you’ll know what I know is true It may feel like it’s an eternity Like the world’s stopped and left you here But we both know that this ends Just close your eyes and listen a day will come when at last we touch skin to skin Reach out your hand for me I hold mine out too And when our fingers meet We’ll know it’s through I’ll finally be with you!
7.
Afterglow 03:57
Afterglow Music and lyrics by Matthew Schwartz Cut the lights and afterglow No need for proof cause I’ll still know Those curling lips and velvet eyes The thought alone keeps me alive Be my beacon, guide me home When I stumble, hold my bones Describe to me the love we own I'm in the dark, but not alone My life’s not where it used to be Fading from each memory But if I'm still, I know I see Guided by your melody
8.
Haunt You Music by Matthew Schwartz Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz and Eva Caspary Oh Why Can’t I step away this time From this ringing in my mind Damn these demands are so deafening Oh please Let this this guilt subside, release Give to peace in silence, Breathe Oh if this wind could just comfort me. Here goes Oh I sure hope I can make it Okay This won’t begin until I say At my pace with frequent breaks Who would have thought it would come to this? Oh to be To exist, be whole, and free To find strength when I feel weak Will there be peace on the other side? Have you made up your mind? Or did it itself decide? Every day you choose to live Means a struggle deep within Yet when our memory declines They’ll come back and haunt you.

I'm So Gone 03:57
I’m So Gone Words and music by Matthew Schwartz Words can fail I pray these won’t and that they reach you well It took me oh so long to see That you and me were meant to fall in love So here’s a glance At what happens when you take a chance Throwing all our caution to the wind Oh let’s begin I’ll start, please take my heart 3 weeks have passed, the best 3 weeks I’ve ever had to be frank I may be sleep deprived But I cannot lie I’m the happiest man alive. Honestly I can never seem to fall asleep when you are lying right there next to me My love, I’m so Gone

Agoraphobia 04:16
Agoraphobia Music by Matthew Schwartz Words by Matthew Schwartz and Vincent Cellucci The Koster family’s having drinks tonight There’s a show down on Ellis Street But I can’t be swayed to move my feet Chelsea’s has free beer and wine And I know that you’ve got my food But I just can’t get in the mood Rickey’s in town just for the night Zack and Rae will be there I love them all but I don’t care And there’s a block party out on our street With magic and art and exchange When can I just get some peace? Even if the phone rings Even if you send a text, two or three I will never leave Not sorry, this is what I need Even if you're outside You've paid my way and got my ride Oh politely I’ll decline I promise I’m alright Cause we aren’t going out tonight No we’re not going out tonight We aren’t going out tonight And I hope that that’s alright
11.
Run 04:20
Run Music by Matthew Schwartz Lyrics by Matthew Schwartz and Vincent Cellucci Celebrate with our tongues Persevere with our souls, open Dying words sound life out Or at least we’ll try And we run Though we’re in pieces And we run I’ll hold you, we’ll beat this And we run Not once retreating And we run All we know will change in time / All we know will change time I won’t let go Hold on tight brace yourself time speeds up from here Sand falls through my calloused hands as rain ascends in rewind
12.
Complicated, Confiscated Words and music by Matthew Schwartz Complicated This picture’s faded I’m all but gone from here right now Bleeding backwards Like a failing actor Who has chosen to forget their lines Confiscated Every single word has failed me To be and yet, not to be alone Hold me fast Like the ones before, this cannot last I’m sure I’ll make it out alive
13.
Leave 04:38
Leave Music and lyrics by Matthew Schwartz You better watch what you say I don’t care for your tone at all today How do you expect me to feel? When you throw all these hurtful words Is this real, real, real? Oh the pain outweighs grace Just please give me a little time and some space I don’t want to see your face Just take a moment to realize Just what you have said and done, oh yes I’m through You can say that you’re sorry And one day I’ll believe But until then I think you should leave And one day when this is over And all our swords are sheathed I think until then you should leave

Pacifico Atlanta, Georgia

True, it is the musical journey of singer/songwriter Matthew Schwartz, but Pacifico is more about the music than one person. Pacifico started in the summer of 1999 and since has gone through many changes but has always remained a solid outlet for great music. ... more
