“Brighter Days (Male Version)” A raw, reflective blues-soul anthem sung from the chest of a man who's been to hell and walked home barefoot. “Brighter Days” blends stripped-back soul with classic blues energy, pulling from heartbreak, survival, and redemption. A voice full of gravel and gospel — he ain’t perfect… but he’s here.

Brighter Days

(Verse 1)
I wake up in the morning, the sun is barely bright,
But I know what's waiting, it's a day full of delight.
My desk is my kingdom, my papers are my troops,
And my paper clips, oh darling, they keep everything in loops. 

(Chorus)
Oh paper clips, you hold me together,
In this world of chaos, you're my only tether.
With your little bend and your metal might,
You keep my life from falling into the night. 

(Verse 2)
I organize my thoughts, I file them neatly away,
Each one a memory, each one a balm to the fray.
And there you are, by my side every day,
My paper clips holding it all at bay. 

(Bridge)
You're not just metal; you're strength and you're grace,
In this office jungle, you help me find space.
You bind and you connect; you make things right,
Oh paper clips darling', with you everything feels light. 

(Chorus)
Oh paper clips', you hold me together',
In this world of chaos', 'you're'my'only'tether'.
With your little bend and your metal might',
You keep my life from falling into the night'.

Paperclips.... (Win lyrics from Spellhammer Medical Labs, Paperclip Festival)

A haze of velvet horns, broken hearts, and clever turns of phrase, Cigarettes & Figures of Speech is a smoky lounge of jazzy hip-hop ballads that speak in riddles and rhymes. Each track drifts like smoke through alleyways of memory and metaphor—crooning confessions wrapped in idioms, laid over upright basslines and dusty drums. It’s a late-night conversation between the soul and the subconscious, where every lyric is a double entendre and every beat feels like flickering candlelight. Smooth, soulful, and seductively smart—this album doesn’t just play, it speaks.

Back in Your Arms

We sat on your old rooftop

This is a Star Trek-themed song, from the point of view of Marta, the Orion girl, as featured in Season 3, episode 14 of Star Trek: TOS, "Whom Gods Destroy* (played by Yvonne Craig, the original Batgirl).

(Verse 1)
I’m the shade of emerald night,
They call me slave, but they don’t get it right.
On Orion, we whisper sweet refrains…
But the women hold the power,
And the men wear the chains.

(Chorus)
He’s my lo-o-ver…
And I have to kill him.
That’s the secret written under my skin…
He’s my lo-o-ver…
But I cannot forgive him.
Is it madness, or the game I’m in?

(Verse 2)
We spread the story, oh soft and low,
Sympathy’s a flower we let them grow.
They see a victim, a delicate prize…
But I’m the serpent
With the painted eyes.

(Chorus)
He’s my lo-o-ver…
And I have to kill him.
The voices shimmer in the candlelight.
He’s my lo-o-ver…
And I have to still him.
Green girls rule in the velvet night.

(Bridge)
Slave to the stars… queen in disguise…
Madness is music… and power is lies…
The galaxy pities the girl it sees…
But I am the sickness behind the disease.

(Final Chorus)
He’s my lo-o-ver…
And I have to kill him.
A pretty cage is a crown I wear.
He’s my lo-o-ver…
But I’ll surely spill him.
Green lies bloom in the perfumed air…

(Outro – spoken)
“Orion girls… write the stories… you believe…”

He's My Lover (Marta's Song)
