Packy - Falling Up

Welcome

You've opened your eyes
To a world on fire
A stately funeral pyre
So where you going now

And as the flames burn low
And the embers glowed
I can’t hear a single word
That you're saying now

But I’m not the one to put it out

You emptied your heart
On a world in the dark
But your Lightning bolts have missed their mark
So what you throwing now

And when they are singing your song
Are you humming along
Even though they’ve got it all wrong
So whatcha singing now

And I'm not the one to shout it out

Feign a smile
But I can see it in your eyes
We’ve learned to live in dark ages 
But you’re desperate for the sunrise

Paint the night
Tracing the shadows in failing light
We’ve learned to live in the dark ages
But we waiting on the sunrise..

Is It Over Yet?

Put It Out

Part 2 of the S.P.A.C.E. saga
prod. by James D
Words TDJ

There's no turning back now
There's an event horizon
I'm off the coverage map anyhow - No Verizon
No disguise could hide the surprise attack from my friends.
I'd re-up the supplies to my men but they're all dead.
I keep a rocket in my back pocket
I blast atomic.
Rain down like a comet
Can you hear me now? You can't stop it
Microphone getting so hot I'ma drop it
But it's burning hotter than the sun
So I'm leaving nothing but ashes in my palm when I'm done.

The planets are all ashes 
The stars are all dust
The station's been destroyed 
There's no one left to trust.

The planet's in ashes.
The environment's in shambles.
I may as well be wearing a briar coat made out of brambles out here in thin zone
Trying to phone home but my signal is scrambled.
Trying to get a handle
But to make an omelette you gotta break a few eggs
Watch me upstage my enemies
Poison stinging like the tentacles of an anemone 
One day I'll make the shadow pay 
But it steady stays ahead of me.

Chorus (repeat)

Planets to Ashes

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]:
I know you're struggling,
I feel your heart breaking,
Just know I'm by your side,
Even though, even though I'm half the world away.

[Chorus]:
Half the world away.

[Verse 2]:
Please close your eyes tonight,
Imagine distant skies,
I'll be there for you to find,
Even when, even when I'm half the world away.

[Chorus]:
Half the world away.

[Bridge]:
I promise babe,
Every day,
That I'm astray,
You will find, you will find, you will find me,
Even when, even though I'm half the world away.

[Chorus]:
Half the world away.

Half The World Away

Had the guitar written for this for ages and recently put it to some nice lyrics about performing at an open mic, no ones listening except the one person you care about, and that's all you need. Lots of clean up possible but kinda burnt out on it and wanna move on, initially thought id have harmonising vocals and some strings but I never got them to work (hence the demo).

Lyrics:
The bar is filled with noise
Louder than my voice
My song will go unheard
Aren't open mics absurd
But you're always listening
I know that you care
lost the room but I'm focusing
On the moment that we share


Guess it feels the same
Our secret type of fame
You can't be outdone
My audience of one
Well do it all again
Our self indulgent game
You always make it fun
My audience of one


I crack a stupid joke
Your laughter gives me hope
You've heard them all before
Still laugh while they ignore
Dont care they're not listening
I just care that you do
Lost the room but I'm focusing
Focusing on you


Guess it feels the same
A secret type of fame
You can't be outdone
My audience of one
Well do it all again
Our self indulgent game
You always make it fun
My audience of one

Audience Of One (Demo)

Featuring https://soundcloud.com/melosopher on saxophone

Are you friend or foe?
Never seem to know with you
True, we share a name
But you don't feel the same, do you?
I'm baited and blistered
All because it's not for you

Did you think about it?
Or did you try to break it? 
Have you come to numb the pain?
In some world
Some day
You won't need to blame me
Could we try to start again?

Tear me down again
Just to feel the weight from you
Some won't let you near
While others lie in fear of you

Come in screaming
With your guns blazing
Have you come to numb the pain?
In some world
Some day
You won't need to blame me
Could we try to start again?

For The Love Of God

Empathy

The F-use debut album, I Don't Feel Like I Belong Here

Her little wrists
Set the mind to ease
Time we’ll see
How deep she buries me
How many turns till we know
That these lights are letting go

Letting go
Pissing out my nose
Already let me know
Was kicking around the bend
Kicking around

Got no love for her
Been wasting all her time
I’m out there
Not here
Somebody loves you
Somebody loves you
Somebody loves you 

It’s just too late
Never keep the rabid dogs
Hiding the wilt of disease
Steel tip in the door
Steel tips in the doors

Letting go
Pissing out my nose
Already let me know
What's kicking around the bend
Kicking around the bend
Kicking round the bend
Kicking round the bend
Kicking round the bend

Empathy
