LYRICS:
[VERSE 1]:
It's a mainline, it's a mainline to your heart.
(ha, ha)
And it roams free, and it raids your soul apart.
(ha, ha)
And they say..

[CHORUS]:
Come into our arms and feel,
The lives we've lived, the ones we've healed.
(War, War)
Come into our arms and feel,
The lives we've lived, the ones yet healed.

[VERSE 2]:
It's a warning, it's a warning to restart.
(ha, ha)
And you'll move free, and you'll move but won't depart.
(ha, ha)
And they say..

[CHORUS]:
Come into our arms and feel,
The lives we've lived, the ones we've healed.
(War, War)
Come into our arms and feel,
The lives we've lived, the ones yet healed.
Come into our arms and feel,
The lives we've lived, the ones yet healed.

[OUTRO]:
Who'd awake? Who'd awake, from this War? (when?)
And who'd awake? Oh when? Rise up from your flaws. (stand)
Coiling in the dark; fears, faults; who's the win?
Wrapped in all your sighs; fleshed, out; crawling through your skin,
It's never up to, never up to you, it’s never up to, you.

Title Track of the Second Skin album released in April 2025.
Lola Demo’s Second Skin, released in April 2025, is a raw and unapologetic 17-track album that dives deep into the darker layers of emotion, identity, and survival. Blending goth, alternative rock, and dark electronica, the record carries a visceral intensity that feels both intimate and defiant. Written, performed, and produced by Lola Demo herself in a home-studio setting, Second Skin exposes the fragile and fierce sides of human experience — from betrayal and manipulation to healing and reclamation. Tracks like “He Gets Away With Murder,” “Fractured Mind,” and the haunting title song embody a deeply confessional energy, where atmospheric soundscapes and jagged beats collide with honest, wounded vocals. It’s not a polished mainstream release but a deeply personal exploration of strength through vulnerability — an album that resonates with anyone who’s had to rebuild from the inside out.
Available on all streaming platforms and at https:lolademo.bancamp.com

They arrive with silver tongues,
glossed over like neon angels,
waving scripture like credit cards,
slipping salvation in plastic sleeves.

Jesus wears a shiny suit tonight,
stitched in gold and televised light,
selling grace in installment plans,
to the crowd with trembling hands.

Hymns fall like lottery tickets,
scratched hope on velvet pulpits,
every “hallelujah” a product line,
every “amen” another dime.

Jesus wears a shiny suit tonight,
mirrored shoes catch heaven’s sight,
blessing the faithful with staged applause,
between commercials for righteous cause.

Is it gospel or is it theatre?
A holy market, a velvet dealer,
faith flipped under spotlight beams,
truth auctioned in packaged dreams.

And when the lights collapse to dust,
who counts the coins, who holds the trust?
Only echoes remain in the empty pews,
a shiny suit, and worn-out shoes.

Albert Street

As a song indirectly about nation-building but directly about the eye-brow raising freedoms that linger in the aftermath of building western democratic countries like Canada, centuries later its citizens patterned a new way forward for Canada: creating an ever changing definition of itself, year after year. But is the sustainable nature of a democratic nation conducive enough to construct one shared identity today, all this time later? Should citizens have 'stock' in domestic and international matters to an extent? Can the terms and conditions of our national history of blood, sacrifice, negotiation and compromise, lies and untruths, and follow-throughs of success and admiration be rewritten?

THP questions the assumptions left suspended in time. As a nation and as an entity which has continued along the path of walking a fine line between generosity and greed, war and peace, Canada takes center stage in this number. The lyrics twist and turn in typical THP fashion while incorporating and highlighting symbolisms and old world primeval notions of growth within a context akin to the development of democracies. Long Way Down uniquely conveys the significance of our national colours (red and white), the effects of togetherness and solitude, and giving voice to those who have served, built, fought for and defended our nation.

The song blends ethereal guitars, restrained percussion, and weary vocals into a slow descent — equal parts surreal and grounded, peaceful and unsettling.

LYRICS:

Soaring
Sailing
Nodded peaceful state
The red
Bleeding
And white still met

Hide cloth, Slab rock
Cold blood, Freedom
Scorched earth, Relent
Bygone, Attention

Sweet broadened conduit
It's a long way down
Feel it out but don't croak
Are you not around?
Quite vain might be fame again
Tall stage trip clown
Neat talk and onto it
It's a long way down

Soldiers 
Sharing
One final picnic

Hard shell, Your tool
Fresh paint, Remade
Parched globe, Spinning
New age, Disengage

Sweet broadened conduit
It's a long way down
Feel it out but don't croak
Are you not around?
Quite vain might be fame again
Tall stage, trip clown
Neat talk and onto it
It's a long way down.

Long Way Down

Blood in the Water

Originally called Warlocks and originally written in 2007. This is my single, Left Me For Dead. This is an original song, that is written, produced and recorded by Calyx Kre/Astral Realm Beats. 

This song is of rebirth, self-realization, and divine timing. You are the Queen of Cups, guided by Pluto’s alchemy in Aquarius, rising from the depths with compassion as your strength, intuition as your compass, and emotion as your magic.
The message is clear:
“Trust the unseen. Flow like water. You are loved, guided, and transforming into your highest truth. The impossible is not out of reach — it is already becoming you.”

Left Me For Dead

You Are Jesus…(Funk)

Vocals updated 26.11 in this remake - a personal monologue if you will...

In the dead of night I wonder
I wonder what was right
in the dead of night
I wonder … ...

To helllll with it all

I watch the sky, sky is bleeding, just bleeding…
My love remains - intact and easy – so easy
There was the time when we were dreaming
just dreaming, but then the sky kept bleeding, just bleeding
My love became - uneasy – so uneasy
Love was to remain free with feelin… true feeling
But life became - uneasy – so uneasy
Where it leads - is to be seen – to be seen
Where it leads me - so uneasy – so uneasy

To hellll … with it all

Disaster ... after … every … fakinn … fall

Sky is Bleeding - the metal version - 80s thrash metal vibes combined with doom metal tunes.

Sky is bleeding ... REMAKE - Lyrics

INTROSPECTION

INTROSPECTION (Techno Dub Meet Dark Electro)

This is the demo with just my piano and vocals recorded for production to be added.  I've decided to share as this is the last song I will write and record this year.  Thank you to everyone who's listened and supported my music this year.

Produced, written and performed by Sarah Paradise-Brown

The night is hollow where you stood
But I stand weak, my blood tastes good
Your scent still lingers in the air
I reach out but you’re not there

If love can tell what death has made
Then let me fall let me be unafraid
The dark won’t hide what I have known
Your hunger carved in flesh and bone

Take my heart
Though it beats in chains
Take my soul
Through the endless pain

If I must burn
Then let me burn for you
I cannot live
But I can love
Like mortals do

Your voice exists within my brain
A broken hymn that still remains
I curse the gift that keeps me whole
Immortal nights

If love can tell what death has made
Then let me fall let me be unafraid
A bleeding cry my spirit weeps
For you alone, are what I need

Take my heart
Though it beats in chains
Take my soul
Through the endless pain

If I must burn
Then let me burn for you
I cannot live
But I can love
Like mortals do

They call you monster
They curse your name
But still your light
Ignites my flame

If I must walk this world alone
I’d dream of you
And call it home

Take my soul
Take my soul
If I must burn
Then let me burn for you
I cannot live
But I can love
Like mortals do

Like mortals do
Like mortals do
Like mortals do

Like Mortals Do
