All the Weight

This song came much later in my life, during the 2000s when I was part of a car club called "Silent Rage." The name of the club inspired the song, but the lyrics tapped into something much deeper - that feeling of controlled fury that builds up inside when life keeps pushing you around.

By this time, my songwriting had evolved significantly from those teenage heartbreak ballads of the mid-80s. "Silent Rage" is darker, more aggressive, with a heavy metal edge that reflects both my musical growth and a different kind of emotional landscape. Where my high school songs were about romantic betrayal, this was about life's broader frustrations - the kind of anger that simmers beneath the surface until it explodes.

The imagery in this song is much more intense: "A beast that's longing to explore," "A hurricane beneath the skin." I was writing about that moment when composure finally cracks, when you can't maintain the calm facade anymore. The repetitive chorus builds like the pressure it describes, and I specifically wrote in stage directions like "[Scorching Guitar Solo]" because I could hear exactly how this should sound - raw, aggressive, unrelenting.

The bridge represents that breaking point: "Erupting now, can't hold it back / The world around fades to black." It's about complete loss of control, which was a more mature theme than I could have tackled as a teenager.

What's interesting is how the car club connection influenced the whole vibe. We were all about power, speed, and that controlled aggression you need behind the wheel. The song became an anthem for that energy.

Decades later, with AI technology, I was finally able to hear "Silent Rage" with the heavy, driving sound I always envisioned. The contrast between this and my earlier, softer songs shows how both my life experiences and musical tastes had evolved, but the core need to express raw emotion through lyrics remained constant.

Light Like Fire

Aftermath

"Consumed By Smoke" was inspired by the disastrous Australian bush fires that began in the summer of 2019.

Lyrics:

As we're consumed by the smoke 
Ignite this rebellion on misery 
Daunting flames in a beckoning haze 
This is billowing entropy 
Beauty tainted 
Infinite smoke 
Submerging the modern man 
With blistered hands 
As we're consumed by the smoke 
We hope to see 
Salvation

Consumed By Smoke

Distorted lives 
Will not sow any lies back together 
Cravens won't abide 
Just a vile mastery of the mortals 
Innervated by the leverage upon us 
Become restrained as the powers confide us 
Begin fighting like a father protects 
Don't just turn your backs 
Expose the amoral truth 

Set ablaze let's cause a conclusion 
Don't let the good die and the vile thrive 

We will not be suppressed (This is our conviction) 
We will not be suppressed (Only we can crown them) 

Distorted lives 
Will not sow any lies back together 
Cravens won't abide 
Just a vile mastery of the mortals 
Innervated by the leverage upon us 
Become restrained as the powers confide us 
Begin fighting like a father protects 
Don't just turn your backs 
Expose The Amoral Truth 

Manipulated by the laws they've defined 
They will infiltrate just to keep us confined 
There's no choice 
Neglect our hope 
Let the storm wash your sins away 

We will not be suppressed (This is our conviction) 
We will not be suppressed (Only we can crown them) 

Peel off the cover on your lies 
Survival is our existence 
Let the storm wash your sins away 
Peel off the cover on your lies 
Survival is our existence 
Let the storm wash your sins away 

Wash your sins away 

Craving the anxious people 
Grasp them by their fears 
Brainwash the mindless people 
Show them how to feel 

Greed X2

The Surface (instrumental)

The Surface (Instrumental)

King of deception you've backstabbed again  
Won’t wait till we cross paths 
 I'm on the hunt for you  
 I will come for you  
Revenge is it's own executioner  
The morality of this punishment  is mine to choose  
  
As I try to put the pieces back together 
 I am tormented by lies  
 I'm tortured by the demons that overwhelm my soul 
 They were escorted into my life because of you 
 Because of you 
  
Now! 
 This is the day that you'll always remember 
 A haunted future  
A faded past  
 You have no hope for a better tomorrow 
 Get on your knees  
 You better bow and pray  
Pray!  
You better bow and pray 
  
King of deception you've backstabbed again 
 Now I am here ever flowing with hatred   
You're the devil breathing down my neck getting in my head  
 No more! 
  
But an eye for an eye and this world would go blind  
An eye for an eye and this world will die  
 Eye for an eye!   
You now walk all alone as the ghost of darkness  
You are the choirs conductor of hate   
Weapon of poison and pain  

You will burn  
You will burn, 
Go! 
 You will burn  
King of deception you will burn  
King of deception  
Burn!

As The Structure Fails

King of Deception

My heart is wasting away 
And I’m drowning in my sorrow 
And I’m loosing touch again 

My heart is racing away 
When I feel your touch 
When I’m in your presence 
Everything feels so right 
I wouldn’t throw this away 
Even if it meant the death of me 
The death of me 
Because without you 
I’m already dead 

You’re all that I see 
You’re in my heart and in my dreams 
You had reached perfection to me 

But what I failed to see 
Was right in front of me 
As my roots grew deeper to you 
They revealed the problems that I once saw through 
I looked to you when I needed insight 
You were my everything 
And all I thought I needed was right there 
But I’d be proven wrong 
Can I hold on any longer 
Or are we falling apart 
Forever I’ll see the sun rays glimpse your face 
I’ll hold you in my memory 
Forever these memories remain 
But let go! 

Lifeless I feel 
Scared I am 
Is this love wasted 
Or more pain to come 
Why do I care so much 
Why do I give a fuck 
Is this love wasted 
Or more pain to come 
Go! 
I’m done with your ways 
Done with your games 
Scarred with this pain 

My heart is wasting away 
And I’m drowning in my sorrow 
And I’m loosing touch again (X3)
