From the darkest depths of the sea,
A large shadow did I see
There’s something evil watching me,
As a wave of fear comes over me

You will not take us alive,
Cause we will fight to survive
Fight through the fear

Well as the Kraken rises up
We power ahead, we’re not giving up
As giant limbs rise from the deep
We’re headed now for eternal sleep 

You will not swallow us alive,
Cause we will fight to survive
As I spear it through it’s eye  

As water slowly fills my lungs
I simply cannot breathe
As it draws me to its mouth
A calm comes over me

You will not take us alive,
Guess I was wrong this time 
As I looked into it’s eye

Kraken

As I begin to fall asleep
My mind takes me away
To somewhere I have been before
Where the demons come out to play
  
They’ll pull you down, under ground
They’ll take you, far away from here
A place you’ll fear, 
Get me outa here

They will get inside your head
Keep you deep within this nightmare
Make you wish you were dead
You will never forget

Never forget, no    

Hope I don’t fall back asleep
So they can’t take me away
Store all my past mistakes
And play that hand another day

They’ll pull you down, under ground
They’ll take you, far away from here
A place you’ll fear, 
Get me out of here
  
They’ll call you in the night
Release the worm inside your ear
Tell you awful things that you never wish to hear  
Hands around your throat
As memories reappear
Please take me, far away from here

The worm inside you ear

Far away from here

Far Away From Here

Switch Off My Mind

Take Me For A Ride

All The Snakes In Town

Them And Us

Please forgive me, 
for what I’m about to do
Up to this point, 
it was only me and you
I met somebody else, 
although we had it all
We played the bricks between us, 
the writing is on the wall

Sometimes love, is not enough
You’ve gotta be made, of the right stuff
Two beating hearts, is where it starts
Without the love, you just drift apart

You won’t forgive me, 
for what I’ve done
For such a long time you were, 
the only one
All the hurtful words, 
cannot be undone
So I’ll close the door behind me, 
on this setting sun

Sometimes love, is not enough
You’ve gotta be made, of the right stuff
Two beating hearts, is where it starts
Without the love, you just drift apart

Every night is different, 
yet they all seem the same
No amount of liquor can, 
wash away the pain

Sometimes love, is not enough
You’ve gotta be made, of the right stuff
Two beating hearts, is where it starts
Without the love, you just drift apart
Sometimes love, is not enough
You’ve gotta be made, of the right stuff
Two beating hearts, is where it starts
Without the love, you just drift apart

Not Enough

I wish I was a bird
I would jump into the sky
I would fly as high as I can go

And when I dropped to the ground
I’m no longer homeward bound
No more tears I have to cry     
If only I could fly

My spirit needs to be set free
To find a place I need to be
If you could only see           
what’s inside of me

And when my wings would tire 
Cadd9
And I had flown   
As far as I could go

My spirit needs to be set free
To find a place I need to be
If you could only see           
what’s inside of me

When I fall from the sky
And I can no longer fly
No more tears I have to cry
If only I could fly

My spirit needs to be set free
To find a place 
I need to be
If you could only see           
what’s inside of me

I Wish I Could Fly

I see you there, with your long blonde hair.
Can’t help but stare, girl you drive me crazy.
Do you know, how I love you so.
Come with me, together we can be.

Let me take you far away from here,
I see your eyes are filled with tears.
The carpet’s soaked with blood and beer,
Let me rescue you from all the snakes in town.

As they start to move, and groove towards you.
I see you disapprove, it’s time for me to make my move.
I extend my hand, cause girl I understand.
Come with me, how happy we can be.

Let me take you far away from here,
I see your eyes are filled with fear.
The carpet’s soaked with blood and beer,
Let me rescue you from all the snakes in town.

All the snakes in town.

All the snakes in town.

All the snakes in town.

Keep You From Crying

The look on their face,
 the gaze in their eyes, 
Such a magical place, 
caught by surprise
A crack of the whip,
a gasp of delight, 
clowns with painted faces, 
perform through the night

The two headed man ,
a tattooed strong man, 
with a well crafted plan
The freak show is there, 
deformed beyond repair, 
it's hard not to stare

All gather round, 
bring the house down, 
the circus is in town
The lions are there, 
a whip and a chair, 
just to give you a scare

With showgirls on horses, 
in clever disguise, 
as men hang from the ceiling, 
and swing for their life
You can't look away, 
let it out of your sight, 
trapeze artists swing, 
from a deathly height

The two headed man ,
a tattooed strong man, 
with a well crafted plan
The freak show is there, 
deformed beyond repair, 
it's hard not to stare
All gather round, 
bring the house down, 
the circus is in town
The lions are there, 
a whip and a chair,
 just to give you a scare


Roll up, roll uuuuuup,          
roll up, roll uuuuuuuuuuup
Roll up, roll uuuuuup,       
roll up, roll uuuuuuuuuuup

Circus

That's me in the corner 
The elephant in the room
People look me up and down
A demon they assume
Outcast and outspoken 
Been swept aside for years
Here I stand tired and broken 
Fighting back the tears

Estranged I have become
Tired of beating on the same old drum
I know I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do
Estranged I have become
Many things swept under the rug
I'm thinking now the time has come
To say good bye

A sudden wave of emotion
As events from the years
Are now burned from the fire
Turn to dust and disappear
Many questions left unanswered
As I turn and walk away
When I wake up tomorrow
I will see a brighter day

Estranged I have become
Follow the beat of a broken drum 
Now I know I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do
Estranged I have become
Many things swept under the rug
I'm thinking now the time has come
To say good bye

Starting a new life now all alone
Can't go back now, it's set in stone
Remove my number from your phone
I have my life, you have your own

Smooth it over, not the answer 
Things will never be the same
There's a dark cloud over my head
That always seems to rain

Elephant In The Room

Asylum

We met at Suzi Wong Bar
You were off your face
You were chugging whisky down
At a rapid pace
You gave me your number
Hoping I would call
We arranged a meetup at the cafe by the mall

But you didn’t show
I’m someone you won’t get to know

You left me high and dry
Well I just met you
But I never got to say goodbye

After waiting for an hour
I walked back to my car
I tried to call you on the phone
To find out where you are
I glanced across the car park
And much to my surprise
There you were, all over,
Some other guy

Well that’s pretty low
I guess I’ll have to let you go

You left me high and dry
Well I just met you
But I never got to say goodbye

You didn’t show
I guess I’m someone you won’t get to know
Well I think that’s pretty low
I guess I’ll have to let you go

High And Dry

Through the smoke and haze, where the secrets lie,
There's a story untold, hidden deep inside.
A lonely heart, searching for the key,
To unlock the mysteries, set the spirit free.

In the darkest storm, a beacon shines afar,
With a shred of hope, guide me to where you are.

Forged in fire, destiny entwined,
Reaching for the flame, forever combined

Beneath the moonlit sky, where dreams collide,
We harness the power, our worlds now aligned.
In every battle fought, our hearts beat as one, 
With every note we play, the journey has begun.

Together we'll conquer all, with strength and might,
Embracing the passion that burns so bright.

Forged in fire, destiny entwined,
Reaching for the flame, forever combined
The key to your heart, eternal and sublime,
United as one, till the end of time.

As guitars unleash their thunderous roar,
Melodies echoing deep to our core.
The rhythm of our hearts, pounding through the night,

Forged in fire, our destiny's intertwined,
United as one, till the end of time.

Key To Your Heart

She glanced at me from across the street,
Our eyes locked from afar,
She could thaw my frozen heart,
Her body is a work of art.

Shame she's a working girl, 
a dirty piece of trash, 
But she stole my heart and took my cash,
She stole my heart and took my cash.

With legs that go up to her neck,
She moves just like a lady should,
She's got curves in all the right places,
A model of Womanhood.

Shame she's a working girl, 
a dirty piece of trash, 
But she stole my heart and took my cash,
She stole my heart and took my cash.

When I met you I'd fallen deep, 
Deep in love with you,
That's when you decided, 
To have your cake and eat it too. 
She's the kind of woman that everybody wants, 
And everybody needs 
She's not happy with just one, 
She needs a whole damned team.
 
Shame she's a working girl, 
a dirty piece of trash, 
But she stole my heart and took my cash,
Shame she's a working girl, 
a dirty piece of trash, 
But she stole my heart and took my cash,

She took my cash.

She Stole My Heart (and took my cash)

Independent Artist / Guitarist / Music Producer.

After picking up my first six string at fourteen years of age, it was soon apparent to me that this was an instrument of fascination and vast expression. I vividly remember watching live musicians at a young impressionable age, being blown away by what I had just seen, and have had a love for the instrument and music, ever since. My love for the guitar, and trade background also led to working with some of Adelaide's top guitar luthiers, restoring, and refinishing new and vintage guitars. I have also finished and customised my personal guitars and amps over the years.

My musical journey has led me through such experiences as cofounding a hard rock cover band, spanning almost a decade playing Adelaide’s pub scene, as well as some great parties, corporate and community events.
There have been numerous original bands in the genre of metal, punk rock, soft rock, folk, to acoustic duo. 

While with these bands, I’ve been fortunate to have been included in the production of four EP’s, some memorable musical moments, countless live performances. Including Adelaide Fringe Festival, and Adelaide Guitar Festival.

Over the years, I have established a recording studio, and undertaken some of the recording, mixing and mastering duties for the bands I have been involved with. I have also continued to pursue my own solo music.

Through this process, I have been fortunate to have collaborated with some very talented Australian, UK and American artists, which has furthered my songwriting and musical journey.
I enjoy the continual learning process of collaboration, as well as pursuing my solo music.
