"brown"

some people used to mock me
and push me around
kick me and shove me 
for being too brown
I wanted to see them drown

I wondered why they'd call me wet back
but spit in my face
scream and insult me
over something like race
they were a fvcking disgrace

last year at a festival
some guy got in my face
told me I should go home
go back to the Middle East
I just kept drinking in peace

I'm hardly
I'm hardly
I'm hardly the only one
I'm hardly the only one

Two Steps

mandoline additionnelle  par M Stephane Dambry

Tombstone Jones

You’re drowning
Heart’s pounding
Fear’s mounting
Pushed, you will fall
Fate sent me
Step gently
I’ll extend a hand for you to hold

Today’s the day for a leap of faith 
I’ll catch your fall
Don’t be afraid to break the chains
Don’t be afraid at all

The past haunts you
Fear taunts you
Life’s cost a price
That you can’t pay
Put one chip then two down when
You find the right game to play

Today’s the day for a leap of faith 
I’ll catch your fall
Don’t be afraid to break the chains
Don’t be afraid at all

The suitcase in the hall
A life not lived at all
Open up that door
Let your life unfold

Today’s the day for a leap of faith 
I’ll catch your fall
Don’t be afraid to break the chains
Don’t be afraid at all

Break The Chains

"pills"

surprised i made it
thru some of those years
nodding off at the table
makes everything unstable

it's not how I meant it to be
it's not how I meant it to be

no one's going to know
til I'm passed out in the snow
lying to my family
about the totality

it's not how I meant it to be
it's not how I meant it to be

but those days are behind me now
but those days are behind me now

can't leave my house
lying to my spouse
no matter what I say
I use them all day

it's not how I meant it to be
it's not how I meant it to be
it's not how I meant it to be
it's not how I meant it to be

but those days are behind me now
but those days are behind me now

Ashes for Dreams is the Irish/Swedish band project of Johan Alm (https://soundcloud.com/jambrains) and Karen O’Mahony (https://soundcloud.com/monnodb).

Both coming from completely different cultures and musical backgrounds - incorporating between them classical, traditional, folk and rock - they had each previously produced solo work vastly different to the other’s. 

Johan’s style is heavy rock with a unique and gritty vocal style and guitar work admired and envied by many. Karen’s natural home is more folk, which to their surprise works beautifully in a heavy rock setting. Together, they are a magical combination, particularly when they duet - their distinctive voices blending as if made for each other!
