Lyrics:
Oh one by one, they all will tumble down
Drop without a sound, six feet underground.
Oh one by one they bleed a pretty shade,
The red's never the same, pumped through artery or vein,
From blade to pills, to rope around the neck.
It's a thrill they never will forget.
From blade to dirt, it happens so damn quick,
and nothing does the trick like murdering for kicks.

So show me how you bleed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door
and I want more!

Oh one by one they all will hear the sound
of being drowned... while tied up, gagged and bound.
Oh one by one it hits them in the guts,
another couple slugs, then toss 'em in the rug.
A bag, a box or maybe in a cake,
It's a choice they never get to make
From bag to dirt, it happens so damn quick,
Oh nothing does the trick like murdering for kicks.

So show me how you bleed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door with open arms.
So show me how you bleeeeeed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door.
And I need a little more!

Yeah I need a little more!

Oh lemme have one more

I gotta have one mooooooore yeah!

Lyrics:
I had a lot of friends till I drove them round the bend
and then they left me all alone and so I roam around the globe
In search of new shiny buddies, to share with them my worries
and my joys and my toys and my secret jars of poison!
I searched up high... I searched down low...
But... no matter where I look no friends began to show
and so I made a list of killers, and wrote them all letters
asking lots of friendly questions... with all the best intent they told me

Don't ask your questions to the wall
They keep their secrets locked inside
If blood and bones are what you want
I suggest that you look behind you

I keep each letter in a box under my bed
It really rocks 'cos when I'm sad I just read all of them again
I sent them drawings done in crayon, and plans for domination
even cute little collages of their exploits from the papers.
And when they get out, we will be friends
Bestest buddies un-til the end
We'll go on picnics, with long pork sammies
But I keep thinking 'bout... What they told me

Don't ask your questions to the wall
They keep their secrets locked inside
If blood and bones are what you want
I suggest that you look behind you
Don't ask your questions to the wall
They keep their secrets locked inside
If blood and bones are what you want
I suggest that you look behind you

Lyrics:
It's been a few years since you left me, and I think I'm coping well. 
I've really picked myself up, and everything is swell. 
But even now, there's moments when I think of me and you. 
Cause when you were still with me, I knew exactly what to do. 
I keep a knife inside my heart to remind me of you. 
And when I'm feeling kinda sad, I take it out and run and shout. 
And I kill, yes, I kill. Let you ride in my pocket to soak up the thrill 
While I kill. Yes, I kill. And you're there with me all the while helping me spill all the blood. 
All the blood, all the blood, all the blood 
Oh, I can't help but kill... without you. 
The nights seem cold and empty. Now that I don't have you near. 
We used to walk at midnight, and was nothing that we feared. 
And here I sit all by myself, thinking what we might have done. 
A body here, a shallow grave, it all seems so long gone. 
I keep a knife inside my heart to remind me of you. 
And when I'm feeling kinda sad, I take it out and run and shout. 
And I kill, yes, I kill. Let you ride in my pocket to soak up the thrill 
While I kill. Yes, I kill. And you're there with me all the while helping me spill all the blood. 
All the blood, all the blood, all the blood 
Oh, I can't help but kill... without you. 
Without you in my life. Oh, I turn into the knife. 
And I can't help but kill... 
Without you.

And I Kill ft. Gloom Darkheart

Lyrics:
I never really meant to choke you out
But you fell too fast for me to catch the rope
And darling, I'm sorry that I had to let you sink
Into the lake where they'll never hear your screams
So trust me when I say it all just fell in place
And sometimes murder is just icing on the cake
And trust me when I say it's meant to be
I'll bring roses to your garden while you sleep under the tree

Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree
Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree

I never really meant to squeeze that hard, I got lost in
Feelings and lurked down in the dark
And sweetheart, I never really meant to stab that deep
It just seemed that you were so happy to bleed
So trust me when I say it all just fell in place
And sometimes murder is just icing on the cake
And trust me when I say it's meant to be
I'll bring roses to your garden while you sleep under the tree

Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree
Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree

Icing On The Cake ft. Gloom Darkheart

Neither in the street nor in death nor if you go some place where nobody can see you….

Rubio’s Lament

The List - Moon Walker

The rhythms of hip-hop provide a placemat for nervously melodic splendor and a melting pot of genres.  What are we to call this compellingly oddball mélange of rock, rap, jazz, reggae, and other influences, all in sway to some of the most mirthfully self-conscious streams of consciousness you’ve ever heard? We could call it attention-deficit-disorder rock. Or maybe we should just call it Forrest Day, the Bay-area bandleader who’s releasing his self-titled full-length debut on the Ninth Street Opus label. 

Cohorts include guitarist Terrell Liedstrand, a bandmate of Day’s since they were both 15, and bassist John Sankey, another high school buddy. Keyboard player Nick Wyner also came on board when the band was founded in 2006, and Jasper Skydecker joined up as their first full-time drummer a year later. When they went into the studio together for the first time, it was with several years of live performances under their belts and a chemistry that Day wanted to capture—and ever-so-slightly digitally tamper with.

“We hit analog tape with everything, but then dumped it into ProTools to manipulate it there,” says Day, who produced the album himself. “So a lot of it is like a big marriage between actual performance and then, in editing, turning some of the songs into loops—though it doesn’t really sound like it, because it’s so analog-sounding.” Day also points out that “there’s not a sample on the record. We brought in real violin players, who were in the room with real saxophones.”

Day’s amusingly confessional songwriting dabbles in social commentary about corporate greed (“Hoarders”) and our overmedicated society (“Meds”), among other concerns. But he returns again and again to everyday struggles common to itinerant musicians and non-musicians alike: bad bosses, lost jobs, debt collectors, and the girlfriend as muse or unwitting patron of the arts. There’s an elaborate work ethic apparent in these meticulously crafted tunes that would seem to put the lie to lyrics that talk about being dreamy, uncertain, and aimless. What we have on this striking debut, then, is a collection of incredibly focused anthems for an unfocused generation. 



Forrest Day - Sleepwalk

SUPER METROID SYMPHONY  is the culmination of years of experience working with the Synthetic Orchestra and my biggest project to date. With the aim of faithfully recreating every piece of music from the series' 3rd game, the album is an hour long journey through 30 tracks that were lovingly crafted - minute by minute, note by note.

I hope you enjoy listening to the final album as much as I enjoyed working on it.

Super Metroid Symphony :  The Super Metroid Prologue (Preview)

I've been tinkering with music since I was a kid, composing tunes for fun. Nowadays, I mainly write orchestral scores for video games. Alongside this, with an extensive career in the games industry as a tools programmer I've now focused my skills on developing next-generation sample libraries and music software.
