Third FAWM track! It was actually the first track I started to write for this, I just kinda lost the plot and was off to other songs and ideas before I came back. Kind of feels like there should be a bridge or an outro, but eh, FAWM is not the place for second-guessing and over-analysis. That's an After February problem.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
A paperweight could keep me down<
Give or take this bed I made
To drown in.
I digress, I digress:

I'm tangled up,
Spinning round,
Hanging by a thread.

Fireflies and memories,
I'll let you know so you can leave
The light on
When I'm gone, when I'm gone.

A perfect hill to die on,
No summer rain,
To help drift to sleep.

Chorus:
Hang me out,
So my bleeding heart can dry. (Don't let me down x2)
And maybe, if it's broken,
You can find me a new one.

The city lights
Look a little like constellations. (Don't keep me out x2)
When I'm miles away from 
All I love.

Verse 2:
Twist and turn and shed me skin,
The odds and ends and Never-Been's
Control me.
So it goes, so it goes.

The engine purrs and we depart,
But we never grow apart.

I dream of nights I'll never see,
Rolling hills, fallen leaves
Without you.
I'll wake up, I'll wake up.

But a part of me is so afraid,
I'll fall asleep and
Never see you again.

Chorus:
Hang me out,
So my bleeding heart can dry. (Don't let me down x2)
And maybe, if it's broken,
You can find me a new one.

The city lights
Look a little like constellations. (Don't keep me out x2)
When I'm miles away from 
All I love.

Paperweight

soft song written in ~ 15 mins because if i don't do something creative i'm going to do something stupid like turn a fucking light on 🥰 been wanting to work on Sick but haven't felt well enough (isn't that ironic). thankful at least i got through fawm. then the first day of warm weather hit..... i am not not not not not ready for summer. 

(and yes ik i shouldn't be on my phone but i'm bored ☹️)

recorded as a one track one take on my phone 


lyrics: 

the medications aren't working 
my neurologist is at a loss 
i cover the glow of the buttons on my wheelchair 
every single light has its cost 

there's no comfortable position 
and no part that does not hurt 
i play midwife very softly and commiserate with the enemy 
every single sound has its cost 

c
i'm in the dark i'm in the dark 
i fall apart, my brain spills through my fingers 
i'm in the dark i'm in the dark 
i fall apart. postdrome, the pain still lingers 

i think i'm losing my mind 
sitting here alone in the dark 
the weed helps the nausea but i still want to pull my skull apart
every single movement has its cost

i read in 15 minute increments
then retreat to the depths of darkness 
and i am always talking to myself and there is nothing to quiet me and i was already slipping and now i'm sunk and

pain of the brain

lyrics: 

the world

is sick 

the children

cannot live 

we watch through blood stained screens 

as we witness their screams 


cries for peace 

met with bombs 

bodies under debris 

no dignity 

we watch with blood stained hands 

as we witness the stolen land 


the mothers 

find their sons 

by shoes

no place to run 

we've watched through blood stained years 

but for those in power 

the end draws near

Blood Stained Shoes

Eyes of the Father

Billy’s Gorilla

Perfect

Obtuse

Janurary

The war, behind us

Arise

2 am acoustic one track one take session about some shit that just will not! leave me! the fuck! alone! wrote the lyrics & decided to just wing it on the melody. a cathartic 13 minutes. 

trying to figure out where my vocals are after a few months of mostly being on rest cause of all the surgery n shit :/ want to try to get back to where i was before 50/90 rolls around so i dont have to worry about breaking myself again when i cant seem to do anything except write and sing and write and sing and write and..... yk the drill. looking forward to it

lyrics:
flesh forsaken 

apostate 

resolution 

no way to stay 

desperation 

fallen state 


i pray 

take it all away 



of his body

of his blood 

watch it run 

down my face 

bent to mercy 

bent to stay 


so i pray 

take it all away 


resurrection 

skin under my nails 

witness 

no way to say 

consecration 

his will prevail 

still i pray 

take it all away 




dripping down 

life of death 

bitter herb 

sour breath 

sorrows counted 

more than stars 

lowly one 

taken for woe 


{think i kinda went rogue at this point hopefully these are close lol} 

i pray 

take it all away 

his blood

will wash it all away 

his blood 

wash me all away 

wash me all away 

i don't want to stay 

his blood will

wash me all away

please don't make me 

stay

His Will Prevail (demo)

Singer/songwriter from Canada. I have a few other pages (some I lost access to), but this one is for my main projects. I make no presumptions with genres, so I'll go with "Indie Rock Artist", which, yeah, is the most indie thing you can say. Music is Life, Happiness, Creativity, yada yada yada. Can't live without it. Hope you at least mildly enjoy what I love making!
