Lyrics:

Your ghost has haunted me
For the last time
Prepare to exorcise my demons
And we’ll say our lines
You may threaten me with loneliness
But it’s a mask soundfor your own fear
Make it clear
I’ve already disappeared

CHORUS
And they found your body hanging
In the corner of my mind
I won’t be found guilty
For this heartbreak suicide
In time you’ll find
The truth never hi-i-i-ides

I wasted so much energy
Playing your games
Carried the weight of your deficiencies
Fanned your hungry flames
And if you fault me for your weakness
Does that mean I’m really strong?
Moving on
I’m already gone.

Chase it
to Face it
to Erase it
and Replace it.

Lyrics:

This is not my heart
This is now your home
It will welcome your demons
And give them space to roam

I’m guided by starlight, I hit the ground
Misplaced footstep, I’m falling down
I follow the rhythm, I follow the sound
In my chest it’s found

These are not my eyes
They are your destiny
They’ll predict your fortunes
They’ll set you free

I’m guided by starlight, I hit the ground
Misplaced footstep, I’m falling down
I follow the rhythm, I follow the sound
In my chest it’s found

This LOVE!
This LOVE!

I follow the rhythm, I follow the sound

This LOVE!
This LOVE!

Little girl
Line them up
Take their bodies in

Broken girl
Tore it up
Are you having fun?

Turn out the lights and mute the noise
Pour another drink and kiss the boys

Dance
To oblivion
Till your heart stops
Dance
This is communion
Sweat your sins off

Young boy
You lost soul
Try so hard to impress

Dirty boy
You’re so rock and roll
Your life is a mess

Dim your brightness, clean the slate
Take another hit, don’t make them wait

Communion

One of the tracks from my first EP ever recorded, back in 2002. Don't mind the juvenile lyrics. #TBT

LYRICS:
State your name and purpose
And I will do the same
We’ll escape through the rabbit hole
Let the lonely hearts remain

Cosmic forces greet us
And we’re guided by fine wine
There will be no better sweetness
Then when your lips first touched mine

CHORUS
I’m a hunter after your heart
And I won’t stop till it’s found
Searching through the heavens,
Digging underground
Scales tip to my favour
As I follow your heart beat’s sound

Summer has no secrets
But Winter protects what’s pure
And when you take my hand this evening
Of this you can be sure

My heart is old and rusted
But it operates just fine
It provides the warmest shelter
If you rest your faith with mine

I’ll state my name and purpose,
if you promise to do the same
And when winds of change invite us
I’ll dance this dance again

My fingers are electric
Your smile’s the remedy
Our restless souls will find solace
When you and I become we

Lyrics

I’ve been waiting here
Just biding my time
A false bravado
To hide my crimes
Of heartbreak
And tragic histories
I will rectify
Missed opportunities
So please believe me
When I hold you close
My heart is open and
I’ll follow you where you go
If you will have me
By your side my dear
I can’t move mountains,
But I’ll try without fear

And I don’t know where you came from
But I like when you’re around
And I pray to anyone who’ll listen
That my love won’t drag you down.

My life’s a comedy
And I’ve been the running joke
So much wasted time
And words that just provoke
You hold my fragile soul
And  cradle it with care
I stare in disbelief
Wonder if you’re really there
This is no fairy tale
Though I fail to understand
Why my heart is bursting
When you hold me in your hands
Tightly wrapped inside
Your safe and warm cocoon
We’ll detonate the sun
We will lasso the moon.

Drag You Down

Lyrics:
Time serves the creators
Thought you should know
That it won’t matter when it’s later
So let’s go out
The cold keeps you my secret
So don’t say a word
My mind is built to forget
Tell me your name again

This love... is the melody.

CHORUS
And the snow was falling down
And it made your crystal crown
Proclaiming you my king
Chaos now makes sense
The future is present tense
It makes me wanna sing

Sing for all the soldiers
Who fought for love
Sing as we grow older
A million heartbeats
Stand tall and we shall conquer
Share a red wine kiss
Fear this world no longer
Run away with me

This love’s... not the enemy

I have a tendency to forget
Who I tell my stories to
I hope one day to share
My tales with only you

Sing

Lyrics:
I saw your eyes
In the blue light
Felt your breathing
You are skin tight

CHORUS
Close the circuit
Enter direction 
System is working
Make a connection

Pull me closer
Push me of the edge
Falling further
Let go of courage

Your light is beautiful x 4

Closed Circuit

After a long drought of not writing any music, I finally grabbed my guitar, my keyboard and my Mac and went to town. 2 months later, I suddenly found myself with an album's worth of material, recorded entirely in my condo. I only did this for fun and because I love to do it. So, i figured I'd share it with you and get your feedback.
