Mr. McCarthy has a mannequin that sits 
In his second story window.
Mr. McCarthy hasn’t been home at all, 
for at least a month or so.

Why would he leave 
and just leave her sitting there 
in the second story window

It seams odd that he should care 
so very, very little 

As I walk by and I look up
At that second story window
She’s dressed in red she’s got long dark hair
She looks as if she longs to know

What is out there in the world to see?
Just what could she be?
If she could just walk away remove herself 
From the second story window.

As I pass by I say hello
to the second story window
Sometimes I sing and sometimes we laugh 
to help ease her sorrows.

Each night at 8
As I pass by I tell her how my day was
She tells me about hers and it’s always the same
always unpleasantness

We’ve hatched a plan 
Tomorrow night at 6PM
I will meet her then
And take her out of this place 
Take her from here
Far away 
Anywhere but here

Mr. McCarty came home today 
With the whole thing on display 
I ought to give him a peace of my mind 

A plans is a plan, so we stick to the plan 
And nothing gets in our way now
We will have to be cautious but it stays the same 
I’m going to save you from this place 

So I ran over down below
That second story window
But to my surprise she was not there
It was Mr. McCarty instead 

My love What has he done?
What has he done?
My love, where are you now?
My love, my love
Where are you now?

2 Good Days

This is a song about falling in love, but realizing you are marking the whole thing up your head, but reality hurts even more when you face it. So you retreat back to the make believe in your head.

A while back I asked Nic if he would do a remix for me. And this was the result. He added the lyrics and I absolutely love it. This is available also on all digital media on the EP “Dance Away The Pain”

It is not the dead you need worry about, But those who are the watchers. For they will stop at nothing to protect what lies beneath the ground.

Sometimes I dream that I am living in an apocalypse world. My greatest fear is that I will wake up one day and it will no longer be a dream.

Apocalyptic Dream

When the lights go out and I close my eyes, I can go anywhere in my mind. The darkness brings comfort to my soul.

The Darkness Brings Comfort To My Soul

Through the darkness and the mist, somewhere in the distance I can hear, the cathedral bells

Getting back to some stuff with lyrics.
Sometimes the world just feels so chaotic

This is an updated version of an old track. I wrote this in response to someones dismissal of a horrific school shooting. Sad to say it is still applicable today.

"My Angel" She Cried (2025 version)

Imagining what is would be like to sit in a room as a child with one of the masters of the early electronic days. watching as they turn knobs and dials to get sounds, and passing the passion of music down to the next generation.

Fight The Oligarchy 

We don’t believe all you stupid lies
We don’t need you in our lives 
We don’t believe your shit will set us free 
We won’t be ruled by white supremacy 


Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy

The hate that you fuel will eventually die
The hate that you fuel will consume your own life
You’re just a fungus, you’re just a disease
Your lust for blood will never appease 

Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy
Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy

We will Take off your mask and tear down the facade 
Remove all your power you are no god
Shut your mouth we don’t give a damn
To hell with you and your mother Fucking plans 

Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy
Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy

This is not a game these are lives
This is not a joke we won’t just stand by
We won’t let you take control 
We are more powerful then you’ll ever know 

Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy
Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy
Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy
Fight, Fight, Fight, the oligarchy

Fight The Oligarchy (explicit)

Bow Down 

You want me down on my knees
saying yes sir, can I please
you want me to bow before you

You'll control my every move
Give myself over to you
but that's something I just wont do

(Chorus)

I bow down to no one
especially a fool like you
I bow down to no one
especially a fool like you

You want me to kiss the ring
devoting my everything
kiss the crown and kiss your feet

You let me share you wealth and more
that your worth more then just money and gold
but there's something I won’t be told

(Chorus)

I wont’t stand by
watch you destroy
everything that makes this nation great

You want me to join the ranks
fight for you and no one else
it's always about yourself

You punch your fists in the nations face
you're such a big disgrace
I wont stand by and let you take this place

(Chorus)

Bow Down

THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG 

There’s something wrong with the system 
There’s something wrong with the machine 
It all seems so disingenuous 
It all seems so ethically curupted  

There’s something wrong (x4)

There is something off about the
Look they give us
There is something off about the lies and
Visual display 
The hatered
The carelessness
The inhumane plan
The viciousness 
And the moral decay

There’s something wrong (x4)

The expectation of a full dictatorship 
The way they think we’ll just fall in line 
The way they ignore our every move
The way they ignore our uprise 

There’s something wrong (x4)

There’s Something Wrong

WE THE PEOPLE

We are tired of all your lies
We see through your terrible disguise 

(Chorus)
We the people, didn’t even vote for you 
We the people, we are not afraid of you 
You hack the system and Grock declares
You spread disinformation you cricked billionaire 

We can taste the vomit rising in our throat's 
We don’t believe you are the G.O.A.T

(Chorus)

You could have feed the would 
And saved humanity 
You could have cleaned the air and make it
easier to breathe 

We are sick of your Nazi style 
We think your just a pile (of shit)

(Chorus)

We the People 

WE THE PEOPLE

This is a song about protecting individuals from ICE


IF YOU COME FOR MY FRIENDS 

If you come for my friends 
You come for me
And when you come for me
Im going to be, a problem

Don’t do something you’ll regret 
Don’t do something you’ll regret 

If you come for my friends
I’m the brick wall
And this brick wall 
Doesn’t fall, so easily 

Don’t do something you’ll regret 
Don’t do something you’ll regret 

I’ll treat a stranger 
like they’er my best fiend
Because we all became united 
When your war began

Don’t do something you’ll regret 
Don’t do something you’ll regret 

We are ready
Ready to stand

You’ll light the world on fire
And you’ll burn too
But we've been burning for longer
So we know what to do

Don’t do something you’ll regret 
Don’t do something you’ll regret 


If You Come For MY Friends

I found this song that I recorded about three and a half years ago, when I was first getting started on soundcloud.

It's a little raw sounding but I thought I would post to see what you all thought.
