Liner notes:
Bitterness is like rust, once it gets into you, it's hard to get rid of. Like swallowing poison yourself and hoping the other person will die. It can eat you up from the inside but even if it takes everything you still have the choice to take a better path based on forgiveness and love.

Words:
I swallowed poison and I thought you’d waste away
I kept the anger and drunk my rage
You’ve got to nurse the hurt or let it go
Move on in the sunrise glow
 
We’re rusted painted faces
We’re dust in wasted places
 
We rust
The sunlight fades and darkens the prisons we made
When rust takes everything
But you can embrace your own wave
 
I gave forgiveness should have saved it all for me
I wrote you letters from self-made jails
You must let heartache fly not let it grow
Come on let your love light flow
 
We’re rusted painted faces
We’re dust in wasted places
 
We rust
The sunlight fades and darkens the prisons we made
When rust takes everything
But you can embrace your own wave
We rust
We rust
We rust

Rust (Full song on Spotify)

It is with a heavy heart I release this song today. I usually don't put things besides what I have been doing in the alternative rap/hiphop vein of sounds. However, I just wanted to share this because of a recent event. Thought it might be cathartic to release this into the world. 

I had a terrible misunderstandings with one of my best friends who I've been friends with for a really long time. All of a sudden she decided to completely cut me out of her life.  

I'll be the first to tell anybody that I am far from a perfect human being and that I make mistakes, but this was so uncalled for I was left in a horribly sad and shocked state.. Complete disbelief in what had just happened. 

No need for gruesome details.. But this is my Goodbye letter to an amazing human and friend who I care about incredibly deeply, and always will

Lyrics:

I hope you know I would never try to hurt you
I only want whats best for you
And I know I can careless, pushy and mean
But It’s only because of the pain underneath

I have no excuses 
I should have been better 
I’ve already done the damage
This is my goodbye letter

You taught me, so much about myself 
You understood me like no one else
 It couldn’t have been easy to deal with someone like me
So I understand now, why you should be free

I have no excuses 
I should have been better 
I’ve already done the damage
This is my goodbye letter

 I can’t believe this is how it ends
Cut off and no chance to mend
So with tears I seal 
My goodbye letter

I have no excuses 
I should have been better 
I’ve already done the damage
This is my goodbye letter

No Excuses (Goodbye Letter)

A new song…... somehow atypical for me, but with heart and soul!  
Thank you for all comments, likes and reposts!
Have fun listening!

Irish Girl (The Lyrics)

Intro

1 Vers   
I've had time.
For a few days off.
I escaped.
Into the beauty of Ireland.
But I had no idea -
what will happen soon.

2 Vers  
I borrowed a car.
And then I visited an old friend.
I arrived soon.
Friendly he asked me to come in.

3 Vers 
We sat down in front of the fireplace.
We drank a few beers.
Talking about the old days.

Pre-Chorus 
Suddenly there was a knock at the door -
and a beautiful woman came in.

Bridge  
I looked at her.
Quite fascinated.
It had happened to me.
She returned my gaze -
and smiled so lovely.
Love at first sight.
Now there she was.

Guitar Solo

Chorus  (2 x)
I want to dance with her.
I want to hold her tight.
She warms my heart.
Irish girl.

Outro 
My irish Girl. 
My irish Girl.
I have fallen in love – fallen in love - with you.

Single Version

V1
How will we get through the
Thousands of hours of our 
Lives here on earth
So long since our birth
V2
What are we thinking as
Torrents of words pour all   
Over our minds, leaves us 
Dazzled and blind
M81
Got to look, see how the time flies
Got to look, laugh till you cry
Got to look, but it’s warm like a hug
Then, somebody said, “It’s a drug”
Ch1
Need, screen time
Plead, screen time
More, screen time
Roar, screen time
V3
Palms sway on breezes
Waves lap on beaches 
But they’re on their own
They can’t beat the zone
V4
Lost to the voice that’s
So better placed than
Poor reality
Poor reality
M82
Got to look, it might be for me
Got to look, it’s important, you see
Got to look, what did I miss?
Only a life, by an inch or a kiss
Ch2
Need, screen time
Plead, screen time
More, screen time
Roar, screen time
V5
Long in the future
When they come looking
To see where we went
All those messages sent 
V6
Over and over
Those voices in unison 
Crying out loud
The same feral howl
Ch3
Need, screen time
Please, screen time
More, screen time
Roar, screen time

Screen Time

(Unless we stop destroying our home we'll be the life on Mars, throwing a handful of earth onto Earth as we take off... ashes to ashes, stardust to stardust)
One recorded all on my own...

I THOUGHT WE MIGHT HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING

We’re looking out for the future
We’re standing on the past
I thought we might have learned something from
The burning bridges that we’ve passed
But time is just relentless
He’s pulling at your hand
And you’re looking into your grave
Not feeling very brave
Lying in the gutter
Not staring at the stars
You’re not seeing life on Mars

We’re looking out for the future
And we’re standing on the past
I thought we might have learned something from
The burning bridges that we’ve passed
And time is just relentless
Keep’s pulling at your hand and
You’re looking into your grave
Not feeling very brave
You're not lying in the gutter
Not staring at the stars
Not seeing life on Mars

Piece of Summer (Guitarbeard / Wane of Summer)

It`s the end of summer and right along with it goes all the holiday feels, tan lines, romances, relaxation, pretending to be someone else etc.  Yes, its time to go back to your real life but remember, what you had was golden, even if you didn't know it at the time. :)
