a "cover"/reimagining of the classic Guardin song"Cliffnote" done with my own flare sprinkled in. Hope I did it justice....🤟🤪

Cliffnote (COVER)

Our True Colours (REMASTERED?)

just a slight {REMASTER} Of the classic Guardin song... again. Shit BUMPS this time though....

Cliffnote {COVER} original by Guardin

If 1+1 is still JUST 1, you gotta factor for her lack of soul and multiply the sum!
And if good girls suck, then BAD GIRLS UP!
Extrapolated data points to "all roads rough"

if the bluebird can find the courage to leave his comforting perch for the sky
then maybe i, i, can stumble out the front door
tumble off the front porch
kick rocks and piss off tonight 

YOU WIN, OK!?
I was gonna do it yesterday
but the cars low on gas
the windows are cracked
and you gashed the hose with my razorblades
OK, YOU WIN!?
little Miss Heartlessness has done me in
now you can lay claim to this sad twist of fate that has followed me home today

i don't give TWO fucks about your "soft spine"
you can take THREE leaky shits on where your facts lie
I've got some FOUR letter words about your "past lives" 
and every time you blushed m claimed to have died 🤥

when 1+1 is STILL JUST 1
apply it to the science like I showed you, son
and if good girls suck
AND BAD GIRLS SUCK!?
trust the mathematics, boy
we'll all just fucked

if you haven't got it right by now, you never will
so just die and come back something ill
like an injured rodent, drowning in a puddle
beneath a stereo on a table that could easily tilt 

YOU WIN, OK!?
I was gonna do it yesterday
but the cars low on gas
the windows are cracked
and you gashed the hose with my razorblades
OK, YOU WIN!?
little Miss Heartlessness has done me in
now you can lay claim to this sad twist of fate that has followed me home today

Kick Rocks {REMASTERED?} (i was gonna do it yesterday)

basement recording from 2003.... holds up surprisingly well

Burning Embers

as I've grown older I've got this chip on my shoulder i don't seem to be doing alright
i hate everything from my girl to my friends and I can't keep just going on
wrap wrap this noose around my neck
and i wont survive with all these voices in my head that keep telling me "go on"
everyone lies to me, they blind me so I can't see anything that's going on
i feel all alone like I'm so on my own and all my thoughts are paranoid
ive got this gun half down my throat
to your surprises i have no intention to pull
unless you wanna be the one to pull it now and blast me off into the sky one last time tonight

Life is But a Drag {REMASTERED?}

I turn on the tv so its not obvious that i have lost my mind
been staring at a blank screen and im afraid in time that someone will catch on
what happens if prince charming never shows?
will i be the consolation prize waiting in ragged clothes?
i dont know
well, everyone that i know has a reason to say, "hello" then, "fuck you"
some girls disguise with eyes that burn so bright you'll never see them hang the noose
say what you want because tomorrow never knows
if you're worth another day another punch to the face
or bloodied nose
i don't know
"hello?"
"FUCK YOU"

Sanity's Last Little Ditty

My First Kamikaze Flight

Hope is a Demon Bitch

Fields of Forgotten Landmines

Smashing Pumpkins tribute. my mom's and my favorite song. promised to do it for her and I love my mommy...

take me down to the underground
won't you take me down to the underground
why, oh, why 
there is no light
and if I can't sleep will you hold my life?
and all I see is you

take my hand I've lost where I began
in my heart I know all of my faults
will you help me understand?
I believe in you
you're the other half of me
sooth and heal 
when you sleep, when you dream 
I'll be there if you need me
whenever I hear you say
there, there's a sun
it'll come, the sun
hear them call me down
I held you once, a love that once, 
life had just begun
and you're all i see
and trumpets blew and angels flew on the other side, dear
and you're all i see 
and you're all I'll need
there's a love that god puts in your heart

Take Me Down {Pumpkins COVER}

Doug Theme Song

{☆ DUN, DUN, DUN! ☆}

wicked rock and electronic hybrid instrumental. very proud of this one. hope you can dig 🤟😜

{☆☆.time thief.☆☆}

No I wouldn't call this shocked 
more just upset I've always kind of been  a manic depressive mess 
I used to want to die 
but now I'm just pissed off 
and I don't know why 
in despair I said an open-ended prayer 
if there's a God out there listening 
show me that you care 
I ditched the urge to kill myself 
but still kind of want to die 

{LOSERBOY!!}
Im a loser boy 
and I'm blasting off

{LOSERBOY!!}
{whats your status!?}

exploding through the atmosphere 
with hopes to get lost 

{LOSERBOY!!}

I'm burning up everyone 
and everything I run into 
I won't hang around 
yeah I'll leave this town 
I can't stand by and watch you drown

im sorry, sis, for almost leaving 
somehow forgot that you might need me these intrusive thoughts are fckn sneaky had me scheming, and peeking into the void 
there's no relief even when I'm sleeping I'm still surrounded by these demons  
i tried to hide but they still see me 
this has been loser boy over and out

{☆☆ loserboy ☆☆}

The end is near the end is nigh
oh my god let's fal lapar
count a  m illion of the filthy fucking sheeps
then fall apart
wake up every 
hour just to fall apart
crying in the shower
til the hot water runs out

mama said there'd b3 days like these
didn't think they would be one in three 
I'm getting ratio like a bad YouTube video 
need I remind you? you f****** liar 
you told me you'd be here, where are you?

did you retreat? did you piss off?
 did you beat feet, fucker? did you go and get lost?
if you're feeling froggish, leap, Frog, LEAP!
Just get away from me 
yeah we know the end is near 
we don't deny that the end is nigh 
but it's not tonight 
soon the nuclear fallout takes us all out
and chokes out the sunlight


{☆ Bloodbuzz, NJ ☆}

No i wouldn't call this shocked 
It's more just upset 
I've always kinda been 
A manic depressive mess 
I used to want to die 
But now I'm just pissed off 
And I don't know why 
In despair I said an open-ended prayer 
If there's a  God  out there listening 
Show me that you care 
I ditched the urge to kill myself 
But still kinda wanna die

(Loserboy)
Because I'm a loserboy 
And I'm blasting off 
(Loserboy, what's your status?)
Explodes through the atmosphere 
With hopes to get lost 
(Loserboy) 
Im burning up everyone 
And everything I run into 
I won't hang around 
No ill leave this town 
I can't stand by and watch you drown 

I'm sorry, sis, for almost leaving 
Somehow forgot that you might need me 
Intrusive thoughts are fvcking sneaky
Had me scheming 
Peeking into the void 
There's no relief even when I'm sleeping 
I'm still surrounded by these demons 
I tried to hide but they see me 
This is loserboy, over and out

《○•☆• loserboy •☆•○》

bad blood
flash flood, flash flood
I'm still wrong 
so I'm stomping on your heart
don't lean on me 
I fall too much 

Two Ships in the Night {DEMO}

CTRL + ALT +DELET3

punk rock met electronic and fucked. Nine months later this song crawled out. true story.

A Pumpkins Love.

cover of Polaris' theme song for The Adventures of Pete and Pete. 

Hey, Sandy!

i dont think you should spend the night / i cant afford to make mistakes like that / i've chewed through limbs to escape these traps / that won't let go
let's pass like 2 ships in the night / avoiding paths avoiding drag out fights / where no ones right / but we wont give it up

and I'd be stomping on your heart
if you had one
dragging your pride through that mud
but wait, you got none
these lazy days and boring nights
are becoming who we are
fuck the bullshit fucking lies
that you swore true
and that goes double
for the times that i believed you
ignoring all i felt was wrong
hindsight is 20/20 song

and now I'm stomping on your heart since it came round. but you're insane if you can claim that's how this went down / you played your games / I saw the light / let's pass like 2 ships in the night 

so now I'm mixing up the poison with the bad blood / letting you drown in your tears like it's a flash flood / for every chance you failed to grasp / and somehow I m still wrong?

(we think in generalities but live in details / that's how her attrocities get by in pig tails / mama taught me better but those lessons fail / when she starts to breathe my name through exhales)


This is a very raw one shot take recorded on my cell phone in Dan Anderson's living room. That's Dan tearing it up on lead guitar and throwing down random harmonies. This is one of our favs so look out for a well produced version some day

2 Ships In The Night

the parkway is the only Road tonight that I'm taking/ drifting off for an hour going further/ further from the start
somehow I've tricked myself again/ into thinking someone would care if I'm gone (but I'm wrong)
it weighs heavy on my heart

my closet is empty no more posters on my walls/ the batteries in the Crockett died/ let it hang there till it falls/ my closet is empty/ nothing's left in there at all/ telephone wires on the ground not that anyone should call

I'd rather live my life alone
and wander the open road than to stay here with a certainty to explode
now where the sun sets in the west
let the flames lick my face
it's where I'll call my home

it was so beautiful/ but the bright lights all blacked out/ it was so beautiful



me and steve chernish = killme, killroy. writing credits to rob hartman.

Telephone Wire

i felt the love/ i held it safe
it got up and left one day/ i watched it walk away / for all we know we'll never know/ but this song will continue to play/ when there's nothing left to say/ should the stars fall down...

should the stars fall down/ crash to the earth, scorch the lands then fade out/ it's really such a shame when no one would change a thing/ should the oceans food/ engulf the world then run red with our blood/ it would surely end us all/ but we're having a ball/ and that's alright with me

love is all we need/ like finding needles in a haystack/ bloodied fingers pulling shit from your teeth/ still no guarantee/ that your heart won't be mistaken/ some lovers love to fake it/ where can we run to when...

should the stars fall down/ crash to the earth, scorch the lands then fade out/ it's really such a shame when no one would change a thing/ should the oceans food/ engulf the world then run red with our blood/ it would surely end us all/ but we're having a ball/ and that's alright with me

The Story of the End of the World (and why it's inevitable)

increase the morphine drip/
i swear this shit is wearing off/ Give
Me a reason to believe and I'll give you 10 to not/ Take the will to leave/ leave the will to tie a knot/ open wounds will bleed turning green left to rot

one foot has slipped off the ledge
all my gears are jammed and wedged

why should we apologize?
done nothing wrong in my eyes
sins of our fathers will follow 
all our life
bastards on the TV screen
choking on their vanity
I hear the words 
but that doesn't mean I concede

Our True Colours

Not so much a song as me fooling around with a new app. if anyone is interested in using it i can cut it up in whatever order. no charge. i sincerely hope it gets used by SOMEONE!

What Shall Be, Shall Be (that doesn't mean it doesn't suck dicks)

She tried to push me away
By sweeping me into air
I tried to reappear by giving up that day
And I hope your magic stays
Even through the darkness
With her by my side
The stars will turn on the lights
It's a long way from home
In a land unknown
Following the north star
Just to get you back home

The roads are paved with your lies
So you can lead the way
Following blue trails
We're giving it up to every day

Just want her to be mine
But she tells me all these lies
I wish she could be mine
Instead of wasting her time

My Last Hero - Farewell

Hello and thank you. My name is Topher P and I'm Casting Long Shadows. I've been making noises for 20 years now and no one has made me stop yet so here I am.  I do all types of styles/genres but mainly I'm a punk rock kid that makes sick as beats and electronic stuff cause why let such awesome Producer talents be wasted or pigeon holed, ammiright!?  .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..   As always if you are interested in any beats you may find here DM me and I usually give them away for free if they've been on here for any amount of time. Second verse same as the first if you're looking to get something commissioned fresh. Come to think of it just DM me anyway, I'm lonely and almost friendly 🥴
