First track for my character-based EP series, artwork is edited from Dragon Age: Inquisition

Lone Wolf Prelude

Written for a story I follow online by Recidiva.
Lyrics:

I will take each step with caution
When I walk towards you
And I will take each breath with haste
To keep those butterflies from spreading from my waist
'cause If they travel through my spine
I will lose my nerve and walk away again
I will chose to flee from our encounter 
Hiding from the truth
Not even tilde waves could wash away the proof

That I am losing myself to you
I cannot find my spine
When I meet your eye
And with hitching breath and panicked pulse I will hide
From you

Your grip burning in my chest
With my heart in your hands
Your light shining through the darkness
Of my troubled mind that lives within this carcass
Inanimate, I waste away
Return me to my unmarked grave
I am a zombie in the night but I
Can still be brought to life
Lay your hand on top of mine and
Take me home tonight

'cause I am losing myself to you
I will try to find my spine
When I meet your eye
But with hitching breath and panicked pulse
I will not hide
I will not back down,
Will not turn back
Will find my feet 
And face the fact that 
I am lost in you.

Take me over 

And I'm drowning in you
I am dazed and confused
you are holding me down
lift me up, I am found
Take me back to the start
you are home in my heart
 take me back to the start
you are home in my heart

Losing Myself (Venri)

The final track from my dissertation album.

EQ'd to be listened through headphones!!

Lyrics:

Don’t mind me,
I was just leaving
whatever has been said and done
behind me for good reason.
There’s been a lot of times
when I have tried to walk away
from all the misery we cause ourselves
by pretending we should stay.
But when we can’t stand to share the air we’re breathing
we will suffocate each other
‘til our hearts stop beating.

I know you want to try and work through this again
but you know,
the two of us, so stubborn,
we’ll break before we bend.
And this hold you have on me
will make your fingers bleed
from the strain
that we’re putting on ourselves.

Now I can’t bring myself to carry on like this
where the silence between us
is the only thing I miss.
And now there’s venom in our words
where all the screaming goes unheard.
So consider this bridge burned tonight
I will not fight (x5)


Conclusion

Another track from my dissertation album 'Fables from a Fragmented Mind'.

EQ'd to be listened through headphones!!

Lyrics:

Three bottles down and I’m still driving,
white knuckled grip on the wheel.
Not too sure what I’m looking for tonight
in this jungle of concrete and steel.
All these shadows that pass me by
on the street now seem alien to me,
just silhouettes that I once knew,
but tonight
strangers are all I see.

These streets of slab and stone
are empty memories in my mind.
Now this house is not my home
and these sheets have grown cold over time.

I find myself in our secret place
where we would hide from the rest of the world.
I feel hollow as I walk these halls,
I’ll light a match and watch them burn.
And these walls where we wrote our names
I will tear them down into rubble and dust.
And these cracks will crumble down and consume
what’s left of us.

These streets of slab and stone
are empty memories in my mind.
Now this house is not my home
and these sheets have grown cold over time.

Take me home
(I’m falling) 
I will find my way without you yeah and
I built my life around you yeah

These streets of slab and stone
are empty memories in my mind.
Now this house is not my home
it’s like I’m looking in from the outside.
When I see what used to be
I find it hard to recognise.
And I guess you’ll never know
how these sheets grow cold over time. 


Take Me Home

Part II of the Icarus tale, if you haven't listened to it, go listen to part I here: https://soundcloud.com/falleymusic/icarus-ft-chiara-keating
Produced by myself, featuring the lyrical genius that is Falley.
Hope you enjoy :)

Lyrics:

My home is a ghost town
Empty pavements lining every street
Nothing more than a wasteland
I am haunted by it's people in my dreams
I fell so far from grace not even the ashes remain
Like a moth to the flame
I flew to close to the sun
My wings burn bright as I'm faced with what I've done
Shut out by everyone
I trusted

Pre-chorus:
And now there’s nothing that I can say
To change the way you see me now
But I will try
to fix this somehow

And I will burn 
as bright as any star
Now I’ve learned
the price of chosing this path

Coming from after the sun
Can somebody recieve me
I think my past is done
the dye is cast and runs
I know you don’t need me but I’ve missed you these past few months
never meant to cause a scene but now you’re part of one
And the sun shines strong
so now my vision is blind
and you had time once
now you sit and you sigh
I guess my pride is gone
somewhere hidden inside
your problems fly and run
from icarus to earth
I repeat
My feathers are withered and burned
I feel my decisions are cursed
Now I can’t figgure out my devision or worth
I repent all my sinnings from birth
my perspectives have changed now
I look back at the light

Pre-chorus:
There must be something that I can say
to ease the pain that taints your mind
I will try
just don’t leave me behind

And I will burn 
as bright as any star
Now I’ve learned
the price of chosing this path
And when your back is bared to me
I will turn the other cheek
I will raise my wings
to the sky
and fly free
