Wrote this song for the Play it Strange Peace song competition, it wasn't chosen so I am posting it here.
lyrics:
Out here the only ones fly are the desert eagles 
Out here the only ones crying are those who pretend to care 
Out here the only ones trying are your dirty beagles
Out here the only ones lying are those who don’t live in fear

This is now and this is when honesty will begin
With all the money in the world you still end up curled
If this is the end at least I will die following an trend
And if I die in this idiocracy at least I lived for the aristocracy

Out here the only ones hissing are those who are scared
Out here the only ones reminiscing are of tomorrow 
Out here the only ones blissing are those who were prepared
Out here the only ones dismissing will soon be buried cargo 

This is now and this is when honesty will begin
With all the money in the world you still end up curled
If this is the end at least I will die following an trend
And if I die in this idiocracy at least I lived for the aristocracy

Out here no one’s mind stays intact
Out here we are all alone together
Out here all you want to do is attack
Out here we are all alone together

This is now and this is when honesty will begin
With all the money in the world you still end up curled
If this is the end at least I will die following an trend
And if I die in this idiocracy at least I lived for the aristocracy
All in all at the end of the day everyone hurts who they may
All the lessons that have been taught, I would of never of thought
And if I die in this idiocracy at least I lived for the aristocracy

Out Here

I don’t if it matters to me anymore
If you matter to me anymore
Of course you do but not in the same way
As you did yesterday

In, in the end the end

I try to pretend like I don’t care
But you don’t show any sign of fear
Of course you do, but not in the same way 
As you did yesterday

In, in the end the end

In the end all these things will look so little
In the end you will look so little
We will fight, we will fight and you will lose
We will fight, we will fight and you will lose

You stole all the love I ever had for you
And replaced it with complete hatred for you
Why did you have to do it in such a way
As you did yesterday

In, in the end the end

In the end all these things will look so little
In the end you will look so little
We will fight, we will fight and you will lose
We will fight, we will fight and you will lose
You, you will lose 
You, you will lose

IN THE END

Wrote this song for the Bubble bop competition
Lyrics:
Before you say anymore
I've hurt more people than I've cared for
I know, I know I did this to myself
I Wanted it and I deserved the wealth
All the things I need
Are the reasons why I plead
If this is to go on
Please don't be long

BEFORE YOU SAY ANYMORE

This song got into the top 20 of the Play it Strange Youth song writing competition. It was recorded at Parachute studios and I had some help recording the instruments from my band Dead Connection.
Lyrics:
Kids with rotten teeth
Eating damn everything
First they ate my world
Then they ate my future

Consumerism consumed them all
Got a Gucci tattoo on their brains
Although I can’t complain
Because I am one of them

I don’t know if this world is true
Everything and nothing all seems so real
And I’m tired of hearing
“It was better yesterday”

Kids with rotten teeth
Sucking the life out of everything
Just so we can feel good in the moment
And die in the next

I don’t know if this world is true
Everything and nothing all seems so real
And I’m tired of hearing
“It was better yesterday”

We are, we are, we are the future
We are, we are, we are the present
We are, we are, we are the past
We are, we are, we are kids with rotten teeth

I don’t know if this world is true
Everything and nothing all seems so real
And I’m tired of hearing
“It was better yesterday”

Kids with rotten teeth
Kids with rotten teeth
