We Are The Leaders DEMO

It’s never your fault 
there’s always someone else to blame 
we didn’t consent 
 yet you expect us all to share the pointless pain

  that’s not how it works 
that’s not how it works  

your version of the truth
 is adrift 
like stranded ships heading for the rocks
And now you have to choose 
do you swim
Or hope somehow the current stops  

you never noticed 
that steady rising of the seas 
the slow erosion
 conspired against until you simply cease to be

  that’s not how it works 
that’s not how it works 

your version of the truth 
is adrift 
like stranded ships
 heading for the rocks
And now you have to choose 
do you swim
Or hope somehow the current stops

tides roll on 
earth still turns
 suns will set 
some will mourn  

there comes a day
 for some, too late
 their versions of 
the truth
came adrift

All about the Bass (Megan Trainor Cover)

That time I came to terms with being a happy nihilist...

Meaningless

Reykjavik

Concentric patterns lose their shape
Eroding while the cells divide
spirits steadfast beckoning
Those who linger at the edge

And in waves we are reclaimed

And When this vessel fails
I hope that nature is revealed
Freed from the animal
Freedom from this cell

Like Rivers flowing into streams 
The Energy returns to source
The ghosts of friends and loved ones lost
Released from shackles of their flesh  

And in waves we are reclaimed

And When this vessel fails
I hope that nature is  revealed
Freed from the animal
Freedom from this cell

And when this vessel fails

Preordained 108

Slow sad thing I did about a year ago while on the tail end of a deep depression following my father's death. Don't see myself working on it more and I've sat on it long enough, so here it is.

Lyrics:

I found out a way
To keep the bad thoughts away, but I
Did not realise
What I would be giving in trade

I found out too late
While I watched cherished things fade
Right before my eyes
Now I'm alone and afraid

Wrapped around me is the silence I've made
And no one is near me, they're all far away
When creatures and demons are good friends to make
And there surely is hell to pay

The loss and the ache
In time, gets easier to take, but it
Does not go away
You just learn to live with the pain

No more easy escapes
Bill is due, it's time to pay, I hope
It's not all in vain
As I crawl back up to the day

Wrapped around me is the silence I've made
And no one is near me, they're all far away
When creatures and demons are good friends to make
And there surely is hell to pay
