Feels like today the sky's the limit.  Things are getting better by the minute.  If I was an emoji I'd be a smiley face.

Things Are Looking Up

Part 4 of my "All Hope Is Lost" mini track series.
The world is broken and all hope is lost but still the nomad wanders, into territories unknown he escaped but not without sin, now longing and searching for salvation...

Salvation

The Forgotten

🚨 Gratuitous melancholy alert 🚨 

This one couldn't quite make up its mind what it wanted to be, and I'm rather attached to it as a result. In my head, the verses are Jason Isbell-style dark indie folk, the chorus is straight-up, heart-on-sleeve balladry and the bridge goes all Meatloaf. I will leave it to you to decide if the combination works 😂 

Thematically, it's about someone who's very fatalistic about the relationship they're in because they think the other person's too good for them. And so maybe there's an element of wanting to self-sabotage the thing, because they're convinced it'll happen sooner or later anyway. That's the back story in my head, for what it's worth!

LYRICS

You’re too perfect and you know just what I mean
I try and hurt you, try and rip apart your seams
But you just stand there like a medieval queen
I can’t do this, no, I must be in a dream

I don't know what to say to that
I don't know how I'm supposed to act

Oh, when you gonna break my heart?
Oh, when you gonna tear it all apart?
Oh, when you gonna break my heart?
Maybe I should break it before you do
Maybe I should break it before you do

I did warn you there are demons in my past
I can’t hide you from the shadows that they cast
So don’t kid yourself that every storm shall pass
We're all drowning, yeah we're disappearing fast

I don’t know what I mean by that
I don't know how I'm supposed to act

Oh, when you gonna break my heart?
Oh, when you gonna tear it all apart?
Oh, when you gonna break my heart?
Maybe I should break it before you do
Maybe I should break it before you do

It’s not a question of if, it’s a matter of when
You keep asking me why, why do we ever do anything?
And if I told you, you were everything
I've ever been looking for or ever been trying to find
Would you believe?

Oh, when you gonna break my heart?
Oh, when you gonna tear it all apart?
Oh, when you gonna break my heart?
Maybe I should break it before you do
Maybe I should break it before you do
Before you do

Break My Heart

A song about a guy I know

lyrics:

The biggest and baddest of the scumbag namesake
He’s snorting tons of crack cocaine that is probably fake
A wife beater bullet proof vest to protect his fragile pride
A class act hell bent on suicide 

Cocaine  Charlie smokin’ way too much
Cocaine  Charlie stone cold to the touch
Always holding a grudge
Trying to play executioner, jury and judge

Pot’s for losers and meth’s for junkies, so coke’s just right for him
Walk on down his alley way and he’ll tear you limb from limb
There is no one that can stop him except his kryptonite
Marijuana Jonny’s down for the fight

Cocaine Charlie just wants to unwind
Cocaine Charlie sneakin’ up from behind
You’ve got no place to hide
Manning the front to protect his Frankenstein Bride

I wonder how he pays the rent
Cocaine Charlie’s at it again
You know it’s not an accident
That his nose has a huge dent

The only saving grace is his Dad’s inheritance 
You’ll see him on the street trying to trade it in for friends
But there will be no friends to hang out with this time
Cocaine Charlie’s crossed the line

Cocaine Charlie slammin’ lines and beer
Cocaine Charlie thinks that you’re a queer
Don’t you interfere
He’ll beat you with a tire iron if you get near

Cocaine Charlie watching 2 girls 1 cup
Cocaine Charlie can’t get his dick up
Don’t you interrupt
Jerking his thing and he’s just about to erupt

Cocaine Charlie withering to the bone
Cocaine Charlie needs another drug lone
Cocaine Charlie, get the fuck off of this street

Cocaine Charlie

Darkened

the waves are fallin' over my head
the waves are crashin' over my head
you pull yourself up by the bootstraps
'n collect
take inventory of
what remains

the waves are crashin' over my head
yeah, how I even got out of bed

it's funny how time can cure your deepest ills
it's funny how denial can keep you well

the waves are crashin' over my head
the whitewater leaves you spinnin' down

Belle on flute :)

'Bodies Swaying'

Smooth, Into the groove…
Step by step That is a romance Meet me on that spot tonight Tune by tune That is a romance Hoof by hoof That is the moon dance
Sometimes it’s one ahead and then three to back Then swinging round and returning on another track
And ancient lanters wander across the sky again Singing old songs in a language we’ll never understand And they go…
Meet me under the moon tonight  Let us dance into the morning light I promise I will not step on your toes just swaying bodies in the silver light
Smooth,  Waving in the silver groove
Sometimes it’s one ahead and then three to back then swinging round and returning on another track Into the distance and then out of mind Then slinging round and appearing on the other side
While our bodies swaying to the music And they go…
Meet me under the moon tonight  Let us dance into the morning light Oh, bodies swaying to the music Our bodies swaying to the music
