## Lyrics:

**v1:**

alone and adrift in a world she can't see
facetime in a bed, no body heat 
few beers, smoke fills the room as she
loses track, breaks down, admits defeat

5 days, same fate,  fading fast
red flash at the end of a cigarette 
false hopes, dead dreams, sure she needed that
but she knew she would never defeat the past

escape to new york 'cause she needed a break,
late nights, no flights, she decided to take
a late bus, up north through the snow and cold
couldn’t fight it any longer, couldn’t feel anymore

pit stop, got off, bought a pack of menthols
shoot a few looks at the men and then fall
all aboard, needs more, so she up and took off
no plan, deadpan, she about to risk all  

dumb luck, hit the city with a bag of speed balls,
hit the club, show love, maybe he can fix her
Her body's a vessel, and he plans to feed
They drink and they drink so that he
can feel in control as he pushes and s he, in a fugue of fluidity
presses and pokes

she’s lost in her mind and craving a smoke
trembling and touching, the meaning bespoke
lost in a bed of no hope
goodbye as she cleans off his ropes
sun is a pain as it shines on her skin
Asks for forgiveness, but do it again  

The thump of the club Bass is calling her in 
but desire’s a spire that crashes within

Inert and alone and resistant to change
The world turns to ash as solipsism reigns

menthol // i cannot believe this is all i have

by yourself

A reworking of the title track to my 2016 album "And maybe you weren't expecting to find anything right from the start..."

And maybe you weren't expecting to find anything right from the start... -  2022 version

Once again trying a new direction. Any and all comments welcome!

lyrics:
gettin real tired of us
what did you say

can't make ground enough
its a losing game

puttin on clown makeup
you look insane

he's your camera   
i don't feel safe


v1: 
blankets and beacons, alone in the park
an ashen illusion, not leaving a mark

powerful feeling
an issue for god

the light of submission
the dark of a job

an analogue feeling
a digital clock

the scent of the ocean
the wind from the dock

a book filled with missives,
a portrait of all that you
encountered while countering thoughts of the loss,
the space in your mental where memories lapse

a new boy to fill in the gaps, a past
a reason for making the trek, a path

hook2:
sun goes down and i
feel numb again

reds and browns and whites!
you lost the race

come down from the night!
my high won't break

no, this isn't right!
i do not care!  

gettin real tired of us
what did you say

can't make ground enough
its a losing game

puttin on clown makeup
you look insane

he's your camera   
i don't feel safe


pfc:

v1:
try to live your life as the perfect person
leave behind your right to be versatile
choices like the light in the tunnel
fleeting and ephemeral

do i get the right to rehearse this
do i get the time to horrible
is there more to life than the whirlpool
sloshing round an endless loop

i want to end the day
without another burden

i want to see the day
when I can feel the points for connection

trider point rites // points for connection

From "FUTURE," out now.

lyrics:
v1: 
you going to bed
you're dreaming of freedom

the pain is gone
you're not alone

shoulders up, the weight is lighter
your eyes much brighter then


but then you wake up, the burden to take up   
bowing to save your skin


run away to a fable
your life on the table
a snapshot of where you've been

drowning
the water is cold
you reaching for oxygen

crowning
the light getting warmer
scared but your mind is made

chorus:
there's a light on outside 

v2:
you're right (it's the same damn line from a different host)
you're right (black as night, are you coming home)  


praying for nothing
left in the dustbin
hope he don't see you sweat
 
no asking questions
loss of self and
the blood has left your skin  
ah
don't let the light dim
don't let it dim 
ah
don't let the light dim
don't let it go

FUTURE

there's a light on outside

I've loved this song for almost 10 years. Decided that I'd do a cover for fun. 

Probably fucked up the lyrics, but that's okay.

but i'll stay (angel diary cover)
