Name: Bleach Black Devotion by The Comfortably Strange
Duration: 3 min 32 s
Description: Debut song from new album, as featured on BBC Introducing

Temptation is out of reach 
I can’t describe it and I don’t know how it feels
But something’s missing 
I feel it in my gut 

Expectations are misaligned 
I fear we’ve got it wrong 
Though we tried so hard to get it right 
Perhaps I simply want too much 
You give me everything I need 
But it’s never quite enough 

Do I throw it all away 
For something I can’t define?
Or do I hold on tight to the life we've built
For fear I’ll never find what I’m looking for?
Do I throw it all away?

Temptation, a planted seed
Dreams I never knew I had
Of a life that I don’t lead 
Fantasies I’ve hidden from you 
Secrets I can never share
And I don’t know what to do 

Should I throw it all away 
For something I can’t define?
Or do I hold on tight to the life we've built
For fear I’ll never find what I’m looking for?
Do I throw it all away?

The answer is quite clear
I’m just too scared to face 
What’s staring at me

Do I throw it all away 
For something I can’t define?
Or do I hold on tight to the life we've built
For fear I’ll never find what I’m looking for?
Do I throw it all away?

Perfection... out of reach

Throw It All Away

A song about narcissist leaders and their followers.

Lyrics
Wolves and sheep
Cruel dance in the darkness of night
A new round up, but where is the fight

They glamour the sheep
All baffled by the masters’ strength and their icy speech
Sheep need to belong
Get along
Wolves and sheep

Wolves herding sheep
Unspoken hostilities shining through, 
from behind the masquerade
Some cannot keep up

Wolves feed off the weak
Submitting to such masters was not the best idea
There will be slaughter of sheep

Wolves and sheep

Counting the sheep
They howl with the wolves to fit in
Lost their intuition somehow

Expelled or asleep
Or they feel exalted for not being the slaughtered one
Most need to belong
Get along
Wolves and sheep

Wolves and sheep

Lenny 

Lenny comes, Lenny goes
This guy is free
Just like I’d like to be
It comes on my bed every night and day
(‘n) It leaves me when I’m far away

That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says 
No self-pity 
Resentment 
Nor tragedy
Forget me not
Forget me not 
Forgive me not

Lenny was born all alone
It was left abandoned
But Lenny chose love
That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says 
No self-pity 
Resentment 
Nor tragedy
Forget me not
Forget me not 
Forgive me not

Let it come, let it go
Being free is the only way to be
That means a lot for this little puppy
It doesn’t think
It feels an act for free

That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

Lenny was born all alone
It was left abandoned
But Lenny chose love

That the way Lenny does
That the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says
No self-pity
Resentment
Nor tragedy
No, no, no

Is that a ghost?
Is that a shadow?
Is that thing lost?
Is it my fellow?
It is not love
It’s just me 
Or you 
In the dark!

Lenny comes, Lenny goes
This guy is free
Just like I’d like to be
It comes on my bed every night and day
(‘n) It leaves me when I’m far away
That the way Lenny does
That the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves…

Lenny was born all alone
It was left abandoned
But Lenny chose love

That’s the way Lenny does
That’s the way Lenny shows
That’s the way Lenny loves

It says
No self-pity
Resentment
Nor tragedy

Forget me not
Forget me not 
Forgive me not
Lenny
Bambambambambam…
Lenny lives on Mars

Acoustic Guitar and Vocals.  Hope you enjoy.  Thanks for listening.

Broken Halos

This is my instrumental cover of Metallicas "Fade To Black".
I played guitars over a backing track from LickLibrary.com

Metallica - Fade To Black (Cover)

Had a guitar chord progression I recorded just to keep track of it. Added drums and bass, then low whistle and had my daughter record some viola.
