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

For Eva...

All your life I've had my hand on your shoulder
To guide you on your way and catch your fall 
And now that you're that little bit older
I know it's time for you to walk alone

And I'll hold on tight as I let you go
I'll burst with pride but you'll never know
I'll play it cool, won't let it show
You're my fearless, independent soul

I remember the first time I held you
The months I'd waited couldn't have foretold
The feelings that overwhelmed me
You took my breath, you took my heart, you took my soul

And I'll hold on tight as I let you go
I'll burst with pride but you'll never know
I'll play it cool, won't let it show
You're my fearless, independent soul

Fearless

Where Did It Go?

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.
