Lyrics
**Verse**
Breaking out, time to leave this place
There’s somewhere else I want to be

The sun is hot
But you can cool off at the shore
And then walk to the bar
The nights go long
Nowhere to be the next day
So see you at the beach

Shoes off and your feet in the sand
Clear your mind leave the stress at home

cut loose and find a little love
or just kick back and let your life flow

Forget yesterday, 
It was a little too little and a little too late
Sometimes all we need is a little bit of time
And a whole lot of wine

**Chorus**
I’m on my way
Nothing stopping me
Go to get away
Get me out of here

**Verse**
Line ‘em up, pour the tequila
Lick it, shoot it, suck it, pour it again and repeat

Feeling the grove?
Check out the copper-tone cutie
With the really fine booty
Looking pretty fine
Much sweeter on the eyes
Than a coked up kitty

**Chorus**
I’m on my way
Nothing stopping me
Go to get away
Get me out of here

Rock on

On my way

On My Way

Young & Reckless

Shining Star

Make Believe - Robert Grigg

A cathedral of circuits and steel: blade-edged guitars, obsidian synth choirs, and drums like thunder in a vaulted nave. Black Glass Gospel is a liturgy for the neon night—sermons of grit, absolution through distortion, and hymns sung to electricity.

What it sounds like
Retrosynth choirs over metal spine • cinematic low end • angular hooks • epic, chant-like choruses.

Themes
Faith under fire • shattered icons and new devotions • confession at the edge of the city • mercy in the machine.

For playlists / mood
metalwave • dark synth • cinematic • night drive • fight scene • ritual energy

Credits
Written, performed, produced & mixed by Vector Collapse (Chris Morley).

Suggested tags
retrosynth, synthwave, metal, metalwave, darksynth, cinematic, industrial, cyberpunk, VectorCollapse, BlackGlassGospel

Release notes
Mastered for impact and width. Light the censer, raise the gain, let the gospel roar.

Cracked Halo Geometry

“Contention” is a raw, emotionally charged alternative rock track. The song balances heavy, driving guitars with melodic tension, creating a sound that feels both urgent and vulnerable. The vocals carry a strained, aching intensity — a voice caught between collapse and defiance — expressing the inner battle of someone fighting to stay grounded while everything inside is pulling apart.

Contention

This is how my dog acts even though he eats breakfast, has food out 24/7 and gets treats throughout the day. Still....if you ask him he is star-ving!

ABOUT THE DUET ARIA
From Masquerade, the third act in a trio of operas called Three Way. Masquerade takes place at a lavish suburban home. It’s a swinglife party, where people from all walks of life pursue their wildest erotic dreams. Couples in masks and robes have paired off in twos and threes. In this aria, married couple Jessie and Marcus enter without recognizing each other, due to the masks. Both have just been with strangers—Jessie with genderqueer Tyler, and Marcus with Connie. Both are amazed and also confused.

ABOUT THE OPERA
An Il trittico for the Tinder generation, Three Way is a new opera about the present and future of sex and love with music by Robert Paterson (The Whole Truth) and a libretto by David Cote (Blind Injustice). In three playful acts, average heroes explore the worlds of android lovers, BDSM and polyamory in a quest for “more” in today’s hyperconnected and gender-fluid world. Featuring Nashville Opera, conducted by Dean Williamson. Original cast recording.

JESSIE
So, that happened.
That really happened.
You wanted and you got,
And the getting, well, it’s not
Exactly what you thought
You wanted all that time ago.
There’s wanting and there’s getting,
Then a process of forgetting,
And strangest is the stranger that you know.

(Marcus enters, looking back at the room he just left.)

MARCUS
I’m pretty sure that wasn’t Jessie.
So, we transacted.
Yes, transacted.
She was selling, and I bought,
Or did I steal and then get caught?
But what if I had fought,
And tell me who exactly is the foe?
There’s wanting and there’s getting,
Then a process of regretting,
And strangest is the stranger that you know.

(Jessie and Marcus end up facing each other.)

MARCUS & JESSIE
So, that happened.
That really happened.
We were flirting then we clicked,
Or was she fooling, was I tricked?
It’s not as if I didn’t want to go.
There’s wanting and there’s getting,
And the difference is upsetting,
And strangest is the stranger that you know.

Independent artist making songs that rock.

I don’t know about you but I miss hearing songs that just rock.  A couple of guitars, bass, drums, vocals, and harmonies make such a powerful combination.  It’s this power and energy that I’m after in the songs I record.
I perform all parts on these recordings unless otherwise specified. I’m primarily a guitar player and never considered myself a singer but I started doing it to complete my songs and I may be finding a voice for myself.
I’m open to collaboration so reach out if you’d like to work on some tracks.  I don’t have any rap on my tracks, don’t listen to much rap, but I have a couple of incomplete songs I’m interested in brining some rap into.  So let me know if any of you rappers want to collaborate with a rocker.
Recording, mixing, mastering is just as much of a hobby as playing the music is.  If you’d like another ear on your mix or some mastering done, drop me a message.  I’m not looking for money for it, just the opportunity to practice my skills on other artists work, see what I can do, and help a fellow musician.
Finally, I’m looking to put together a band to see how my songs work live.  Reach out if you’re interested and in the RDU area.  Follow me on my social media links to get the latest updates on the journey and share some music and laughs.
Cheers!

On My Way
