Tell me why
Every time
The truth is yours and never mine

You reply
We’re out ahead of it all
Back pocket contingency plans
The messaging's ready to go

It’s all according to plan
It’s all going according to plan
Everything’s going according to plan

Tell me why
Beneath the stars
The truth is yours and never ours

Out Of Time

This is a submission for the "2 Hour Album Challenge" run by Distractionauts. I wrote and recorded the music in a 2-hour session, and then did the lyrics and mixing the following day.

Life - 2 Hour Album Challenge submission

Helpless

Just About to Fall

Running Or Falling

Losing Control

VERSE 1
This is how it goes
This is how it goes down
This is why we chose to be
Little more than ghosts
This is how it goes

VERSE 2
This is how it feels
This is how it feels to me
Would you do it differently
Now that you finally know
This is how it goes

VERSE 3
This is how it goes
This is how it goes down
Would I do it differently
Reconsider what I chose

It's better left unknown

Threadbare

CHORUS
Tonight
You'd better leave a light on
You're all alone
You'd better leave a light on

The darkness rolling in
Their hearts as black as sin
And you're alone
You'd better leave a light on

Come to me, witch, come to me, witch

VERSE 1
The rumors fly
Your alibi
The damage has been done
They know what you've become

You failed to hide away
The rituals in play
It's not enough to stop the hate
Descending now to make you pay

VERSE 2
You drank it all
You filled your soul
Now tell me did that high
Prepare you for this fall

BRIDGE
They never learn, they never learn, they never learn
You'll watch 'em burn, you'll watch 'em burn, you'll watch 'em burn
They never learn, they never learn, they never
You'll make 'em burn, you'll make 'em burn, forever

Come to Me, Witch

I only saw you in that moment
A glance and then you were gone
The gravity between two bodies
Still pulls from miles apart

Existing in remote dimensions
A thousand years from my own
How can I hope to somehow find you
Unless the laws of spacetime unfold

Floating in space, frozen in time
Losing my head, falling behind
I have to break through
The physics of you

Tipping the sun, holding the light
Shining ahead, falling through time
To spiral into
The physics of you

A thousand years that I've been searching
Still can't forget that moment in time
Expanding universe of longing
Reality collapses in your eyes

The Physics of You

[Verse 1]
I tried to love you, but it's not enough
You're so cold

I tried to warn you, living dangerous
Uncontrolled
Now I've got to let it go

[Chorus]
Whoah
I can't protect you
From those wicked things you do

Whoah
I can't protect you
From yourself

[Verse 2]
I heard you calling, from the black of night
Drawn into

I gave you my hand, but you pulled me under
Deepened pools
Now my faith has drown with you

[Bridge]
Gonna pull, gonna grind, gonna drive
Gonna hit, gonna crush, gonna call, gonna strive,
Gonna bring you back
Gotta bring you back

Gonna beg, gonna threat, gonna cry
Gonna laugh, at the risk, gonna take out the knives
You put in my back
Gonna bring you back

I Can't Protect You

VERSE A
When I'm touching you
That's how I know I'm asleep
Yeah I'm falling for you
And I'm in deep

How can a body like yours
Love a body like me
That's why I'm watching you from a secret place
You won't see

CHORUS
Alone...
How can I get you alone...

VERSE B
We came into this world
With nothing but blood and bone
I swear on my grave
I won't let you die alone

BRIDGE
I can't do this alone

OUTRO
Body's weak but the flesh is willing
Can you see yourself inside my eyes

Alone

VERSE 1
Wake up now the coffee's hot
Suck it down another day you already forgot
Sit tight in the traffic line
With luck you'll make it downtown just in time

Land late but ya punch on in
With the early birds lookin like a cat came in
Just doin what they said you'd do
Run the code, be a node
The role you fell into

Wake up now the coffee's cold
Suck it down you know tha fortune favors the bold
Sit tight in the traffic line
With luck you'll make it downtown just in time

Land late but ya punch on in
With the early birds lookin just a little bit thin
Just doin what they said you'd do
Run the code, be a node
Be anything but you

CHORUS
All I can see
There's just one last little something that I need
All I could be
There's just one last little hole inside me

One more day fillin it up
Another little drop goin in my cup
One more day fillin it up
Yeah time is running out gotta fill my cup

One more night drinkin it up
I find another dream leakin out my cup
One more night drinkin it up
Get another couple days of living it up

VERSE 2
Wake up and the mirror's cold
Tell me how in the hell did I get this old
I just did what they said I'd do
Play the cards by the rules and try to push on through

Wake up and the mirror's cold
Tell me how in the hell did I get this old
I just did what they said I'd do
Run the code, be a node, a message coming through

OUTRO
All I can see
There's just one last little something that I need
All I could be
There's just one last little hole inside me

One more day fillin it up
Another little drop goin in my cup
One more day fillin it up
Yeah time is running out gotta fill my cup

One more night drinkin it up
Yeah I find that every dreams leakin out my cup
One last night drinkin it up
How I tried, and I tried, but now my time is up

Run the Code

I make electronic music that feeds on the tension between structure and emotion, melody and noise, control and collapse. It’s textured, cinematic, and built to hold a mood. Influences include soundtrack composers, 80's radio, industrial textures, and a nostalgia for places and lives that never existed.
