I rush wrote this depressingly catchy number a little over 3 years ago, feeling antsy before heading out to a show. It helped get me through a rough time.

It's not easy.
It never is.
Reliving moments like after our first kiss.

We stayed up all night,
After everyone passed out.
I struggled bringing the words from my fickle heart to my mouth.

With my courage mustered,
I let the truth fly out.
I kissed you so hard on your living room couch.

I can't give up, I can't.
I'm sick of being lonely.
But I crack every time,
I'm a bad egg.

It's always the same,
the first few months are great.
Than to our dismay my wandering eye starts looking away.

And I close up shop.
I kick everyone out.
I'm a worthless piece of shit with a knack for bringing you down.

I can't keep you, I can't.
I wish I didn't know me.
But I break every time,
I'm a bad egg.

I wrote this song 3 years ago, probably while smoking lots of weed and watching VICE documentaries. It's about how the human race is FUCKED.

Let's kill off the bees
with some man-made chemical diseases.
Oil production's reaching it's peak,
Let's extract it all before hell freezes over.

Eliminate biodiversity.
Watch as our city infracstructure burns down.
What will you do with your four year degree?
And if a tree falls will it still make a sound?
When civilization crumbles down.

Life was never sweet as honey.
We will collapse like every single great society.
Did you know 99% of all species
to have ever exist have gone extinct?
We'll be the pots and pans of our planet's sink,
when civilization's on the brink.

Hey!
This is the worst case.
Hey!
This is just the worst case.
Hey!
This is the worst case.

Let's kill all the bees.
We can just hand-pollinate like the Chinese.
And if a tree falls will it still make a sound?
When civilization crumbles...

Fuck the Bees

I wrote this one a little bit over a year ago. There's some parts in 7/4 so you already know it's banging.

Well it's just like you,
to try and tell me nothing's wrong.
Well it's just like you,
singing me that same old song.
Well it's just like you,
to try and cut my heart in two.
Well it's just like you,
Yeah these are just some things you do.

But who am I to tell you how to life your life?
Yeah, who am I? I'm just a speck.
I'm not even in your radar's sights. 
So why is it that every time I close my eyes,
I'm reminded of those endless summer nights?

Well it's just like you,
to try and tell me nothing's wrong.
Well it's just like you,
singing me that same old song.
Well it's just like you,
to try and cut my heart in two.
Well it's just like you,
Yeah these are just some things you do.

Well it's just like you.
And it's just like you.

I like you.

Just Like You

I wrote this song a little over 2 years ago at the beginning of this solo project. The original concept was to combine my favorite elements of both 80s pop and pop punk/emo music. This song remains true to my original intention. I hope you enjoy!

do you remember then?
we were just sixteen years old.
We thought our world was burning down.
we thought our lives were being sold.

do you remember how
we felt on all those rainy nights?
walking through the laneway 
it never felt so right.

we would hide ourselves
at risk of being caught 
with our earbuds in our eardrums
connecting all the dots.

we never could have guessed
things would ever turn out like this.
an empty pack of smokes next to your bed
you're lying through your piss.

and after all this time flew by
we never had the chance to say goodbye.
you're pondering the thought of suicide
you shouldn't dare let go,  i'm by your side.

do you remember when
we couldn't sleep for days on end?
staying up past curfew
just so we knew we had a friend.

do you remember why
we would climb up on the crane?
looking out at all the cities lights 
we never felt so sane.  

and after all this time flew by
we never had the chance to say goodbye.
you're pondering the thought of suicide
you mustn't dare lose hope, we live to die.

After All

Mistakes can't all be that bad.
I've made some good mistakes.
Heartache can't be such trash.
I've learned from my mistakes.

We never really stood a chance.
We never even had a dance.

I just wanna dance with you.
You make me wanna clean up my room.
I just wanna dance with you.
I just wanna dance with you.

We never really stood a chance.
We never even had a dance.

How could you be so brash?
I can't itch you, you're just like a rash.
Threw me to the curb, I guess I'm trash.
I traded in my gold for cash.

We never really stood a chance.
We never even had a dance.

I Just Wanna Dance With You

Here's an ambient instrumental number from the RPGMaker game I'm working on, NDG: the RPG. If the title hasn't given it away already, it's the song that plays in the town at night.

Town At Night

Another track for the game. This is the obligatory corny metal battle theme.

Battle Theme

A victory "punch" to use in conjuction with "Battle Theme"
