Collaboration with bkbirge, mixed by Mixed by Adam.

My friend I see you’re hurting and you’re burning up inside
Excuse me if I see myself a person qualified
See, I know what you’re feeling 
And you want to be alone
But I’m not a friend who’d leave you here, knowing what I know

Like the loneliness that eats at you in a crowded place
Everyone there could love you and tell you to your face
Experience turns thoughts of love in thoughts of fear
Because those people will be gone tomorrow and you’ll still be here

I’ll get the lights
You lock the door
You get the couch and I’ll take the floor

I can tell you’re busy judging what you did or didn’t do
Allow an outsider to impart my point of view
No one hurts from your thoughts we only see what you do
The verdict is there’s far more good than evil within you

I’ll get the lights
You lock the door
You get the couch and I’ll take the floor

I might say a lot of words but if you only hear a few
I’ll boil it all down right now for you
There’s no one on this earth, my good friend, who loves you like I do

You can’t see the future clearly so I’ll tell you how it goes
We’ll ride this out until laughter and you’re feeling right at home
Then one day I’m all holed-up in some self-made misery
Consider yourself qualified to keep me company

I’ll get the lights 
You lock the door
You get the couch and I’ll …

The Floor

I guess it's true when they say "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". I was very, very angry at someone, not because they rejected me, but because they were holding me back from making music, so much so that I was starting to lose myself. As scary as that was, it also made me realise that I need songwriting and recording like I need air to breathe. And in this song I make sure that I'm back and more determined than ever. It's like a lot of people say: With all the pain and misery they put me through, they only pushed me towards my destiny. I suppose I should thank them for that.  So instead of channeling my anger into something destructive, I channeled it into creativity.

Yet another Cover of one of my Influencers over the years - Todd Rundgren. His Song "Heavy Metal Kids" is a caustic recording with lots of Guitar work and great lyrics. It has a timeless message and can be related to by any generation - especially the 'Rebel' with or without a cause!!! I attempted to duplicate the original with a combination of his In-house Recording on his "Todd" Album and his live performances with my version added in there. All instruments/recording by Mark Alexander Carroll - Hope you Enjoy!
