Thank You to the Estimable Wolf.  When my spark lay dim, he helped light the way with a fuse.

*****************************

golden hues
when I find the proof
and taking it as truth
gonna set sail into the sunset.

tidal wave
ride it out in a haze
people clapping in the distance
as the sail catches fire.

tied to the mast, bent to my will,
I ventured forth for a faith I'd sworn
pay me now your luxuries, 
my sinews smashed my hands my knees
while you calculate atrocities,  
and prosper on my words undone....I bleed

thinking while I lay here
so close to the sun
it's hotter than I'd think hell

wondering why I said it
I'd take it back
gonna set sail into the sunset.

(deathclap)

******************************************************************

Haven't slept a wink in days
the sun and the moon all look the same
guess in time I'll find a way
the clock eats each second off its plate

sleep child it's time for bed
sleep.

no sleep i'm tired I'm still awake
the sun and the moon laugh in my face
all the hours I stare into space
the clock moves its hand at a slower pace

***************************************************************

please be still angry sea
you see, I've grown sick of the deep
ripple and swaying
please be still just for me

waves hit them hard
waves hit them cold
they know not of their failures
and will trespass until they're old

no book to protect them
no paper to trade
just a bed that they made

waves they keep me here
waves they keep me still
know they're getting stronger
know they make you ill.

but they're not made by forces I control
it's the moon to blame.

cold and far away
the salt is all I taste
we sink...

sold for all our weight
in salt and bad taste
we sink...

Things were verdant, Green 
Pipe down and listen, I'm just setting the scene 
Don't need your protests, I'll fuckin leave 
Things ain't been this rotten in the core since adam and eve

  
Verdant, abandoned scene 
It's all comes clear now, we are 
we're the last ones to leave

First we look the other way. What? 
then we try and try. What? 
Now We're throwing in the towel 
down on bended knees 
prostrate, begging please calling on deities. What? 
Living Obliviously 
I'm such a talented boy

And all the world is green

[Wake Up]

[The Clock Chimes Doom, We Don't Have A Clue] 
and here I come in the glare of the sun 
the wind carries me into your lungs 
If I were mercy I would cut out your tongue 
all the words you say are flat out wrong.

[Soon Enough, We Consumed Enough 
Soon Enough We Consumed It All]

you say you live in a video game 
where you get to kill the bad men away 
but I'm afraid that you got it all wrong 
it's my turn and I have you won.

have you won 
have you won?

[We All Fall]

I'm such a talented boy, 
I'm Just the Last One to Leave

Untitled (We Should've Played)


all our life
we hid away
we don't have to play

we said goodbye on our way
to an important date

no sound no wind
blown my way
"so gone", they say
"gone away"

so dead
i'll survive
i know no other way

note to self:
you're already dead
fade way away 

aww. too late.

all our life
we hid away
we should've played

RRFFDD - Untitled (We Should've Played)

rather hastily put together.

dirty fighter

got thrown down and hauled away
and the smile she gave proved it was her plan
dragged through hall as they kicked & punched my head
the lights just keep growing dim

I knew times were rough but I had no clue
that you had so much hate in you
you nearly burst at the seams
the way you screamed
the only way I could make you do

blinded and bound
dirt and blood in my mouth
the low muffled sound
of the open air above ground

blinded and bound
dirt and blood in my mouth
the low muffled sound
of your laughing with your pals


Dirty Fighter

Starlets Age

oh you're just so self involved
your face contorts to the flashing bulbs
smile for the baby, doll
you're everything she wants

pinned up on a fat boy's wall
you speak to him like he wants
save for the way you won't respond
you're everything he wants
you're his everything
his everything.

the day will come when you are old
they will suddenly know
what lurks behind your thin skin
oh no
everyone will know.

Starlets Age

Into The Light

The Circus Act


This set of songs is my attempt at a concept piece.

When writing the songs, I had a pop starlet in mind... Britney Spears & the like.  Actually, old Britney was probably the main inspiration.  Not musically, of course, but more of the damage that comes with fame and what the world at large is subjected to.

Kind of took me a while to flesh them all out like they are and I would have preferred to release more songs all together, but I kept getting a sense of completion after the last song was finished.

We'll see.

A Theatre Disease
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

waiting for
the fullfillment the fame made poor
opened doors slammed in your
face again
hanger-ons 'til the end
sycophants scream and dance
the party starts
right when the lights go dark
your eyes go far
distant star
children scream
old and young inbetween
reality & a dream

waiting for the starlet to sing
sick with a theatre disease

children scream
old and young inbetween
reality & TV

waiting for the starlet to sing
sick with a theatre disease

A Theatre Disease

The crack of dawn and the birds wake up
break the beaks of the noisy ones
throw a rock at the wire
the branch, the clock and the spinning tires.
Curtains closed but the light gets in
like a thief in the morning that's had his rest
pull the pillow over your head
look away from the light that steals your bed.

The clamor, the racket, pandemonium
the rings of alarms and telephones
no pillow can stifle all the fuss
the chaos and commotion we want to cause.
Give in to the cause that is the sun
all my days blur into one
every night I hope to dream
but I only stare up at the ceiling.

We belong to no one
no one.
We.  We don't
want that
so give it back
what they want
ain't worth all that.

Paranoia taking over
whispering at my shoulder
and tapping on my back.
Listening to the four winds
listening to them howl
first went south and now to the east
the winds that took my sanity.


No Rest

Ori & Ego - One Hand Washes The Other

A departure from what I'm used to doing.  It caught me off-guard, actually.  I felt it more an exercise to exorcise the anguish (un)certain events have been plaguing me with.  

A meditation, if you will.

A total of three hours max, from start to finish, this created itself from no idea at all to a dark path through space to a glimmer a hope at its fruition.  Possibly a metaphor of this slice that I am currently ingesting - a soundtrack.

Cue mirror ball:  I will survive.



Moon Bypass

Lyrics are a stolen FB post...  thanks shelly.

sometimes i just want to curl up with someone at the end of the day and talk about nothing for awhile. sometimes i want to see friends and party and forget my mind's illusions....

i want to be a better me than i was when i started this song.

see friends and forget all of my mind's illusions
party and forget all of my mind's illusions
