This is Not Even Rock and Roll

I'm a walking cliche with my guitar
I want to get rich and be a star
There's only one hitch: I'm getting too old
And this is not even
This is not even
This is not even rock and roll

Strange how estranged everyone's become
They can't understand what I am
And I'm not worthy of a microphone
And this is not even
This is not even
This is not even rock and roll

I'm thinking with guitar mind
Love to feel it unwind
Tell me are you inclined
To show me why you're do fine?

The hawk above the highway knows my name
The restaurant mirrors multiply my face
Back and forth to infinity I go
And this is not even
This is not even
This is not even rock and roll

This Is Not Even Rock and Roll

Lyrics inspired by the poem 'Raindrops' by Ciarán Parkes.

Photograph is a statue of Oscar Wildes wife Constance Lloyd in Merrion square, Dublin taken by Ciaran Parkes.

Angel

I'm reassured in a small way
by the sound of raindrops falling 
as I lay here in my bed.

They come down as they do,
countless tiny Angels
down from heaven.

Without wings these 
Angels bring,
the gift of sweetly shattering 
on everything they touch.

So radiant 
still when they land,
they're only here to change 
my plans and save me 
from myself.
A tragedy that I avoid 
damn I really could have died 
you saved me!

ooh ooh Angel

They turn sunlight into rainbows everyone of them 
reflect the setting sun.
Falling to their own reflections destiny in each and everyone.

ooh ooh Angel

I'm reassured in a small way
by the sound of raindrops falling 
as I lay here in my bed.

Angel (Falsestart/Aine Parkes) featuring Angela Solis on violin

Look at me tree
All my branches broken
Leaves all gone

Syndicate Cargo Pt.1 (feat. Flamingo Jones)

Hey man, I hope you like this
.

.
.
Parallaxing; always in the back of my head
Monumenting; towering over everything that's said
It's a mountain of, "I'm not here right now"

something else is going on & I think it's here to stay

I'm not sure if it ends,
but it's got to get better than this emptiness

I'm still not really making progress

RiZLiX - A Walk In The Park

we've been waitin' for so long
for this chill to come along
you are hoping that it won't 
say goodbye

'Flow'

Falsestart: rhythm & bass
Scotty: lead, lyrics, vocals

I'm somewhere stuck in the middle.
I can't decipher these riddles.
I know I must but can't seem to let it go.
The strength to see through these billows
brings restless nights to my pillows.
Spiraling, I can't seem to let it go.
I'm digging deep into will, though,
or it continues to kill, slow.
Spiraling, spiraling, spiraling, spiraling, spiraling.
I must find a 'good' way to overcome.
Spiraling, spiraling, spiraling, spiraling, spiraling. 
I must find a 'good' way to overcome
or I will succumb. 

Society, I'm finding,
is difficult surviving.
It's in my mind, I just gotta let it go.
Inside, I feel I'm dying.
Can't stop these tears from crying.
It's in my mind, I just gotta let it go.
Although you see me trying,
can't keep myself from flying.
It's in my mind, I just gotta let it go.
I can't do so when I am feeling low.
It's in my mind, I just gotta let it go.
I can't do so when I am feeling low.
So, I rise again. 

Your influence; uplifting. 
I feel my spirit shifting.
Negatives; I know I can let 'em go.
My brain's begun its sifting
to keep my mind from drifting.
Negatives; I know I can let 'em go.
This strength, it comes within me.
My destiny's within reach.
Negatives; I know I can let 'em go.
Go, go, go, go, go, go.... 

Here I am. 
My own man.
With no plans.
Flow.
