This is one of those songs that’s started with a riff and keeps on growing. Deep in the woods at 3am in New Hampshire the bears are coming out of hibernation early to hear what they were missing.

Rock Cacandy by Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

Will we survive
Another Night
Or do we come alive
In the absence of light

We grow accustomed to the dark

This was not the way life was supposed to be
We adjust our eyes for survival
And now we don't like what we see
This was not the way life was supposed to be
Resilience amongst uncertainty

With uncertain step
When not a moon dispose a sign
Rejecting all things light
to let the darkness shine

We grow accustomed to the dark

This was not the way life was supposed to be
We adjust our eyes for survival
And now we don't like what we see
This was not the way life was supposed to be
Resilience amongst uncertainty

We grow accustomed to the dark

Accustomed To The Dark

Please God (Help Me Save America)

This is a preview of a track that was inspired by a conversation I heard between a group discussing 'work' they had  done. I exaggerated it for impact.  Thanks for listening.

TWEAKMENTS

Lyrics:
The devil was in the swamp this morning
When I pressed my finger to the trigger
Thirteen suns erupted 
His sweating, bloody skin smelt like pennies
Every shadow in the swamp disappeared

He radiated, the place in darkness
The only glow came from below that hood
I made my brother a windfall apple
Black edges of red glaze, shone like they're wet

World Gobbling decay in a three piece suit
Plays tycoon but breathes union philistine
He fucked the whole divine order of exchange
He won't stop me from earning my dues

My ears jutted out, sharpened into horns
Skin casting black light that trailed red
From the crucifix, Christ scowled back at me
Mercantile eyes rolled back into his head
Oh how he'll scorch me for such insolence
Hands a steeple, I lay my head to my thumbs
The vessel of the colonial ghost
His veins pulsed with hallowed merchantism 

World Gobbling decay in a three piece suit
Plays tycoon but breathes union philistine
He fucked the whole divine order of exchange
He won't stop me from earning my dues

The skin of his back hung loose like a web
From its shoulder blades seeped red and purple
I followed   its veins, splitting and spreading
Six legged spots crawled in and our of the scars

Now come the days of hunger, days of thirst
Mirror image pylons frame the roadside
They bounded straight, endlessly, together
Mocked the heavens, married the city sky
