(Verse 1)  
The first time I saw you, my heart skipped a beat, A long-haired hippie, in a back pew seat. Wondered why you came, but I felt a spark, Wanted to be your friend, to light up the dark.  

(Chorus)  
With a heart so bright, you shine like the sun, In this dance of life, I knew you were the one. From bowling nights to pizza dreams, You’re my best friend, or so it seems. In this journey together, we’ll find our way, With love that grows stronger, day by day.   

(Verse 2)  
Volunteering together, I saw your grace, A caring soul, in this sacred place. Each moment we share, brings joy anew, In every laugh and every tear, I cherish you.  

(Chorus)  

(Bridge)  
One year later, and I love you still, Through complicated paths, we climb every hill. One day we’ll be free, to love openly, Together forever, just you and me.  

(Chorus)    

(Outro)  
So here’s to our love, so wild and true, You’re my crunchy, I’m your princess too. Through the nights and the days, I’ll cherish our song, In this beautiful chaos, is where we belong.


Lyrics By: Princess Chaos - Crunchy Creations - 2025

Day By Day

A new song, dark blues rock this time. I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

Oh oh  
You’re in deep  
Knee deep  
Deep in sleep  
Eyes stitched shut with greed  
You don’t even hear the scream

There's frost in the blessing, the fire's gone cold  
The silence you cherish was bought and sold  
Hands that once built now just claw for more  
Eyes glazed over, blind to the war  
You praise the lie, but curse the whore

There’s so much distress  
The world’s a rotted mess  
They treat truth like trash  
Feast on the clash  
They’ll betray you for cash  
And call it finesse

You’re in deep  
Knee deep  
Wading through sin in your Sunday best  
Open your eyes  
But you just confess

You sleep with your pockets turned out  
Pray to gods who cash you out  
What you reap, you sow  
But you never plowed  
No sweat on your hands  
Just blood from your mouth

You’re in deep  
Knee deep  
Deep in the bones of the deal you made  
Open your eyes
Now your future’s delayed

They’ll betray you for cash
And laugh while they do
Ain’t no saving grace
Coming back for you

You're in Deep

Closer Through the Pain

[Verse 1]
The skyline screams in gasoline hues
Smoke drips down like yesterday's news
Sirens hum me back to sleep
While demons dig where hope runs deep

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to beg for silence, now it’s all I hear
A choir of nothing, cruel and clear

[Chorus]
Tell me how the fuck I’m supposed to carry on
When every prayer I had was dragged on
I rot in the noise, erased from the throng
When the world is on fire
Where do I belong?

[Verse 2]
Billboards weep with vacant eyes
Selling pills to drown the cries
They scream "awake" while I’m half-dead
Gnawing on the lies I’m fed

[Pre-Chorus]
Apathy's a blade I kiss each night
Draws no blood but still bites

[Chorus]
Tell me how the fuck I’m supposed to carry on
When truth gets gutted in every song
I'm just static where the screams belong
When the world is on fire
Where do I belong?

[Bridge]
Watch the oceans blister, the heavens seethe
No gods, no grace, just grit in teeth
If this is survival, then let me decay
I'd trade this breath for a faster way

Skies bleed rust, and the soil won't sleep
Graves fill faster than secrets keep
I scream through smoke till my lungs are gone
Still no one's listening; just moving on

[Chorus]
Tell me how the fuck I’m supposed to carry on
When mercy’s mute and justice gone
My voice, a cinder, in a world gone wrong
When the world is on fire
Where do I belong?

[Outro]
Where do I belong
When even rage feels hollow
And hope won’t follow

Belong Part 1

Blackbirds FC's third album!

This record has been a long labour of love for the band and features ten hand-tooled total bangers including the singles Rings Around the Sun, Lake of Stars and What's the Half-Life of Loving You?

Lyrically it talks about love (mainly gone wrong), politics (also going wrong), the young and the future (could go either way...). Musically it calls on the noisy spirits of all our influences including Wilco, The Church, the Go-Betweens, Beck and. Midnight Oil. 

The record title, Desire Lines, is partly a reference to the informal, unplanned pathways that people create despite the efforts of designers.

These lines typically cut across a planned route or area, often due to a more convenient or direct route and seemed like a good fit on a variety of levels for this record.

What's The Half Life Of Loving You?

More Important

still in me

A tune born from the frustrations of a fascist led society from which we are unable to escape from due to the controlling influence of the one percent who strive for power and greed. I tried to replicate the disgust and immense dislike of these individuals by way of uneasy guitars to create a disturbing backdrop that seems to be the world we live in.

My Children Activities Songs Do Not Make Sense

Lunchbox Full of Clouds

Jupiter Morrow’s Run Into the Sky begins with a vision of the incorruptible, then plunges into the grit of the earth — anthems, chaos, and fractured voices — before circling back toward light. It’s an album of transformation, where skin, sound, and even the universe itself are shed like old clothing. Modern rock collides with electronic fusion, avant-garde surrealism, and cinematic crescendos in a journey that breaks apart only to rise again. A modern rock odyssey of shedding the corruptible and rising into the incorruptible.

City of Dirt

I'm so embarrassed to tell u all my secrets
i kept cutting but i acted so clueless
do stuff behind my back because of my awareness
now i see it, you're so careless

your so careless
your so careless
i swear you treat me like I'm so useless
your so careless
your so careless
i swear you treat me like I'm so useless

put me 6 feet down i don't want to be around
put me in a angry mob in the middle town
you see me and you push me right to the ground
just kill me make sure ion start another round

careless
