Dark Chasm Of A Wish Fly

indifference
you like the indifference
you like the numb feeling in your mind
indifference
are you hanging onto nothing? so you can let it all go
indifference
is this what makes you happy? leave all decisions to us
indifference
so you can sit back, relax and don't worry about a thing

watch them squirm
watch them squirm
don't you worry 
no don't you worry about a thing
we will figure it out

indifference
figure it out
where to go 
what to do next
indifference
when this doesn't work its not your fault
indifference
"well I told you so"
"well it reeks of this and it reeks of that"
indifference
"no I wont do it there's no point"

watch them squirm
watch them squirm
don't you worry
no don't you worry 
we will figure it out

indifference is your favourite game to play
indifference is your favourite game to play

sit tight you'll know what's right 
when it comes to you its alright

watch them squirm 
just like worms
watch them squirm 
just like worms
don't you worry about a thing no
don't you worry about a thing
we will sort it out
we will sort it out
we will figure it out

as you watch us squirm

Indifference

Space And Time

toying
playing with ideas
in my minds eye
to find a space
create a trance
getting rid of the fear

there's no time like right now
there's no time like right now

i'm playing 
the same old shit
round and round
well in my mind 
over and over again
I am trying to find some peace and quiet

its funny
the amount of times
i try to do this
its draining 
complaining to myself
about the lack of space I have

existential terror 
feeding your mind feeding my mind
all the time
i cant get away
its over ruling me
i needed you my friends
but you weren't there
no where in sight
we will find a place
to keep the fears from taking over you
i cant' keep this up for long

can i let myself go bed please
can i let myself go bed please
i need to go fucking bed

can i let myself go to bed
i just need some peace and quiet
can someone put me to sleep?
knock me out
give me some peace

let me go to sleep
let me go to sleep

there's no time like right now
there's no time like right now

Bed Please

I dont want to wear my face today
I want to put on a different one
some animal else

tape my eyes
chain me
dangle me
play me
its not a fun game

lets let the both of us
meet above the clouds
become one
then we'll come back 
and make it a better person

I am alive because I am slave


Slave Some Animal Else Acoustic Demo

For my younger brother Graeme Duncan, miss him and think about him every day.  Born 2nd September 1982, Died 24th December 2013.  Almost three years?  Feels like yesterday.  I hope I done you well my brother.

Graeme's eulogy, it was the hardest thing I'll ever have to do in my life.

"some people call me naive
but i believe 
truly believe
that we are all reflections of each other
learning from one another
the faults we see in others 
are most likely our own
we need to judge ourselves
before we judge someone else
selflessly helping our own personified being
into our own questions of wants, wheres whys and whens
forgive ourselves
help ourselves
love our self
then we can judge one another without conviction
with open arms and love in our eyes
helping others realize
their own faults
mending ourselves along the way

my brother was a beautiful human being
with faults
just like us
i regret how i treated him

Graeme had a good nature, 
even tho sometimes he had trouble showing it.
he lived with a lot of regret, 
but he never, ever 
had a bad word to say about anyone

He was my cheeky younger brother,
testing my patience
driving me mad
but is that not what brothers do

I have to call him my younger brother by the way
cant call him my wee brother
he ended up being a lot bigger than me.

its a shock to us all 
but he was a big part 
an unforgettable part of our lives 
at one point or another
we are all human beings 
dealing with our own problems
he was exactly the same as each of us here now 
but with over - reactive - emotions 
he had a tendency to get highly strung out
or motivated
or lethargic and thoughtful
he was the extreme of human emotion
he was recently diagnosed with severe paranoid schizophrenia
its an incredibly hard illness to understand
finding out he had this explained a few things to us

but in recent times he could calm me down in just a few words 
or a sentence
he was getting better
he was getting to that stage of clarity and assemblance of the mind
i was getting to that stage of wanting him back in my life
i was getting ready to know him again
in the end he was the brother i remembered and loved

the song i am going to play is about letting people go 
when u are not ready to, 
facing up to it and accepting it no matter what.  
carrying on regardless.

hold onto memories good or unforgettable about Graeme, 
life is terrifyingly precious
and unique
cherish it"

Done You Well

I write music for myself, to express my inner feelings and thoughts about the world we live in. It helps me focus and keeps me going. I also write music and sound design for films and animations. Its good fun!
