don’t put your mind to the side and refuse to use
that’s the recipe for the ones who lose
if only people knew that they get to choose
instead of falling for someone else’s ruse

living out their lives that others make
oblivious to what’s at stake
their plan is moving forward they ‘ain’t got no brake
dishin' out scraps while they all take

hear me
when I say
today is the perfect time 
to start the process stop the decline
hear me
when I say
what’s good for you is good for me
so make a start or drown us in the sea
in the sea
in the sea

when you discover who the other is that’s pullin’ the strings
and see with your own eyes all the troubles it brings
people fighting with each other over trivial things
instead of realizing their oppression by “kings”

these self-appointed rulers taking everything apart
they bomb you to the stone age take you back to the start
and their self-deluded minions follow orders play their part
enforcing systematic slavery with no heart yeah

"In some magical meeting place of syncopated rhythms and sublime melodies, Lapse meets. The passionate vocals, weaving acoustic guitars, deeply introspective and lonesome lyrics give this New Zealand outfit undeniable appeal." 

Lapse is an independent New Zealand singer/songwriter.

the above quote is a review someone gave me back in the day. the tunes posted here however are just raw demos, works-in-progress. a single acoustic guitar with a ruff vocal  recorded fast on a cheap recorder before the idea was forgotten. a few others have been hastily recorded with a few overdubs to help flesh out the tune. so have a listen and decide for yourself what you think of 'em. 

i work fast and ruff these days cos i get bored easy and like to keep movin' forward. i don't really give a shit about quality production because ultimately at the end of the day - u can't gloss a turd and besides, there's no way you can compete with the big boys and all their expensive equipment. besides, i have neither the skills, the gear, or the time to do these tunes justice and i reckon nobody will ever find these songs on here anyways. 

i am completely dismayed with the atrocious state of the propagandized music industry in general and appalled at the disgusting weaponized tripe they try to pass off as 'art.' their overall degenerate natures and messages absolutely sicken me to my core as i am a sane individual. 

so these are my latest tunes my lucky friends. super hot off the press, my humble offerings to the seekers. literally recorded as soon as i get the vocal phrasing/lyrics/melody 'nailed down' so to speak, so they are raw as. no bells or whistles here... but honest and authentic in a world sadly lacking both attributes, or dare i say, virtues.
