Restless

you wanna say those things
that I don’t even need to hear
you wanna go for the door
because your life is ruled by fear, yeah

you’re always runnin’ around
tryin’ to make something that’s not
and i don’t give a damn any more
because your life’s an empty lot

you’re like a
ghost town
the lights are on but there’s nobody home
you live to
go down
you’ve lived your lie now you’re all on your own

you never make up your mind
you always think something to death
you like to chase your perfection
but what you strive for you can’t get

procrastination’s a killer
you got to make things happen, yeah
you got to calculate the risk
and take those chances if you dare

"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.
