Second visit. Old school rocker. Excuse the pun. 

Great accoustic guitar and cool drum fills!

Tone of the Day

If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
----------------------------------------------------
Hold out, it's running down my back
What I stand for in myself, I'm feeling under attack
On the edge now, on the edge now
Shut down, the peace inside of me
Inner self is all but here, it's not a pleasant scene
You see now? You see now
----------------------------------------------------
Drifting, further out
Away from your vibes that you're putting out
The bad energy, it flows
Stuck out in the storm
Caught in the rampage that you have poured on
Me now, me now
----------------------------------------------------
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
----------------------------------------------------
Prides gone from the way
You always beat me down and you do it again
I said high strung, the games you play
I always get back up just to do it again
----------------------------------------------------
Now I'm seeking solace
Inner thoughts, provoking words, I need some self defense
Secure, how? Secure, how?
Tasteless, the way you do me wrong
In myself, I'm all but here, oh yeah, I'm fucking gone
A ghost cloud, a ghost cloud
----------------------------------------------------
Drifting, further out
Away from your vibes that you're putting out
The bad energy, it flows
----------------------------------------------------
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
----------------------------------------------------
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
----------------------------------------------------
Prides gone from the way
You always beat me down and you do it again
I said high strung, the games you play
I always get back up just to do it again

"Lost" is a joint effort with Tainted Icarus (@taintedicarus, check out his stuff!), a good friend of mine I've made over these past few weeks while working on this and "The Tear Remix". As much as he may not want to take enough of his due credit for it, this is his baby, and I'm just the catalyst that started it on the path to the finish line. These lyrics came to me making coffee one morning, and even before I knew how to structure them within the music, I jotted this down in about ten mins. It is hands down the most rewarding poem/set of lyrics I have ever written.

At some point or another, we all know this feeling...to be lost. Whether it's from confusion, doubt, or just misunderstanding, to live this life is to find one's self lost at some point or another. Sometimes, you just want to leave and lose yourself. The premise here is pretty basic. A man (or woman for that matter) essentially goes on a walk and never comes back.

When I've left this world behind me
Don't you even try to find me
Maybe I've made it to the coast
Found myself a boat
And set out on the open sea

When I've left it all behind me
Don't you dare try to remind me
Maybe I found myself a book
Took a good long hard look
And then found a fantasy

If you find the crack at all
When you open up the hole 
What you thought was so small
Has taken complete control
It's different for you and me
When you find you're lost and gone
You escape this dream, and then you see
You were always lost all along

When I've left this world behind me
Stopped letting the rut bind me
Maybe I walked into the woods
Left my loved ones for good 
Found solitude with the trees

When I've lost my sanity 
At that point where I just cracked
You know I never even knew 
All the things that I could do
I am never coming back

When I've left it all behind me 
Don't you even try to find me
I may be lost deep in the woods
Or be dead and gone for good
Maybe one day you'll see
One day you'll see
See!

Lost - Behold the Sludge & Tainted Icarus (lyrics in description)

All Music & Programming by John Baker
All Lyrics written and performed by Kenny Dyer
Lead Guitar by Nils K

I recently lost a pet that really really hurt down deep. She meant the world to me even though I didn't admit it. At the end, seeing her laying on that table and myself aware of what was coming, tore me up beyond words. 

I wrote this song in remembrance of her for all the joy she brought me over the years I had her. Kenny penned a really nice set of words that hold true. My hopes are that this touches and maybe even helps with the pain, for anyone who has recently lost something or someone and are having a hard time dealing with it.

Time (feat Kenny Dyer on vox & Nils K on lead guitar)

Verse 1

Just for the bloody fuck of (it)               (Mayhem Mayday)
Soul takers in a bloody (mood)              (Mayhem Mayday)
It ain’t the truth they (after)                   (Mayhem Mayday)
Are you really that damn (sober)           (Mayhem Mayday)
One little trouble headed your (way)     (Mayhem Mayday)
Chainsaw toting bloody (posse)            (Mayhem Mayday)
Metal twisting bones are (breaking)      (Mayhem Mayday)
Finding out its all really (real)                 (Mayhem Mayday)

Chorus 

If you want me, to be better       (Have to visit those bloody memories)
If you want me, to be better       (Have to visit those bloody memories)

Verse 2

Bloody memory done filled this (sort)                      (Mayhem Mayday)
It won’t just stop (turning)                                         (Mayhem Mayday)
Find the witch in spell casting (mode)                      (Mayhem Mayday)
The dogs where never on the (leash)                       (Mayhem Mayday)
Grave yard meeting in the middle of the (night)      (Mayhem Mayday)
Is this really how you raise the (dead)                      (Mayhem Mayday)
How about if its not a (bluff)                                      (Mayhem Mayday)
Maybe its in the other (one)                                       (Mayhem Mayday)

Chorus

If you want me, to be better       (Have to visit those bloody memories)
If you want me, to be better       (Have to visit those bloody memories)

The Wrong Birds

I'm Always Watching Me

Inspired by M. John Harrison's Course of the Heart and the film A Dark Song.

First comes the rose and then the salt lines
I'll speak an angel's name; Raphael, Gabriel, Michael and Uriel
Asteraceae compositae, lay a bed of tree bark
A rose cross concealed, lay a leaf on a ram's horn

Next the carved rhymes which lead to a pause
From the darkness to the light
What was silent now is sound

Slowly light a ring of eight white candles
Hand clap to each point
Cinnamon on the floor, that sweet money spice
Relight the palo santo
Cast out with smoke
Cast out by command

Silence the conscious mind's derisive monologue of doubt
All the while keep breathing
What was hidden has been found

Whatever you Say

Whatever You Say

These are songs that I developed in a very lo-fi fashion to show what they sound like in my head. They could still go in many different directions - more acoustic, more produced - I'm open to ideas. But what you're hearing here are my unabashed concepts for these little tunes. 
ENJOY- and thanks for connecting with me & my music!

Death sells and sex sells
So we're all walking on egg shells
We're watching our actions, we're watching our mouths
Whilst we all reach for the top shelves

Christ alive and hells bells!
The politics and the rancid smells
From rumouring to kiss and tells
And its pumping through to my sell cells

CHORUS
Sex Cells (Death Cells)

From foxy maids to sexy elves
The dribble is dripping from all of our mouths
Pass the tissues and whatever else
To mop up all the unpleasant gels

Societies waving its farewells
As the Tik Tok dancer's ego swells
The future's all George Orwells
And its pumping through to my sex cells

CHORUS

Death sells and sex sells
So we're all walking on egg shells
We're watching our actions, we're watching our mouths
Whilst we all reach for the top shelves

CHORUS

Sex Cells

Getting the groove out today.

Keep those masks on, social distance and wash your hands.  We're all in this together.  Thanks too for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares
