LYRICS:

how did we get here?
t-t tell me 'cos i don't know
what went wrong.
your door is open
another closes in my face.
i'm gonna kick kick kick it down.

pills and letters
your mind is scattered on the floor.
i'm shocked to the core.

blue light flashing
my heart's racing
your getaway car's too slow
i can't let you go

(no, no no no no)

it's taking too long
it's taking too long

22 minutes
is a fu-fu very long time,
when you're losing your mind.

blue light flashing
my heart's racing
your getaway car's too slow
i can't let you go
i won't let you go
i can't let you go

Ambulance

This is a song I recorded for a stranger who wanted to die.

Lyrics

We ain’t got no funny
We ain’t got no get rich schemes
We ain’t got good feelings
Beyond the ones we fake
For lords and queens

We don’t have no good intentions
We lost them somewhere years ago
We don’t have the time to spend on you alone

We’re the nearest thing to family
The closest thing to gain
The get out of your get our clause
The gravy to your train

Can I just run to the circus now
My heads not right and my body is worn
Can I just get away and join the circus now
And I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright

You come here looking for happy stories
They all are buried at the bottom of the lake
If you are hoping for truth and mind expansion
You’re twenty five years too late

You’re the bad news in the bathroom 
The blood stain on your rug
The emptiness that fills your heart
The shame you cannot shrug

Can I just run to the circus now
My heads not right and my body is worn
Can I just get away and join the circus now
And I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright

Repeat to end

【弧状の聾唖】
三千世界の華宵と宴の蛇行は
覇羅蜜感症の西行と浮き世果てで
焦がれ消えゆく

氾濫感傷と亡霊の刻んだ割拠は
凄惨な国境の元 廃んだ背景で
壊れ消えゆく

所謂諸法 如是法 如是性 如是体 如是力 如是因
如是縁 如是果 如是本末究竟等
所謂諸法 如是法 如是性 如是体 是力 如是因
如是縁 如是果 如是本末究竟等

赤きその聾唖は
黒き者を刺す
さあ殺して犯せ
殺して犯せ 犯せ

栽培と繁殖の歪んだ世界の脚光は
滞在潜在思想を染織しゆく中で
焦がれ消え行く

所謂諸法 如是法 如是性 如是体 如是力 如是因
如是縁 如是果 如是本末究竟等
所謂諸法 如是法 如是性 如是体 是力 如是因
如是縁 如是果 如是本末究竟等

赤きその病魔は
清き者を犯す
さあ殺して犯せ
殺して犯せ 犯せ

羅生の門に夜光虫は揺れる
罪に群がる、光群がる

赤きその聾唖は
清き者を刺す
五月雨、月は弧状の
黒き者を射し
さあ、殺して犯せ
殺して犯せ 犯せ

A Saner World - Savages

Wake up and smell the coffee
It smells much better than the mess you've made
Games up you've been acknowledged
For all the damaging games you played

CHORUS
I can't forgive all the grief you caused
I can't forget how my whole life paused
But I can tell you now that I've sourced you from this Ouija board

You're dead but not forgotten
Well by most people but not by me
You can't wake, can't smell the coffee
I hope the floor you stand on is fiery

CHORUS

I look up to give a prayer
But I can't bring myself a single nice word
Anyway I really should look down
Because you're smouldering in the heat, I heard

CHORUS

Ouija Board

Single from Seventh Cycle Soul.   Album will be released 12/1/2020

SAFE HAVEN 

she said I know a place
some where we can get away
get away from all of the hurtful
to get to know the wonderful, oh

** take me to a safe haven
some where they cannot find
take me to a safe haven
where we can lose our minds

bullet shells on cobblestone
I don’t wanna go home…again
cause there’s where I left the pieces
that I’d broken long ago, oh
**
I just wanna get away from here
I just want us to be safe, my dear
I just wanna keep you near
So take, me, home

BIO
Lucy Lowis is 17 year old singer/songwriter from Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Lucy’s passion for art, animals and living a cruelty-free existence find an outlet in these artistic creations.  Lucy's introspective lyrics and compelling performances allow easy connection with fans. Lucy's songs and artwork are born of personal experiences in life and a positive outlook on life and observations of everyday simple joy are consistent themes. She also touches on more sensitive topics of love, loss and the human condition. Lucy has always been immersed in music creation, performers and instruments, spending most a childhood regularly in and around a recording studio. Lucy was featured at school talent shows from 3rd grade onward, playing a guitar that dwarfed Lucy's small frame and singing in a confident, strong voice, well beyond years actually lived.

In 2018, Lucy recorded demos of a few original songs, which caught the attention of Michigan artists in the Andrew Fisher Quartet, who invited Lucy to open for the band. Lucy's original song, Safe Haven, was featured at a holiday fundraiser and was also showcased performer alongside several seasoned musicians.

Safe Haven, Sunshine Girl and Waiting have accumulated significant credited online plays, cresting 1,000,000 spins on Spotify in early 2022.

In 2021, Lucy was asked to contribute (2) Elliott Smith cover songs for Kill Rock Stars 30th Anniversary Compilation (Stars Rock Kill (Rock Stars).   Check out Lucy's renditions of No Name # 1 and Say Yes everywhere you stream music. #KRS30YRS

Lucy was selected as one the 3 finalists at the Fretboard Festival in Kalamazoo in early 2019. Lucy's debut album “Seventh Cycle Soul,” was released in 2020, featuring a full band on many tracks.  Lucy is making plans for a second full length album to be released in late 2022.

Another Time

OUT OF TIME

A musician in the WRONG PLACE at THE WRONG TIME with THE WRONG MINDSET making THE #WRONG #MUSIC, but it still feels #RIGHT to ME!
>
Some of the best music around today is #UNSIGNED so don’t dismiss it without a listen; it is a #MYTH that it is inferior to #SIGNED music!
>
Don't let the MUSIC INDUSTRY FOOL YOU, the best tunes around today are #UNSIGNED, #INDEPENDENT & #UNDERGROUND!
>
And don't let anyone tell you what music to make or how to make it, JUST MAKE IT….DO WHAT YOU FEEL!

MY SECOND MOST PERFECT DAY

It has been an absolute pleasure to work on this track with It! Her vocals are great and also add a really cool humour to the piece. I had a good chuckle when writing the lyrics and she absolutely took it all to another level. Check out her page @samantha-hubbs (also she has a different mix of the track there. The Doomsday Party mix). I also swiped the graphic off of her :D

EMPRESS
Him: I know who you've met and where you've been
Most beautiful sight I've ever seen
I cannot keep my eyes off you
Each bit that wiggles, each thing you do

Her: Those boggling eyes just creep me out
They seem to follow me about
X-ray to my underwear
You're always here, you're always there

CHORUS
Both: Sweet something you're my empress
Say something I'm trying to impress / undress

Him: I treasure something that I found
An apple core you threw on the ground
Did you find the flowers I left at your door?
I sent one cock pic but no more

Her: Your feeble attempts at poetry
Do not have any effect on me
That poor excuse you call a face
Has features all in the wrong place

CHORUS

Empress (Marc Freak ft It!)

LYRICS:

Everything everything
Is bearing down
It's coming down
It's burning down
And it's falling out

I'm a drop of poison in your tea

Everything everything
Is falling down
Is sliding down
It's pouring down
And it's burning out

I'm a little whisper in your ear

Everything is breaking down
Everything is melting down
Everything is tumbling down
Everything is playing out

I added the vocal melody and lyrics to this, in a collaboration with Mahan 💀 Mahan who wrote and recorded the music. Check out his Soundcloud page at @mahan-mahan

I'M FIRED
Guess I'm fired up (Simply I don't care)

Matter of life choice
A choice of mine
I speak with one voice
But twice of the time
Who am I saving?
A stitch up to unwind
Pass the ammunition the retributions mine

No innocent victims
No innocence at all
Just contradictions
All deserve to fall
Who is this speaking?
The voices in my head
Telling me do one thing that I may regret

I'm Fired (Mahan 💀 Mahan feat Marc Freak)

I don't have time for anyone
I put a cross through having fun
But I'm fooling no-one
With my whining

CHORUS
I'm green with envy
Don't see what you see
It make me crazy, out of sorts
I have a hunger
For something younger
But I've been stung once before
Phroar!

It's one of Pablo Picasso's bitches
Doing her crazy cubic twitches
Whilst my cell phone goes and glitches
What bad timing!

CHORUS

Green With Envy

Cover up?  I've nothing to be ashamed of
I'm growing up - I guess I am, well kind of
What you see is what you have forgotten
Enjoy the sight because I'm starting to go rotten

CHORUS
She saw me and I'm not fazed
We capsized in the old days

Poisoned chalice, but the venoms deep in your blood
Are you thinking?  I thought I heard a loud thud
Sink or swim, won't you please pass me the armbands
Picture me naked waving at my true fans

CHORUS

I’m Not Fazed

Written by Kathryn BERRY
Production and guitar Sari Dajani @psdmusique
Got a call from the doctor
This is what she said
I'd like to see you on Wednesday
I asked...if it could wait
You see... I've been feeling tired
I need some rest from sleeping too much
My min's in over drive
I've been really down on my luck
Could it wait

Chorus
My blood my bones and my senses know
My blood my bones and my senses know

And even though she didn't mind
She said I should really make some time
She had something to discuss
But, don't worry, it's not serious

Chorus

It reminded my of that time
You had me on the telephone line
and even though you weren't there
I felt the mourning in your stare
I felt it everywhere

You see my wants had grown too fat,
My ribs a cage for all that
All that desire

Chorus

And now you say it wasn't fate
that brought you to me
It was only chemistry
It was chemistry
and now you wanted to discuss
How it wasn't serious

Chorus

My Blood My Bones

Another horrible post as I await equipment upgrades!

Prolific musician, author, photographer and oddity.

Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe.  An experiment in DIY and lofi.  The odd bum note here, the even odder bum note there.  But with art do we care?
