On this Road

What if we could leave, leave everyday life,
pack our things, take a chance and leave it all behind.

Oh, what if we could create a new path,
straight ahead into the wide open.

On this road, open road
I feel alive, alive again somehow.
On this road, open road
I feel my love, my love for you, for you.
Even if we get lost on the way.
I just know we will find back on track again.

What if we could built a ferry for the flow.
Follow where the water falls,
wherever it may go.

Oh, what if we could create a new path.
No, there is no turning back, just moving straight ahead to the wide open.

I stay disconnected (Demo )

I've never got into Facebook.... but just once I looked up people from my school and home town: the only face I recognised was Melanie, this is for her...

MELANIE


Melanie
would that i had been so bold
i’ve never been so cold…

Could it be
 if i had ears to hear or eyes to see
i kept them closed

cos now it seems
you were someone
just like me
all at sea
but not for a single day
did you ever lose your way

you know you never ever,
never looked away
you know you never ever
you never changed a day
you know you never ever
not for a single day
did you ever fade away….

Melanie
with your pages open wide
all that history inside
and your poetry and science
analysed

know that we
would only be so cruel 
as only fools can be
knowing and pretending not to see 

could it be
you were so much
more than we
could ever be…
cos not for a single day
did you ever turn away

you know you never ever,
never looked away
you know you never ever
you never changed a day
you know you never ever
not for a single day
did you ever fade away….

Melanie (sitting here)
seeing every jaded face, 
and all these tired eyes
you know you’re the only one I recognise

Do you remember me?
I’m the one that
would always be
Lost at sea…
but not for a single day
Did you ever look away

you know you never ever,
never looked away
you know you never ever
you never changed a day
you know you never ever
not for a single day
must you ever fade away….

Melanie

#deathflag

hashtag deathflag
fire bomber, flash back
sportmanship attitude
afterburner, war salute

air raid, rare hate
motherfucker, death fate
comrade, hell date, battle
hashtag deathflag
on the radio heavy metal

high above the clouds of cotton
we came from the sunset light
rest your finger on the button
in our might there is the right

60 miles, east, west
target tracking system test
supersonic, supercruise
turbine screaming power blues

homing missiles live
machine gun, nose dive
motherfucker, death fate
crosshair, aim, annihilate

high above the clouds of cotton
we came from the sunset light
rest your finger on the button
in our might there is the right

#deathflag / Power Blues

Lyrics:

Such a beautiful storm.
You hate this sound.
The rain is pouring - you fall back down.
Your soul alone will keep you safe
Feel the bath the Earth has kept up.
Drown in the sound, you fall back down.

I want that life back, or at least the chance. To revive all the love that slipped through my hands. 
The rain it hits my face, emotions hit in waves.
All my love was there, and the rain will blend the years.

It's alright, it's alright - the storm is gone. 
Wave goodbye to the life I craved for so long.

What path led me up this mountain? It's led me astray.
What damned decision brings me here I'm at a loss of self, space - becoming what I hate.

The rain it hits my face, emotions hit in waves.
All my love was there, and the rain will blend the years.

Come away! Away from the well!
The deep water sings the wanderer's tale: a song that paints the smallness of life.
You'll lose yourself in that wonderful lie.

So Astray

This is a thrasher with djent leanings.  Lots of crazy breakdowns with odd time signatures.  Enjoy!

Future Influx (New mix and master)

A song about futility

LYRICS:

Soon is not soon enough
and the promise of help
is just dust on the shelf
Bloom in a greenhouse alone
Nowhere is home
You're longing to roam on the grass on the loam

Moved by a picture of sand
Unfamiliar land
you held in your had
Soothed by the breath of the day
A permanent haze
A shroud on the face of the ones you replaced

You went along with the plans 'til the end
You finished your book and you lost all your friends
We talked and we talked but we never got near
the reasons behind why you ended up here

Reasons

Guitar based melodic rock with a 90's feel. Straight up Mid West rock.

The Man On Your Back (Lyrics)

Living your life from hand to mouth, it’s so crazy
Breaking your back for the man to stack up his savings
Still not enough, gotta fill that cup, is there a better way
It’s an unfortunate life that bides his time for a brighter day

When we were young we could feel the blood burning through our veins
You were all mine, yeah you looked so fine…we were on our way
You said to me when are we gonna be flying high again?
It’s an unfortunate life that wastes his mind on yesterday

Living your life with the man on your back…seen him lately?
Give me your life and I will satisfy your cravings…

Breaks my heart my love…it’s just our human nature
The man on your back and the lives that he impacts are imitations…
Take my hand my love…it’s time for celebration
These songs in our hearts will ring out…across the nation

It’s not enough…

He said to me ‘when are we gonna be alright?’
Why can’t you see these dreams we believe take time…
He said to me ‘when are we gonna be alright?’
Why can’t you see these dreams we believe take time…

It’s not enough…
It’s not enough…

Breaks my heart my love…it’s just our human nature
The man on your back and the lives that he impacts are imitations…
Take my hand my love…it’s time for celebration
These songs in our hearts will ring out…across the nation
It’s not enough…
It’s not enough…

The Man On Your Back

Wonder why we made it big
Get it right become the shit
Life is changing now but fast
Carry on cuz you must last
Lonely reckless super high
Getting used to say goodbye
It’s alright
Been fallen
We were tight
Still growing

Do it over 
Relentless remain
Heart gets colder 
The path is the same

Welcome to my life a thrill
Made up mind choose how to feel
It’s a fight
Revolving
Both can bite
Destroyers
Set to acquire abundance galore
When we were young we were taught to get more
See the light
Keep going
Still can laugh
Heartbroken

Move it over
Protect all these gains
Fully open 
Embracing my pain
Do it over
Inflicted but sane
My will is stronger 
Right now

Do it over
Relentless remain
Fully open 
Embracing my pain
Do it over
Inflicted but sane
My will is stronger 
Right now
