The most recent song I've written. Still not amazing at this self recording thing, I think I need monitors... ah well.  Enjoy, download, share, feedback.

Verse1: When there's only fire what else can you do but watch it burn
               Then the rain comes down to wash away the flames you see what you have earnt
               You gave away your name just for a moment
               Replaced it with a dreadful sort of strain the kind that eats away at everything you love
               So where are you now?
               Left with something more than what you started with 
               but less of what you cannot live without.

Verse2: Nothing goes to waste with everything you take behind that face
               The shadows hide your doubt obscuring warning messages
                they keep your conscience out
                And then there comes the blame accompanied by an awful sort of pain 
               the kind that tears away at everything you were 
               So who are you now?
               Someone who is less than what you started as 
               and more of what you'd rather live without 

Bridge: But why still contend? Am I to be doomed to regret must I always repent?
              If horror's the key should I just let it wash over me? Take it all I'd rather be empty

Separate Heart (Demo)

Newest song. 

I feel I should mention I deserve more attention cos 
I spend almost every hour waiting at your beck and call, you never seem seem to know
And the more I try to compromise I tend to find she's taking my breath and soul

Don't pretend I'm not standing there look up see my face right here 
a small token of acknowledgement is all I'm asking dear you never seem to care
Don't know the distance I can go starting to slow I feel it in my bones
And the more I try to compromise I tend to find she's taking taking my breath and soul

oooohhhhs

If you'd just take a moment you would see just how awesome I can be 
but you're so committed to ignoring everything I do for you my queen
You're placed above us oh so high but down below we barely see the throne
And still I try to compromise I'm out of my mind goodbye my breath and soul

oooohhhs

Trusted myself to know a little more yet I'm here so easily led on
but I won't let you take my breath and soul

oooohhhs

Breath And Soul (demo)

I'm a terrible sound engineer but it's something. Listen if you like.

Routine (Original)

VERSE 1: Routine, faster than you'd think just enough to set me straight till I can figure out what this means
Better they don't know exactly what my thoughts are at the moment yeah I guess that I should just lay low
Give it some time, and in a second I'm sure I'll be just fine, or not

CHORUS: And that's not going to change at least not at this rate, I'm sorry I'm not as strong as I want to be
I wish things worked differently I wish that he had seen oh the foolish things that I've dreamed, you wouldn't believe. 

VERSE 2: Don't stress you don't need to impress with a label that tells them I may be feeling delicate
It would probably be clear from the onset and there's other's I can contact if I need to just stay out for a bit
Give it some time, and in a second I'm sure I'll be just fine

CHORUS

BRIDGE: Oh darling don't you cry for me there's been far too many tears shed already you see on another's behalf, and you don't need to worry about me like that
Oh darling please don't cry for me I don't need your sympathy just remind me I'm still here, remind me I'm still here my dear because maybe I'm not

CHORUS

VERSE 3: I'm not so sure that I could ever go back and be the person that I was before, yeah I'm not sure and it's hard enough just having to remember I won't see him any more
I do implore, anyone or anything so I could feel happy once more, because maybe I'm not

CHORUS

Routine (version 2)

A cover of the Aurora version of 'Half The World Away', which is much nicer so go listen to that.
