Same Old Lies Clip - Lockdown/Bathroom/Mobile Phone

Written by me, recorded on a phone/backing through laptop. Just an idea really.

Lyrics:

Forever and extant in the corner of the mind
Lived to feed on martyrs, death her only life
One day she's unhappy, desperate to love
Desperate to feel me, offers herself up

But says, over and over again ...

Don't let your god in
And don't let him breathe

Lyrics:

Paint a picture, tell me what you find
Hidden in the shadows 'tween the lines
Sing a love song, tell me what you hear
Symphonies of silence through the years

Suzanne and I
Holding hands in the mirror
For the rest of our lives

Watch the ballerina on the dresser
Makes no sound, just spins 'round
Lost within her motion
Without fear of slowing down
She spins 'round

Our world of pictures absorbs the pain inside
Helps us ease the burdens on the mind
So many love songs, forever ours to claim
The rhapsody of mourning plays again

Suzanne and I
Holding hands in the mirror
For the rest of our lives

Watch the ballerina on the dresser
Makes no sound
Just spins 'round

Lyrics:

There's a fire that won't burn out
Raging all the time
In her mind

Has a feeling she's all alone
Not in control
To resign she's so inclined

Wherever she may run
Chasing down the sun
Blood moon eclipse bleeds out
Hope's rain

There are desires to submit
Lay down and fade
Into nothingness again

Finds the strength
To break her binds
Ties to choke the mind

Steady on her way

Wherever she may run
Chasing down the sun
Blood moon eclipse bleeds out
Hope's rain

Blood Moon Eclipse (Rough/Phone Rec)

Lyrics:

Never will I understand
Your need to break me down
Imprisoned in a tomb of thoughts
Beneath your temper bound
With no way out I scratch the walls
Bleeding in the dark
Isolated from all hope
Just dreams of errant sparks

And I would pray upon the winds
For a change of heart
And I would pray for warmer rains
To wash away the dark

Time and time again rehearsed
A spiral into black
To dance upon the precipice
With your gun against my back

And I would pray upon the winds
For a change of heart
And I would pray for warmer rains
To wash away the dark

There's always hope, my sweet
Forever is nowhere in between
Forever

Entombed

Music and lyrics copyright Matt Lomax 2021

In lucid dreams at night
Where angels weep inside
A snow globe capturing light

We feel the air catch fire
But sense no fear, instead we
Embrace the warmth of the sight

We hold on

And when we wake apart
Where shadows dance within
The corners untouched by the light

We're still as one in thought
Inside a moment of perfection
Returning each night

So hold on

Lyrics:

In the end, the tragic end
They shiver like they're hiding from the night
In the end, the final end
I need no martyr to pull me to the light
In the end, the tragic end
They shiver like they're hiding from the ...

Regression Therapy

Just a quick piss about, recorded on an old phone. First time I've picked a guitar up in 5 years, so just sang random nonsense to easy chords.

If I was falling with no other path to choose
And if I was calling would you understand the ruse?
Yeah if I was falling into the same replayed abuse
And I heard you calling an affirmation overused

Affirmation (Unamped Rough/Live)

Pointless strumming, recorded on a mobile phone.
