The embryonic phase of this track began way back in 2012! That's when I came up with the main riff...I know, took me THIS long to build a song around it, but i'm quite pleased with how it turned out...please let me know your thoughts. Hope you guys enjoy!

Lyrics:
I will just lay here all day
Free from castigation and the frame
This is apathetic happiness
Free from all the constraints and the stress

I will just lay here all day
Free from expectations and the blame
consequences drift off in the air
I'm just laying around without a care

Prechorus
You don’t control me
(got to snap out of this funk i’m in)
But I just seem to grieve
cause I know I can’t fight
(situations desperate and dire)
I’ll just wait for what will transpire

Chorus
naaaaaa-ah-ah
I will lay here

Bridge
Through my mind you’re infiltrating
crevasses that are constraining
endorphins
go for a spin

When it’s over I’ll have nothing
Show my blind or am I bluffing?
The stakes are high
Not gonna lie


Lay (Demo)

Here's a cover I've been working on for a few days...one of my favourite deftones songs. Hope you like it :)

Deftones - Hole In The Earth Cover

I've been working on this song since the turn of the year, and i've got to say, I'm really pleased with the way it has turned out.

So many variations of this track have come and gone, so many re-recordings, but I think I'll settle on this one. This might be one of the best tunes i've ever done. I really hope you enjoy it

Lyrics

I can’t comprehend this feeling in my mind
I don’t want to simulate all other life
But I will never fit or exceed in the hive

Voices float, pick apart my every move
Hanging by a thread on everyday words

Will I outgrow spacious woes?

Idiosynchrasies
Instill this pride in me
Dividuality?
Selfless conformity?
I can’t contain this loophole
Will I just repent or regress?

I’m so unfilfilled in this capacity
but I refuse to join conventionality
Will I stand out or bind to life’s banality

Voices float, pick apart my every move
Hanging by a thread on everyday words

“Be selfless, dependant, breakout this womb”
No, I will stay selfish, in a mental tomb 

Idiosynchrasies
Instill this pride in me
Dividuality?
Selfless conformity?
I can’t contain this loophole
Will I just repent or regress?

I feel like i’m just waiting for an opportunity
I feel like I’m dissuading
myself from reality
And if I catch a modicum of life
I’ll brighten my exposure to the light

I live in the moment whereas I should be living long term
I want to be accepted but maybe I’ll just never learn 
Though we’ve only got one life then the unknown
I’ll stick to sewing seeds already sewn

I can’t comprehend this feeling in my mind
I don’t want to simulate all other life
But I will never fit or exceed in the hive
will pride or stubborness permit me to achieve
my goal of being spiritually free
I strive to let this world allow me to breathe
