Lyrics:
Truck Stop Killer

Early in the morning light
On the road, she has me back
Instant coffee and morning papers
Leader of the one-man-pack

Engine muffles, desperate cry
Memories will never die
 
Days they come and days they go
Nothing really lasts forever
Roads they come and roads they go
Nothing really lasts forever

Eternal road goes endless straight
Cutting through the dimming oaks
Every mile torfeits in distance
Every mile a memory that chokes

Off the road there is a truck stop
Evening in neon light
Off the road they find some comfort
Leave the lifeline, luck invite

Feelings come and feelings go
Nothing really lasts forever
Girls they come and girls they go
Nothing really lasts forever

Desperate souls in twilight shimmer
Ashtray, beer and stare the wall
8 – Ball table, final quarter
Runaway abandoned call

Forever, ever
Forever!
Nothing really lasts 
forever!

The Truck Stop Killer-Song

The Breaching

If a Viking was given a laptop, what kind of music would he make?

If Doom Metal was an electronic genre

Wanted to come back with a little AC/DC style track I thought up and recorded a few weeks back. My friend Dale Norwood lent his hand to the lead work for me. He isn't on soundcloud, but is a great guy and awesome musician. So sit back and just have some fun with this!!!

Unified Freak Show

Part VI of the unfolding concept album.
In "Cognizance," the sixth chapter of the narrative, realization comes too late. Awareness doesn’t bring clarity—it breaks the mind.

The song follows the collapse of will and identity as the protagonist confronts truths that no one is meant to hold. Piece by piece, faith dissolves, and what’s left is numbness, self-inflicted pain, and a loop that never ends.

Lyrics

COGNIZANCE

torn apart
cannot unsee
colapsed heart brings numbing to limbs
projects
designs
long lost

over
cognizance
surpass
all flesh and mind

dissapointed
at what cost now you're here
piece by piece credence is over

over
cognizance
surpass
all flesh and mind

a lonely ride to perdition
figure the exit by yourself
turn off the lights where you're on
the circle repeats

self inflict
injuries that never heal
no turnning back, your fate is sealed

over
cognizance
surpass
all flesh and mind

open
understand
no man
can handle truth

Cognizance

A song about knowing the limitations or losing them or something entirely different#

Lyrics
Face the fear 
you love the most
just to feed the devil
that is your host
bleed your past
nostalgic ghosts
cos there’s nothing better
than those not chose

You need someone to stop you
but you got no one to hold back your hand 
from cashing out and in on crazy 
so it’s up to me to steer our ship to dry land
not quicksand
it’s in my hands
and on my hands

When a sickened sound
scars dirty minds
keep playing clowns
with a vicious smile
facing forwards
in twisted lines
to cheat the shadows
where sun don’t shine

But you need someone to stop you (we all need someone)
but you got no one to hold back your hand (your hand)
from cashing out and in on crazy 
so it’s up to me to steer our ship to dry land
not quicksand

But you’re not a victim in vain this time
we all know that you’re no fool
it’s just your half cup’s full of half empty
cos your demon’s are way too cool

But we all need someone to stop you (we all need someone)
but we got no one to hold back our hands (it’s your hand your hand)
from cashing out and in on crazy (does crazy save me)
so it’s up to me to steer our ship to dry land
not quicksand
it’s in my hands
and on my hands
these empty hands
it’s in our hands


Hand (we all need someone)

Don't want to close my eyes

isn't she lovely

Some what of a throwback  to the 50's.  Track gradually picks up more feeling along the way.  Melancholy vibes throughout.

Fly Me Away

Sometimes people see you as the enemy when you’ve done nothing to deserve it. Not Your Enemy is about that clash, two sides fighting the same war, but divided by misunderstanding and pride. Heavy, raw, and unrelenting, this track captures the frustration of being pushed into a role you never chose.
