Flightless fall

Forgive But Never Forget

Lyrics:

I left you on the corner just standing there
saw a tear in your eye so I brushed your hair 
you cracked a little smile as I lit my cigarette 
but what you did that night I will never forget 

You tried to explain but you don't have regret 
I was always yours to keep but never to-let
that night you jumped in front of me like a suffragette 
I remember that was the night of how we met

and now our times come to an end 
we both now have to play pretend 
that everything was never as it seems 
with a heavy heart you still appear in my dreams 

your tears so harsh I see the crocodile 
the streams that would fall leads to the River Nile
how can I see your face through all of this wet
but what you did that night I forgive but never forget 

your words like needles sucking like pipette
your a should sucking daemon just like baphomet 
we could try this again? without the regret?
but i'd rather I didn't take that bet 

and now our times come to an end 
we both now have to play pretend 
that everything was never as it seems 
with a heavy heart you still appear in my dreams 

I left you on the corner just standing there
saw a tear in your eye so I brushed your hair 
you cracked a little smile as I lit my cigarette 
but what you did that night I will never forget

Forgive But Never Forget

There I was In the tall tall grass
Stalking prey in through the wilderness
The great white stag came out of nowhere 
My eyes lock in a i fill my crosshair 

Silently I approached the beast 
thinking that he'd make quite the feast 
caught my scent and started bolting 
chased after him like a mad dear hunter

Mad dear hunter

Slowing down to catch my breath 
low stamina theres no time for rest
the beast miles ahead with a quickened pace 
slowed in my tracks but still in this race 

As night creeped in I was barely walking 
Starting to hallucinate the trees where talking 
the stag ran by as if to taunt me 
so I chased him down like the mad dear hunter

Mad dear hunter 

By this time Was warn and bled 
rather be elsewhere but I'm here instead
Keep on finding the fur an tracks 
now I'm to far in and I won't turn back 

Now Im lost and as good as dead 
My thoughts begin to fill with dread 
the beast has fled without a blunder 
it turns out m just a bad dear hunter

mad dear hunter 

the mad dear hunter

The Mad Dear Hunter

Motivation Complex

Shoulders back, 
Stick out your chest, 
Lift your chin up, 
It’s for the best.

Take the knocks, 
The pain is fine, 
Won’t be long now, 
Repeat it time 
And again

Or pay the toll, 
The fee is steep.
Amidst the mud and pebbles 
Miles deep

For when the smile gets too heavy to wear 
(Don’t try to fake)
Or friends, a passing glimpse, dissolve into air 
(Too long to wait)
The chain of untold guilt and shame weighs you down 
So you won’t
(A simple way to get some)
Rest

It must be tough, 
We’re here for you, 
Be calm and carry on, 
We’ll see you through

Pull your weight, 
Take up the slack, 
Put on a brave face, 
You mustn’t crack 
From the strain

‘Cause then you’ll find 
You’re on your own 
Screaming silently 
Out in the cold

For when the smile gets too heavy to wear 
(Stick out your chest)
Or friends, a passing glimpse, dissolve into air 
(It’s for the best)
The chain of untold guilt and shame weighs you down 
So you won’t
(A simple way to get some)
Rest

I like plying with stuff on my laptop and messing around with tunes. Everything is original content or tries to be at least... Plz like and enjoy my creations :)

Some of the songs are recorded demos, I will be re-uploading them when they have been correctly mixed and mastered
