Playing by my Rules

Anything is possible
I am ready
I am grounded
I feel the earth in me
Lustrous gem
Shining brighter and brighter
Like rivers flowing through me
Washing over me
Washing over me
Washing over me
Washing over me

Like Rivers Flowing Through Me

Jump on in and read the latest story
High definition keeps it nice and gory
Kim Jong Un is cool he wears Armani
And uses kittens when he trains his army
Global warming has us all scared shitless
I think they fixed it with the carbon process
Out in China every one is equal
think I seen it in a Star Wars sequel

Mind poppin with the deep deception
Can’t see through that thought correction
A Sweet mix of truth and lie
Eat it up like an apple pie
Scrolling through the constant drip feed
Well informed it’s all that you’ll need
Was it on the X Factor or in the Ukraine
Perhaps the Russian guy is really Bruce Wayne

MP’s breaking the official secrets
Call James Bond I don’t think he’ll be impressed
Naughty Boris in hasta la vista
Opens up on the west end next Easter
Think they're striking at the fire station
There's a new plan gonna beat inflation
Demonstrators chain themselves to fences
Superman said there’ll be consequences

Mind poppin with the deep deception
Can’t see through the thought correction
A Sweet mix of truth and lie
Eat it up like an apple pie
Scrolling through the constant drip feed
Well informed it’s all that you’ll need
Was it on the X Factor or in the Ukraine
Perhaps the Russian guy is really Bruce Wayne

The final act is on we’re all invited
get a front-row seat and be delighted
Get some fizzy drinks and sugar donuts
Log on later and watch all the out-cuts
It’s gonna be one best top-ten hits
Add in HD and save it to favorites
Just one thing that you maybe wanna know
This grim reality is not a TV show

Mind poppin with the deep deception
Can’t see through the thought correction
A Sweet mix of truth and lie
Eat it up like an apple pie
Scrolling through the constant drip feed
Well  informed it’s all that you’ll need
Was it on the X Factor or in the Ukraine
Perhaps the Russian guy is really Bruce Wayne

Surreal Awake

Rolling Hills Under The Sea

The ancient metropolis of Istanbul probably derives its name from the Greek 'Stin Polis' ('in the city')(according to Sean Lusk's excellent book 'The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesly)having previously been Constantinople the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
This incredible city spans the continents of Europe and Asia and reflects aspects of both in its culture and people. 
(Photo taken from a trip on The Bosphorus...the waterway dividing the city's continents.)

Istanbul

Slipping through darkness with her master key
Patsy takes a book from the depository
Her fingers twitch as she turns the page
And bites right through her lip to conceal the rage

Deep State’s moving in and out
No one knows their names or their whereabouts
Flags are false as the fog surrounds 
and viewers feel and find another coup’s gone down

Hands in the cap feel the greenback grease 
And a dark gentle squeeze that will never cease
Defected elected dropping off the range 
Will slip out through the traffic on the interchange

Deep State moving in and out
No one knows their names or their whereabouts
Flags are false as the fog surrounds 
and viewers feel and find another coup’s gone down

Streets are littered and the walls all scorched
Silent figures look out from the porch
The schools are empty all the children gone
And no one can remember where it all began

Deep State moving in and out
No one knows their names or their whereabouts
Flags are false as the fog surrounds 
And viewers feel and find another coup’s gone down

DEEP STATE

Off The Wagon Again

Oldie goldie from the archives, +10years old track and well not the best mastering, but it is what it is.. Dedicated to my old time favorite artist Alek Szahala who inspired me back then a lot with his incredible melodies not to forget his awesome "hand made" synths done with Propellerhead Reason, the program that I have been used since 2.0.

Eyes wide open room pitch black
You certified insomniac
Bow your head and dull your gleam
Pop more amitriptyline
Hands above the cracked ashtray
Can’t distinguish night from day
Childhood picture ripped in two
Your Sanity is black and blue

Mindfield
Exits concealed
Thoughts are unpeeled
Glitches revealed

Scribble thoughts into your phone
Skin ideas down to the bone
Twisted darkness never-ending
Down that spiraled path descending
Into sorrows cold embrace
Your heart and soul cannot be traced
Check the window streets pulsating
Confidence disintegrating

Mindfield
Exit concealed
Thoughts are unpeeled
Glitches revealed

Troll the curtains crouching low
God forbid the door might go
Flick through Insta one last time
Your alter ego so sublime
Flout and pout and misbehave
Your dinners in the microwave
Wipe the mirror move your hair
Is there anybody there?

Mindfield
Exit concealed
Thoughts are unpeeled
Glitches revealed

Control systemic
Social pandemic
Connections are mailing
Your senses all failing
Input serrated
And automated
Plastic transistors
Pretend resistors
The what the why
Ingest the lie
Uncertain new borders
Hide civil disorders
The disinformation
Two digit inflation
Newsreels keep looping
Night drones still snooping

And then you feel your keeper
Starting to push you deeper
Thoughts and beliefs all spinning
The honest side is winning
Foretold events enacted
 edge of truth abstracted
The game now clearly seen
A slave who thinks their free

A Landscape of concrete
Community obsolete
The nightly incursions
And media diversions
Supply lines are tested
Development arrested
Segregation
Unified nation
The needle digs in
Absolving all sin
Continue the story
Of power and glory
The Facts and the fictions
Corrupted depictions
All Bridges now blown
Doves have all flown

And then you feel your keeper
Starting to push you deeper
Thoughts and beliefs all spinning
The honest side is winning
Foretold events enacted
The edge of truth abstracted
The game now clearly seen
A slave who thinks their free

Preventing subversion
A covert insertion
The fields all turned barren
A screeching air siren
The patterns are merging
The frontlines all surging
Delay deploy
Search and destroy
False flags now planted
Asylum is granted
The towns all on fire
The profits fly higher
Supply and demand
New chain of command
A picture so clear
No lilies grow here

And then you feel your keeper
Starting to push you deeper
Thoughts and beliefs all spinning
The honest side is winning
Foretold events enacted
The edge of truth abstracted
The game now clearly seen
A slave who thinks their free

THE GRID

Scrolling on your Z phone and out the adverts pop
Your algorithmic AI friend will lead you as you shop
You ain’t quite got the dollar an it’s almost broke you're heart
Till you spot the handy option where you pay back in three parts

Strap on up for Christmas and watch your pocket bleed
Buy some ugly plastic shit that no one really needs
March into the New Year financially on your knees
If mortgage rates keep going up you're handing back the keys

Kids all need new trainers them Nikes look rather neat
Can’t have them walking out the door with cheap shit on their feet
Time to do the MOT your clutch is feeling lame
The neighbour’s bought that SUV you’ll need to up your game.

Strap on up for Christmas and watch your pocket bleed
Buy some ugly plastic shit that no one really needs
March into the New Year financially on your knees
If mortgage rates keep going up you're handing back the keys

Not to worry don’t feel down you can always grab that loan
Consolidate the other five you're almost halfway home
Is it any wonder the world is in such pain
All chasing around in circles of materialistic gain

Strap on up for Christmas and watch your pocket bleed
Buy some ugly plastic shit that no one really needs
March into the New Year financially on your knees
If mortgage rates keep going up you're handing back the keys

Perpetual Collapse ft. TheAceOverlord

Flightless Wings

This is a tune that I put together for a music challenge that some friends in the UK are having - write a song a month in 2023 and have an album come Dec.  
This is my first submission. Pretty sure it's my first under 2 minute song. It's also the first non-collab I've done in a while.

In Every Dream Home A Heartache is a Roxy Music classic. Lyrically, the song is a sinister monologue, part critique of the emptiness of opulence, partly a love song to an inflatable doll. This is a Trap style remix.
