Unhappy in Our Own Way – The title is based on Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

Unhappy in Our Own Way

Verse 1
The bottles clinked behind the door,
We swore we wouldn’t fight no more.
Mama prayed, the preacher came,
But shame still sat here just the same.


Pre-Chorus
You can patch the roof, repaint the wall,
One loose brick can bring it all—
Crashing down like thunder gray,
No map out of the maze.


Chorus
All happy families sound the same,
But ours was breaking day by day.
Love’s a house of cards, it shakes—
We were unhappy in our own way.


Verse 2
I chased shadows, needles too,
Thinking I could beat the truth.
We wore our secrets like a chain,
Every link another name.


Pre-Chorus (short)
You can hide the hurt, change your tone,
Every family fights alone.



Chorus
All happy families sound the same,
But ours was breaking day by day.
Love’s a house of cards, it shakes—
We were unhappy in our own way.


Bridge
Till I found a meeting in a church hall,
Folded chairs and a phone call.
Someone said, “Man, you ain’t alone—
Every broken home can still be grown.”


Final Chorus
All happy families sound the same,
But ours is healing day by day.
Love’s a house of cards, but hey—
We can build it stronger anyway.


Outro
We’re learning love… in our own way.

Unhappy in Our Own Way  v. HauntFolk  Reidmoto: Lyrics & Producer

Skin In The Game

Soft hip hop rap soul 
Lyrics song concept by Sas 
*Use of the fathers vocals as a condescending tone*

Yesterday , 
Finally was able to, 
Catch up , 
With my local, 
Priest. 

What a waste it was. 
Do you do , 
Confessions Father? 
( No, son. This church ,
Doesn’t, 
And I don’t, 
But we can have a ,
Chat ). 
Father, I need more,
But that will have to, 
Do. 

Got told, 
By someone close to me.
Seek Jesus,
Talk to him, 
Priest won’t help, 
You. 
How right she was. [ sigh ]

Turned up,
Today. 
Doors to the church, 
Closed. 
Went out the back, 
Saw cars. 
Must be a function, must 
Be busy. 

Ready to leave. 
I hear a voice. 
I turn and there is, 
The father waving me up, 
To come and 
See him. 

Thought, 
He might take me, 
Into the church,
Not out in the open, 
With strangers walking by,
Hearing our conversations.

Got told, 
By someone close to me.
Seek Jesus,
Talk to him, 
Priest won’t help, 
You. 
How right she was. [ sigh ]

Felt, 
Like to me, 
It was being a rushed,
Conversation, 
With the priest. 
Felt like I went from, 
One dilemma, 
From one pain, 
From one heartbreak,
To the next, without ,
Feeling I’m being listened. 

( Son, I look at you, 
What could be wrong? 
( You are married?) 
Yes, father I am. 
( do you have kids ?)
Yes, father, one. 
( What can be wrong,
I can’t see what’s wrong. )

Not listening, 
To me Father I said underneath,
My breath. 
( Come on Thursday evenings, 
We do painting classes). 
Oh, I use to draw when I was,
Younger. Had some talent. 
( It will be good for you ).

(Come on Wednesday’s.
We do bible studies )
I’m not sure Father.
( we go over what, 
We will speak on Sunday’s)
Not sure about that! I have too many questions.
( Questions are good ).
I’m broken. My faith lost, 
Since dad left and I ,
Have had other issues. 
Still not,
Truly listening to, 
Me (sigh). 

What a waste it was. 
Do you do , 
Confessions Father? 
( No, so. This church 
And I don’t, 
But we can have a ,
Chat ). 
Father, I need more,
But that will have to, 
Do. 

Rushed. Felt rushed. 
Felt like , 
He had to go. 
Confession finished, 
Here. 
Wish , 
I never went and 
Opened this faithless,
Broken, 
Spiritless,
Soul. 

Confessions To my Priest ( sigh ). 

Wish I never went.

confessions to the priest

Three seconds Maybe Four

[Verse 1]
There’s a light above the kitchen sink
pale as early morning skin—
you sit with both hands around a mug
watching steam rise soft and thin

Outside rain paints silver dots
on cars asleep along the street
a quiet city hanging on
to everything we used to keep

[Pre-Chorus]
No plans no maps no future tense
just your tired smile and tired eyes
I can feel the world move slow
between the seconds passing by

[Chorus]
Three seconds maybe four—
your eyes meet mine then drift again
I keep that small uncertain smile
as if it’s worth remembering

If someone asked what love looks like
I’d say it isn’t grand or loud—
just two hearts at a kitchen table
while the rain comes down

[Verse 2]
You trace a circle on the wood
the same place where a stain remains—
we talk about a film we love
but every word pulls quiet pain

A siren spills a lullaby
somewhere far across the town
and you breathe out through parted lips
as though you might confess then don’t

[Pre-Chorus]
No storms no raised voices here
just tired truth beneath your voice
every silence feels like choosing
even when we have no choice

[Chorus]
Three seconds maybe four—
your eyes meet mine then drifts again
I keep that small uncertain smile
as if it’s worth remembering

If someone asked what love looks like
I’d say it isn’t grand or loud—
just two hearts at a kitchen table
while the rain comes down

[Bridge]
When morning comes this house will breathe—
soft perfume of toast and tangerines
maybe nothing changes babe
but you’ll still sit across from me

[Final Chorus]
Three seconds maybe four—
you lift your eyes then look away—
for now I’ll keep this tiny scene
a quiet corner of our days

If someone asked what love looks like
I’d point to moments small and true
an empty mug a fading night
and me across a table watching you

The Third Dimension

A song mourning the loss of Summer/youth/vitality

Autumn leaves are falling down
Heavy hangs my heart
Darkness closing all around
Slowly life departs

Cold and the dark leach the sunshine away
Colours fade and dim,turning to grey

Time is paused and life's on hold
Each day a waiting game
All the new is now the old
Different now the same

Cold and the dark leach the sunshine away
Colours fade and dim,turning to grey

Fading to Grey

Promoters of any services: I'm not interested and have a team that handles everything I need. Save your time and your account and DO NOT send me messages praising my music, then hitting me up with your offer. 

ONE MESSAGE FROM ME TO MY CONTACT ON SOUNDCLOUD AND YOU WILL BE BANNED FOR LIFE. 

Now that we've got that straight...

I'm a songwriter and musician, have played in bands, play mostly guitar, and a bit of keyboards, but my primary passion is writing songs--creating cool songs that people can relate to. 

I like to write songs that have meaning and emotional impact, but try to also include some humor in them to make it not so serious and heavy. 

I hope you enjoy some of the songs.
