It's mostly a lie, mostly......except for love, sometimes. 

Look…Drones!

I forgot all about recording this but here are the lyrics:)
Into The Grey


Church Bells ring
A spring morning
I lay half asleep 
Dreaming the day away
There not much else to do
When the world shrinks around you
And colours  fade into  the grey

Sweet Bird song
High up in the trees
I'm Alone with my thoughts 
That often lead me  astray 
There not much to believe in
when God made me this way
And colours fade into the grey

Hot Sun
Warm the earth below
a corner remains cold
Bittersweet
Love leaves you reeling
And colours fade into the grey.

Wave Crash
Rock below have a siren call
Wishing I Could Fly
But instead I slip slide like everyone
Slide a little further into the Grey.

And Colours fade into the Grey(to fade)

Into The Grey 13-06-25-2

Old song from the 1990s record for first time on Ableton live.
Title: Angel in the Chapel
Note this isnt a religous song it was years later when I went back to it that i relized Image wise i was inspired my a movie from my Childhood:)
Should be called Perservere as it was really hard to record both vocal and play the guitar at same time.Very basic mix/master.
Lyrics:

  Angel in the Chapel.


The Congregations quietens
the Priest takes a deep breathe
his blessed hellfire sermon 
once scared the most devout to death.
And somewhere in the chapel 
theirs the sound of flapping wings
I think theirs an Angel in the Chapel
listen close your hear her weeping


The light of many candles 
keeps the dark of night at bay
and a priest who once waxed lyrically
 finds he  has nothing left to say
theirs a hush of expectation
 a calm before the storm
I'm sheltering among strangers
 waiting for the dawn


I stumbled into this place 
with nothing but the clothes upon my back
with my pockets full of empty promises
looking for the something which I lacked
an empty eyed gargoyle figure
 stood guard above the door
moonlight through a stain glass
 window cast an image of an Angel on the floor

So I took my place among them
Lost n Lonely ragged refugees
The wind outside began to rise
the priest fell to his knees
the wind made the church bell toll
no souls are saved this night
outside a cloud covered the moonlight
The Angel in the chapel took flight.

Lyrics :


	QuickSand

Like quicksand 
My thoughts drag me down 
Somtime I think
Love just can't be found
Is the joke on me
Looking for  somthing that I  can't see.

Like quicksand 
Im Sliding down
Struggling to breath 
Everything moves slowly
Love is not loving to me
But then again it won't set  me free.

Like quicksand 
My thoughts drag me down
Struggling through
My Thoughts just spin around
Life I can't  win at all
More you struggle the harder it pulls

Lyrics :Left Your Mark On Me

Vitriol 
Throwing petrol on the fire
Watch me burn
As the flames dance higher and higher
Watch me bleed
It's there for everyone to see
You left your mark on me

Your Love is cruel
Your word cut through my skin 
Your heart is cold
Why did I let you in
My Bruises won't heal
It's there for everyone to see
You left your mark on me.

Instr
Chemical
Like poison in my veins 
Bittersweet kiss
Temptation drives insane
You left a mess
It's there for everyone to see
You left your mark on me.

Your fist around my heart
My blood under your finger tips
Now Everyone yes  everyone can see
Your fist around my heart
My blood under your finger tips
Now Everyone yes  everyone can see

Repeat to fade.

(ORPIN2025)

lyrics: 
Gasp -
1 2 
123 
I just need u here w me 
I just hope that we can make 
so let’s lay here 
and wish on stars (x2)
I just sit and look at the waves
Seen serenity and beauty when I look at ur face 
Dancing thru reflections remind me of adolescence and I don’t know what I’m feeling but the feeling is great 
Ay u just remind me of Summer
Like I been thinking baby maybe u could come be my lover 
And we could spend time w each other 
watching fireflies glide thru the sky up above us 
Ur my dearly beloved and I could never ever ever see my self w another 
We could fall in love w each other , I feel the watercolors comin from the sky up above us 
We can dance on the beach, and motion of the tide will coincide w the beat 
Honestly u all that I see that moonlight shine as u smile at me 
I hear that  1 2 3  thats my heart beat 
And we can wish on stars that will make it far 
And we can sleep away all the rainy days
 And I just feel so safe when ur here w me 
lilbootycall-
oh man i’m sick and tired of all this hate 
sometimes i just wanna drive far away 
get up out my mind for a minute 
i been feeling trapped feel like imma die while i’m living 
ah damn 
man i ain’t shit to no one 
i’m a bitch? it takes one to know one 
lately i been on my shit 
tell them cloning mothafuckas they can suck my dick 
cause they b on it more than my girl 
who make me wanna kill myself 
yeah the whole world 
who make me wanna love myself 
yeah the gold things 
cause i usually don’t when 
i think of old things 

ah man 
man look at my shoes 
and they off white bitch 
and they are brand new 
and i got zip ties 
around my old neck
i gotta end my old self if i want next on god
