I wrote this album about the year I had coming out of a very dark depression. Creating these songs allowed me to express my loneliness and I hope you can find some comfort in them.

Dying Flowers

For the life we've left behind
For the wind that's in our face
For the fire underneath us
For the feast or for the taste

For the times that knocked me down
For the times you picked me up
For the ninety-nine who tow the line
No we're not giving up

It's all for one more chance to shine

For the vendor in the streets
For his dream of better days
For the king who tries to crush him
For the match to start a blaze

Call me back when we were young
When we swore we'd do big things
Dreaming of the day we learned the ways
Of the force to make a change

It's all for one more chance to shine
Rise up

One More Chance To Shine

Yeah- you can feel it
Yeah- you can steal it
Don't forget where you come from

Oh- say the word
Just say the word
And soon you'll find me
Heading out to Speyside 
Searching for the blue sky now
Show me how

Yeah- you don't need it
Yeah- you sure could feed it
Don't forget where you belong

Yeah- you could change it
Yeah- or you could hang it all
Don't forget where you come from

Despite the Weather

Ice anger

This one was inspired by Kalief Browder:
(Special thanks to Dan "My Right-Hand Man" Farnsworth on drums)

Sooner or later
You come back down to earth
Sooner or later
You find out what you're worth

Didn't you say
You won't break anymore
Didn't you say
There's nothing left to take anymore

Like ivy that grows down your window
Your spirit has tendrils that pull up the brickwork
The program won't break you 
The system won't make you stop
Shining your beacon of truth to the darkness above

Exonerate angel

It’s so shameful
Our lies to sleep at night
It’s so shameful
Laws don’t make it right
How much abuse
Can you take in a life?
Holding on to truth
You’d rather be dead than live a lie

Exonerate angel
Your memory will usher the change
Exonerate angel
Your life was not taken in vain

Sooner Or Later

It has been an absolute pleasure to work on this track with It! Her vocals are great and also add a really cool humour to the piece. I had a good chuckle when writing the lyrics and she absolutely took it all to another level. Check out her page @samantha-hubbs (also she has a different mix of the track there. The Doomsday Party mix). I also swiped the graphic off of her :D

EMPRESS
Him: I know who you've met and where you've been
Most beautiful sight I've ever seen
I cannot keep my eyes off you
Each bit that wiggles, each thing you do

Her: Those boggling eyes just creep me out
They seem to follow me about
X-ray to my underwear
You're always here, you're always there

CHORUS
Both: Sweet something you're my empress
Say something I'm trying to impress / undress

Him: I treasure something that I found
An apple core you threw on the ground
Did you find the flowers I left at your door?
I sent one cock pic but no more

Her: Your feeble attempts at poetry
Do not have any effect on me
That poor excuse you call a face
Has features all in the wrong place

CHORUS

Empress (Marc Freak ft It!)

When there's crumbs in your margarine
Tea spilt on you magazine
Alarm goes on the softest dream, hold on

When there's hair on you bar of soap
Loose your ball on the steepest slope
You want yes but the answers nope, hold on.

When your needle jumps the grooves
When the soul of your boot unglues
When the going's never smooth, hold on

When your bike's lost it's chain
Your T-shirt's got a dirty stain
You need sun and it's always rain, hold on

Hold on don't you know?
That's just the way it goes
And it goes till all the go has gone
Hold on to the fact
This is it and that is that
Hold on,hold on, hold on

When your biscuit's gone all soft
All the drinks have all been quaffed
Nothing left to raise aloft, hold on

When your trolley wheel get stuck
When you've run right out of luck
No one ever gives a        , hold on.

Hold On

I'm a songwriter who attempts to sing. I don't mind synths, but I prefer natural instruments and use them whenever possible. Thank you for supporting independent musicians! (instrumentals available upon request)
