🖤 A Darkwave  soundtrack about depression ... or as we call it, walking the Black Dog 
...
I hope, if you are walking the Black Dog, that your walk leads you to a place of strength and deeper understanding.
I hope that you can find that place,
The part, deep down and buried under all the expectations
That understands that
Pain
Is just another form of pressure
Turning you into a beautiful diamond
💎
And I hope your dog is friendly
And somewhat well trained
Mine was / is more of a werewolf
But I have learned to love it, all the same
🖤

"He owed his foresight of the horror that was to come to the visits of the black dog."

I got my first hate mail the other day
I guess that must mean I'm doing okay.
I'm in the forge but I'm no forgery
Being made like a blade
Come and play with me.
People like to call themselves by all kinds of pretty names
But they're just labels to help them play the game.
It's time to say goodbye. I gotta go
And I won't see you again
I think you know.
I'll keep on walking the way I like to walk
And I'll keep on talking the way I like to talk
And If I meet somebody who sees the light in me
This time I'll double check the truth in what I see.

There's only me
In my entirety
And I can see
My divinity

There's only me
Only me
No enemy
For my sanity

I met you in the dark
You were standing in the park
You smiled at me and took my hand
And I knew you'd understand

Be my man

Oh, oh, oh....

I want to kiss your lips
Feel your dancing fingertips
Craving your electric touch
You're the one I want so much

Be my man

Oh, oh, oh...

Be my man

Lyrics:
Show me what it's like to live
Like breathing
Show me what it means to give
Receiving this feeling

Take me on a little trip
Perceiving, believing
Let me take a little sip
Before leaving

My defences fall apart
My heart
You're thieving

Kiss me now
This is the start
Conceiving
Believing
Like breathing

Like Breathing

Keeping Time
Draw the line

Watch the space
See your face
Turn blue

Bend the knee

Right through

In this tomb
Like a womb
I grew

Bigger
Bolder
Stronger
Colder

Oh just tell me why
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

I'm gonna cry
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

And I'm gonna die
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

Just tell me why
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

Oh just tell me why
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

I'm gonna try
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

Just say goodbye
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

Just tell me why
Tell me why I'm so caught up in you

You lured me in
Through a veil, so thin
A rogue weekend to play pretend
Oh, end
This tragic day
But before I lead myself astray
There's one more thing I need to say

Just fade away
Walk away
My happiness has gone astray

Your love was cheap
You're such a creep
This black heart
Is yours to keep

Your lies were thick
The end came quick
And all that mattered
Was burned and scattered
Burned and scattered


Burned And Scattered

You took enough
And you robbed my heart
You think you're tough
But you're not so smart

You filled my mind
With endless lies
And I was blind
But now I'm wise

I hope everything falls apart
For you
I hope everything falls apart
For you
I hope everything falls apart


I Hope Everything Falls Apart

Lyrics:
There's a storm in my head
There's a chill in my bed
There's a storm in my head
There's a chill in my bed

I love it how you speak your mind
Will you speak it to me?
I look inside and I find
Something I wanna see
With you I can unwind
'Coz it's meant to be
So perfectly designed
It's destiny

Speak it to me
Speak it to me
Speak it to me
Speak it to me

There's a storm in my head
There's a chill in my bed
There's a storm in my head
There's a chill in my bed

I love it how you speak your mind
Will you speak it to me?
I look inside and I find
Something I wanna see
With you I can unwind
'Coz it's meant to be
So perfectly designed
It's destiny

Speak it to me
Speak it to me
Speak it to me
Speak it to me

Everything

One of my friends died today.... it seems this is an all too common theme these days. Too many of us are struggling to survive in an artificial world, where loneliness abounds and basic human needs are going unmet. Please be kind. Listen and let people know you care... because one day they might break under the weight of trying to survive and you won't get that chance 🖤 The world lost a wonderful human today. Rest in peace, Mic. This song is for you.

Lyrics:
Why? Why did you do it? I never got a chance to say goodbye. Goodbye...
Why did you go away?
Go away... why?
Why did you go away?
Away
Oooh
You made me cry because you've gone away
Gone away
No saying goodbye because you went away 
You went away
Ooh
Why? We never had a chance to say goodbye
Be at peace
Be at peace
You're released now
Be at peace
Be at peace
You're released now
Be at peace
You're released now

A Gentle Passing

Lyrics:
What can I say
That I'm not ashamed to sing
Soon comes the winter
Will you be here for the spring?

And I
I've been waiting
Understating the lack of you
And I'm done anticipating
Translating what you know is true

I'm getting stronger
The longer I've forgotten you
And you're just a memory
That I choose to see
If I want to

And I
I've been waiting
Understating the lack of you
And I'm done anticipating
Translating what you know is true

And I
I must confess
To this beautiful mess
That you've made of me
Dancing in my party dress
In this beautiful mess
All around me

And I'm getting stronger
The longer I've forgotten you
And you're just a memory
That I choose to see
If I want to

And I
I must confess
To this beautiful mess
That you've made of me
Dancing in my party dress
In this beautiful mess
All around me

lyrics
(In my dreams...)
It's a pattern
I've seen repeating
(From where you're standing)
The destruction
Is deleting
All the promise
I was holding
(From where you're standing)
And crippled
What was unfolding
I thought I wanted you
But now I see
(From where you're standing)
That's just not true
And it can't be
(I tried to meet you in my dreams)
((In my dreams))
Perceive me
From where you're standing
Judge me
I am expanding
So run away
From the brightness
This silence is
My politeness
Perceive me
From where you're standing
Judge me
I am expanding

Paradox of Desire

Dedicated to all those who have ridden the trauma train 🖤
Watch the video: https://youtu.be/fYiQFKTn5OU

Trust
noun
Firm belief in the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing; confidence or reliance.
"trying to gain our clients' trust; taking it on trust that our friend is telling the truth."
The condition and resulting obligation of having confidence placed in one.
"violated a public trust."
One in which confidence is placed.
- The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition

Once broken, trust is often irreparable...
We place our trust in a corrupt society / government / people / technology
(Thus becoming the guinea pigs of behavioural engineering / manipulation)
We are gaslit
Being lied to is normal
We are programmed to believe that we are weak / not enough
We are taught to seek outside ourselves
We are whittled away / divided / disengaged / enslaved
We choose to give our power away due to fear

We allow this

Ignorance is not an excuse

Rise up
Claim your power
Find / know yourself
Reject the narrative
Pain is power
Don't run from it
You are the creator of your experiences
You need nothing but faith in yourself
In you are all things
All possibilities
Be real
At any cost
The cost of illusion is lament
Be a true and trustworthy human being
The rewards are beyond description
🖤
Do you trust yourself
To live an authentic life? 

Blind Trust

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/UUWMRv_sRh0

A dream pop excursion into the meaning of love...
Have you ever said those three words without meaning them?
Or ever heard them, but knew they were a lie?
Whispered without care, tossed into the void as a gesture of placation...
A preoccupation 
A mental vacation

A ticket to easy street
Or manipulation...

Actions always speak louder than words 🖤

Lyrics:

I used to think you had a heart
But now I know it fell apart
The emptiness you gave to me
Some cheap apology

I love you
(I love you)

I Love You

A darkwave soundtrack, inspired by the dark side of human nature.
From my experience, some people dwell in a state of inner poverty. They are poor in character, in spirit, and in mind. 
These people are inherently cruel.
They cannot reciprocate love.
They are lacking in empathy.
They are the takers.
🖤
For those of use who are not like this, it is important to recognise these types of people and to protect ourselves from them.
Don't be fooled by their charms.
The red flags are always there to see, if you have the courage to look.
We will always be their source of parasitic satisfaction until we can see it.
🖤
This song is dedicated to those who are not like them.
To those who are not cruel enough to endure these kind of people and the sick society that is churning them out.
🖤
Stand in your power
Know your worth
You are beautiful 
Because you are kind 
🤍
