Lyrics:

Slowly
a subtle chain of events
thrilling
In this game that never ends

bitterweet sting
of distraction
strive across my borders

close to perfection
diverging from the order

unchained
relesed the force and broke the chain
unchained
a new found freedom I cant explain
unchained


clarity
transparent process for you to see
anxiety
i lift you up safely then et you fall free

deceit
I'll lead you through it, -I'll guide your way
complete
I'll leave you to it, and walk away


unchained
relesed the force and broke the chain
unchained
a new found freedom I cant explain
unchained

(power is nothing without control)

Unchained...

Lyrics

Undo Me

Undo me
Undo the
traces of me
still within you
move on to see
your next referee
let him see deep within you

Undo Me


undo me
set yourself free
dare to be
the the stronger you
you hold the key
your own to see 
through the debree
that was me within you 

	thoughts i thought was long gone
	falls like autumn leaves to the ground
	emotions rising from chaos
	keeps me frozen stunned and numb

	scares from bonds once broken are emerging in my heart 
	memories are flickering as my world gets torn apart
	

Undo me		you can go anyhwere you want
Undo the		you can do anything i cant
traces of me		you can release and just move on
still within you	you cant do anything wrong

Undo me		you can go anyhwere you want
Undo the		you can do anything i cant
traces of me		you can release and just move on
still within you	you cant do anything wrong

Dare to be
The strong entity
Undo me
Set yourself free

A Salty Dog (Procol Harum Cover) ft Nathan Jon Tillett

Lullaby for S
Words and Music by Tomas Barkman
Recorded at The Perfect Bounce

A song I just had to get out of my system.
Support the figth against Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

Lyrics:


Behind those eyes reigns pain
your lips may smile
tell words of joy, but again,

excruciating nightmare stays the same
i cant help you , nor can i refrain



I lay down beside you
you sleep the devils sleep
I hold you so gently
my tears are mine to keep


if i could take your pain for now
scare away the shadows somehow
let you breathe one day and sleep one night
take you in my arms and hold you tight

2015-2016 @The Perfect Bounce


Lyrics:

 lights are turning low
streets are closing down
and down here below
the sounds fade out somehow

the lines go on and on
in circles without end
the beating of a heart
closing to descend

in my hand
carried through this wasted land
the future, like a grain of sand
that turn into a pearl

 
ake a look around
reach out and take it in
this cold and lonely town
is dying from within

	awake or sleeping i cant tell
	the sound of silence rang my bell
	the wind blew cold enforced my thrust
	my wings unfold untouched by rust








in my hand
carried through this wasted land
the future, like a grain of sand
that turn into a pearl


I understand
my fate's entirely in my hands
a promise to return again
the memory's in my heart
- its time now to depart

Lyris:

(Rollercoaster ride and I'm invited)

Been seen so close to sin 
I wonder what it would have been like just to
let go of the chains that holds me back and tells me
what I shouldnt do

Do I really want to keep on hanging on this
never chaning ride
Or is there something else outside right there
to keep me occupied?

(Rollercoaster ride and I'm invited)

Rollercoaster ride and I'm invited 
but I haven't got the spark
So I revert and hold it back
this time around amusement park

(Roller coaster ride and I'm invited)

Lyrics

unlikely events (what)
thrown my way (how)
 leaving me stronger 
(led astray show me the way show me the the light source)

so many attempts (that)
to make me sway (just so)
 cant wait any longer 
(the dark of day the hidden way the row of closed doors)

for every force there is an equal force in opposite direction 
every impact leeaves a mark and a possible deflection 
every sinner is a saint in someone elses tear-wet eye 
for every failure theres a dying soul that once again will try 

you make your own bed 
so self absorbed
 its all in your head 

uneasy restless and torn 
spoiled and bored 
princess forlorn 

think about it 
dream about it write some fucking book about it
live without it feel without it
go on with your life about it
stay around it prey upon it
run and be astounded about it
but to really see below it
close your eyes, and you will know it


unforeseen attempts
come my way
(they) come to the sinner

marks, scratches and dents
gone astray
gone is the winner

for every force there is an equal force in opposite direction 
every impact leeaves a mark and a possible deflection 
every sinner is a saint in someone elses tear-wet eye 
for every failure theres a dying soul that once again will try 

you woke from your dream
cole and alone
lost on transition

last minutes before
and i ignored
when you lost position

at the end of the line
at the closing call
will we know what was missing
will we live it all
at the end of the time
at the final delay
are there meanings to words
are there reasons to stay  

at the end of the line
at the closing call
will we live through what's missing
will we live it all
at the end of the time
at the final delay
are there meanings to words
are there reasons to stay  



Unlikely Events (WIP)

Words & Music by T Barkman.

Lyrics:
These are the times
these are the days
those were my crimes
this is how I pay

ease off and fade
destinys blade
silence is here
this is what I made

dont know what I feel
what illusion is real
Are the scares in my soul
vivid dreams or real holes
and the face staring back from the mirror has changed
to the mark, the extent that it's all rearranged
 
I get down feel the rush from the blood in my veins
as the anger and blush is what's left, -what remains
When I scream to the void and my throat gets all sore
I get numb but the echo comes back as before


I loose all touch with ground
fell hard but heard no sound


Its shifting
Im drifting
its shifting



These are the times
these are the days
those were my crimes
this is how I pay


 
early autumn
cold morning
the sun shines through the trees
yellow light
and birds moving
life's breaths in the breeze

early hours
streets are waking 
up to the heights of day
no more  mourning
no worrying clouds
will shade my way

When there is no one to turn to
come

Its shifting.
drifting.
its shifting.

ft Julianna McDuffie -  Shifting (WIP)

First Demo version. New mix & vocals up next.


Lyrics:
21 Quinoa Road

the TV is on,   lights up the room.
blue light flash into the gloom.
pointeless sales pitch cross the void
the nagging question you avoid

who will you turn to?

another night turns into day, 
-you grab  the phone, but what's to say?
you put it down and yet once more
the thought starts spinning as before

who will you turn to?

the mirror is staring back at your pale face
looks deep behind your eyes and into the maze
the image doesnt look into your eyes
the avatar is unfolding the old lies
scrutinating inside out, puts on mute while you will shout
the image glows into the dark, the lights are off and yet it sparks
you kneel onto the bathroom floor
and close your eyes until you're sure 
the tears are dripping on the tile
its all so quiet, silent cry




open your eyes, the world's on fire tonight
I will walk across with you  
tear down the blinds and open up to life
open the door, and step right through


crumbled paper on the floor
unopened mail pile at the door
narrow paths through old debris
if you stay in you wont be free

who will you turn to?

Im standing undecided here
the bell dies out I know you're there
I raise my hand to press once more
as I hear steps behind your door

i know who you can turn to

open your eyes, the world's on fire tonight
I will walk across with you  
tear down the blinds and open up to life
open the door, and step right through

Words & Music by T Barkman

21 Quinoa Road

Breathing

come lay down
take a rest
lay your head upon my chest
feel my heart beat for you
hear me breathing

your small hand 
holding mine
youare slowly winding down down
eyes of blue, tired smile
i hear you breathing

hours pass
time flies
i want to save this moment now
youre with me
safe from harm
but im not sleeping

through the night
in this place
i can barely see your face
and at last
the first light
i should be sleeping

lay you down
in your bed
the sky is turning red
close the blinds
tuck  you in
hear you breathing

feel my heart 
overflow
so divinethe love i know
sun is up
I lay down
and just breath in
Im not sleeping
