This song is about being stuck in an endless loop of working life, the realisation of never ending monotony, to finally working out how to handle it and the hope of escaping it.

Times have been hard on you and I.
Our blinds have been drawn blocking out the sunshine.
Let's pull them up and let's see what we may find.
For I need your love, you'll always have mine.
My love. You're my love. 

I'm mesmerized by your beauty and your mind.
Still, after these years, I'm amazed that you're mine.
Especially after my mistakes and selfish times.
I must hold on to you for you are divine.

my love

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

Rock and Roll Kills

It Won't Take Forever

Lyrics:

Some people say I act like a zombie
Cause I remember stupid memes like Harambe
Come on, Acting really cool like you wanna be
The only thing I’m good at is nothing

Good at doing nothing
Good at doing nothing
Good at doing nothing
Good at doing nothing

Living off the smokes that I’m bumming
You call me up, and I say that I’m coming
But I’m actually just laying down sleeping
When the neighbours are fucking, I’ll go Tom-peeping

Good at doing nothing
Good at doing nothing
Good at doing nothing
Good at doing nothing

Got a broken nose, the scatman goes a-skibbity-doop doopity boppity bop
Listen to the tune, oh eh oh, you bust it out to the hippity hop
Arnold Swartzenegger was so cool before he was into politics
If you think this sucks, oh eh oh, pull down my pants, give me anal licks

Homeless guys with their fentanyl pipes, eh oh, eh oh, oh eh, oh oh, eh oh

Dying from the addiction

Good At Doing Nothing

Sanctuary

Left here brokenhearted
Beneath the falling rain
Can someone save me?

Across the great divide
The chasm opens wide
All seems lost

Thrown against the wall
Who will break my fall
I’m on my knees

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal 
Home

Now I stand alone
Holding up my hands
The sky is falling

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal 
Home 

Sanctuary!
Sanctuary!
Your kingdom’s not
Of this world

Sanctuary!
Sanctuary!
Through grace death 
holds no mastery

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal 
Home

Sanctuary (TOTHM and Cosmic Keanu)

Fun tune about the peace loving folks of Planet Trillium and their excitement and ultimate dismay upon discovering Earth and all it's troubles. Inspired by the artwork of Wina Obake who was kind enough to do an original cover art for this song

The Puppet Master

The father of lies
Is no one’s friend
But the media tells you
he’s not so bad

Looks like an angel
If it suits his design
Looks good on paper?
Sign the dotted line

[chorus]
Puppet master
Pulls the strings
Leads you on
Into the flames
Lake of fire
His domain

New world order
Deception grows
Follow the world
And you sell your soul

Ascend upside down
Headfirst into the ground
Death and darkness
Is all to be found!

Don’t follow the crowd
Snake charmers and liars
False prophets abound
Flames rising higher

Pied pipers mislead
People to the void
The liars and thieves
They’ve made their choice

Without Jesus as lord,
Thrown into the fire
Bound in evil accord,
Fall into the pyre

Where the worm does not die
An unquenchable fire
great chasm divides
Kingdom from hellfire

The Puppet Master (Music by Keiton)

Lyrics:

You wanted to try something new
Hackepeter, a mett sandwich too
Minced up raw pork on some bread
Will have you sick and dying in bed

Delectable dish of German cuisine
Shitting your guts out on the latrine
Host is eaten alive by worms
Lymphatic system compromised by germs

Trichinella Spiralis
Living in my intestines
Viviparous nematodes
Regurgitative episodes

Consuming all my sustenance
Killing me is the consequence
Organic viral parasite
Is gonna end my life tonight

Death by invasive tapeworms
Inside your gut the larva squirms
Eating you alive inside
You never thought this is how you’d die

Hunching over, can’t take the pain
Constantly your bowels drain
Time and time again you puke
If you survive, it’ll be a fluke

Invasion of the intestinal wall
So dangerous, but yet so small
Anaerobic organism
Destructive to my metabolism

Larva forming in nursing cell
Microbiological hell
Infection spreading inside of me
To my heart and my kidneys

Infiltrating the tissue cells
Damaging endothelial
Reaching a state of hypoxemia
Building of fluids causing edema

Consuming products of uncooked swine
Your life has reached the end of the line
Gasping for air, you can hardly breathe
Suffering traumatically

Safe As Raw Pork

This song is again recorded with my phone. (Next probably a DAW song!) Motörhead has a cover of "Johnny B. Goode", so I Iistened to the original from the 50s! Chuck Berry Rock ‘n Roll. The intro is great, there are more songs with similar intros. They are so cool that I wanted to learn them at the end of last year and did. In this song, I just use my version of it as the intro. I play it a little lower so it's appropriate for my song. The last chord of the intro is the 1st chord of my song, except I play it as a power chord instead of a major chord. Some of my intro version is pretty much like the original, some is my version. It's really fun to play with these Rock ’n Roll intros, I could do it for hours. In one of the covers of the songs with these intros, the one with Beethoven in the title, there's an orchestral version of Beethoven's famous symphony at the beginning. I wanted that too, but of course only on my guitar, so I made up a guitar version of it and put it in front of the Rock ‘n Roll intro. Only after that my own song begins. It's even more freely than my 1st song here. I know the chords and riffs and lyrics, but decide always when playing when to change the riff. So the recording is a way for me to learn to produce one special version and not play it differently each time. You will hear that it is played and sung very freely. So consider it as a song performance for friends, not really a well-structured and finished song. Furthermore, I play nearly everything as slides, so it is harder to play then it sounds. I wanted to play it a bit faster, but it was not possible, this is the fastest drum accompaniment my amplifier has, it doesn't go any faster. One the other hand, for some parts of the lyrics it would be really difficult to sing it any faster.
Since someone asked for the lyrics of my last song I provide it here:
Guitar Heros
Guitar heroes of the past, may be gone, their music will last.
Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix gave us all the great licks
Angus Young, so alive, plays day and night
Eternal guitar riffs sound so loud
Make Berry’s Rock’n’Roll proud

Guitar heroes of the past, may be gone, their music will last.
Eddie van Halen’s fire hand, Tony Iommi’s powerful band
And not forget all the women of Rock:
Lita Ford’s solos wild and bold
Joan Jett’s chords breaking the mold
From their style I find my own
Like from seeds they have sown
With their songs I find my way
Getting better every day
Discovering riffs old and new
Offers a lesson for me and you
For me and you, for me and you

Guitar Heros

A song about holding on to not moving on
Some moving pictures (and words) here - https://youtu.be/yqiJaQpJBsM 

Lyrics Part 1
Don’t go holding on to all of your failure
Not if you wanna reach for success
And don’t bite down on regret too soon
Because you might never get to forget
All the times when we were flailing 
And the lives when we were flawed
And all the chances that we gave up so willingly
Just so we could run away from those doors

Meanwhile losers keep on losing their time 
Yet still always they’ll find it to waste
Stuck holding onto that hopeless hope
Just to give themselves a kick in the face
So for the times when we were flailing 
And the lives when we were flawed
To all the chances that we gave up so willingly
Just so we could run away from those doors
Back then
We never thought about before
Wishing we could swap for before

We ran to choices that we chose to choose from
In indecision we were always so sure
But you can’t keep on fighting circles
Cos nobody wins a victimless war

We know we gotta make ourselves our own saviours
And go find new ways to believe
Yeah let’s stand up to always being stood up
By all of life’s cruel fate histories 
So bye to times when we were flailing
Au revoir to lives when we were floored
Ciao to Chances that we gave up so willingly
Just so we could run away from those doors
We ran to
Choices that we chose to choose from
In indecision we were always so sure
But you can’t keep on fighting circles
Cos nobody wins a victimless war
The answers not to go on just live out our lives
We must forgive not forget about before
Let’s step up to the plate and feed on love
Not gonna let us die on this floor
Cos if we don’t make love our law
We’ll never learn not to fall
We’re gonna die on this floor
Yeah if we don’t make love our law
We’ll never learn not to crawl
We’re gonna die on this floor
We’re gonna die on this floor
We’re gonna die on this floor
Gonna die on this floor
We’re gonna die on
We’re gonna die on
Gonna die on
Not gonna die on

Lyrics Part 2
Let love be our law
Let love be our law 
We’ll never forget before
But we must let love be our law
From empty ashes we burn
All life’s lessons we learned
We’ll never heal that hole
Always part of our soul
Let love be our law (never forget) 
Let love be our law
Let love be our law (never forget)
Let love be our law

The Floor (holding on)

pressure rising,,a lil bit a lil bit more
senses heightened a just a lil bit lil bit lil bit more
fascination keeps us locked behind these doors
of perception how do you see me , how do i see you
a glass half empty let me fill you
a glass half empty let me fill let me fill let me fill you up
from my broken cup....broken cup
can you feel it ..i can feel it ..
feel it rising like a tide inside of me and i am the wave
feel it rising like a tide inside of me and i am the wave
sail yourself on me
you can turn me upside down and inside out
never find the real me
you can twist me wrong side round and right side down
never find the real me
feel it rising like a tide inside of me and i am the wave
feel it rising like a tide inside of me and i am the wave
sail yourself on me

I enjoyed a lot to collaborate with Synline https://soundcloud.com/synline ( Composition and Sampling collage) and mozawa_* https://soundcloud.com/user-174681242 (Beat) on this one. 
A great honor and pleasure for me to write and sing along.


Bodies Swaying

Smooth,
Into the groove…

Step by step
That is a romance
Meet me on that spot tonight
Tune by tune
That is a romance
Hoof by hoof
That is the moon dance

Sometimes it’s one ahead and then three to back
Then swinging round and returning on another track

And ancient lanters wander across the sky again
Singing old songs in a language we’ll never understand
And they go…

Meet me under the moon tonight  
Let us dance into the morning light
I promise I will not step on your toes
Just swaying bodies in the silver light

Smooth, 
Waving in the silver groove

Sometimes it’s one ahead and then three to back
Then swinging round and returning on another track
Into the distance and then out of mind
Then slinging round and appearing on the other side

While our bodies swaying to the music
And they go…

Meet me under the moon tonight  
Let us dance into the morning light
Oh, bodies swaying to the music
Our bodies swaying to the music

Bodies Swaying (wt Synline and mozawa_*)

My first DAW song!
I enjoyed very much doing this song?
Can you also enjoy it?

Under Pressure
In this world of expectations where success is a decree
All the pressure from everywhere can easily break you and me
Schooling us with numbers and facts, who care is’s breaking our backs
All the promises I must keep still hunt me in my sleep
In this circle of demands the pressure still expands

Education should be the key, but if the pressure breaks me?
What if I cannot break free?

You think when I smile I’m shinning so bright, but deep within there is a fear I can’t fight
All the pressure closing on me, expectations, how to be free?
How can I handle the wight before it is too late?
The obligations are so strong, where do I belong?

Success is what we strive for, but I wonder if there’s more
Expectations are everywhere,  all the pressure I have to bear

Under Pressure

'courage'

Moments often can not be rehearsed. 
And we're left wishing that we could reverse
time to change our ways.
Oh, what I've come to learn with age
is I've had it in myself this whole time. Courage. 

Strength to walk away without resolve.
Pain that dissipates when I'm absolved
solely from the blame.
Yet, how quickly truths can change
when it's rearranged to suit the needs of all. 

I've been living in an opened cage.
My freedom is my own yet I'm afraid
to spread my wings and fly
from all the years I've lived this lie.
But the time has come for me to break these chains.

courage

From the Album: "Arrhythmia & Blues" 2024

Lyrics:
You come into my home
Through my screen
You see, I don't like to be alone
You know what I mean?
Sit next to my laser beam (2X)
A dystopian wet dream

Sit next to my laser beam
It's an American dream
AI Guru selling dopamine
Space age hookah store scheme
(C'mon C'mon) sit next to my laser beam
Because I am the one who loves you (2X)
Sit next to my laser beam

At a server farm out in the desert
Corporations force feed us our souls
Will you give up your control?
Does the phone make you whole?
This is all I know
Watch me make these circuits blow
Because I am the one that loves you(2X)
Sit next to my laser beam

Sit Next To My Laser Beam

'this song'

Scratch Kelly: beats, synths, production 
Scotty: lyrics, vocals, guitars, foolishness

You're incapable of love, I've found.
You've been turnin' these smiles you've made into frowns.
I must've been blind because I was down.
And now I'm just another fool of yours that's hangin' around. 

I know what I want to carry on.
I know what I need to keep me strong.
I thought our stars shone but I was wrong.
And now I'm pouring everything into this song. 

It's hard for me to accept.
I don't want my heart to be full of regrets.
But this is fucked up, you must admit.
And I'm the only one that's giving a shit. 

I know what I want to carry on.
I know what I need to keep me strong.
I thought our stars shone but I was wrong.
And now I'm pouring everything into this song.

this song (with Scratch Kelly)

Illegal dumping has become a problem everywhere. Too much damn stuff. Contrary to the narrators lyrical viewpoint, this is actually a song about over consumption. 
From the album "Röckers" (2024)

Lyrics:
Dyer Road, Dyer Road
It's where you go to unload
All the stuff that you don't want to own
Out on Dyer Road
In the city's unincorporated zone
It's not the dump
It's the unknown
Out on Dyer, Dyer Road

You've got microwave ovens from 1983
A box spring mattress
A VHS of "The Goonies"
It's an area of ill repute
I swear I saw a chicken wire monkey suit
And that love seat that you bought
But, there was no love to be found
At Christmas, you we're so sad
It made you blue
Because for Christmas she gave you
Counterfeit Jordan shoes
Yeah, get it out there
Dispose of it
On Dyer Road

Dyer Road
You treat the earth like it's something on loan
On Dyer Road
We treat the earth like it's rent to own
Dyer Road

The sign says, "Illegal dumpers, they will be fined."
That's why I always go undercover of the nighttime
The County and the City say they can't agree of jurisdiction and enforcement
So I take my stuff out by the power lines
I found an unopened box of Spearmint Gum
I'm gonna resell it on Amazon
Up my income
I feel kind of dumb for buying all this stuff
Excuse me!
Excuse me!
I've got to dispose of this double kick drum
(Double, double, double kick drum)
Out on Dyer Road

Uh huh, on Dyer Road... (Elvis has left the building)

Dyer Road
