Now You Do

I Would

Waiting To Hear From Someone Can Be Draining

THE WAIT

THE WAIT (Prod. Uguntaye)

This song was written, composed and produced as a dedication to one of my daughters whom I love dearly.

I'll Be The Answer

Letting go

Anyone remember when everyone lived their lives through their Filofax, and had to seek emotional support if they lost theirs? Smart Devices took over and we never looked back...

SECRETS & LIES/Cracks on Your Screen


tell me your secrets, tell me your lies
Tell me the things you should hide, but don’t even try…
show me the picture you take all the time
The one where the world is a dream as it’s seen through your eye
And it’s all, right there in your hands
Your past, your prayers and your plans…
in some modern dance
Is your life enhanced?
it’s not what it seems
it’s not just a dream
you could be anywhere
you could be anything… oooh…
turn out the lights
and what do you see?
Is there anything left
connects you to me…
is there anybody there???

After all we’ve dreamed 
Behind all these scenes
Is that all we’ve been 
Just cracks on your screen?

decipher the meaning, in all that you find 
Discerning deceiving misleading all in your own time…
when the facts are all fractured and truth is misheard
the news is a feed that you read of just so many words…
is it worth every second glance
When the world could slip through your hands
In some glistening trance,
Is your life enhanced…?
is it not what it seems
isn't life just a dream
When you could be anyone,
you could be anything… oooh…
is it not what it seems
is it not just a dream
When you could be anywhere
you could be anything… oooh…
turn out the lights
and what do you see?
Is there anything left
to connect you to me?
Is there anybody there?

After all we’ve seen
Behind all these scenes
Is that all we’ve been
Just cracks on your screen?

tell me your secrets, tell me your lies
Tell me the things you should hide, but you don’t even try…

SETTING SUN

This is just another way
of telling you
it’s time to change your tune
it’s just another way
of helping you
see that element in the room
who’s only come around to
trump to dust your hopes, your schemes
and run his tusks through all your dreams

this is just another day
goes drifting by
without a concrete plan
it’s just another way
of missing every
time to take a stand
a blind addiction to
each drifting day
that comes our way
till time and tide
has held its sway…

Look around,
If you’d only look around 

You’d be the only one
To see the race has run
You’ be the only one
To see that setting sun
You’d be the only one
To see that ship had gone
and no one’s on….

we could always wait and see…

dismiss it all as just a fuss
keeps messing with your plans
keep on living on this cusp
till they say it’s on demand…
it’s just another kind of
make or break up wake up call
to do something 
or not at all-
to build some walls
or watch them fall…

Look around,
If you’d only look around 

You’d be the only one
To see the ship has gone
You’ be the only one
To see that setting sun
You’ be the only one
To see the race has run
and no one’s won….

Look around,
If you’d only look around 

Look around,
If you’d only look around 

we could always just wait and see…
