Matt Lange - Consider This

Bleed Together is out now:  smarturl.it/bleedtogether

Lyrics: 

So this is the way
You wove your thread into my fate
Echoes in your eyes and through your hair
Mirror blue and I stare
Entwined in crimson desire
We’ll take it slow
Tend our garden as it grows
Lift you up to breath you in
Grasp me tight and feel you break my skin
For nights like this I’d burn forever
Can you paint our picture on a star
Your inherent charms apparent
Can you stand below and catch my fall
You’re protected, I’m connected
Can you carve your name into my heart
Tear it open, yours for taking
Can you cut yourself in symmetry
Birds of a feather bleed together
We’ll take it slow
So no one knows
That we’re tethered
We’ll take it slow
So no one knows
We’re of a feather

Bleed Together

テクノカマキリ (Demo)

Run Away

You've opened your eyes
To a world on fire
A stately funeral pyre
So where you going now

And as the flames burn low
And the embers glowed
I can’t hear a single word
That you're saying now

But I’m not the one to put it out

You emptied your heart
On a world in the dark
But your Lightning bolts have missed their mark
So what you throwing now

And when they are singing your song
Are you humming along
Even though they’ve got it all wrong
So whatcha singing now

And I'm not the one to shout it out

Feign a smile
But I can see it in your eyes
We’ve learned to live in dark ages 
But you’re desperate for the sunrise

Paint the night
Tracing the shadows in failing light
We’ve learned to live in the dark ages
But we waiting on the sunrise..

Diary Of A Cephalopod In Crisis

Part 2 of the S.P.A.C.E. saga
prod. by James D
Words TDJ

There's no turning back now
There's an event horizon
I'm off the coverage map anyhow - No Verizon
No disguise could hide the surprise attack from my friends.
I'd re-up the supplies to my men but they're all dead.
I keep a rocket in my back pocket
I blast atomic.
Rain down like a comet
Can you hear me now? You can't stop it
Microphone getting so hot I'ma drop it
But it's burning hotter than the sun
So I'm leaving nothing but ashes in my palm when I'm done.

The planets are all ashes 
The stars are all dust
The station's been destroyed 
There's no one left to trust.

The planet's in ashes.
The environment's in shambles.
I may as well be wearing a briar coat made out of brambles out here in thin zone
Trying to phone home but my signal is scrambled.
Trying to get a handle
But to make an omelette you gotta break a few eggs
Watch me upstage my enemies
Poison stinging like the tentacles of an anemone 
One day I'll make the shadow pay 
But it steady stays ahead of me.

Chorus (repeat)

Planets to Ashes

Photo Cred: 5 Ace.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]:
I know you're struggling,
I feel your heart breaking,
Just know I'm by your side,
Even though, even though I'm half the world away.

[Chorus]:
Half the world away.

[Verse 2]:
Please close your eyes tonight,
Imagine distant skies,
I'll be there for you to find,
Even when, even when I'm half the world away.

[Chorus]:
Half the world away.

[Bridge]:
I promise babe,
Every day,
That I'm astray,
You will find, you will find, you will find me,
Even when, even though I'm half the world away.

[Chorus]:
Half the world away.

Half The World Away

Welcome to the Assassins Experience, Hope you enjoy the ride :)

Lyrics & Rap: Tone Deaf Jeff (https://soundcloud.com/tonedeafjeffmusic)
Music Production, Mix & Master: Partial Cigar (https://soundcloud.com/partial-cigar)

First Act:

An assassin in white. 
Sent to sever the sultan's life. 
He waits till the toast at night when the wine has been spiked. 
And while everyone's clutching at their throats, 
the sultan's slipped a note. 
Written in blood. 
It says look up you dumb thug. 
And he does. 
The killer plummets down, 
lunging at the guy with a knife plunging around,  
toppling the sultanate and sending his crown clattering to the ground.  
He retreats, mission complete. 
Disappears in a dervish, 
off to collect the check for his service.

Second Act:

A certain ebon assassin answering the call to arms from the rebel faction. 
Her whirlwind of death gains traction as she slips through their camp inactive.
Blacks out a lamp. 
Acts out a plan. Knives flick out fast. 
She kicks down a guard with a low sweep, 
nicks his neck mostly, 
hoping he'll go to sleep soon from the toxin. 
Drop a smoke bomb now everyone's coughing. 
Slashing and stumbling, 
a confused throng wondering what's wrong, 
too busy bumbling to notice their target's gone. 
In the chaos she'd sown, 
she killed twenty of their own. 
As for their leader? She left em alone. 
Demoralized men would mutiny soon enough tearing the skin from his bones.

Assassins (Feat. Tone Deaf Jeff)

Had the guitar written for this for ages and recently put it to some nice lyrics about performing at an open mic, no ones listening except the one person you care about, and that's all you need. Lots of clean up possible but kinda burnt out on it and wanna move on, initially thought id have harmonising vocals and some strings but I never got them to work (hence the demo).

Lyrics:
The bar is filled with noise
Louder than my voice
My song will go unheard
Aren't open mics absurd
But you're always listening
I know that you care
lost the room but I'm focusing
On the moment that we share


Guess it feels the same
Our secret type of fame
You can't be outdone
My audience of one
Well do it all again
Our self indulgent game
You always make it fun
My audience of one


I crack a stupid joke
Your laughter gives me hope
You've heard them all before
Still laugh while they ignore
Dont care they're not listening
I just care that you do
Lost the room but I'm focusing
Focusing on you


Guess it feels the same
A secret type of fame
You can't be outdone
My audience of one
Well do it all again
Our self indulgent game
You always make it fun
My audience of one

Audience Of One (Demo)

Featuring https://soundcloud.com/melosopher on saxophone

Are you friend or foe?
Never seem to know with you
True, we share a name
But you don't feel the same, do you?
I'm baited and blistered
All because it's not for you

Did you think about it?
Or did you try to break it? 
Have you come to numb the pain?
In some world
Some day
You won't need to blame me
Could we try to start again?

Tear me down again
Just to feel the weight from you
Some won't let you near
While others lie in fear of you

Come in screaming
With your guns blazing
Have you come to numb the pain?
In some world
Some day
You won't need to blame me
Could we try to start again?

Lyrics:

A rainy day
With family photos in the morning
are you ready?

And the boy
he don't want to
so hes swinging 
and hes jumping
and hes tumbling on the floor

oh honey,
wheres my sweater?
you know the grey one that i always used to wear

family photos
family photos on a Saturday 
in the rain, oh no

do we look pretty?
do we look pretty?
in our sweaters in the fall.

dont we look pretty?
for our family photos this year.

fix your hair
and stand right there
get a little closer
and smile real big
after each click
move a little bit 
after each click
move a little bit
(2x)

family photos
family photos on a Saturday 
in the rain, oh no

do we look pretty?
do we look pretty?
in our sweaters in the fall.

Fall and bump your head on the
corner of a vanity

I cought you by the shirt, barely

you give your dad a heart attack
you give your dad a heart attack
