The Blindman Knows

Calloused fingers bleed
Sweat stings my eyes
That damn pick
Always flies

Plectrum woes
Yeah plectrum woes
Where it goes
Nobody knows

I decided to take another stab at this song (went down a rabbit hole for about 10 hours and completely re-played and re-sang the song).  I struggled with the vocals on my original version so I changed the key to E which made it easier to sing.

Lyrics
In the planet of the ape’s movie in 1968
Astronauts crash landed on a planet that was in a sorry state
They stumbled across a society intelligent of apes who could speak
And there were humans, but they were mute and weak
They’d been asleep in their hibernation pods and 2006 years had elapsed
And somewhere during that time humanity had collapsed
And the astronauts didn’t realize they were on the planet where they’d been born as the apes hunted them and they hid in a field of corn
Just like Charlton Heston, we could be walking on that beach
To late to save our Lady Liberty, she’s been toppled sunk and breached
You maniacs you blew it up will we rant and rave like Chuck
Hope it’s not too late, who wants that monkey fate, hope we smarten up
I wonder what those apes are thinking as they’re sitting in their cages at the zoo
Are they biding their time, making plans for what they’re goanna do
Are they dreaming of the day when they’re on the other side of that glass wall
Are they patiently counting the minutes, waiting for humanities downfall
The apes killed one of the astronauts and they stuffed him and put him on display j
Just like trophy hunters do with animals today
The Astronaut named Taylor, he got shot in the throat
He was unable to talk, so he got a pen and showed the apes what he wrote
The apes realized he was intelligent, and it shook them to their core
And the forbidden zone was a place they weren’t supposed to explore
Taylor met a girl he named Nova, she couldn’t talk but she was pretty.
A couple of apes helped them escape to what used to be New York city
And they rode together on a horse on a beach that looked like the west coast
Until they found that statue and realized humanity was toast
Just like Charlton Heston, we could be walking on that beach
To late to save our Lady Liberty, she’s been toppled sunk and breached
You maniacs you blew it up will we rant and rave like Chuck
Hope it’s not too late, who wants that Monkey Fate, hope we smarten up
The planet of the ape’s is supposed to be science fiction
Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out to be an accurate depiction

Planet Of The Apes V 2.0

Cards are flying in the smoky air
Shadows dancing but nobody cares
The table's hot
The stakes are cold
The stories whispered are as good as gold
[Prechorus] Eyes like daggers
Hearts on fire
Who’s the liar
Who’s the buyer
[Chorus] Aces high
Let 'em fly
All or nothing
Do or die
Aces high
Feel the rush
The room goes silent
Then the crush

Aces high .mp3

Stytz Syndiicate    Album  "Best Before"
Music :    Stytz
Lyrics :    Pee Gee / Harriman

Don´t Keep Me Waiting

My life is so empty without you
After all the years we´ve been through
Long ago when we first met
You caught me in your net
Do it again!

My body yearns with desire
My bleeding heart burns like fire
The moment you made eyes at me
You blew my mind entirely
Do it again... Don´t play for time
I´ll be there if you change your mind

Baby, Baby...Don´t Keep Me Waiting
Sorry if I´ve done you wrong
Baby, Baby... Don´t Keep Me Waiting
My love is still so strong

My nights are long and lonely
I´m waiting for my one and only
I´m in need of your kiss
And I´m dying for your caress
Do it again..throw me a line
I´ll be there if you change your mind

Baby, Baby... Don´t Keep Me Waiting
Sorry if I´ve done you wrong
Baby, Baby...Don´t Keep Me Waiting
My love is still so strong

Baby, Baby...Don´t Keep Me Waiting..........................

Don't Keep Me Waiting

This song is about the strength it takes to resist the urge to fight back when someone wrongs you. It’s about the quiet kind of power — the kind that doesn’t need shouting, revenge, or public battles to prove itself. Instead, it lives in choosing peace over chaos, dignity over drama, and knowing that silence can shake walls louder than any noise. 

“The Secret Revolution” is my way of saying that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is walk away, protect your energy, and move forward without letting anyone drag you down. It’s a reminder that the most powerful rebellions aren’t always seen — they’re felt, carried in the choices we make every day, and in the strength of refusing to let negativity define us. 

It’s about turning hurt into resilience, and finding victory in the decision to rise above.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I don’t raise my voice, I don’t light a fire
But I carry a truth they can’t put on a wire
They think silence means surrender, that stillness means defeat
But the loudest kind of thunder is the one you never see 

[Pre-Chorus]
Every step, every breath, is a line they can’t erase
I’m a shadow in the daylight, moving through their maze 

[Chorus]
This is the secret revolution
Where the quiet ones refuse to fall
I don’t need a crown or constitution
To know my whisper shakes their walls
This is the secret revolution
The kind you’ll never see in flame
But every heart that dares to listen
Will never bow the same 

[Verse 2]
They built their towers high, but the cracks run deep
I plant seeds in the silence where their soldiers sleep
No banners, no anthems, just a vow inside my chest
To outlast every empire with the patience of unrest 

[Pre-Chorus]
Every step, every breath, is a line they can’t erase
I’m a shadow in the daylight, moving through their maze 

[Chorus]
This is the secret revolution
Where the quiet ones refuse to fall
I don’t need a crown or constitution
To know my whisper shakes their walls
This is the secret revolution
The kind you’ll never see in flame
But every heart that dares to listen
Will never bow the same 

[Verse 3]
They’ll never write my story in their history books
But the truth is in the silence if you know where to look
Every small refusal, every choice they can’t command
Is a war already won in the palm of my hand 

[Bridge]
I don’t need their spotlight, I don’t need their stage
I’ve got a freedom they can’t cage
Let them rule the surface, let them wear the crown
It’s the ones beneath who’ll bring it down 

[Chorus]
This is the secret revolution
Where the quiet ones refuse to fall
I don’t need a crown or constitution
To know my whisper shakes their walls
This is the secret revolution
The kind you’ll never see in flame
But every heart that dares to listen
Will never bow the same 

[Chorus]
This is the secret revolution
The kind you’ll never see in flame
But every heart that dares to listen
Will never bow the same 

[Outro]
So let them think the silence means they’ve won the fight
The secret revolution always grows in the night

The Secret Revolution
