Ohh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say

How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong

Storm in the morning light
I feel
No more can I say
Frozen to myself

I got nobody on my side
And surely that ain't right
Surely that ain't right

Ohh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say

How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong

How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong

Ohh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say

How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong

Portishead - Roads (Cover by The Anthropophobia Project)

Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I try to reach for you but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love? I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me, S.O.S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S.

When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try, how can I carry on?

You seemed so far away, though you were standing near
You made me feel alive but something died, I fear
I really tried to make it up, I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me, S.O.S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S.

When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try, how can I carry on?

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me, S.O.S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S.

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me, S.O.S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S.

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me, S.O.S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S.

When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try, how can I carry on?
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try, how can I carry on?

ABBA - SOS (Cover by The Anthropophobia Project)

Coming Back To Life

Numb

How can I honestly say that I'm always wrong?
'Cause that's impossible
Oh
Why do I always think so badly about myself?
What's wrong with me?
Oh, there I go again

Oh, I know that could never happen
To be so awful all of the time
But somehow I always put the blame on me
Somehow it's always my fault
Oh, there I go again

What's Wrong With Me?

The Undertow (feat. Wojo)

Baby, I've been waiting
I've been waiting night and day
I didn't see the time
And I waited half my life away
There were lots of invitations
And I know you sent me some
But I was waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

I know you really loved me
But, you see, my hands were tied
And I know it must have hurt you
It must have hurt your pride
To have to stand beneath my window
With your bugle and your drum
And me I'm up there waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

I don't believe you'd like it
You wouldn't like it here
There ain't no entertainment
And the judgments are severe
The Maestro says it's Mozart
But it sounds like bubble gum
When you're waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Leonard Cohen - Waiting For The Miracle (Cover by The Anthropophobia Project)

Baby's on fire
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing
Like a heifer to the slaughter

Baby's on fire
And all the laughing boys are bitching
Waiting for photos
Oh the plot is so bewitching

Rescuers row, row
Do your best to change the subject
Blow the wind blow, blow
Lend some assistance to the object

Photographers snip snap
Take your time, she's only burning
This kind of experience
Is necessary for her learning

If you'll be my flotsam
I could be half the man I used to
They said, "You were hot stuff
And that's what baby's been reduced to”

Juanita and Juan
Very clever with maracas
Makin' their fortunes
Selling second-hand tobaccos

Juan dances at Chico's
And when the clients are evicted
He empties the ashtrays
And pockets all that he's collected

But baby's on fire
And all the instruments agree that
Her temperature's rising
But any idiot would know that

I am mending my heart for you
I am mending my heart

I don't care if your heart is split in two
You know I'll always, always be there for you

I am mending my heart for you
I am mending my heart
(I don't care if your heart is split in two)
(You know I'll always, always be there for you)

I don't care if your heart is split in two
You know I'll always, always be there for you

Mending My Heart (feat. crsa)

Daughter of the echo
Hills with sheepskin clothing
Hiding certain mortal thrills

Newly mystic virgin
Rose about to sing and dance
Among the grass and grow

Sister of the lotus crown
The waters made you soft
In nature's glowing gown

Spirit swan with open wings
Is free for love
And foaming spray of beauty sings

Lady of the shining flame
Thy altar burns
In glory of your mighty name

Solar hunk of blazing gold
Is waifting bearing want of fire
Truth untold

Princess of the rushing wind
Cry, smoke is swirling
Clouds are lifting from within

Angel who is solely mine
Awaits the shine
Of bleeding light
And life divine

What Can I Do? (To Fill The Void)

Hi. I'm back. Good to see you again.
Here is a teaser of what is to come.

Original song "A Warm Place" by Nine Inch Nails

A Warm Determined Place

Wait until I fall asleep with you
Until I am dreaming next to you
Waterfalls are flowing through my heart
And you
Lie awake and stare to the moon
What will be left of this when the morning comes?
You’ll be ready to sleep and I will start to sing

Why did I wait so long
To show you my heart and let you know you belong?
I know I’ve done this before
But this time I’ll show you that I won’t anymore

How did I live like that for so long?
I told myself it was right, but I was wrong
I know now that my thoughts were misconstrued
I know now that my heart was made for you

Why did I wait so long
To show you my heart and let you know you belong?
I know I’ve done this before
But this time I’ll show you that I won’t anymore

Why did I wait so long
To show you my heart and let you know you belong?
I’ve made mistakes and I’ve ran away from my heart
But all of this led me to you
And now I am strong

My Heart (August 2023)

New Album "Gratitude" out September 25th!

Thanks For Sticking Around

Hearing all these voices in my head
Sometimes it felt like
I’d only be safe if I was dead
Now I know my name
Which is so much better than
Being engulfed in flame

Living Life
Making Time
Smiling

Engulfed In Flame

The Happiest Man On Earth

The Golden Rule

Ich Danke Dir

Lyrics:
If the sun refused to shine 
I don't mind 
I don't mind 

I got my own world to live through 
and I aint gunna copy you 

If the sun refused to shine 
I don't mind 
I don't mind 

Now if 6 turned out to be 9 
I don't mind 
I don't mind

You shatter me
Your grip on me
A hold on me so dull it kills
You stifle me
Infectious sense of hopelessness and Prayers for Rain
I suffocate
I breathe in dirt
And nowhere shines but desolate
And drab the hours all spent on killing time again
All waiting for the rain

You fracture me
Your hands on me
A touch so plain, so stale it kills
You strangle me
Entangle me in hopelessness and Prayers for Rain
I deteriorate
I live in dirt
And nowhere glows but drearily
And tired the hours all spent on killing time again
All waiting for the rain

You fracture me
Your hands on me
A touch so plain, so stale it kills
You strangle me
Entangle me in hopelessness and Prayers for Rain
Prayers for Rain
Prayers for Rain
Prayers for Rain

The Cure - Prayers For Rain (Cover by The Anthropophobia Project)

Don't think sorry is easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give anymore
Don't ask me, that's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows what you're thinking

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me, the sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see anymore
To know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusion behind
Don't cry I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
'Cause I ain't gonna live anymore
Believing some of the lies
While all of the signs are deceiving

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see anymore
To know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see anymore
To know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind

So... I wasn't sure what to say about this one. It's about social phobias, isolating, things of that nature. Not going to lie... I was feeling pretty glum when I wrote it, but the difference between now and a couple years ago is that I'm not wallowing in it. The negative feelings have passed and I'm feeling happy now. It's taken a lot for me to be able to do that. So I guess I just want you to know that if you ever need to talk because you're feeling glum, feel free to reach out. I know what it's like to want to hide. Things get better though. They do.


I avoid the sun
And I avoid the moon
I can't be myself around you

I avoid the sun
And I avoid the moon
I can't be myself around you

Why is it that I only find peace in my mind?
I don't understand why I can't be me all of the time
I wonder why you all are unsafe in my mind
Now I only hide In My Room where I am fine

I am alive
In My Room

I avoid the sun
And I avoid the moon
I can't be myself around you

I avoid the sun
And I avoid the moon
I can't be myself around you

Every single time I try I am beat down from the lies
The only ones I can trust I can't see but not 'cause I'm blind
My familiar friends are here with me safe in my room
It will take a lot for you to be here beside me too

I am alive
In My Room

I am alive
In My Room

I avoid the sun
And I avoid the moon
I can't be myself around you

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings

Something in the way

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole

Fade out again
Fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love

Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out)

In city shoes
Of clueless blues
Pays the views
And no-mans news
Blades will fade from blood to sport
The heroin's cut these fuses short
Smokers rode a colonial pig
Drink and frame this pain I think
I'm melting silver poles my dear
You bleed your wings and then disappear
The moving scenes and pilot lights
Smithereens have got 'em scaling heights
Modern times come talk me down
And battle lines are drawn across this town
Parisian boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Talk 'em down cause it's up in flames
And nothing's changed
Parisian boys without your names
Riot like 1968 again
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
Well pretty flames
In school I would just bite my tongue
And now your words they strike me down
The flags are false and they contradict
They point and click which wounds to lick
On avenues this Christian breeze
Turns its heart to more needles please
Our eyes roll back and we beg for more
It frays this skin and then underscore
The case for war you spin and bleed
The sales you feel screensavers feed
The girls you breed the soaps that you write
The graceless charm of your gutter snipes
The moving scenes and suburbanites
And smithereens got 'em scaling heights
Modern times come talk me down
The battle lines are drawn across this town
English boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Hearts and minds and U.S. planes
Nothing's changed
And English boys without your names
Riot like the 1980's again
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
More pretty flames

I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see my reflection

It's always best when the light is off
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
You know we're friends till we die

And either way you turn
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there
Climbing up the walls

It's always best when the light is off
It's always better on the outside
Fifteen blows to the back of your head
Fifteen blows to your mind

So lock the kids up safe tonight
Shut the eyes in the cupboard
I've got the smell of a local man
Who's got the loneliest feeling

That either way he turns
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there

Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls

Please keep in mind that this is NOT the original.  Just my take on a classic.

Lyrics:
When your day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life, well hang on

Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
Everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along

When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (hold on)
If you think you've had too much
Of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts

Don't throw your hand, oh no
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
Everybody hurts, sometimes

And everybody hurts sometimes
So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on

Everybody hurts
