This is the second song Mwayi and myself wrote, with a little help from the Trisektor Project, coming to SoundCloud soon!

Run Away

I was a street musician for a couple of years, longer ago than I care to specify ;) As a busker, playing hide-and-seek with the Law was part of the game. And when you got busted…

Game For Dimes

Do you recall when you lost your mind,
When you misplaced your voice within the silence,
Where the fear suppressed your nerve to fight,
Where you casually succumbed to mental violence ?

Do you remember where you left those polished shoes
When you were free to chose to run, walk or creep ?
Did you forget that you still have that path to choose
When they clicked their fingers and told you to sleep ?

They told you to sleep

Come back into the room
Come back into the room
Come back into the room
We need you

Come back into the room
Come back into the room
Come back into the room
We need you

Come back into the room
Come back into the room
Come back into the room
We need you

Come back into the room
Come back into the room
Come back into the room

Do you recall when you lost your mind
And why the fear masked your nerve to fight ?

Back In The Room

by projectGhostRadio - 

Look on the bright side /
Someone reads the letters that you send / 
Honin' your profile / 
You want that plastic eye to be your friend / 

Look on the bright side / 
Every little thing you say is being heard / 
Feeding the file / 
Recording every bit of every word / 

In your very home / 
Ain't it good to know you're not alone / 


When you waste an hour / 
Flippin' through the channels on TV / 
Singin' in the shower / 
Then a beer or else a cup of tea / 

Do they know, can they tell / 
Can they hear, can they smell / 


There's a crumb for every step of every trail / 
You've been notified your life is up for sale / 

But look on the bright side / 
Now you know you'll never be alone / 


Cruisin' on the highway / 
Your wheels know just where you want to go / 
Ridin' in the subway / 
With the other extras on the show / 

Do they know, can they tell / 
What you think, how you smell / 


There's a tag for every name and every face / 
Until every little soldier is in place / 

There's a crumb for every step of every trail / 
You've been notified your life is up for sale / 

But look on the bright side / 
Now you know you'll never be alone

I dunno how much more I can take
This media that feeds us must be constipated
'cause they're full of shit
Every word that they spew is just lie after lie
And it's brainwashing you
Into mindless foot soldiers
To help them control us
To force us to do shit
They know ain't good for us
Turn you against us, the ones that you love
If you open your eyes you'll see your sisters and brothers, come on

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line

I'm trying but it's getting so grim man
Each day I'm getting closer to just pulling the pin
And I don't like this person that's hiding within me
He's the person that I've spent my whole life trying to not be
I don't wanna hate, I was brought up to love
I'm tryna stay true, but I'm feeling the shove
But I won't let them break me 'cause I owe it to you
To stay strong for us both until you see it too, now come on

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line

They're tryna break us down
To divide us is the only hope they have
They're tryna break us down
All we need to do is pull together and we win

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line

HOLD THE LINE (The Wink Remix)

Hold The Line (The wink Mix) - The Turtle Project

Oh, stop staring at he sun
It's blinding everyone
Turn towards the shade
And you might see what's going on
Adjust your focal lens
Engage your common sense
When you find reality
Be sure to share it with your friends

It's us not them

You're not the one to blame
They've played a blinding game
But now they've overplayed their hand
There's desperation in their pace
Let them know you know
Find your stolen voice
Don't ever let them think they
Have the power to take away your choice

It's us not them

It's us not them

Don't forget this my friend

It's us not them

Don't forget this my friend

It's us not them

Don't ever forget this my friend

Us Not Them

Last Day

I start out so many days
Just like I'm ready for winding down
I shout out in fits of rage
Just as I'm chilling out
I got loose change falling out my pocket
I feel strange tonight
I can't walk straight, I've lost my balance
Now I'm taking flight

And I'm upside down
I'm the wrong way around
I'm upside down again

I've got throbbing veins
Tryna keep up with the rush of blood to my head
I've got muscle strains
Every morning as I wake up in bed

'Cause I'm upside down
I'm the wrong way around
I'm upside down again

'Cause I'm upside down
I'm the wrong way around
I'm upside down again

Hold The Line - The Turtle Project (wink's karaoke mix)

Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:
I made a deal with her.
she is the universe.
give me just this one thing.
I'll crawl out of my hole.
And let you in my soul. 
Forget I am nothing. 
So please.
Let me see.
well beyond me.
into thy naked eye.
Please
let me feel.
something unreal.
before I up and die. 

You are song and light.
You are an endless night.
It all seems so magic. 
But everything you touch.
returns to you in dust.
It all seems so tragic. 

Thanks to Jonathan Beckenstein for the excellent advice.

thy naked eye

Fortunate lie

I'm done fighting
I'm done hiding
I'm done tryna find a way to evolve

I'm done screaming
I'm done shouting
I'm done with all this clowning around with my soul

I need a break from all of this
This constant ever growing mess
The piles of lies, their thin disguise
That fail to open sleeping eyes
I've banged my head against the wall
For longer than feels comfortable
So I drink until I lose my mind
Shut up shop, just for tonight

I'm done thinking
I'm done sinking
I'm done winking at my kindred friends

I'm done frowning
I'm done drowning
I'm dumbfounded, how the fuck does this end?

Will it ever end?

I need a break from all of this
This constant ever growing mess
The piles of lies, their thin disguise
That fail to open sleeping eyes
I've banged my head against the wall
For longer than feels comfortable
So I drink until I lose my mind
Shut up shop, just for tonight

Just for tonight

Just for tonight

Once your eyes are open wide
There's no escape nowhere to hide
No going back, no matter how you try
There was no red, there was no blue
Destiny planned this for you
It's always been , think back, you know it's true

I'm done fighting
I'm done hiding
I'm done tryna find a way to evolve

I'm done screaming
I'm done shouting
I'm done with all this clowning around with my soul

But I just can't let it go

Shut Up Shop

Lyrics based on a Katie Wilson Poem.
Music/vocals by Davy Vance.
Vocals Amanda Sanderson  https://soundcloud.com/phoebeelena/tracks

 Katie's verse is a cry from the heart to let people be what they are,rather than fit what someone views as 'normal'. Let's just live our lives and not force anyone to lie,to be desperately unhappy,just to 'fit in'.

I know you don't understand
Don't make me lie
I'm tearing out my soul
Howling at the sky

I can't hide no more
Don't make me lie
Take me to a better day
Before I die

Please,please,don't make me lie
Please,please,don't make me lie

I'm not a man no more
Don't make me lie
I want everyone to know
I don't wanna hide

Please,please,don't make me lie
Please,please,don't make me lie......

'Don't Make Me Lie' with Amanda Sanderson(feat lyrics inspired by Katie Wilson)

Text You Back

featuring @4catsncoffee on violin
:
Sometimes it takes courage to forget your past and just run... 
ely sky is a guitar-based alternative folk tune with southern gothic echoes. The second tune off the d'ville EP >soundcloud.com/jh0st/sets/dville
:
--------------------lyrics

Never enough to know
that fireworks don't always explode
40 days have passed us by
Left smoldering glowing skies

no one knows your early story...

Blessed be the creaking stair
warning you of all that you fear
Heavy breath and humid air  
that swallows angels' dusty prayers

No one knows your early story…
heard it through the open window
whispers in the form of curses

Floating on the Ely Sky
Beneath our backs dark water flows
Million stars and northern lights
witness your secret undertow 

No one knows your early story…
heard it through the broken window
whispers in the form of curses

…already gone 

Will you promise me just this:
steal the dollars hidden under

First you walk and then you run
turn to dust your father figure

Steal away on the midnight bus
connect the dots across the water

Save yourself and only you
One last eye to the Ely Sky…

d'ville

For the lockdown challenge by Guy Michelmore

Mountain Mist (lockdown Challenge) By The Turtle Project

"The Turtle Project" started out as exactly that, a project, a songwriting project that was born from years of being a musician in many bands, doing countless gigs, naturally gathering experience and inspiration until, one day, I stumbled upon the fact that I could actually put those experiences and many others into words. The composing aspect grew from that into what it is today ...
My way of life .
