Lyrics -

I wish that I could take away 
Those worries on your mind 
And maybe restore that old confidence 
You used to wear with pride 
But I guess they really got to you 
With all their sickening lies, 
When the smoke screen fizzled out 
And you could see through their disguise 
All your dreams have lost their meaning 
And you question should you trash them and move on 
And you look to me for answers 
And I try my best to find them 
But as soon as I get a glimpse of hope they’re gone 

The smoke was lifted long ago for me 
And I’ve been trying to justify it all for years 
Through these gritted teeth and tears 
And for so long I was confused, 
I’d hide away in drug infused illusions 
Which to me, became reality 
My dreams they had a meaning 
But I didn’t have the focus to see them through 
But it’s hard to keep your mind clear 
When a clear mind sees everything they do

Through The Smoke

Smoke

"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 .

Me, myself, and I, have a band that plays in the garage with a microphone on a cardboard box. Words and songs echo. Enjoy and share.

Inspired by the early nineties music of Brad, Satchel, Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, Slint and Stone Temple Pilots - to name a few - plus the soulful voice of the massively underrated, and much missed, Shawn Smith. 

Rocking and rolling with an independent spirit. Keep on keeping on.
