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

Upside Down

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

Festive Delights

Back in the day they touted fuck the police
But now we need them right beside us shouting fuck the elites
It's raining red pills out here on these streets
So as you learn these vital messages, sit tight in ya seats
So many lies so many dark fuelled trends
To keep the blind eyes smiling back at the lens
keep the truth bombs bouncing of your defence
Coz you're to fucking stupid to see common sense

They don't want us seeing behind the curtain
So what better distraction than to keep us all hurting
Look around you'll see the sheep dog circling ya
Keeping ya nervous, on edge and uncertain
When in ya life did you see so much fear speed through the
Media than you've seen this last couple of years
Everything is a crisis, everything's getting worse
Every penny is evaporating out of your purse
Every shoulder is looked over every waking minute
Coz you can't trust anybody everyone's full of shit
I Don't even know if all of my friends still exist
Coz I ain't heard nothing from them since the start of all this

(It's fucked up)

I know it's cosy and warm in that fleece
And once you wake up there'll be no more sleeping
So I can't blame ya for not listening to me
It's just my last ditch attempt to help the blind to see that


Unity matters
All creed all colours
We're all sisters and brothers
Played against each other

(Wake the fuck up)

Unity matters
Pull ya head from the covers
We're all sisters and brothers
Conditioned to hate each other

(Wake the fuck up)


You think your free but you're a slave to the system
Ever since you been born you've been whipped and down beaten
Rules and regulations to stop ya free thinking
Pretty colours on your screen keep ya chewing and blinking
Your as free they designed you to be
Ya see the visions they allow you to see
But if you love your strings the puppet is free
That's from a quote look it up, don't credit me

I know it's cosy and warm in that fleece
And once you wake up there'll be no more sleeping
So I can't blame ya for not listening to me
It's just my last ditch attempt to help the blind to see that

Unity matters
All creed all colours
We're all sisters and brothers
Played against each other

(Wake the fuck up)
Unity matters
Pull ya head from the covers
We're all sisters and brothers
Conditioned to hate each other

(Wake the fuck up)


Together we are strong
And this is what they fear
They've divided all along
Look back through the years
Together we are one
Peace will find us here
Where no one is alone
No one lives in fear

(Wake the fuck up)

Unity matters
All creed all colours
We're all sisters and brothers
Played against each other

(Wake the fuck up)

Your voices matter
Pull ya head from the covers
We're all sisters and brothers
Instead of hating each other

(Wake the fuck up)

Unity Matters (WTFU)

Pillow

I fended off those fears
From burrowing into my brain for far to long
And I cried a thousand tears internally
Dissolving all that felt wrong

I filtered out all the shit
Just precious moments remain
These precious moments are
The only thing that's keeping me sane

As I trace back through all those years
I can't remember the last time I was the real me
I wasted to much time
pretending to be someone I don't even wanna be

I turned my back on that shit
Just precious moments remain
These precious moments are
The only thing that's keeping me sane

Ba da ba da ba dow dow

Precious Moments

Call me a loser yeah
Well that don't bother me
I've been the punch bag
Youngest in my family
And what did that achieve
Just had me growing up strong

So take your stab at me
Be sure to laugh at me
And kid yourself that I'm
A victim of conspiracy
Well you're just feeding me
With the words to this song

So make fun of me
Make fun of me
Make everybody wanna run away from me
I can take it on the chin
Better than anyone I've ever known

You call me crazy well
That's pretty lazy hey ?
That's not the kind of word
That's ever gonna save me now
Ain't that what you want,
To convert me to your norm?

Call me delusional
Well I know that about me
'Cause I'm a dreamer
Kind of goes with the territory
But I can meditate
Within the eye of a storm

So make fun of me
Make fun of me
Make everybody wanna run away from me
I can take it on the chin
Better than anyone I've ever known

So make fun of me
Make fun of me
Don't be satisfied 'til everybody's done with me
I can take it I won't bite
Not tonight
Don't waste your time on me
Don't waste your time on me

You might be waiting 'til the end of time
You could be waiting 'til the end of time
You may be waiting 'til the end of time
Ahh ahh ahh ahh

You might be waiting 'til the end of time
You may be waiting 'til the end of time
Do you have 'til the end of time?
Ahh ahh ahh ahh

Make Fun Of Me

Out of my mind

I was out of my mind

Crawling the floors
Clawing the walls
Smiling out from an empty shell
Closing the doors
Embracing the falls
Tied up in a personal hell

My heart kept on thumping
My blood kept on flowing
My pulse kept on throbbing
And all the while no one knowing
I was out of my mind

Curl up in bed
Bury my head
Style it out while I hide my face
So much to say
But nothing was said
While all those thoughts went to waste

My heart kept on thumping
My blood kept on flowing
My pulse kept on throbbing
And all the while no one knowing
I was out of my mind

My heart kept on thumping
My blood kept on flowing
My pulse kept on throbbing
And all the while no one knowing
I was out of my mind

I was out of my mind

Thumping

The Zone

"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 .
