WTFU

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

Space Ark

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

~:~:~   HEAR ME   ~:~:~

Where were you when the sun went down
When I stood all alone and I stared at the ground ?
Where were you when the sun came up
When the red sky warned of the rain to come ?
~:~:~
Hear me now - I think of you
As the day shuts down 
And in the morning too
Each and every day these eyes
Long to see you one last time
~:~:~
Where were you when the flowers bloomed
When I sat on my own in my quiet room ?
Where were you in the humid night
When the stars broke through the deep blue sky ?
~:~:~
Hear me now - I think of you
As the day shuts down
And in the morning too
Each and every day these eyes
Long to see you one last time
~:~:~
Where were you when the leaves blew wild
When I needed you there to be my guide ?
And where did I go on that grey dark day
When I knew I would never see you again ?

Hear me now - I think of you.

Hear Me

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

Imagine a video-drone flying by free, blossoming, restored Ukraine. Soon.
Представьте видео-дрон, летящий над свободной, цветущей, возрождаемой Украиной. Скоро.
Уявіть відео-дрон, що летить над вільною, квітучою Україною, що відроджується. Незабаром.

Lately loving play Atruria Oberheim rendition OB-Xa VST, lead sound in verses 2, 3. Backed by Buchla Easel embellishments and Pigments synthlines. Main ballsy bassline is by ANA2, subbass is MiniMoog. Played with Push 2 Ableton Live 11, mastered with UAD, IK, and FabFilters. The cover art made with PhotoLeap app on iPhone. For the future Analogue album. ☮

The Dial

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

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)

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

U Wanna Dance

David

LYRICS:
"Plastic hearts and thimble heads all wrapped up with rubber bands
hunted by toy buffalo kings, bad dreams poison everything
shoot their arrows - pop their guns;
you lose yourself in ghost radio. In a signal made of smoke.

Our feet are lost in the willow trees. Sound alarms. Frost bite comes to eat
You shove em out in the quaking light, their shining breasts bend the light
in velvet crumbs they die and tower, where all the hours go.

They say they love you but only they need, like hummingbirds come to feed;
boys and girls on mounting pins, under a glass in a dusty bin; with worn limbs tattered at their seams, 
on empty beds, unbuttoned eyes and heads;
would you look at all the mess!
Don’t recognize them. Melted and burned, by the wrath of ray gun baby feels.
Mouth glum. Hearts of power. Warm to the bone, the bandages on fingertips hold the little ones 
hold the hands that shake!


Crooked eyed queens and fat little kings. Sucking on flowers. Fucking on dreams. Their nibs and stoles on pillow trees, drinking of reek and smoking bees. And I'm afraid their apple brains had all grown roots, unglued the stars from their beds, knotted limbs from wooden heads "

Starlight raining over me
Like drifting through a memory
Wake up in your crystal sky
We're floating to just to feel alive

Starlight raining over me
Like drifting through a memory
Wake up in your crystal sky
We're floating till we fly 

We're slowly falling through the night
Illuminating coastlines
Headlights toward the afterline
Bright enough to shine

Colors fade into the waves
Swimming through reality
I see your eyes above it all
I can hear you call

Starlight raining over me
Like drifting through a memory
Wake up in your crystal sky
We're floating till we fly

Starlight (feat. Mr Gabriel)

Hey friends / I started a new band / I watch their eyes roll / I watch their eyes roll / Caitie says / "What does it sounds like?" 
and I say / "It's hard to explain but kinda like Radiohead / but it's different."/ 

and she says / "Make sure you let me know / if there's an early show"/ I will / I will 

Hey team / I'm releasing a new song / they say there's no wrong way / except that way / Brendan says / "We need a release plan. It's gotta be so cutting edge, uh, something like Radiohead's . . . / but different." / 

and he says / "Don't you go and be silly / and put that shit out for free." / I will, / I will

from the EP "Blocking Out The Silence"
https://theturtleproject1.bandcamp.com/album/blocking-out-the-silence

Lyrics -

She loves autumn leaves, how they fall from the trees
Dandelion seeds, how they blow on the breeze
She loves ponds, lakes, rivers and streams
Cold winter mist blowing in from the sea
She loves sparrows and robins when they visit the garden
Tulips and lilies, white roses and lavender
The fragrance and beauty go straight to the heart of her
That’s why I love her but best of all

She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah

She loves butterflies and bumble bees, cute floppy eared bunnies
Long Sunday walks under a canopy of trees
She loves the smiles on the faces of the people that she meets
And that’s why I love her but best of all

She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah

She love peaceful music, the sounds of the ocean
Details in nature provoke her emotions like
Dewdrops on a blade of grass, clouds in the sky
Framed by a rainbow, but best of all
She loves my hand in her hand, cuddles in my arms
Wearing my jumpers, the beat of my heart
She has to beat me at everything, now don’t get me started, ha
That’s why I love her but best of all

She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah
She loves me, yeah

She Loves

Another track from my new album , hope you enjoy :)

There's a small and misty dark room
In the corner of my mind
Sometimes this is where my rationality will hide
From the demons that I’ve always feared to fight

There's a hard and heavy weight
That hovers just above my chest
Sometimes it will clamp its self down tighter than my vest
Whenever darkness puts me to the test

But fear is nothing but a bump in the road
You either let it stop you or you
Plough right through and learn to let it go
Once you face then you’ll wonder why you feared it all along

There's an ever-knowing wise man
Still learning from his books
Sometimes he will raise his eyes, to give a certain look
When he disapproves of certain roads I've took

But mistakes are nothing but a bump in the road
You either let them stop you or you
Plough right through and learn to let them go
Once you’ve learned from them, you’ll wonder why you made them all along

Cause you can do anything you put your mind to
As long as you believe it then it’s true
And there are no dreams that are impossible to reach
Once you’ve opened up your heart and let them in

There's a little childlike quiver
That’s been hiding in my throat
Sometimes it will ponce just as I'm reaching for that note
That one that I can never seem to hold

But limits are nothing but a bump in the road
You either let them stop you or you
Or you plough right through and learn to let them go
Once you break them down, you’ll wonder why you set them all along

Remember you are strong

Bump In The Road

Lyrics:

Hey, here we are again
Ah it’s been so long
Forgotten how you smell like roses

Hello Darkness, old friend
Here you are in my head or are you by my bed?

Hey I hear voices
I feel them in my bones
They’re singing about all my loneliness

Hey I know what this is
It’s myself talking to my self about myself
It’s myself talking to my self about myself
It’s myself talking to my self about myself

Ooooooh

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 .
