Original song "The Maker". Using a three part harmony and main vocal line. Thanks for listening, and hope you enjoy.

Lyrics...

A silhouette at the dawn
A spider's web and all the flies he's caught 
The cracks are creeping up the city walls
Collapsing in the quiet streets we sought

If not the maker, what am I for?
If not your steady climb, am I the fall?
I won’t forgive you what you promised me 

If you could give me life eternal
Then I would take it, and hold it
And cry out at the fury of the dark
You would find me amongst the stars
Playing with the satellites
Laying with them side by side
And if you forgive me, I swear I’ll make it right
Or if you forget everything I am it’s fine

If not the maker, what am I for?
If not your steady climb, am I the fall?
I won’t forgive you what you promised me
And you promised me the world
And I can’t find it on my own
No, I can’t find it on my own

The Maker

Playing around with different styles and production elements. Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics...

Jesus in the corner lights another smoke
Tears apart the picture of the girl he can’t let go
Jesus by the jukebox pissing in the bin
Says they’ll never see the like or make of him again
And the lord he knows I steel my heart for the company I keep
But unlike all these holy soldiers, I refuse to bleed

And my eyes fall sweetly
On the boy who took my hand
He’ll rise up to greet me
As if by my command

Jesus comes like fury, says “What’s your fucking beef?”
You know I got a piece of you, do you want a piece of me?

But I won’t fight, I’m content with my lies
I’ll take your punishment, eat the body of Christ
And when you cast me down, cast me into the fires
Will I finally know relief?

And my eyes fall sweetly
On the boy who took my hand
But my will up and leaves me
As if by my command

Jesus says my angel got lost on the way home
Says I’ll have to go at it, go at it alone
But it’s alright
Yeah, that’ll do just fine
I got Jesus in my corner
I got Jesus on my side

Jesus in the Corner

A revision of a previous track, now with lyrics (as originally intended). Please enjoy, and thanks for listening!

Lyrics...

My words are tired and few
I beg your sadness is gentle on you
My love, my sorrow, it's all I have
But you are with me, you keep my path

We rise and fall and the wave is formed
We walk in fire, you reach for the shore
Now it's too late, I threw it all away
But you are with me to the end of it all

We rise...

Ascending (reprise)

Original song "The Science of Sleep". Needs a bit more work on the mixing/mastering, but thanks for listening!

Lyrics...

I slept in late, and I missed my train
It pulled away from the station
I cursed my name, and I cursed yours too
Why couldn’t it wait for me? 
Why couldn’t you?

I’m tired of waking in too many minds to know
Don't tell me to wait here
Laughing as you go

Now it’s violence I seek, but this body is weak
The science of sleep is lost on me

I know what you are
The chemicals in my head
And you pull me to pieces, you tear me apart
Laughing as you go

Oh... still I lie sleeping
Holding a place for us
But I’ve been a fool for it long enough
You sing for my sorrow
Laughing as you go

The Science of Sleep

An updated version of an old song for a new EP. Hope you enjoy.

Lyrics...

I’m ready for my last dance, last rites
I’m ready to come and find you
You knew pain, now I know too
It’s more than just one can do
So, if not apart, then together

I’m ready for your love, never felt deserving of it
But I’m ready, more than ever
There’s no wind in this weakened sail
And this body’s too old and frail
But I can always make it to the end

To the light of forever
Read the last rites for me

This empty nest of bricks and stones
Is no place to rest my bones
No place at all without you
Empty chairs in empty rooms
All given in to this gloom
But I can always wait here for the end

And I won’t greet the long tomorrow
For my hour I can’t wait
Turn the soil and plant the roses
And lay them down ready at my feet

And we’ll walk outside, plain in sight
Bleary-eyed in broad daylight
I loved the world the way it used to be
I spill my blood to the farthest sea
And when I see you in my dreams
I will know I’ve made it to the end

To the light of forever
Read the last rites for me
To the light of forever

Last Rites

Demo recording of original song "Thomas".

Lyrics...

From dust you came into this life
Name writ in water in a world on fire
To speak of the dead and cry a lament
To the faces pressed to the cold cement
And the ones who made us are nowhere found
The tracks have faded on the stolen ground
In generations when the crying stops
You can gather evenings, and tell of how we

Burned all the monuments, cursed all the sacraments
They never spoke for you anyway
Stand out among the dead, find a place to lay your head
In all this madness and delusion

But don’t look back at the starting line
It’s a sudden fall on a steep decline
They’ll keep you reaching for the highest shelf
While you look for God but never yourself
And I hope you make it through the mud and mire
To the ones you seek, to your heart’s desire
When the paths you follow are covered in dust
When there’s no one waiting, you can blame us

We burned all the monuments, cast out your presidents
They never spoke for you anyway
Stand out among the dead, nowhere to lay your head
In all this madness and delusion

Don’t look back at the starting line
The places lost will live in your mind
And all your pain cries out for yesterday
But all you can ever do, is feel it

Lyrics:

I still sleep, with my disease, a fever dream
Dissipate, leave no trace, just walk away, evaporate

Tear my walls down, pull my eyes out, hear them so loud
Ghosts awakened know I’m waiting in my dream
And they’re all I see as I watch you leave
With my one eye open, one eye...

Pull me back and to the start
Put an arrow through my heart
Tear it out and watch it bleed
On the afterbirth you feed
Lover, let it be over now
Let me go, just let me out

The colour in your eyes it takes me
Into the terror of the night
Climb to places they can’t reach me

Where nothing wakes me
Where I can sleep
And I still dream
With my one eye open...

"Satellites" released on the "No More Sky" EP, 2020.

Lyrics...

I know you’re not the saviour
You’re just another lonely soul who’s gone insane
And I’m minding my own reasons
Waiting at the lights and hoping to be saved
The night and my guitar
We’ll be chasing light and hunting shooting stars
But I feel my time is wasted
If every word I write is pointed at your heart

Hear it when you speak
Hold it like the golden light, the hunger in your sleep
Feel it as you breathe
I’m a mess and soaking wet and lying in the street
It’s like walking under water, nothing’s real
It’s like walking under water, nothing’s real

I know we stumble forwards
And we are stranded on a cold and empty stage
But I’ve walked through time immortal
And I’m not going back if nothing can be changed
They march us off to war
Oh, is my silly life a line accounted for?
When the nights are cold and fated
And it’s not the same, not like before

Hear it when you speak
Hold it like the golden light, the hunger in your sleep
Feel it as you breathe
I’m a mess and soaking wet and lying in the street
It’s like walking under water, nothing’s real
It’s like walking under water, nothing’s real
It’s like satellites are following me

Satellites

"Speechless" released on the "No More Sky" EP.

Lyrics...

Whisper every word, my child, every one you dare
If you ever get the chance to speak
For none may ever stand for you, no none may ever care
And the brave world ain’t no comfort for the weak

The weight that we all carry just to put down at the end
Is swept up by the lonesome wind
At night we cry our eyes out for the hard and hollow sky
But heaven does not cry for him

When our muscles grind like stone
And all our bones creak and groan
And we’re older than the world it seems
We’ll still have one tale to tell
Of stealing pennies from this well
To trade in for another’s dreams

We’ll send our spirits flying, abandoned
Reckless in the squall we’re standing
Praying that our roots dig low
So we can stand another day to watch the seas evaporate
Or the cities buried in the winter snow

We can’t wait another day for you

When finally we awaken in the cold and vacant night
And the battle for the world’s still raging
When there’s no one still sitting pretty high up on their fences
Spitting mine’s not a mind you’ll ever change

When the manic crowd has spoken for the laws of nature broken
Grown tired of the speeches made
And in our hearts live every word that anyone could’ve ever heard
But he don’t have a thing to say

We can’t wait another day for you
