6th song for FAWM 2024, this one different from my usual styles. 
NSFW.

Electro/Rock - Thinking (demo)

7th track for FAWM, this one more of a pop-punk song.

Lyrics:
Perfect Friend

Got a dirty mind and I want you naked

I never ask for much
But I find you talking to me
You fuel that hunger
I’ve kept growing deep inside

Our eyes meet across the room
You know what I’m thinking baby
Keep it secret, tucked away
Until the daylight fades

Open the gates to paradise
It’s no surprise
You wanna let me in

I’ve got a dirty mind and I want you naked
Go on, go on, go on
It’s Friday night are we gonna make it
Stay ‘til the end
Stay ‘til the end
I’ll be the perfect friend

You say that no one knows
But I know you’ve been talking ‘bout me
I see the gazes 
From the others in our group

Your lips are mouthing dirty talk
You know that I like it baby
I wanna feel your heat again
Before the daylight dies

Open the gates to paradise
It’s no surprise
You wanna let me in

I’ve got a dirty mind and I want you naked
Go on, go on, go on
It’s Friday night are we gonna make it
Stay ‘til the end
I’ve got a dirty mind and I want you naked
Go on, go on, go on
It’s Friday night are we gonna make it
Stay ‘til the end
Stay ‘til the end
I’ll be your perfect friend

Let’s get it on
So take it off for me
I’m not that shy you see
I want you here and now

I’ve got a dirty mind and I want you naked
Go on, go on, go on
It’s Friday night are we gonna make it
Stay ‘til the end
I’ve got a dirty mind and I want you naked
Go on, go on, go on
It’s Friday night are we gonna make it
Stay ‘til the end
Stay ‘til the end
I’ll be your perfect friend

The perfect friend
Again and again
I’ll be your perfect friend
Ooh the perfect friend

Rock - Perfect Friend (demo)

8th track for FAWM, this one perhaps a bit more raw demo than the other ones so far

Lyrics
All Systems Fail

I have seen it all again 
It repeats itself in time
The future shining bright
Starlight

Reset, get ready
Make the jump now
Ignite

Reaching far 
Across the galaxy we sail
Going down in flames 
All systems fail
Reaching far 
Across the galaxy we sail
Going down in flames 
All systems fail

Like a falling star I dive
As we shatter in the sky
Oh take me back tonight
Starlight

Reset, get ready
Make the jump now
Ignite

Reaching far 
Across the galaxy we sail
Going down in flames 
All systems fail

Sing for me 
My source of wisdom
You lead the way, you got it 
Set your aim
And I will follow
Oh oh 

Reaching far 
Across the galaxy we sail
Going down in flames 
All systems fail
Reaching far 
Across the galaxy we sail
Going down in flames 
All systems fail

Rock - All Systems Fail (demo)

9th track for FAWM 2024, this one with a bit of a cold but still got the track done. Heavy rock.

Lyrics: This is Goodbye

The cold is setting in
As the embers faded
Scorched and burnt as 
The soil we walk on

There is no tomorrow
Only night and shadows
The steam of your breath
The last whiff of promise

You tore through my life
A force of nature
Nothing but ruins remain

Carry me angel
The whiskey has ended
Bury my fury
And make your amends
The water was tainted
And poisoned the seeds
Not even you can deny
That this is goodbye

Thought I could drink
Away the searing pain
But it only hides
The truth

It reappears each morning
The bleak touch of hope
Crushing the plans
Of the coming day

You tore through my life
A force of nature
Nothing but ruins remain

Carry me angel
The whiskey has ended
Bury my fury
And make your amends
The water was tainted
And poisoned the seeds
Not even you can deny
That this is goodbye

You closed the door
And locked it tight
The kiss of death
You hit the light
You left me here
Am I alone
To find myself
When you are gone 

Carry me angel
The whiskey has ended
Bury my fury
And make your amends
The water was tainted
And poisoned the seeds
Not even you can deny
That this is goodbye
When the whiskey has ended
Bury my fury
And make your amends
The water was tainted
And poisoned the seeds
Not even you can deny
That this is goodbye

Goodbye

Rock - This is Goodbye (demo)

10th track for FAWM 2024, this one inspired by retro pop.

Lyrics: Until the Break of Dawn

Party’s alright
Just blending in
Having a drink
And just hang with my friends
Then my song comes on
And I know
Oh, I have to move

I see you dancing on your own
Again

You and me
We’re shooting stars 
Tonight
Within the living light
Me and you
Oh we could get it on
So dance with me
Until the break of dawn

Yours or my place
The question’s popped
Finding it hard to resist
Here and now
We’re in the taxi
And we know
That we got to go

Now do that thing to me again
Mmm

You and me
We’re shooting stars 
Tonight
Within the living light
Me and you
Oh we could get it on
So dance with me
Until the break of dawn

We can find the rhythm together
We just gotta give it time
And round and round we go
Now hold me tight

Now find the strength for me again
Ooh 

You and me
We’re shooting stars 
Tonight
Within the living light
Me and you
Oh we could get it on
So dance with me
Until dawn
You and me
We’re shooting stars 
Tonight
Within the living light
Me and you
Oh we could get it on
So dance with me
Until the break of dawn

Retro Pop - Until the Break of Dawn (demo)

11th track for FAWM 2024. The challenge is coming to a close, so this was a "speed-written" track. Acoustic rock.

Lyrics: Now You Set Me Free

I was never good with feelings
Just head first running
Diving in
But somehow you grabbed my focus, girl
And I knew I had to win
Your heart

Look how far we’ve come
Can’t believe you’re gone 
Now

All you needed
Were my weekends
And my Tuesday nights
Forever and ever and ever
We were meant to be
Now you set me free

I wish I could turn back time
To the moment when we started
When we met
Somehow it slipped between my fingers
All that’s left is to forget
My heart

Look how far you’ve walked
Can’t believe we never talked

All you needed
Were my weekends
And my Tuesday nights
Forever and ever and ever
We were meant to be
Now you set me free

I see you on your way now
In my chest there is a fire burning

All you needed
Were my weekends
And my Tuesday nights
Forever and ever and ever
We were meant to be
Now you set me free
Set me free

Acoustic Rock - Now You Set Me Free (demo)

12th track for FAWM 2024, this one a quick write because it's the end of the challenge. Thrash metal with heavy inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft. 

Lyrics: At the Mountains of Madness
At the edge of the world
It lies in wait
A being so full of wisdom
Hidden from sight
It’s presence strong and fearsome

Vast the expanse
Of structures unseen
Exploring the nearly forgotten
Murals allude
To the evil inside

Is there life in the snow
Beyond the borders of society

Turn back or despair
When you’re in for the scare
Of your life
Be prepared
Under the Elder’s rule

To glimpse his face
Will twist the mind
The fragile are scarred
A terrible cost
Now your soul is lost

Is there life in the snow
Beyond the borders of society

Turn back or despair
When you’re in for the scare
Of your life
Be prepared
Under the Elder’s rule

In the vastness
Things you shouldn’t see
Turn around now
Go on and flee

Is there life in the snow
At the mountains of madness 

Turn back or despair
When you’re in the scare
Of your life
Be prepared
Turn back or despair
When you’re in for the scare
Of your life
Be prepared
Under the Elder’s rule

Elder’s rule

Metal - At the Mountains of Madness (demo)

13th track out of 14 for the FAWM challenge 2024. This one also a very quick write, aimed for a garage rock feel. 

Lyrics: Gimme More 

Feel the rush
The juice of life
Running through my veins
Adrenalized
And I’m wide awake
The breaker of the chains
Gimme more 
Gimme more 
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme more again
‘cause I’m at my end

You start me up
And I won’t let go
Lead me on my path
You aim is true
And I ignore
The threat of the aftermath

Ain’t no crash and burn, no no
On your watch

Feel the rush
The juice of life
Running through my veins
Adrenalized
Now I’m wide awake
The breaker of the chains
Gimme more 
Gimme more 
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme more again
‘cause I’m at my end

Not cooling down
I keep it hot
Refuel and push the gas
The tyres spin
Intend to win
The pathway through the glass

Ain’t no crash and burn, baby
On your watch

Feel the rush
The juice of life
Running through my veins
Adrenalized
Now I’m wide awake
The breaker of the chains
Gimme more 
Gimme more 
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme more again
‘cause I’m at my end

Into the dark, mmm
Come light my spark, yeah
The journey onwards to the Milky Way

Feel the rush
The juice of life
Running through my veins
Adrenalized
Now I’m wide awake
The breaker of the chains
Gimme more 
Gimme more 
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme more again
‘cause I’m at my end

Rock - Gimme More (demo)

And track number 14, the challenge for FAWM is completed. This one another speed write to finish the challenge within February. Retro style soft-rock. 

Lyrics: Start the Fire
You knew before I met you
That we were meant to be
You crept under the radar
Or I was just too blind to see

You lit up every corner
Painted colors in the gray
And suddenly my endless night
Was brighter than the day

You tossed your hair
And shot me a smile

Strike a match
And light the fire
It keeps burning in my heart
You hit the spot
Now don’t let go
Lead me to the place we start
Start the fire

Come storm and thunder
You keep on holding on
Through rougher tides and sorrow
I know that you’re not gone

You tossed your hair
And shot me a smile

Strike a match
And light the fire
It keeps burning in my heart
You hit the spot
Now don’t let go
Lead me to the place we start
Start the fire

Lead me ashore
And save me 
When I have lost my way

Strike a match
And light the fire
It keeps burning in my heart
You hit the spot
Now don’t let go
Lead me to the place we start
Start the fire
Oh oh
It keeps burning in my heart
You hit the spot
Now don’t let go
Lead me to the place we start
Start the fire
