Great emotion and movement in this. Some lovely arrangement and musical touches throughout and heartfelt song writing - good work !

A song to protest the too many working folk who's voices have been silenced and cancelled with our emerging woke culture and governing by an inept and corrupt media, big tech corporate and administration.

Rule Of Flaw (from 2021 album Cientinal)

Venting my anger at my older children who were fine and with whom I had a decent relationship through their young years and when I was helping them and supporting them in their teens and early adulthood (college and weddings), but then/now disassociate in the current political landscape because they can't respect my political choices... though I must respect theirs.

Shove It (from 2021 album Oddiossey)

We all need to try to have an open mind and our country and government depend on discourse- not censorship

Open Mind (from 2020 album Errorotica)

The sin of sloth from my 2017 album 7 Virtues, 7 SIns...

Sloth (from 2017 album 7 Virtues, 7 Sins)

Just trying to draw emotion from and into song... from forthcoming 2022/2023 album Passive Persistence.

Just A Shell Of Me
-------------------

What's going on with my relationships
What's going on inside my head
Am I not saying what I'm meaning
Are you not hearing what I've said

I'm getting to the point of giving up
It seems to always end the same
Against the odds always the bad guy
If I just lose why play the game

Now you've gone away
We can't go back
To the way things used to be
And so I face another day
A lesser man
Just a shell of me

I wish you could have seen my thought clouds
I think they might have helped a lot
They would have let you know I loved you
When all my clumsy words did not

I'm beside myself
With no one here to hold me
No one I can blame
Beside myself

Just A Shell Of Me (from forthcoming 2022/2023 album Passive Persistence)

Dreamer

The Calling

When you're maxed out and need a break...

The Runaway
------------------
When it's seeming like nothing's going right
And you're feeling so tense and so uptight
If you only toss and turn at night
Then it's time that you should find respite

Take a break and come with me
To a place that's wild and free
Leave your worries far behind
Find some peace of mind
Drop it all and come away
All you've got to do is say
"It's time to play The Runaway"

If you're sensing that life is just unfair
Always nervous and pulling at your hair
Then it's time to drop the whole affair
Take my hand and I will take you there

The Runaway (from forthcoming 2022/2023 album Passive Persistence)

Things are going to shit...

Anarchy Reigns
----------------------

Common sense has left the room
Empty smiles can't hide
The gloom and the doom

Anger simmers, evil waits
Watching us collapse
Under our own weight

What a hopeless bunch

So anarchy reigns
As despair chills my veins
Speeding faster towards the wall

Never learn from our past
Good intentions start
But can't seem to last

Selfishness soon rules the day
Greed and power stomps
What stands in their way

What a hopeless bunch

So anarchy reigns
As the story ends the same
Speeding faster towards the wall

Anarchy Reigns (from forthcoming 2022/2023 album Passive Persistence)
