Superficial

As I drove through dusty country 
Trying to find my way back home
I was thinking of the future and
Whether I would stay alone.

I had met her in a bar 
And she had left me the next day
As she always did
But she left me wishing she could stay

Only met her for a few brief hours
Long enough to realise
Long enough to realise
That she was only superficial,
Clearly superficial
She was superficial

Despite all of my misgivings
I could not make her disappear 
And she occupied my mind
Even though she wasn’t there

She had made a big impression
With her laugh and with her looks
But I knew that I meant nothing to her
She had other hooks

Only met her for a few brief hours
Long enough to realise
Long enough to realise
That she was only superficial,
Merely superficial
She was superficial

I didn’t need her to be
My girlfriend or my wife
Artificial but hypnotic
And she’ll shred somebody’s life

So I carried on my journey
Tried to wipe her from my mind
I knew there were lots of 
better women I could find

But I couldn’t purge her memory
She had burrowed deep inside
She continued to distract me
And I knew my hands were tied

I didn’t need her to be
My girlfriend or my wife
Artificial and hypnotic
And she’ll shred somebody’s life

Superficial

What comes next is seldom better
what foolish souls, blind to their debtor
live forever on your knees, they say
gives us your freedom for your pay
worry filled hearts will never rise
and find the key to their enslaver’s demise 
Yet we feed those who don’t cook 
we forgive those who burn books
our labour gives them wealth
we watch our own declining health
written more than 100 years ago
yet these words still seem not old
This is what Hill once wrote 
May his spirit forgive me, for here I quote

Workers of the world, awaken
Break your chains, demand your rights. 
All the wealth you make is taken
By exploiting parasites.

Heroes rest in unvisited tombs 
As our forgetful world glooms

Middle of the Night

insane dance mix of one of my fave compositions

From Afar (Calibeats Remix)


Verse 1
The cat’s in the cradle, there’s a cow on the moon
I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon
A street with no name where the lights never shone
Ten years of sorrow, I felt so alone
Death on the corners, and drugs in their veins
No sun in the sky, only rattling chains
Tortured faces filled with nothing but pain
Where hope was a whisper lost in the rain

Chorus
But I held on tight, I refused to give in
Found a spark in the dark where my dreams could begin
From that broken down block, I swore I’d explore
And break free from the nothing to become something more

Verse 2
Shadows grew tall as I learned how to fight
Trading tears for some faith in the dead of the night
The world tried to break me, I wouldn’t let go
I planted my seeds where no flowers could grow
Fear was an echo, but courage was born
From every locked door, a new path was torn
I rose from the ashes of the place I called home
And built a new story where I wasn’t alone
(Repeat Chorus)
But I held on tight, I refused to give in
Found a spark in the dark where my dreams could begin
From that broken down block, I swore I’d explore
And break free from the nothing to become something more

Bridge
There’s freedom on the horizon when hope lights the way
Hard roads behind me, but now I can say
I carried these scars like they’re ribbons I won
From the darkest nights, I’m stepping into the sun

Chorus
I held on tight, I refused to give in
Reached for tomorrow where a new life begins
From that battered old block, now the world I’ll adore
I’ve shattered my chains—yes, I’ve become so much more

Outro
The cat’s in the cradle, there’s a cow on the moon
I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon
But I’m standing here now, scars turned into grace
A soul full of fire in a brand-new place
I’ve risen above those shadows behind
Proving to the world—and to my own mind
That from nothing, from struggle, from a street with no name
I learned to stand tall through every heartache and flame



Nothing to Something

Verse
Please allow me to reintroduce myself,  
I'm the echo in your prayers, your cries for help,  
I've whispered to kings and danced in the flames,  
Smiling sweetly while I call your name.  

Verse
I rode through Rome with a crooked crown,  
Watched empires crumble, then I burned 'em down.  
Lit cigars off a dying sun,  
Then sipped red wine while the plagues begun.  

Chorus
Ohhh- Ohhhh! Can you guess my name?  
I wear every mask, I play every game.  
Ohhh- Ohhhh!! I’m the face in the flame—  
Just a friend with a taste for fame.  

Verse
I played chess in the palace halls,  
Whispered secrets through cathedral walls.  
Signed the deals that sealed your fate,  
All with a smile and a twist of fate.  

Chorus
Ohhh- Ohhhh!! Can you guess my name?  
From the gallows to the halls of fame.  
Ohhh- Ohhhh!! I don’t need to explain—  
I’m the shadow that sings in the rain.  

Bridge
[Conga and Piano Groove]  
[Guitar Lick Solo – bluesy, teasing]

Verse
I kissed the lips of Marilyn’s ghost,  
Danced with rebels, drank with the hosts.  
I watched the world spin round again,  
And I laughed in the thunder and danced in the sin.  

Chorus
Ohhh- Ohhhh!! You still don't know my name?  
It’s been carved in stone and lit in flame.  
Ohhh- Ohhhh!! Don’t cry or blame—  
I just give you what you claim.  


No more sympathy for the devil
