Dust & Shadow

Thinking of the time when we first met,
Since then so many words were left unsaid.
Don’t you think?
We could have salvaged something if you just let me in.
Never again am I to play the fool,
With every breath you take you are so cruel.
Can’t you see?
I am tired, I am done with this controversy.

Make it work,
I am done,
End it all and pull the plug.
Sweep it all under the rug.
In time you’ll see you’re not the one for me.

A history in a memory,
A miracle in time,
You better not forget me,
Cause you’re always on my mind.
And arguments aside you are
The one thing for which I would die
Don’t turn away, I won’t give up without a fight. 
(Fight, fight, fight,
I won’t give up without a fight, fight.)

We’re both at fault and we’ve both made mistakes,
A small slip of the tongue is all it takes,
And we’re back,
At the beginning of everything (more bones to break).
I’m tired of running circles around you.
I’m tired of jumping through your every hoop.
Cut some slack,
I just want to love you in a way that you can back.

Make it work,
I am done,
End it all and pull the plug.
Sweep it all under the rug.
In time you’ll see you’re not the one for me.

A history in a memory,
A miracle in time,
You better not forget me,
Cause you’re always on my mind.
And arguments aside you are
The one thing for which I would die
Don’t turn away, I won’t give up without a fight. 
(Fight, fight, fight,
I won’t give up without a fight, fight.)

Fight

All we do is break each other
No relying outward for cover.
God, I am so tired.
Expose yourself to words so deadly.
Listen to the taunts they throw thee.
Oh why? What do I expect to find?

I am the broken wall letting the light shine through.
I am that shred of hope emancipating you.
I am the mighty heart that will not break in two.
I am your guardian. I am your savior.

Think for a moment, stop a second.
Get on the ground and drop your weapons or die.
Just comply.
You shift the goalposts, break the rules and
Expect the world to hand you jewels and a life
Free of trials.
It costs nothing to be kind…

You are so pure of heart, one, which will remain true.
You are going to soar as thunderbolts ensue.
You are the specimen that I aspire to.
You are my champion. You are a leader.

We are the solution to the problem at hand.
We are responsible. And we must take a stand.
We are willing to change if it means we can live
In perfect harmony. We are our freedom.

I/You/We

Wait until spring.
Remember everything.
What I’ve done for you.
Sacrificed for you.
The least you could do is thank me.
Is thank me.

I pray you return.
I simply can’t discern.
Your intimacy,
Followed by swift retreat.
Just be straight with me.
Honesty.
Honesty.

Honesty

36 Crazyfists -  Also Am I

And Only Time Will Tell (Feat Jermaine Hurley/Ben marvin/Timfyjames)

Back by popular demand, this is a instrumental tesseract track from their debut album which i neemafied x

Part 5 Neemo vox ideas

Full track of the Define The Lie single we released last week.


Daniel on the lyrics:  "In a nutshell, it's about putting on a front and covering the truth about self neglect and abuse but struggling to do so. Even though you can be surrounded by the right people trying to help you onto the right path, it can be hard to make sense of things when your judgement is clouded by your own selfish stubbornness and greed. We can be our own worst enemies at time... Sleeping with the enemy."



Lyrics: 

Your satisfied eyes are so dry they're tainted, cover up how up you suffer needless
Your hands are tied but you tell me nothing. I think it's time to go back

Destroy! Cos I finally know. Destroy!

Even though you find another blood stained, definitive fucking needle, it's dangerous POW!
But you still have to take the pain and defend it.

Everyone breathes but I just hear nothing
Please tell me why I've been sleeping with the enemy
And now everyone screams but they just make no sense
Please tell me why I've been sleeping with the enemy

Your desolate eyes are so full of hatred, exposing how you suffer endless
Your hands collide I trust you with nothing. I think it's time to go back. 

Destroy! Cos I finally know. Destroy!  This was the final reason

Even though you find another blood stained, definitive fucking needle, it's dangerous POW!
But you still have to take the pain and defend it.

Everyone breathes but I just hear nothing
Please tell me why I've been sleeping with the enemy
And now everyone screams but they just make no sense
Please tell me why I've been sleeping with the enemy

Define the lie and walk alone. Behind your yearning to belong
Blinding light you're not alone. Define the lie and beg for home

Please tell me why I've been sleeping with the enemy
And now everyone screams but they just make no sense
Please tell me why I've been sleeping with the enemy

TesseracT - Dream Brother (Jeff Buckley Cover)

Final mix/master of "Warrior".

Dan's lyrics are inspired by a trip he took to the Chichen Itza pyramid in Mexico.  The story is about the Mayan Civilization and human sacrifice.

Gtr Solo - Brett Stine

Hold me near and show me. Is this how we fare? 
Believers follow blind with fear
Relentless shadows chase us to our knees
So we follow, believe in me.
We choose to swallow and not to breathe
Soldier on and maybe we can live for tomorrow
Stripped down and left to wander through this crowd
It's so hard to find a reason this time
Bow your head down to glorify
Resisting but you can't deny it 
Show them thunder, look to the sky
Soldier on and maybe we can live for tomorrow
Stripped down and left to wander through this crowd
It's so hard to find a reason this time
No more seasons change
Time begins to slow
The weather calls upon the land to watch and despair
I will be defeated whole and thrown aside
My body built into these walls, immortalized
So we follow to glorify
Stripped down and left to wander through this crowd
It's so hard to find a reason this time
Stripped down and left to wander through this crowd
It's so hard to find a reason this time

Haji's Kitchen - Warrior

Final master of Nocturnus, track one off TwentyTwelve.

Music by HK, lyrics & vocals by Daniel Tompkins, solo by Brett Stine

Lyrics:
Even though, visceral, you stand there; fixate your stare on me
Innocent open book left to remind me where we are
Open wide, go back in time, rectify all the love you crucified
Shadows rise and bide their time, the voices take my soul
I'm paralyzed, I can't escape the fire in my eyes
Sleeping still, silver knives force me down and cut through my insides
Concentrate a sudden rush; blinded by fear of the unknown.
Wake me up and bring me back into the darkness that's surrounding me
Shadows rise and bide their time, the voices take my soul
I'm paralyzed, I can't escape the fire in my eyes
Collisions and satellites can't rid me of the fear of every night
I'm paralysed, I can't escape the fire in my eyes

Caught Me Wrong

I’ve said too much.
My eyes scream the tale.
My ageing skin.
I’m wearing thin.

Breathe slow, take a breath,
I know it’s harder to forget.
I love, I love, I love the thought,
Of the certainty I’m cured.

These scars run deep.
My home: the precipice.
This splinter in my mind,
Encourages the jump with time.
It’s getting harder to dismiss…

Breathe slow, take a breath,
I know it’s harder to forget.
I love, I love, I love the thought,
Of the certainty I’m cured.


Cured

Looking up at eyelids red,
On eggshells passersby tread,
And it leaves me so confused and upset.
waking to an open mouth,
my head swarming with self-doubt
I can't focus on a thing in my sight.

'Cause I'm cold & I'm alone,
Splayed upon etheric throne.
With a flushing in my lungs,
Invasive & useless tongues.

Reminiscing past events,
As I lay on the hard cement
Lest you save me, I am nothing but a vessel.
Assemble hands for futile prayer
for the man who is not there
Unsuccessful & completely out of your control.

Don't fret.
Don't fret.

I approach the path to home
Beyond this place & your own.
Justify your sentiment with a love that's heaven-sent.
as the door begins to close,
weights are lifted from my woes,
As I find a peace of mind, I pity what's left behind.

Tell me the world isn't over.
Tell me that lie.
Show me a version of hope that cannot die.
Cradle me until your arms give,
Until I decompose.
Find a peace in my demise & let it go.
(You're just no good at letting go)

(Letting go...)

I approach the path to home
Beyond this place & your own.
Justify your sentiment with a love that's heaven-sent.
as the door begins to close,
weights are lifted from my woes,
As I find a peace of mind, I pity what's left behind.

Lungs (Letting Go)

The pieces of the puzzle are fitting to so neatly.
Discovering you slowly & how you think you're so scene.
The substances a-plenty & all the smoke you inhale are causing rifts with me,
Not like you care cause...

You're not my friend.
I want revenge.
This is the story's end.
You cannot see.
It's killing me.
So much for harmony.

Don't you see how you've changed, in a moment of clarity?
How not giving a shit is your new favourite activity.
Don't you fear you might lose what you valued initially?
Well I'm sorry I cared, but I won't anymore you see...

You're not my friend.
I want revenge.
This is the story's end.
You cannot see.
It's killing me.
So much for harmony.

Story's End

Updated version of one of my fave tracks I've written,
Planning to feature Sally Garozzo on the new version, looking forward to it!
Levels are still shit, but hey! you get the gist! :P
Hope you enjoy!

End This.

I’ve waded through a thousand fires,
I’ve felt the burn of my empires.
Nothing compares to the smarting of your touch.
A brisk embrace.
I’m yet to see a satisfying history.
To play a hand I have lost continuously.

Frustration grows, it wages on.
I crave my missing dominion.
Are you him? Are you the power I still long?
I’m done with hope, I’m done with dreams,
I’m through with bargaining it seems.
The moment’s lost, my future rests in what redeems.

End this.
I’ll fight and resist.
I’m wasting my time,
Searching for a compromise.
End this.
I cannot resist, no.
Can you not see what you’re making of me?

This emptiness seems bottomless,
how can i see it through?
The light has been replaced,
with the shadow of you.
I'll storm the fire, fend off the beasts,
until our peace comes through.
(Even if it's without you)
A brighter day is followed by a darker night,
make me believe,
make me believe I have a chance,
That i have just one more night...

End This (Featuring Sally Garozzo)

Helix

I got a problem,
I wanna talk about it,
If i bottle this up,
I'll just forget about it,
I wanna do this face to face,
No pretense, No ego's, No Bullshit and no mistakes.
I wanna start with
Some wise words,
They're not my own but you
May have heard,
Be the change you want to see,
If you want to make a difference in this fallacy now,
Talk is cheap and so are actions,
Its not what you do its how its done,
Make the choice, be the voice, follow it up with the real mccoy,
Its a crazy world a hazy world,
Its a fucked up time to find a girl,
We stand by we all get high while the world around us stays deprived.

(Chorus)
I don't wanna die alone,
I got nothing to live for,
But I don't wanna die alone,
Give me something to live for.

Just look
At the current state of affairs,
If like me you prefer to stay unaware.
What we don't see doesn't exist,
But the fact of the matter is this shit persists.
Every day another struggle,
Every day we need to juggle,
separate what we want and what we need,
We need to think about our legacy,
We can Take control of our lives again,
WE CAN be the generation that starts again,
WE CAN make a difference,
WE CAN transcend,
WE CAN be the ones to bring this to an end.
But what this comes down to is,
Can I really risk the chance of bringing up a kid,
The probability is swayed the wrong side
So at the end of my life,

(Chorus)
I don't wanna die alone,
I got nothing to live for,
But I don't wanna die alone,
Give me something to live for.
I don't want to die alone,
I don't want to risk another soul being sucked into this heartless life we call home,
I don't want to die alone,
But when the worst is yet to come don't want the guilt of a soul being sucked into this unknown.

I feel like shit, I can't commit,
And everybody around me has just given in.
It feels like, I'm alone on this journey,
The only prospect is family and that aint happening,
Me aside, I'll drop my pride,
Don't really feel like i've given this a good try,
But my logic has got the better of me,
Do i die alone or bring a child to this make believe.

(Chorus)
I don't wanna die alone,
I got nothing to live for,
But I don't wanna die alone,
Give me something to live for.
I don't want to die alone,
I don't want to risk another soul being sucked into this heartless life we call home,
I don't want to die alone,
But when the worst is yet to come don't want the guilt of a soul being sucked into this unknown.
