Back To The Surface 06:02
lyrics
buy track
BACK TO THE SURFACE Thoughts cannot be silenced, though my lips are sowed shut Our shadow on the sidewalk is always dark These handcuffs are so tight, they make my wrists bleed The more open the wound, the more they're hungry Sense every move I make will go wrong Where are you living in the present when history just repeats itself? I want to add another point of view to help you turn the stones that are set Nobody ever seems to remember what I can never forget I am back to the surface, gasping for breath Before my lungs run out of air I am back to the surface, holding my breath Before my head's pulled under again So much violence wrapping around your words Reaching out to cord cutting through my fingers Everything is vanishing or maybe I'm the only one I wish I could blink and miss it all Don't want to repeat myself, I need to be somewhere else Where I can't recognise anything bad I have ever seen Don't want to repeat mistakes I've seen so many others make Without being shown the way, can anyone make a change? They only want your heart so they can break it They only want your mind so they can take it They only want your body so they can use it They only want your soul when they want to destroy it They only want to demean all that is genuine All of our fabrications have no ending I clench my fists, so annoyed, while you're pretending Where is this happiness they're always recommending?

Dark Room 04:08
lyrics
buy track
DARK ROOM Anyone can see...just out of focus Sometimes you cannot step outside the dark room Everyone will bleed, then believe we're immune You can get used to anything when it's growing from inside The past, I'll keep pushing behind If I keep shutting out each thought One day the memories might be gone The future's like the sun, it hurts my eyes It blinds me... What I fear, I crouch beside Until the weight of their truth flattened my mind

Let Me Go 04:48
lyrics
buy track
LET ME GO Reach into my darkest thought, I cannot pull away The cold world outside suddenly makes it feel warmer here Wherever I am, I just want to get away I don't remember anything but this loneliness Maybe that's because that's all there really is Do you think that what you hold today is really yours? So sick and tired of things that mean nothing So paralysed by the loss of all things Don't tell me it will ever get better When it always feels it couldn't get worse than this Let me go How much does a person have to suffer? Can you ignore a dead corpse... forever? They reach inside with their ice cold hands I always end up at the will of their demands Before they've even tried to understand what I need Try to medicate in every way The demons always find their place inside Life is a bad hangover that never ends So sick and tired of things that are meant to mean something Always end up looking invisible I may have to force this grin on my face for you but deep inside I roar...

Where? 04:38
lyrics
buy track
WHERE? I'm floating around the room Have I just left my body for a while? Will I be coming back ever again? I feel myself falling deeper and deeper into places I don't recognise but these disguises are becoming my home While they're pulling me back I'm turning over pictures in my mind Trying to keep a grip on reality But I realise...I no longer know what that is Or if I ever did I'll do anything to get away from you This is what I've been pushed to Now all I find is I need to get away from escaping But I can't come back No, I can't come back, come back to where? I'm staring down at the floor Following patterns that mislead me to a light Fading into a colour as pale as the lines that await me The visions are ripping through my mind While they're pushing me forward Before I've even had the chance to deal with the past Seeing that good moments are just fantasy I realise...this is my demise So it's going to keep on happening Wipe me out of existence(repeat) The only peace I could ever feel inside

Opposites Attract 04:58
lyrics
buy track
OPPOSITES ATTRACT Sometimes you have to look away to be able to see Feel intoxicated to remember how to breathe Allow some room for all doubt so you know what to believe Pay back all your debts before they demand the fee Sometimes you have to turn to the past to reach the present day Have to switch off the light to feel the burning from it's rays Have to turn your back to leave to find the right place to stay Give away broken dreams and learn to mend in other ways Opposites attract but divide themselves to multiply An answer is another question why Sometimes what you hear isn't always what is being said It's okay to be alive if you know how to play dead The wounds don't feel as heavy once they've already bled Have to disconnect what will not leave your head

Preaching To The Converted 03:58
lyrics
buy track
PREACHING TO THE CONVERTED Maybe the bible's written by the devil? What if the scripts are all read wrong? Maybe the story's are all made up? The sky is empty, no hell or heaven? What if God is not the good guy? When do we get to hear the villians side? Maybe morals never meant a thing? Do you really believe you are free? Jesus was a brainwasher and now he's got his guides You cannot make me swallow lies Even when you choke me with them What if sins are the only achievement? Whatever you believe, you'll find something different Churches are occults while their leaders on their thrones Are preaching fables like fact they don't even know On their megaphones What if the only maker is yourself? Did anyone ever answer your prayers? If god created life.... Don't you think he'd have something better to say if he really cares? ...if he really cares...

In Pieces 05:42
lyrics
buy track
IN PEICES The day will just carry on Have to pretend it's all just a bad dream That must never wake me up Keep on returning to that cold morning How long was it creeping up on me? Holding you in my arms No amount could ever be enough I can't take this pain forever It's the only thing that never ends I'm in pieces that won't fit back together Since I've lost you, my friend (I'll never find you again) Each day pretends I'm not gone I know time has stopped Whenever life is cruel, you brought me comfort Where will I ever find you now? I held you in my arms You were no longer moving I never wanted to let you go

Gone 04:54
lyrics
buy track
GONE We never needed words Our language translated so much in silence Your eyes, full of such warmth The only ones I couldn't look away from Just to see you or feel you near Almost made the darkness shine Gone Tell me where you are? How far will it take to get there? Gone Nothing else can fill up Now the empty space we used to share In this world where it all disappears I knew you felt too much like I did You were so special like a fallen angel I always felt so lucky to hold in my arms Did you know how much you made it okay When I died and you were beside me? I won't admit that you're not around me any more In my mind you'll never be gone I heard your cries and saw...I saw you as you died How could I not save you? I couldn't help you this time and now you're...

I Had To Say Goodbye 07:54
lyrics
buy track
I HAD TO SAY GOODBYE I got the news from a phone call in the afternoon She said it's an emergency, call your sisters I waited as you walked through the door in tears You said your dad is going to die, his only got one year We went down to see you in the hospital room The same place they had delivered you the news We sat around in silence until they started to cry I looked straight at you and just wondered why? What must you be feeling in this moment? What right do I have to cry? You are the one whose not choosing to die but they're taking you from our side Days went by and things were not fine Something was creeping around time Within one day, you started to disappear I saw the pain you felt to still be here Then only 3 months, it was too late To find all the right words to translate I walked down the pink and white corridors to reach you Knowing this could be the last time I had to say goodbye I didn't want you to die When you know most of me did I had to say goodbye but despite how I try You know I never will I held your hand for three nights straight Watching as you deteriorate Hoping that you won't suffer soon but I don't want to lose you I can see you're going somewhere else The blood starts to rise I rush to your side and watch as you leave us behind I had to say goodbye I looked right into your eyes and watched as you died I had to say goodbye I looked up into the sky and watched my world disappear So many faces at your crematorial I'd held your hand and it was so cold and kissed your dead cheek My head hanging down as I walked away numbly Hours or was it days or months rolled by There's nothing left that you would recognise The world moved on around me As if I'd travelled forward in time I had to say goodbye I couldn't even cry You know they would never let me I had to say goodbye For the last time It was the end to my family

Don't Ask Me 04:30
lyrics
buy track
DON'T ASK ME Alone, I'm always alone Every day of my life, anywhere There's an absence that can't be filled Light, have you seen it lately?(repeat) They tell me the world can still be good if you let it When will it let me?(repeat) Don't ask me to keep on going I am here and that's more then enough for me Pain, I'm always in pain They just say get over it How can you change what is permanent? Time, I've lost so many years By the time I reach them I'll be too old

Last Days 05:18
lyrics
buy track
LAST DAYS I watched as my cigarette burnt out in the ashtray and thought about all the things I couldn't say I pictured you lying down on your deathbed and how you didn't know I knew what that looked like as you didn't even know me at all I wondered if your face resembled mine at all The last time I saw you, I was so small I heard you were mean and so maybe you deserve the punishment you're receiving right now or maybe I'm as cold as what runs through my blood I worry about her though does she look out for me? It seems like every year I have less and less family There wasn't much in the beginning but now I hardly feel a thing As much as I cling to a last hope Thinking about all the things I've been missing Obviously, I could survive without them but in the end survival and happiness have nothing to do with each other though they both reach the same end I watched as another cigarette burnt out in the ashtray It just as easily could be my last day as every moment feels like it is I cannot cope with it So in a way, maybe envy is keeping me at bay I won't be there to say goodbye to you today Maybe in another life you will love your daughter and maybe then she may learn how to love hers

Long Descent 03:56
lyrics
buy track
LONG DESCENT Nobody has the time Except to waste all of mine You'll drown me in your lies Then expect me to come up for air Nobody can repair It's too late now I don't care I wasn't relevant anywhere Is there a place I can find? Where somebody has a spine? Nobody has the time... All you care about is what you can get All I care about is what I do not have but I won't tread on anyone's toes, except my own, to get there (You'll tread on everyone's toes, except your own, to get there) I cannot pretend that anyone gives a damn While I reach for something sincere, they grab back with dirty hands I don't want any fans... They'll twist it all around to suit themselves While you're left to grow colder Always longing for what will never happen They don't want it to... Nothing is ever true

about

2012 Demos (First Take) CD1

These songs are raw and were recorded when I didn't have good quality/or the right equipment nor any experience or knowledge of recording/production. Many of the tracks were recorded at the time of creation, often having only just decided how the music or singing was going to go, sometimes upon hitting the record button. Therefore, these are first takes, there are mistakes but there is a natural experience that can only be captured from the first time which for those of you who can look past these things, can hopefully appreciate. Somewhere in the future, you may hear these songs from me again in better quality and/or as different versions.
