Cold Memory 04:05
COLD MEMORY Old faces come back to haunt you Especially the ones you've worn So many places that look unfamiliar Can then take me back to there in seconds How do you leave the past behind? When the present changes every minute I'm not willing to lose any more It hurts more than you'll ever know How do you leave the past behind? Without deserting a huge part of yourself I'm not ready to lose any more but it's passing by the moment... There's hostility punching through my mind I think the claws have found their way through Rinse my thoughts of all bad things Could there be anything else?
2.
NOTHING IN THIS WORLD (Like You) A long dream that never ends... I'm falling into your arms again Been to all of the stars with you beside me Every time we left, I've never felt so empty I've had others that left me wanting You're the loudest echo that haunts me By now, I'd probably do anything for you The more I consume, the more you destroy me The ones that have never had a piece of you Cannot understand what you mean to me The ones that have had all of you Just encourage me... The ones that never had a piece of you Cannot understand what you do to me The ones that have had some of you Can easily leave... Watching from afar as you slowly kill me It feels like there's a heaven in hell There's nothing in this world (repeat) like you I wish this was something I could grow out of You've found all of the places that were locked Everything felt at such a distance before I knew you I can hardly feel anything else since I found you
3.
MOUTHS OF JUDGEMENT Waiting for the calm waves To hold me back from the current rushing in Forcing a way to find tomorrow That won't blind me with what's already been Nothing can replace what I've lost The best of me died so long ago The rest of me will soon follow... The mouth of judgement is open wide Help at hand is such limited supply I only got to here because I couldn't escape Now I can't escape this place Did their ears ever press against my lips? I still don't think they really heard me Crawling back into my hibernation... Somewhere I can go and never leave
4.
AT THE BOTTOM Life is knowing of the evens and being fixated with the odds Life's a trilogy...of frowning events Life is confusion...at best I cannot see the bottom Because I'm so attached to it I cannot see myself As I don't really exist I fit into the world like a nail Forever climbing out to just be hit down The world has sat on it's own face Scales of unhappiness has no measurement I'm only here to see the end While they pretend that there's anything else
5.
Rattle 05:36
RATTLE My cage, it's bolted now When the bites don't show, they just sting more I feel the droplets of rain start to flood Where you can't pull the plug on the sadness that overwhelms I'm fitting my thoughts into holes that cannot breathe Trying to lift my heavy limbs up off my knees Staring into a distorted distance that cannot be seen By anyone but me Loosen the pressure that's keeping me confined The more they open me up, the more I hate what I find Can't accept what I am, but what does change even mean? The more you reach for something better, the more you repeat all that you've seen? My cage, it's always rattling and if it seems to stop for a moment, it's just preparing I feel something cold shaking through my thoughts Where my mind's always against me I cannot lose one memory but I need to see most of them gone
6.
SUICIDE WATCH I will smile again When I remember how to pretend No lock is going to stop my mood from sinking No amount of alcohol is going to get the poison out You may understand me shouting if you listen to my whispers I trust only life's cruel, there is no doubt I will smile again When I remember how to pretend I won't tell anyone what I plan to do You only do that if you want them to stop you The pain's too much and I've had enough of feeling like this Can't live in a world where they take your mind and keep twisting it I will smile again When I remember how to pretend If I have to suffer alone Let me do it in peace
7.
STARTING AT THE FINISHING LINE Longing for that one minute of silence that never enters your head No matter what I've tried to fill my thoughts up with, they never empty Too many routes from too many wounds always keeping me at the edges and even when I'm falling over them...it never ends I don't see how I'll ever find a place to settle my thoughts now Everything seems so surreal, I know they/it must be true Keep telling myself it's just a nightmare, one day it will be gone I know it'll never leave before I do I know it'll never leave unless I do Longing for that one minute of noise to take over the volumes of my mind No matter how I've tried to throw out the rubbish, it just keeps on adding more Too many dead ends from too many fiends, always keeping me stuck right here and even if I manage to get away from them...it just starts again...
8.
ABANDON (Original) All that's left is silence Filled up with too much unreleased Nothing can get through any more So keep on building up these walls What used to look like hope has faded Into the same absence everywhere else goes All of the dark holes have swallowed me whole Now, I'm just waiting to go... They all turned away when I needed them most They all died when I couldn't take any more They all ignored what was obviously killing me Now, it's just myself I must abandon All that's left are these hours They go on and on as though they'll never stop I can feel the end around every corner That the hand turns on the clock What used to look like sadness has faded Into the same absence everywhere else goes All of the raindrops drown me of all colour Even my tears split in half as they fall

about

2012 Demos (First Take) CD2

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.
