lyrics

Life begins and nature finds a way
All we do is get through every day
We take our chances, rolling with the dice
But no one sees what lies behind our eyes
Consequences shifting with tide
Slowly bending parallels inside
Taunting demons, bringing to the fore
Doubt and anger thrive for evermore

When all around is dark
We need that vital spark
To light the way within
The game we'll never win

All around they bustle to and fro
No one cares 'cos no one needs to know
The man behind the curtain pulls the strings
And we all nod, believing everything
Black and white, the greyest of the shades
Read between the lines at lies they've made
What is now today, we'll soon forget
And yesterday's beliefs are our regrets

And with the turning tide
We start to wither inside
An empty vessel remains
And they will stake their claim
Until they achieve their aim

The hand that feeds is laced with poison
The mouth that speaks is not without sin
The path we're shown betrays and bathed in darkness
And no light waits at the end

Another day, another chance to strive
The struggle born within us to survive
Scrambling up while falling to the ground
The scraps we're fed are cut from those around
Hypocrisy that fails to see the lies
From shadow creatures bound by loyal ties
Eventually, the cracks begin to show
Revealing truths they feared we'd ever know

Between the twilight and the dawn
The silence helps us carry on
And when the fears invade subconscious thoughts inside
We open our eyes

The hand that feeds is laced with poison
The mouth that speaks is not without sin
The path we're shown betrays and bathed in darkness
And no light waits at the end

It's just me, all the way down. Although I do tend to write on my own and play all instruments myself, I have been known to pull in some collaborations.

I love to experiment, musically, and enjoy playing around with time signatures. ... more
