Cursory Rhyme
Cradle my head just right Make shapes by the bedroom light Be patient and well tonight Take care that my health’s alright Tuck in my teddy tight And dust where the bed bugs bite Please say one last precious rhyme And waken me when its time XXX Sketch lines I’ll fill with joy Tell me I’m your little boy Protect me from hurtful words And shelter me from the world Soothe me til I’m at ease Good roots build the highest trees With you here I’ll never fear We’ll shoot beasts with silver beads XXX Mend this gown with broken scissors Upend my frown with smoke and mirrors I tend the mound where hope still withers I fed the hound my only slivers By roots I’m bound in earth malicious The wolf now growls at any issues He chews on doubt, finds stress delicious And looks around with tense suspicions XXX Place gratitude in my hand And my heart will understand We’ll pray for that second chance Create a new circumstance We’ll paper the cracks and scuffs And tape up the damaged stuff We’ll shake out the tarnished rugs Replace all the shattered bulbs XXX Send the clown back when I falter And let me down with threads I altered I pencilled out what pen had ordered So when I drown drop cents in water My heart stopped cold to kill what’s rotten I glanced below at things forgotten A cache of gold that sinks to bottom My hands let go and swim the torrent XXX

Soldier On
Lyrics: I am the seed that struggled Sewn by the trees I smothered So shy with weeds for brothers CO high as breathing suffered I have belief things might change Harsh winds will reveal my place Past things did not seal my fate Reengineer this nightmare XXX Prick the ground for life’s endurance Every cloud holds vital fluid Sinking down I’ve primed my roots I didn’t sprout but time grew shoots whoa! In the mud I’ve gleaned a truth Belief in something out of view Guess feeling hurt caused something new When thunder stops I’ll fucking bloom so XXX Soldier on I will see the dawn I’ve been trampled on I’m still bleeding, cut up on the thorns Soldier on Everything was wrong All my hope was gone But it feeds me, the hunger is strong XXX I am the seed that surfaced Patiently seeking purpose Fated to be malnourished Hating my peers who flourished Slow tide, cold breeze above me Low flying bees just stung me No mind should feel unworthy Coax my beliefs to love me XXX Crown the gaffes and frame the madness Doubt will pass, just bear the sadness Every lapse brings wisdom’s chances Ditch the past’s grim circumstances Train the mind to dodge the bullets Cross the mines and wander through it Take the time to start a new you Stop the vices that consume you XXX Soldier on I will see the dawn I may hit the wall I’m resilient, so I will respawn Soldier on Everything was wrong I’ve been shit upon Hasn’t killed me, and that’s why I’m strong XXX

Crazy Cacophony
Save me from all that ails me I’m always failing My tangled blooms need a paring Lately my mind is racing I’m sideways facing This parachute needs replacing XXX Why aren’t my options open? Why is my conscience crowing? I’ve docked, the water’s frozen I’m not alarmed I’m irate All the best words are spoken All of these rungs seem broken I’m swapping fun for boredom Caught in a harsh mental state XXX Talk to me Or take a shot at me Just like a lottery My life’s a crazy cacophony Pray for me Or stay away from me Just dig a grave for me And I will lay here with all my dreams XXX Wake me When life’s less crazy When light leads day here When heavy moods don’t impair me Fate seems To fucking hate me Give me a break, dear I pressed reboot while still saving XXX Why are my spikes ferocious? My grasp at life’s atrocious Space blank for diagnosis I’m not insane but I’m close Why isn’t silence golden? Sipped hell now I am choking Tripped, fell, now lie here broken I got the pain that I chose XXX Caution me Do what you want with me Break the monotony My life’s a crazy cacophony Pray for me Or stay away from me Just dig a grave for me And I will lay here with all my dreams XXX

Magic Potion
Please enjoy my latest track which is available as a free download! Lyrics are below: I’m not ok My palette’s black, white and grey Sadness fills up my day Chances spit in my face Sadly I know despair Madness sits second chair I grapple with fear and shame Got the wrong DNA Badly XXX I wander in mist And I punch walls with my fist I’ve drunk poison for my thirst Empty space fills my lungs daily I keep logs and long lists Of my deep flaws and wrong twists It just feels wrong to exist I behave how the world made me XXX Pour me A magic potion Apply some lotion Soothe the pain I suffer Throw me To the ocean Calm my emotion Put my brain together XXX I am enslaved I carry more than I weigh I’m startled and feeling scared Habits call out my name Loudly I’m firing flares I think my mind needs first aid A three month line for the pain Ease the anger I wear Proudly XXX I’m not quite convinced Got a fine frog from a prince Tend to jog more than I sprint Out of breath still I get nowhere I’m awkward at things And I can’t stop catching sins I just bob up then I sink In my head I’m distressed mostly XXX Pour me A magic potion Apply some lotion Soothe the pain I suffer Throw me To the ocean Calm my emotion Put my brain together

Wildest Dreams
Make me numb Fill my glass up with rum Many hands have turned Can’t forget what I’ve done Fucking pound the drum Turn the volume right up Let the horsemen come Can’t correct this with words uttered XXX My deeds won’t let me go They’re feasting on my soul They’ve seeped inside this hole Can’t get clean from all this soap The seasons come and go But leaves still clog the flow They’re reaching from below Cut me free or hoist the rope XXX The storm won’t rest And I can’t pay my debt Here in this sea I’m wet And I think such heavy thoughts I keel The river gleams Here in my wildest dreams But I can’t be redeemed My God I’d tell you I’m sorry if you could hear XXX Make it stop Make the blood in me clot Pick apart the knots Let the maggots fall off Still my conscience rots I am haunted by thoughts My tomorrow’s robbed And I’m tangled in thorns stinging XXX I’m feeble, weak and slow And reaping what I sow I’m teaching grief to grow Can’t be healed of settled woe My feelings eat me whole They tease apart my soul Chase peace I’ll never know Can’t be cleared of what I owe XXX The storm won’t rest And I can’t pay my debt And both my feet are wet And I think such heavy thoughts I scream The river gleams Here in my wildest dreams But I can’t be redeemed Oh God I’d tell you I’m sorry if you were here XXX

Take Me To Wonderland
I trample through a wilderness Where nothing soothes me of my stress Might something cure these twitching nerves An ampule full of happiness please XXX Laugh if you’ve gotta I’m drowning in vodka Weighed down to the bottom Rocks in pockets deep Seems I’ve forgotten Each thing I’ve been offered It’s yours if you want it So rock me off to sleep XXX So will you take me to Wonderland? I’d like to escape Yeah well that’s the plan But poke me or shake me if fun turns bad And if I go crazy Please make me calm, man XXX I’m trapped behind a wooden fence Where nothing happens that makes sense Could someone tell the universe These circumstances cause distress XXX Can’t cope with my problems I’m choking on vomit I know I’m neurotic There’s bedlam in this head I wept through the beatings And slept through proceedings Suppressed my true feelings I’m seldom not depressed XXX So will you take me to Wonderland? I’d like to go play In another land I make these mistakes so I’ll understand So close all the drapes and untuck the latch now XXX

Fucking Blew It
Baby I miss you daily My symptoms vary But I think you’re the one for me And lately been feckin’ crazy One-petal daisy I’m just this fool who runs from fear XXX The direction I’m facing And grenades I’ve been placing Leave the walkway unstable So I freeze and cannot move I’ve been contemplating These mistakes I’ve been making The missteps that I’ve taken They still lead me back to you XXX So let me hit pause ‘Cause I’ve done everything wrong And I’ve waited too long And my best chances are gone, fucking blew it Show me my flaws I’ll strive to change them No matter the cost I’ll make repayments Hit a brick wall I’ll try to scale it Show me the way to come home XXX Baby I’m such a failure Scold my behaviour I’d be a fool to part with you I’m faithful And my body’s grateful So don’t make this painful I gotta lose this attitude XXX In a bad situation I succumb to temptation Try to vent my frustration But crawl back to what I know Keep me under sedation Dreaming for the duration Pleading for that sensation I’ll be back before you know XXX So let me hit pause ‘Cause I’ve done everything wrong And it wasn’t my fault But my best chances are gone, fucking blew it Show me my flaws I’ll rearrange them No matter the cost You keep the change then Give me the choice I’ll try to make it Show me the way to come home XXX

Sick Bitch!
Part of the "Whatever Happened To Candy Cane?" rock opera, this song is by Cindy/Candy Cane XXX I stuck a chord with Orcus cheering Sank the yacht I crossed his stream in All my options disappearing Fucked my problems with no feeling Thoughts grow spiteful with the seasons Got an eyeful of my demons All my rivals now are bleeding Fuck that guy I once believed in XXXX I’m a sick bitch! You can lick this! Check my hit list You might be on it! I’m a sick bitch! Twisted princess Mind your business This child has fallen XXXX I fell right in the empty ocean Jettisoned pesky emotion Mom and dad have since disowned me Drugs and violence kept me going I sank beneath disaster slowly I won’t be my father’s trophy Chased that rabbit down its hole These shameful habits now console me XXXX I’m a sick bitch! You can lick this! Be my witness Sign my warrant I’m a sick bitch! Twisted princess Keep your distance I’m abhorrent! XXXX

Sibling Symphony
This is my latest song for the "Whatever Happened To Candy Cane?" album, it is a duet between Max and Cindy (a brother and sister) who are trying to find each other in the post-acopalyptic wastelands of Fallout New Vegas. Any volunteers to sing the part of Cindy please get in touch! I am currently working on her side of the story so I'll have that up soon! Lyrics: (Max) Tonight Under this moonlight I’m just a fool right? I hear the mirth and the laughter (Cindy) Tonight I miss those good times I’m Miss Can’t-Do-Right I’m here a pretty disaster XXX (Max) Barefoot I crossed a dessert to find her The pain in my sole An ever-present reminder (Cindy) Hate looked and saw a perfect disciple The space in my soul Makes being unpleasant delightful XXX CHORUS (Max) Sister, I miss you sister I hear you whisper Like you were here Oh (Cindy) Brother, I miss you brother There is no other Would search for me Ooh XXX (Max) Victims Since we were children This murky system Just suffocates your desires (Cindy) Kid in A world forbidden This rusty cistern Just flushed my veins, got me higher XXX (Max) Hard beds, mean men in filthy bordellos I’ll still bring you home No matter what the expense is (Cindy) My head’s bereft of all my mementos The girl from the cove Now carries sad consequences XXX

Light The Beacons
I wander far from safety Walk corridors that scare me My thoughts harangue me daily My problems stack high My conscience drives me crazy I’m tortured by my failings I’m running out of patience I’m not a bad guy XXX Drive the demons from me Time’s not healing my grief Starve the fever in me Can you hear me? Knife the creature in me Life’s great heel’s upon me Bribe the dealer for me Light the beacons now XXX My choices liberate me And almost vindicate me But voices still berate me Snap that padlock Walk water when the sail’s bent Cut corners on the pavement Take drugs for entertainment Strike the matchbox XXX Drive the demons from me Time’s not healing my grief Starve the fever in me Can you heal me? Knife the creature in me Life’s great heel’s upon me Bribe the dealer for me Light the beacons now
