Green

Download

Its not what I wanted
To be in this room
Full of preachers
Who don't want to know

Where are the animate?
Their justice is good.

Stare at the hourglass
Frozen and bored
Yield to hegemony
My eyes to the floor

Dead on the tracks
Aimless, bitterness
Green.
Wonderless, emptiness.

Yield to hegemony
Their justice is torn
Facing your enemy
Stuck on the shore

Dead on the tracks
Aimless, bitterness
Green.
Wonderless, emptiness.

Right Time

Download

Where I am cold and lonesome
Where are you?
I hope you're okay
Stop there
Stay where you are
Don't be fooled
You don't know where you're heading to

Looking for the right time
To commit the right crime
You better watch yourself
Coz sometimes you'll open an old wound

My head hurts
I've got needles in my brain
Please stop this torture
Well I guess that you were right
I guess I was wrong

Looking for the right time
To commit the right crime
You better watch yourself
Coz sometimes you'll open an old wound

Leave Everything Behind

Download

Just a demo that had more effort involved than usual. Some off notes and timing issues.

Lyrics

Where do we go from here
The road ahead is clear
It seems like so long
Since we've been home

We've got to be strong
If we make it through
All I know right now
You must leave everything behind

After all is finished
We'll be hard as stone
Jump in and take on the world
They won't know what hit 'em

We've got to be strong
If we make it through
All I know right now
You must leave everything behind

Its getting darker now
The sun makes a silhouette
Buildings all in black
Time to settle down

Caught Between The Start And The End

Download

I couldn't sleep and all I could think of was the title. So I decided to expand, and write a song. Just a demo recorded live using the desktop mic, with some harmonies overdubbed.

Lyrics

I'm caught between the start and end of something
I can't believe this situations happening
As I can see the ends have started fraying
And I am
And I am again..
I'm caught between the start and the end


I don't really know how I got in
It seems there's this rut that I'm stuck in
You keep telling me to get out there
But I am
But I am again..
I'm caught between the start and the end

Overload

Download

This is another song I wrote before I moved to Sydney. I'm not sure if its complete, but I really like it.

I recorded it really late one evening using my computer desktop mic. It doesn't sound too bad, considering!

I know a lot of people who tend to overload themselves with work, emotions, homework, whatever! I do it too, and that's what its about.

In Loving Memory Of

Download

This is a song I wrote just before I moved to Sydney. Its only a demo recording, but I thought I would upload it anyway :)

It was recorded live in my lounge room using two SM57s. I only have one boom mic stand, so I had one mic on a stand at my mouth with a pop filter in front of it. The other microphone, funnily enough, was sitting in an empty tissue box, about a foot from the guitar, aimed at where the neck meets the body.

The song itself is about two people I've known in my life that have died suddenly. They were both unexpected deaths, and both very young. I didn't know them very well, but I did feel overwhelming sadness on both occasions.
