Lyrics:I got the mindI’d left behindIt’s not in rhymeBut has the rhythmI wandered blindTo learn insightI’m not alrightBut that’s a givenXXXSpooky dreamsHaunt my restAnd glitch my programsThrough the tearsI’ve suppressedI’d sink five oceansLucid screamsNot expressedDictate these vocalsSouvenirsIn my headInflate emotionsXXXI got the mindHard blows de…

Time goes fastBut the emotions lastThey seem a chore to masterLet them lead youThey’ll leave you hangingClimb the mastAnd steer us from the pastWe’ve leaked from shore to harbourLet the sea throughThen seal the damageXXXI’ve wished and bowed and prayedPity sounds delayedDrink these sour grapesSquished into lemonadeI’m wilting by the flameI think my…

Cradle my head just rightMake shapes by the bedroom lightBe patient and well tonightTake care that my health’s alrightTuck in my teddy tightAnd dust where the bed bugs bitePlease say one last precious rhymeAnd waken me when its timeXXXSketch lines I’ll fill with joyTell me I’m your little boyProtect me from hurtful wordsAnd shelter me from the worl…

Lyrics:I am the seed that struggledSewn by the trees I smotheredSo shy with weeds for brothersCO high as breathing sufferedI have belief things might changeHarsh winds will reveal my placePast things did not seal my fateReengineer this nightmareXXXPrick the ground for life’s enduranceEvery cloud holds vital fluidSinking down I’ve primed my rootsI d…

Save me from all that ails meI’m always failingMy tangled blooms need a paringLately my mind is racingI’m sideways facingThis parachute needs replacingXXXWhy aren’t my options open?Why is my conscience crowing?I’ve docked, the water’s frozenI’m not alarmed I’m irateAll the best words are spokenAll of these rungs seem brokenI’m swapping fun for bore…

Lyrics are below:I’m not okMy palette’s black, white and greySadness fills up my dayChances spit in my faceSadlyI know despairMadness sits second chairI grapple with fear and shameGot the wrong DNABadlyXXXI wander in mistAnd I punch walls with my fistI’ve drunk poison for my thirst…

Make me numbFill my glass up with rumMany hands have turnedCan’t forget what I’ve doneFucking pound the drumTurn the volume right upLet the horsemen comeCan’t correct this with words utteredXXXMy deeds won’t let me goThey’re feasting on my soulThey’ve seeped inside this holeCan’t get clean from all this soapThe seasons come and goBut leaves still c…

Baby I miss you dailyMy symptoms varyBut I think you’re the one for meAnd lately been feckin’ crazyOne-petal daisyI’m just this fool who runs from fearXXXThe direction I’m facingAnd grenades I’ve been placingLeave the walkway unstableSo I freeze and cannot moveI’ve been contemplatingThese mistakes I’ve been makingThe missteps that I’ve takenThey st…

Part of the "Whatever Happened To Candy Cane?" rock opera, this song is by Cindy/Candy CaneXXXI stuck a chord with Orcus cheeringSank the yacht I crossed his stream inAll my options disappearingFucked my problems with no feelingThoughts grow spiteful with the seasonsGot an eyeful of my demonsAll my rivals now are bleedingFuck that guy I once believ…

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 …

I wander far from safetyWalk corridors that scare meMy thoughts harangue me dailyMy problems stack highMy conscience drives me crazyI’m tortured by my failingsI’m running out of patienceI’m not a bad guyXXXDrive the demons from meTime’s not healing my griefStarve the fever in me Can you hear me?Knife the creature in meLife’s great heel’s upon meBri…

She left our home and crossed hot landFor reasons most don’t understandHer son won’t know his mum or dadThat kind of hole tears you in halfWe can’t be whole with broken partsThe sun sets cold on unloved heartsMy father told me I’m no manLook dad, I’m roaming the mojaveMy stomach churnsMy flesh turns to dustIn the burning sunBut I press alongSomewhe…

Though the storm keeps blowingThough the rain keeps flowingI will grow old knowingI led the fightThough the days get colderThough I've got no soldiersI will not stop holdingMy head uprightWhen my cries don't find an earI see the darker side of humanityI feel it rise inside of meMy army of one will always fight for meThough my mind is racingWith the…

The forest is ablaze againAnd I'm fanning the flames againI mimed the morning prayer todayThree decades of the rosaryThe weather forecasts rain againThe moon is in its wane againThere's madness on my brain againNo OTC shall mask this painAnd my, what a lovely time I'm havingHow am I to pull a rabbitOut this hat?Chop a shelter with a blunt axe?Grapp…

I cast a lonely shadow but that's alrightMy shoulder cramping through the darkest nightI've been slowly gathering my armamentsTo be a force withstanding all the harm I senseSeems the only way to beat itIs to see it throughAnd the only way to heal itIs to feed the bruiseAnd the only way to freedomIs jumping through the hoopI don't jump so goodDon't …

Death didn’t come with bombsI’m turned to goo insideTread in a muddy pondAnd I’m starting to lose my sightFlesh starts to crack and peelVeins an unhealthy greyFriends turn their backs on meHelp! I’m watching myself decayTell me what’s happening to me!I’m sick like a dog in the streetEyes glowAnd blood pressure’s lowMy whole head’s itching Eyeballs …

Give me poison in my veinsSpray some toxins in my lungsI need some ointment for the painSome soporific for my blood Got the caps let's make the purchaseNo I can't escape its clutchesI go round on makeshift crutchesWorship daily in its churches I need that buzzI need that releaseI'll chase that rushUntil I'm deceased Make me feel niceI’ll have no re…

A Fallout inspired track set during The Great WarLyrics:The papers sayThe bombs are on their wayThe diplomats have failedIf you've a rad-x then take itI close my eyesBefore we're vaporisedAnd all that's sacred diesAnd quickly haver my last goodbyesIt's overI'm frozenHow long before that final explosion?An army poster said "It's all ok"And that "The…

I cast a net and fret thatI will not be eatingI’m not blessed with senseEveryone finds so easyWell I try to press aheadThe water's freezingBeen a better personSince I stopped believingThank godI wish this fear was less frighteningMy best years weren’t behind meWish my tears were inspiringWish these feelings were silencedI wish this man was an islan…

When they fill in my graveAnd the people walk awayI don't want them to prayJust do not forget my name!When my coffin's been laidAnd the writing's been engravedI don't want to rot awayI've got people still to save (save me)I want you passers-byTo acknowledge I'm aliveTo be someone desiredBe fantastic in your eyesI want to be the guyFor whom, no obst…

Something's soured in the nightWe must purge the rye and riceThere's an outage for tonightSlowly snuff the pilot lightBring all the power you can findThere are scoundrels taking sidesA thousand cowards fled the fightIn no towers shall they hideTorch themSmoke them out, shoot the stragglersCatch the spider in its webWhack the viper on the head thenM…

For every ugly little actFor every word that won't take backFor every something there's a reasonAnd a someone feeling badFor every day that falls to wasteLet there be something in its placeLet me know somewhere I can seeThere's fate that I can contemplateOhHow I’m nothing if not uselessThere’s a gulf inside I wander shoelessEvery argument is fruitl…

I see homeAs a dot in the horizonSea waves foamAnd the salt makes my eyes runTorpedoesHit the last boat, the skies burnFrom every side they comeGod damned if the tide won't turnI can't restLullabies cannot soothe meOverheadSummer skies hang on looselyPlaying with deathOne more time he just might choose meI threw everything awayAnd curiously I gazed…

When the night has comeAnd my strength has failedHelp me fire my gunSo I can fight againAt the final chargeWhen I cry in despairWon't you take my handAnd guide me through the frayDon't let me go (let me go)If I want to stayDon't lie to me (lie to me)If I ain't going to make itDon't leave me naked in the dark (in the dark)Be at my side tonightDon't …

Here I amThe task was far from easyYet here I standSo take me as I amI've travelled farA trampled path beneath meI'd give a damnBut I am on my lastNight and dayTil the cut up ends are frayedLight my rageWith a burning trebuchetStrike the cageWhen the storm comesHide in the shadeI don't care!Don't wannaDon't wanna break!The monster's wakenedAnd it i…

I'm thinking of the past too muchKing of the class too muchLinking the paths and structuresThe future I cast a glance too muchIt passes by too muchI cannot pass this junctureI long for where the wind's not blowingThe air is stale and the rain's not flowingI long to see the grass not growingI want to seize the day but I can't hold onI'm dissatisfied…

Break The Curse by Daniel ReillyDaniel Reilly

When I renewBegin againI walk down a new roadWith the same old way stopsI try to chooseI try to changeAll I seem to be doingIs rearranging chaosScrub my neckCancel all my chequesSand down new decksTie up all the little loose endsRhyme off regretsLike the alphabetMake new promisesGrow new skin over the old fleshWherever I goI take the same old steps…

Through The Looking Glass by Daniel ReillyDaniel Reilly

Would you believeI strike the heart of the beastI light up fires with such easeI'd like so bad to succeedBut I have doubtsCaught in the breezeMy frown it gives me a creaseI'm down but not yet deceasedI've got a sting like a beeSo pull it outIt's been an unforgiving journeyIt seems I can fly oh myBut I insist on runningDon't die!I hear the avalanche…

What's wrong with me?Oh I was born in silenceHelp me seeRemove this thorn with pliersThe storm's in meAnd I am worn and wearyI'm all at seaAll hope is disappearingMy life's a gripping bookNo one will readA silver hookWhere hand should beA filthy nooseSlung from a treeThis isn't who I was supposed to beI try to kill the truthBefore it speaksPatch up…

Tonight I'm displeasedMy hurricane starts with a breeze nowThis life force beneath meIs nothing more than broken piecesI hold back, frustratedTry to reel in all that hatredSick of all those smug facesGoing to go where madness takes meWhy I tried I'll never quite decideI hate youNo knight in armour ever by my sideI hate youThis life disaster still t…

I'm a rogue with baby faceI sober as I ageSome bones I just can't chaseThis cold, bad world I cannot faceMy dreams keep me awakeBut lead me to nowhereA bleak and bitter placeMy love, my spirit's going to wasteFar, far away I want to flySpread these wings and say goodbyeMedicate the pain til it's benign or tilThere's silence in my mindHelp me doctor…
