Lyric writing, making music and the creative process
I’m a lost soul
Can’t find my way home
I’m trapped inside this dome
My dreams are steel and chrome
I can’t call you on the phone
I’m a dog without a bone
I’m the moon I’m outshone
The darkest king on a black throne
An asteroid cold stone
Can you really be alone
A note an undertone
I’m a leaf ready to be blown

People are sick of war
They’re sick of hawks and eagles
Unspeakable evils
Lines drawn across a living room floor
Sick of the rat race
White goods and black arms
Fast lanes going nowhere fast
Can’t even make a warm embrace
People are sick of communication
A web of lies a web of hurt
Confusion drawn from bloodlust
Invoking dreams to depths of abrasion
No one will lead with utmost clarity
Moral fibre and careful thoughts
Everybody is owned everyone bought
No more heroes leading through insanity

All we do is fight
Yeah and that’s not right
So I stretch my wings now
Don’t hold on too tight
Silly Jokes and the cover up
Always hiding behind the sugar rush
Trying way to hard to be someone
When all I need is to be as one
Be yourself
Before it’s too late
Shout it out
From the Empire State
You’ve something to say
Say it well
Don’t be careful
Of the stories you sell

Old friends
Drinking Jack and black
Talking old times
The needle and the race track
The girls are so much prettier now
They rip your heart up somehow
The music sounds all the same
No rock and roll loud guitars playing
I don’t mean to be mean
We’re not digging this scene
Going to start a revolution
Revolution of the in between
Where we’re going no one knows
We’re okay as long as love grows
Love grows like a wildflower
So bury me there at sunset hour

I’m an angry man
Got a beef with you
The only way out
Fight my way through
I want to use words
All I do is shout
Go to hell boys
Clean my mouth out
Everyone’s against me
No one sees my side
I need some understanding
If I’m to survive
My hearts so big
Pressures building now
Punching the wall
Need a release somehow
Don’t give your hand
No high fives
Fist bumps or arms
Around my shoulders
Don’t tell me what to do
or where to go
How to live
or what to say
I’m okay
I’m all right
Take a look in your mirror
once or twice tonight
Are you ready
Are you ready for the fight

You might think I’m crazy
You might say I’ve lost my mind
Someone’s going to save me
Help me search what I need to find
I’ve been looking high and low
North, south, east and west
Through the stars in the fire glow
Every step with no regrets
I know I’m gonna find
What we are looking for
We don’t need to climb a mountain
It’s nothing but a hill to me
We don’t need to cross every ocean
Rocket ships will set us free
What we become is pure emotion
That’s all we are eventually
Hold the hand of your devotion
How far ahead can we see

We can be lovers
Or we can be friends
Who can tell baby
Where the story ends
We can take chances
On the roll of a dice
Love can make you happy
At least once or twice
I’m not trying
To win this race
Getting close to you
It’s a hopeless case
I might have a go
And work on you again
We can be okay
If we decide how it ends
We can be okay
We can be okay
It’s a beautiful night
Even when the rain
Falls softly down
Theres a feeling in the air

I met a good friend today
Sitting on the steps
Taking a rest
We’d plenty to say
The old days were our best
Punch your fist on our heart and on our crest
We came home together
Tired men and nothing less
To make a new start
From someone else’s mess
In between the war machine
We forget what we have seen
It’s obscene and it’s extreme
What does it mean to kill your brother
It’s a bad dream
We built walls
And desert roads
Drank cherry coke
Played station games
Wait for the call
Call to load
Shoot off smoke
Watch for the flames

If you know
You know what to do next
Talk to her
Show her all your respect
It’s not just a one time thing
It’s not just a Queen to a King
There’s a connection
In her big brown eyes
If it’s your intention
To tell no lies
You can’t run forever
Will you just take a chance
Act time clever
For the sake of romance
There’s fear in your eyes
A fire in your heart
Winning happens to he who tries
To make a kickstart

The good stuff flows
The night it grows
Louder and louder
Deeper and deeper
The bell tolls
Last drinks sold
Moves are bold
Who’s the sleeper
One plus one is two
What we gonna do
Between the here and now
I’ll take you home somehow
It’s not a stretch
To love the press
And the push
Of the flesh
It’s our quest
We won’t rest
Until the flush
Is gone more or less
Oh we digress
Aroma fresh
Summer nights
They’re the best
We express
With no regrets
Something’s right
A beautiful light
Our youthfulness
We don’t see the future
We’re blinded by the sound
What’s wrong with this
Caught up in the now
