Clamp that lock onto your feet, Cold steel chain rattled on the concrete, Drag that weight up and down the street, Head held high because he makes ends meet, When there’s no more meat left on these bones, Pack your bag, find a new home, Subtle in my delivery, As i congratulate you on making ends meet,
But didn’t it get lonely? Didn’t it get a little boring on repeat?
Same excuse time after time, Bank account linked over the wire, Bread and milk and honey bees, Never reluctant to making ends meet, When there’s no more meat left on these bones, A built in escape hatch in a new home, Smothered by consistency, Congratulations on making ends meet,
But didn’t it get lonely? Didn’t it get a little boring on repeat?
After a crazy year i have finally been back in the studio this month. To thank everyone for their amazing feedback, support and patience, the first 3 demos are available to download for FREE from Soundcloud.
Special thanks to Sera Yun who not only played piano on ‘The Perfection of Nothing’ but also helped me think of the name for this project. Sera is a very talented musician who hopefully is going to accept my invitation to become part of the live setup : )
Thank you for all the kind words, messages and emails of support yesterday. It’s exciting to finally have new music out. I’ll be posting more tracks over the next few weeks and trying to figure out how to play all this live.
Once or twice, maybe i was wrong I make it up as i go along And were you busy tonight? Were you utilized?
And the fear keeps coming down, The fear keeps coming down and washing her dream away, Fear keeps coming down, The fear keeps coming down and washing her dream away, Tiny Mistakes are adding up, You’re flustered, unfocused, you’re losing touch
Once or twice, maybe you were right Unwanted babies, alcohol baptized, Under appreciated? Self mutilated?
And the fear keeps coming down, The fear keeps coming down and washing her dream away, And the fear keeps coming down, The fear keeps coming down and washing her dream away, Tiny Mistakes are adding up, Sit back, relax, you’re in his hands now
Pull the wool over your eyes The Perfection of Nothing takes time
Looks like it happened again, What did you do this time? Couldn’t stop myself from raising my voice In trying to make things work, You made them even worse, Don’t look at me like i had a choice She talks about sacrifice, Talks about peace of mind, Doesn’t really take about anything else In looking to place the blame, In looking to heap more of the same, She’s only exposed flaws in herself, I warned her, I told her that…
Its never the changes you want that change everything Reduced to just images cropping up when i least expect it Its never the changes you want that change everything She’s confined to history A memory of a memory
Im ready…
To stumble from love from love, Replacing the new with the old, replacing anything that means Im not alone, So there’s never a lesson to be learnt, Replacing the weak with the strong, Replacing the focus on someone else’s problems I’ll talk about what i want, The constant contradictions,The only constant that i have Like every woman i love, Will always be fucking some guy, That she’s told me about in the past,
Well, in my head anyway…
Its never the changes you want that change everything Reduced to just images cropping up when i least expect it Its never the changes you want that change everything She’s confined to history A memory of a memory
Im ready…
Im ready to let come what may, What does that mean? What exactly does that mean? Does that mean? Because it sounds like more of the same.
Told you there’d be repercussions for running away, That night what did i say? This will come back to haunt us in the end And we can stay and fight, but my hands are tied By shadow politics and tactical lies
We’ll find a place where we can settle down We’ll find a place where we can turn things round We’ll find a place where no one knows Where once doomed love would dare not go
Told you there’d be discussions behind the scenes Yeah it’s a running theme When a means to an end means an end to a friend you know its time to leave And we can run and hide, Crawl in a hole and die Let time and dirt seal our frozen bodies entwined
We’ll find a place where we can settle down We’ll find a place where we can turn things round We’ll find a place where no one knows Where once doomed love would dare not go
You pack the case, Ill change my mind You decide what to take, Ill decide who to leave behind
