Insomnia
Genres: Indie, Metal, Pop, Rock, Progessive
Well here we are again my friend Just you and me and centre stage Now one of us must slay the other Or nothing else will be the same Another bunch of wasted hours That's time I'm never getting back And now it's falling to dimentia I'm hearing things that make no sound The first of many waves of tension And pretty soon my blood will boil Another bunch of wasted hours That's time I'm never getting back I've been unawake all night The demon kept me company We played chess and danced the tango The demon was too good for me Another bunch of wasted hours That's time I'm never getting back

Oh enemy of life and friend of Death I wrote a piece devoted to your force You thief of all my youth and all my breath A swallower of everything you source You end our lives and steal without remorse And leave behind a world of anxious fear So people eye the heavens for recourse Upon a revelation, shed a tear Time, I hate you. Let me be this year (yes, it's a spenserian)

Broken
Genres: Indie, Metal, Rock
No more heartache and pain gonna come my way Coz you’re all gonna stay an arms length away This is me evolving With a dried up throat gonna swallow my pride But I’m not gonna run and I’m not gonna hide This is me controlling Gonna keep my guard and my silver shield Coz I know of the sticks and stones you wield This is me evolving Gonna watch your movements like a hawk Gonna follow your eyes with a tiger stalk This is me controlling Gonna keep my friends and family close Gonna serve all the rest with an anger dose This is me evolving With a hardtop shell and a thorny side Gonna barge and swim through the haters tide This is me controlling With a new found force gonna build my strength Gonna seek and destroy you at any length This is me evolving

Underneath The Light
Genres: Electronic, Metal, Rock
Blood red neon flashing upon black leather collars bearing glimmering silver studs. Dark figures of brown matted fur, laughing their hideous breath through razor teeth. I see things that aren't there Mist shrouded graves of rotting soil hiding the decomposed horrors below. Wicked green blades sway as markers, indicating death and fear . I see things that aren't there Tortured chains sway, resonating the hideous screach of a rusty blade. Red brown steel rots away the bloody evidence of it’s victims past. I see things that aren't there Black giants leering hungrily over innocent helpless youth Hissing violently with hate and revulsion at their freedom and happiness. I see things that aren't there A stroll through the dark is a walk in the park. How I love my imagination.
