Drug of Hate
Here's a short one from my past, I will post audio soon enough. Any comments most appreciated.
Ill fly away with my drug of hate,
Fall asleep, hope its not too late,
To find the places in my mind
That latent consciousness seems to hide.
Every day I wonder why,
Time slows down and birds can fly,
To places held behind the door,
While Im asleep on the floor.
Quickly think of things to say,
Talk of good times far away,
From the couch you sit on now
And the life you have laid down.
Laid down, Laid down,
Laid down.
Waking up with a taste of hate,
Failing memory of the late
Hours lost in doped time,
Tell yourself itll be just fine.
Choruses heal all troubled minds,
Thoughts are soothed in rhythmic rhyme,
Illuminates the paths we choose,
Rock & Roll, Punk and the Blues.
And the blues, And the blues,
And the blues.

Why Pretend?
let me know what you think, cheers.
Oh no; I used to be,
Someone good, someone free.
Now I know Im Im a little strange
but I cant go back now the rules have changed.
If I follow my underground sound itll,
pull me in and pin me down
and Ill be someone new,
someone you would like to do,
a favour for a pretty friend,
Dorian Gray, yeah? Ill pretend!
Ill hunt you down, Ill call you out,
Ill make you scream my name
for that there is no doubt,
and well lie. Stoned, while we are drained.
Well sweat, well sleep, well smile, well sing,
well start again.
And if tomorrow, you find me out, well,
the deed is done and Im heading out.
And youve seen through the lies,
through the ageless disguise,
just rip it off and let me see
if my smile still can hang free.
Chorus
Change the way you think of madness,
although your eyes cant see.
Take your brush and paint your futures canvas
Itll be the death of me.
Check the stains on your dirty mattress,
Its for the world to see,
You may rule the filth you mastered,
You wont rule me.
Horror show; cant let it go,
Ive lived so long Ive fused my bones to my soul.
Now I know Im Im all to blame.
Face the facts cause youd do the same!
If you follow your underground sound youll
Crack the smile that will please the crowd
And youll be no-ones tool,
there is always one to fool,
to your end, whats to offend?
Dorian Gray, yeah? Ill pretend.
