Welcome to the Canvas 04:36

Welcome to the canvas, here you shall paint your masterpiece No one will hand you the brushes and the colours aren't for free The palette here is endless, all emotion at your fingertips So welcome to the canvas, your life has led you up to this This is your life to live, this is your gift to give There's no such thing as perfection, to err is human after all Don't be afraid of rejection, there's no improvement without a fall Just believe in you and your dreams will come true soon Look at all the good you can do if your mind is right in tune We're all so full of love, no reason to push and shove [Guitar solo] [Trombone solo] So welcome to the canvas, your life has led you up to this We're all so full of love, no reason to push shove This is your life to live, this is your gift to give

It's a Crime to Be Young 03:02
lyrics

It's a crime to be young They expect you to know everything without learning Everywhere you go It's a crime to love You're told if you are a giver you're just too good to be true In everything you do They think if you wanna be on top you're too complicated If you want the simple things you're so un-sophistocated Now I can see why ma and pa are so jaded It's a crime to be old They tell you, "we've heard your story so many times before" Then wonder why they don't know They think if you wanna be on top you're too complicated If you want the simple things you're so un-sophistocated Now I can see why ma and pa are so jaded, so frustrated If you love a simple life you're expecting too much If you love the grind each day you're working into dust Don't take no bets, you will never have good luck [Guitar solo] It's a crime to be Anything you want to be if it's not what they say you be Definitely

When the World Closes In on You 04:37
lyrics

And you tell there's no way, as I search for the words to say There will always be a better day, there will always be a reason to stay I can feel what you're feeling, a bullet ripping straight through the soul Dead of the night, pained and kneeling, screaming "I can't take anymore" This is only temporary, now don't you back away Sometimes pain is necessary, it makes you stronger every day Every day When the world closes in on you, it is crucial to be true If you're still looking for a clue, just keep trying through and through Don't ever give up, don't ever give in, don't ever surrender Don't ever think twice, just do what feels right, this storm you can weather You will know what to do, when the world closes in on you [Electric piano solo] [Synth solo] I can feel what you're feeling, a bullet ripping straight through the soul Dead of the night and you're bleeding, screaming "I can't take anymore" This is only temporary, now don't you back away Sometimes pain is necessary, it makes you stronger every day Every day When the world closes in on you, it is crucial to be true If you're still looking for a clue, just keep trying through and through Don't ever give up, don't ever give in, don't ever surrender Don't ever think twice, just do what feels right, this storm you can weather You will know what to do, you will know what to do

Families 03:14
lyrics

A hard working lady who's never seen the good Her baby is dyin', had to help her all she could "There must be something more, something more," their favourite words to share "What is this life for, this life for, happy faces we will never wear "We'll make it through together, mother, can't you see So many nights of stormy weather, but it's you and me So forget the world's vendetta on our family Tomorrow's anything you want it to be" Yes it is, now "It's a miracle, my mother, walking on my own two feet Now I have a chance, have a chance to get out of the streets However, one thing I have noticed, we all make a sacrifice And to find a path that suits me, for this I cannot think twice" "I'll make it on my own, mother, can't you see Hush and go to sleep now, it won't hurt you more than it hurts me There must be one less member of the family Your leaving is key now to get me out of poverty" Go to sleep I hear your breath, won't you stop it now I hear your breath, won't you stop it now Stop

Maybe there's some things we just ain't supposed to know Maybe there's some things we just learn to let go Maybe our breakthrough's gonna come, maybe that's good enough for some Maybe there's some things we just ain't supposed to know Maybe there's some things we just ain't supposed to see Maybe there's some things we just ain't supposed to be Tell me how can we have fun, knowin' all under the sun Maybe there's some things we just ain't supposed to see [Bass synth solo] Maybe there's some things we just ain't supposed to know Maybe there's some things we just learn to let go Maybe our breakthrough's gonna come, maybe that's good enough for some Maybe there's some things we just ain't supposed to know Maybe there's some things we just ain't supposed to see Maybe there's some things we just ain't supposed to be Tell me how can we have fun, knowin' all under the sun Maybe there's some things we just ain't supposed to be

I gave it all away, I gave it all away, I gave it all away, cry out for more I gave it all away, I gave it all away, I gave it all away, still you want more When does the lack of an answer become my solution Someone come kill the cancer filling my mind, filling my soul with pollution Day turns to night, and I put up no fight with faith These worries of mine, I’ll just let them wither away ‘Cause I gave it all away, I gave it all away, I gave it all away, still you want more And I wait, yes I wait for the kill Oh to release my heart beguiled Oh but I say ain’t time standin’ still Tear me right down, right down again in style No one to turn to and no bridges left to burn And in my yearning, I cast away the lessons learned ‘Cause I gave it all away, I gave it all away, I gave it all away, still you want more I gave it all away, I gave it all away, I gave it all away, cry out for more

Cry for Help 02:58
lyrics
buy track
To whom it may concern, if you’re reading I am far away Another day I still had hope burning in my heart And then I start to see what this world is for what it’s worth And so it hurts to comprehend the madness in the end Is there something more, something worth living for, just what necessitates us here I’ve been lost before, always found the shore, but now this sea of fear Dear reader, now if you are still present then allow me to confess I am petrified with guilt and doubt I’ve done it wrong, reason void in how I carry on Throughout my life, only now I wonder where’s the light Running nowhere fast, how long can it last, a siren calling here and there I’m the captain now, on the SS Doubt, navigating seas of fear

It Can Not Be Helped (Shikata Ga Nai) 03:55
lyrics
buy track
Just as the sun always sets in the west, just as the baby bird falls from the nest Shikata ga nai, shikata ga nai Waiting for someone who was never there, waiting for love to descend in the air Shikata ga nai, shikata ga nai Pick up the pieces and put them away, that is the love you can give for today Just know it cannot be helped Shikata ga nai, it cannot be helped Shikata ga nai, it cannot be helped Just as the prosperous kingdoms shall ebb, just as a monarch is caught in the web Shikata ga nai, shikata ga nai Hoping you can make some peace with the past, hoping your new love is one that shall last Shikata ga nai, shikata ga nai Here is the world in its glory and dread, the circle of life orbits right around death Live full, for it cannot be helped Shikata ga nai, it cannot be helped Shikata ga nai, it cannot be helped Waiting patiently for my destiny to show itself Oh the time has come, life has just begun, I’m breaking out of the shell I’ll never compromise, I see the truth from lies, and I can tell Shikata ga nai, it cannot be helped Shikata ga nai, it cannot be helped Shikata ga nai, it cannot be helped Shikata ga nai, it cannot be helped

about

In the autumn of 2015 I began writing and recording my own music. In the summer of 2019 I pulled much of it down from streaming services. I was convinced later on to piece the best bits back together. This is the first in a series of albums that resulted from that process. The music on this particular release dates back to parts of 2016 and 2017.
