"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain-
An original song written and performed by me - I created the video using an old stills camera, Maya and After Effects. I hope you like it.
Create Myself
I loath the fight but the fight loves me
Beautiful blisters the bark of this tree.
A punch in a kiss my life's on one knee
Under this skin's hardened harmony.
I would rather kiss the brink and smile
Using the best of my worst mile
Than lie in cold arms forever thinking,
"Could I have flown through this?"
I make myself -- I break myself
Take some time unwrap this life
And recreate myself.
I make myself -- I break myself
Take some time unwrap this life
I create myself.
Worn rubber hard ground,
Damaged skin life bound.
Dead fingers fumbling found
The next chance not to come around.
I waste my own time
This mind is doing fine
I won't sell
Unmade memories.
I make myself -- I break myself
Take some time unwrap this life
And rewrite myself.
I make myself -- I break myself
Take some time unwrap this life
I create myself.
There are no clean skins here
These words were born old.
I'll cast them out in tears
Then destroy the mould.
A shadow's kicking inside,
I'll starve it before it holds my heart.
Light up this mechanism, this blood machine.
I make myself -- I break myself
Take some time unwrap this life
And recreate myself.
I make myself -- I break myself
Take some time unwrap this life
I create myself.
I blew of both wings with one shot
Stapled my mouth I didn't drop.
I ripped up my pride I still flew,
I am me through and through.
And I'll smile through all this pain because it's all so beautiful.

This is a live performance of a song I've written called RECALL. It's not the finest performance, there's a few mistakes and I get the words wrong, but there ya go, I guess Im due my own recall enhancement program.
RECALL:
If you could see, life through me, you'd drop your frowns and smirks you'd be free.
If you knew love, like I knew love, take back the fears and muck and blood,
shed them now, we'll never be down 'again...
You'll never drag us down again.
2cnd
If you could see, life (as) me; you'd only see yourself and be free
You think you're above, you wanna be big, but-stompin-on-me-aint-no-way-to 'get... kicks,
I get my thrills by knowing the game, seeing through illusions and droppin' pain.
You wanna be better, you wanna be right, you wanna control me but thats your plight,
It's all right, it's ll right, it's alright!
3rd
You think I'm weird you think Im strange, perplexedly expectant, it'so simple and plain:
you're missin' you , you fear in me, and I see you run the other way.
Whatever I do, you miscontrue, you think it's something else you're blind.
So I give up, I'll just be me, I'll do this for myself just to see what I find.
What I find, What I find- 'I'm findin; me.
Chorus
And you've forgotten to look all around you
And you've forgotten to appreciate the new
And you've forgotten to look all around you
And you've forgotten to appreciate the new
you're due a recall...
(repeat intro riff)
next verse:
4th
If you could see, what I see, you'd only see yourself clear, free,
If you knew love, was all around, you'd surely trade blame for the profound,
We call it projection, angry interjections; pointed fingers it's all your fault.
Misperception and go go gloves, get them off and fuck the love.
You wanna hit; me.... you blink and I'm gone, smiling; round corners, no harm done.
Tell me- I'm -wrong lacking- and- bad, talk of parts missing, tell me Im mad,
tell me- Im different tell me Im low', tell me whatever gets you through it
but know this:
Your insults 'don't 'much 'count, if I don't..... agree.
chorus
And you've forgotten to look all around you
And you've forgotten to appreciate the new
And you've forgotten to look all inside of you
And you've forgotten to unlock the new
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You're due a recall...
