1.	Higher, Further, Faster 04:34	lyrics	buy track
You tell me I’m no good You tell me it’s not my place I do it anyway You tell me I’m not strong You try to knock me down I get back up; I’m made of tougher stuff Quiet and unseen That’s how you want it to be But I’ve got strength you’ve never seen I’m going Higher, further, faster than ever before I’m reaching higher, further, faster than I have before I'm going higher, further, faster Fighting with one hand Tied behind my back I’m breaking free from that I am not a blueprint. I am not a mold. I’m living my life, not doing what I’m told I’m kinda done with you Telling me what I can’t do I used to hold myself back Now I’m letting go; no more rules; I know the truth I don’t have to prove anything to you
2.	What A Vision 03:01	lyrics	buy track
It's so idyllic, isn't it? A perfect vision The perfect dream; just you and me Like on the television The world outside doesn't exist There's nothing more important than this I just want what everyone else has Why can't I have what everyone else has? Isn't it just peachy keen? This ideal small town life Framed so perfectly Everyone knows their line The world outside can wait There's nothing's that can interfere again I just want what everyone else has Why can't I have? We've got everything we need Just the way its meant to be No one can take this away This is the way it's going to be I'll handle it I just want what everyone else has Why can't I have? I just want what everyone else has Why can't I have what everyone else has?
3.	Sorry 03:46	lyrics	buy track
I’m sorry for the things I said I know I got kind of mad Things got a little out of hand Tempers and words got heated You hit me with the blue shell It all went to hell Slipped from first, overtaken Victory you celebrated Exploded like a bob-omb Started dropping f bombs Started out so well Now it’s going all wrong It’s on me. I wasn’t at my best Kind of turned possessed Said somethings that I regret Can we move on and forget? You know I love you more than any words I could express So maybe we don’t play Mario Kart again I’m sorry for the things I said I know I got kind of mad Things got a little out of hand Tempers and words got heated You had me in your sights A red shell blew sky high Thunderstrike and miniaturized Just about to cross the line Lost my temper Screaming bloody murder Now I’m falling behind That doesn’t make it right I wasn’t at my best Kind of turned possessed Said somethings that I regret Can we move on and forget? I baked you this cake to say I’m sorry Hoping you’ll accept this apology Let's hide the cartridge somewhere we won't find it So we don't end up in couples' therapy
4.	Nest To Fly To 03:37	lyrics	buy track
Lately I’ve been feeling a change Something’s not the same Just going through the motions Not living for the moment 52 weeks a year on the road With no place to call my own Life is short as it is I want something more than this I wanna be free to be free I want to live life so simply I want a nest to fly to A home to go to And maybe that could be with you Do you want that too? Lately I’ve been realising things How unfulfilling life can be I’m noticing all the little things That make the world happy I want to take a few days And find beauty in the mundane Sometimes we over complicate it But if you want something you’ve got to go for it The future doesn’t come with any guarantees Seize your moment and choose to see Sometimes what you want is right in front of you Realise it before it's too late to
5.	Ordinary 03:27	lyrics	buy track
Standing on the sidelines of history Nothing special about me Unable to reach the benchmark Or break into your heart I didn’t choose this life I’m just living it Making the best of it Making myself something more Ordinary in an extraordinary world But if you believe in yourself Great things are gonna happen for you Ordinary in an extraordinary world But if you believe you’re special Great things are gonna happen for you Working twice as hard To get half as far I just wanted a little time and attention A little love and affection I didn’t choose this life I’m just living it Making the best of it Making myself special to someone else I’m not the hero you wanted me to be I’m extraordinary in spite of all you did to me I bear the scars and marks Of lies and secrecy And I’m learning now There’s nothing wrong with being ordinary
6.	Ended 03:09	lyrics	buy track
The stories ended The final chapter done Nothing left to say Time to move on Can't I stay in this moment? Stay a bit longer with you? Cause this is the place where you used to be Now I'm lost; wandering hopelessly Searching for meaning in this world Now you've gone away There's a void in my heart Where you used to fit And I can't imagine Anything fitting it Now you're gone; we're done Searching for a way to carry on How you made me feel I believed this way real Will I ever feel I want to feel this way again
7.	One Of Those Days [Explicit] 03:24	lyrics	buy track
Today is one of the hard days One of the long days Where nothing seems to go my way And I’m giving myself all the blame Unexpectedly tired I can’t turn these feelings off While anxiety is beating me up How do you escape when your mind’s a prison? Over thinking every feeling I’d like to come and play but I’m feeling a little low today I’ll probably say I’m fine; I’ll say I’m okay But no matter what I do or say It seems to be one of those days Oh God, fuck this jerkbrain Today is one of the hard days One of the long days Where thoughts are running through my brain And I can’t make them go away Sitting in the dark, lights on low Cause it feels like my head is gonna blow Losing track of time While my mind is racing by How do you escape when your mind’s a prison? Second guessing every decision Fuck this jerkbrain I want the thoughts to go away
8.	Gatekeeper 02:56	lyrics	buy track
Having innocent fun Not hurting anyone ‘Til someone comes along And tells us we’re doing it wrong You can’t do this You can’t do that You don’t know your facts So this is not for you You can’t come And play inside Its just not right No out running the gatekeeper Answer these Questions three To prove your worth Cause I’m the gatekeeper There’s hoops to jump through And some kind of test too There’s always one Spoiling all the fun So we’ll go and make our own fun Over here So you run along
9.	Dolores 03:26	lyrics	buy track
I’ve seen the end of the world The death of us all Enough to drive a person insane But you kept it all at bay Time changes everything But you stayed the same You were there beside Every step of the way My whole world was a wasteland All I had was you and me And if this all goes sideways I want you to know I’m sorry I’ve seen the end of the world The death of us all And if I can undo it all I’ll find you, where ever you are All the years of solitude I couldn’t do it without you Of all the things I’ve had to comprehend Its you in the end No matter the time I’ll come right back to you You are the constant Of whatever I’ve been through
10.	Escape 03:13	lyrics	buy track
I want to leave Don't want to stay I've got to getaway Beam me up Out to space Escape I've got to escape Getaway
11.	Hero In Me 03:41	lyrics	buy track
You know my story You’ve heard it before A spider bite That changed it all Now I swing the streets Of a city in need That calls out to me For heroic deeds I wear the mask I save the day I get knocked down And get back up again I know what they say Call me a villain again I’m scared their true No matter what I do CHORUS I don’t know If I’m what they need I don’t know If there’s a hero in me I carry the weight I live with the pain All I see is that day When I failed you again I couldn’t save you I save everyone else I made a promise To make a hero of myself So I wear the mask I save the day I get knocked down And get back up again I’ve made mistakes And I’ll make them again I’ll lay it on the line Fight for right I have all this power But I’ve never felt so weak People are flawed Even heroes like me Another foe to face Another life to save And when the stakes are raised I’ll be there to save the day It’s a leap of faith A choice you make I can hear you say With great power comes great responsibility So I swing the streets Of a city in need That calls out to me For heroic deeds I wear the mask I save the day I get knocked down And get back up again
12.	Until Next Time 03:05	lyrics	buy track
Been feeling lost for days Thinking of all the things I want to say But there’s no way to convey All the things you mean to me But I want to tell you Of all the happiness you gave I hope you know How that will never change We walked this road together Standing side by side Twists and turns, ups and downs Wrong and right Now the journey’s reached its end And we’re parting ways again I’m no good at goodbyes So long; until next time It’s hard to be sad When I think of all the good times that we had Things may not be the same But beautiful memories remain So I want to tell you Thanks for being there And I hope you know Just how much I care And where your path will go I wish you well And I hope we’ll meet again Somewhere along the road
13.	Believe 03:25	lyrics	buy track
I know it feels like no ones in your corner The weight you carry on your shoulders It’s all getting harder But you You’re stronger than you believe And it’s time for you to see How much you’re worth You are beautiful You are wonderful You just have to believe Hold your head up high You are marvelous in your own right I know the brain cannot be kind Tormented by the voice you hear inside But it’s all lies Cause you You’re stronger than you believe And it’s time for you to see How much you’re worth You are the sun in someone’s life You are the reason for someone’s smile You make the world so warm and bright So stand out Cause it’s your time You are beautiful You are wonderful It’s who you are Remember who you are

about

Half of these songs were written and recorded in the early part of 2020 when the pandemic began.
The other half were written during February Album Writing Month 2021.
Both halves came together to try to spread a little joy, a little attitude and a whole lot of nerd rock.

To all my fans and supporters,
LLAP. I frakkin' love you.

Dedicated to my friend Marc, who took me under his wings many, many years ago and always has my back. I'm still doing this because of you.
