So I've been told just to let it go can't do it on my own stop trying to take control what the fuck do I know I don't run the show and those who choose to go always die alone The air in my lungs is just enough I already know that I'm all fucked up I tore it out because that's what I wanted If I couldn't kill it then you would've won this Told me I had a hole in my soul where the seeds of my sorrows were sown earned my seat for all my trouble I couldn't trust myself on my own just play pretend until it makes sense it doesn't work unless you work it admit my powerlessness find your God as I understood him The air in my lungs is just enough I already know that I'm all fucked up I tore it out because that's what I wanted If I couldn't kill it then you would've won this I've always known just what I want I've got my own cross to bear I'm only half of who I was the other drowned back there for something and someone so fucking false made of plastic and thin air I never could quite forgive myself but I could learn not to care

Suffer 04:45
Maybe it was all a bad dream guess nothing's how it seems you don't have to believe in me but no light at the end of any tunnel is coming had to find my place couldn't do it with any grace you can't save your face and change at the same time least not in my case had to crawl through all the shit to get any of this had to get sick of losing to win had to be lost to be found to begin with so I've got a disease nothing new now I've got three there isn't a cure or a remedy but I'm feeling fine up off my knees I lost a lot of time looking back at what got lost along the line and if you got left behind then maybe you belong there I already got mine It doesn't hurt anymore and I know it could be round the corner the thirst for more that I know from before but I've been getting stronger I'm not the first but now I know for sure sometimes we have to suffer And no light at the end of any tunnel is coming

You are not me and I'm not you now I turned it all inside out And all that you lost I still haven't found when I cut you out, wanted to take me down It wasn't easy no still feels wrong I'll keep the pressure on a little longer I tried too hard to hold on well letting go of you felt so much better Letting go of you felt so much better still feels wrong You don't own me now and I don't care where you've gone you can't use me now and I dont care where you've gone you can't rape me now and I don't care where you've gone you can't break me now and I don't care where you've gone I don't care where you've gone still feels wrong

Perfume 04:10
Have you been waiting patiently? I see you on the other side of the room and I know just what you want to do with me like a ghost in the way that you move through feel like someone just walked over my grave dancing over my heart in your favourite shoes Can't resist the sweet scent of your perfume cigarette smoke that you blew me a kiss through you can taste from me if I can taste from you if you wanted to all through the night and all through the next life too I'm inflicted with a sickness and its all because of you and your perfume

Worm 02:40
Sitting on a pedestal they built for you its a shame you were so easily disproved removed from the throne as living proof you get what you deserve in the end don't you? Now you're running for the nearest exit safer to run than to man up and face it you talk a good game but I don't fucking buy it from a worm like you that's up to its neck in shit A worm like you Watch how it slithers away fat bloated naked and ashamed it buries into the ground to hide its wretched face dig it up I want to watch it squirm hold it up I want to hear it learn light it up and watch it burn away shut it up its got nothing left to say A worm like you

Broken Parts 05:10
Lost a lot, not the same missing things but I'm okay I just woke up in a different place gather thoughts what else to bring there's danger here I hear you say dangers everywhere same as always you patched me up with what remained and who I was slipped away You rebuilt from broken parts and it feels alright yeah misery machine replaced my heart and it beats just fine yeah guess we better try to make a start and its one straight line yeah you rebuilt me from broken parts and it feels alright yeah From broken parts You rebuilt from broken parts and it feels alright yeah misery machine replaced my heart and it beats just fine yeah guess we better try to make a fucking start and its one straight line yeah you rebuilt me from broken parts and it feels alright

After A Girl 03:07
Fashion victim in a suicide room sex machine to an oxygen booth if you've got the money there's a fume for you that'll take the edge of the sharpest suit well dressed liar on the tv screen selling you shit that you don't fucking need there's a war going on in the world they just built a bomb and they named it after a girl They just built a bomb and they named it after a girl they just built a bomb and they named it after a... Everyone just trying to get by then a missile strike drops out the sky the lights came down and the fire went high looks like we didn't get out on time the girl was built for city life she's dressed to kill and ignite the night I can hear her cumming from the wrong side sounds a lot like goodnight and goodbye They just built a bomb and they named it after a girl they just built a bomb and they named it after a...

There is a serpent in the burden of me it doesn't offer you anything but the truth growing with the trees but the truth isn't what you want when their lies come so cheap so you can believe in anything so long as they agree its time you open your eyes and wake up from your sleep the shadows you are so afraid of are from the light you refuse to see The abyss is only knee deep where angels fear to fly won't you step over it with me we can make it to the other side with one lie after the other they'll seize what's left of you I want for you to remember how to break a lie with a truth

about

Derelict is a demo quality home recorded album best listened to with headphones at a high volume.

For anyone who might be interested:

Derelict is far from perfect, as the title implies. It is perhaps even far reaching to claim that this album is a demo standard of audio quality in the present day, at least in my opinion. If I could make one request to any listener that happens by, it would be to approach this music with an open mind and to hold no more of an expectation as one may have for a live recording of an unsigned band or a demo tape recorded in a garage somewhere. As for my voice, I am not a singer, I have just made use of my voice to attempt to service my songs as best I can. I do not regard myself as a musician or particularly talented with any specific instrument.

This home recorded album is a culmination of everything I have learned and equally, it is also an example of everything I still have to learn, personally and musically.
