Calling out to the darkness to steal him,
This life hasn’t been fair, I’ve made a few mistakes.
Glowing, you offer me an adventure.
So with this chance now, I take the plunge and accept the escape.
Take me to your Labyrinth
and I’ll play your wicked game.
Take me to your labyrinth
and I’ll never be the same.
I don’t know if I’m awake or dreaming,
In your eyes I waste away.
So take me to your labyrinth
and I’ll be your willing slave.
Watching and waiting for me to find you,
I can never go left when you’re always right.
Shadows and corridors keep on changing,
It’s just so hard to resist your pull when you’ve re-ordered time.
Take me to your Labyrinth
and I’ll play your wicked game.
Take me to your labyrinth
and I’ll never be the same.
I don’t know if I’m awake or dreaming,
In your eyes I waste away.
So take me to your labyrinth
and I’ll be your willing slave.
Oh, you try so hard to break me,
Oh, the crystal shines.
Oh, do anything to have me,
Oh, won’t be defied.
Biting into the flesh, my head spinning.
Figures now all around me, I meld with the crowd.
Our eyes finally lock on each other,
And nothing matters, content to dance with you as the world falls down.
Take me to your Labyrinth
and I’ll play your wicked game.
Take me to your labyrinth
and I’ll never be the same.
I don’t know if I’m awake or dreaming,
In your eyes I waste away.
So take me to your labyrinth
and I’ll be your willing slave.

Down, in the depths of me
You twist and turn, manipulate.
I’m strong but only human,
Succumbing to an altered state.
Lie weaver,
You’re a mind stealer,
You’re a sense taker,
You’re my invader,
Crawling inside, yet I’m
Under your knife.
You are truly mine to bend,
So flow or fight, it means nothing.
Accept - it will be easier,
No matter what, I pull the strings.
Lie weaver,
You’re a mind stealer,
You’re a sense taker,
You’re my invader,
Crawling inside, yet I’m
Under your knife.
Guess it’s better off this way,
Conceding to the dark,
Embracing all my innate truth.
No more lying to yourself,
That false reality,
Accepting that you are me,
And I am you.
Inside forever more,
To try and flee I’d be a fool.
So while you slither in my skull,
I know I can’t get rid of you.
Lie weaver,
You’re a mind stealer,
You’re a sense taker,
You’re my invader,
Crawling inside, yet I’m
Under your knife.
(Lie weaver,
I’m a mind stealer,
I’m a sense taker,
I’m your invader,
Crawling inside, yet you’re
Under my knife.)

Possession (Your Love)

I used to
Have free will.
Always kept a strong level head.
From nowhere
A cold voice
Said “Come here babe, I’ll be the one to whisper things instead.”
Your love,
Your love,
Though it shackles me to the floor,
Your love,
Your love,
Though it forever takes, drags me down,
Leaves me wanting more.
I want to
Blame someone.
But somehow I let you take hold.
Now so weak
To your spell,
I am surging, hungry, completely under your control.
Your love,
Your love,
Cuts deep within my very core,
Your love,
Your love,
Though it forever burns, in my brain,
Leaves me wanting more.
Lust is too sweet,
won’t let me sleep.
I feel you
Coiled so tight.
Labyrinthine creature, just like a snake about to strike.
Your love,
Your love,
Hits hard like waves upon the shore.
Your love,
Your love,
Though it forever burns, in my brain
Leaves me wanting more.
Your love,
Your love,
Though it shackles me to the floor,
Your love,
Your love,
Though it forever takes, drags me down,
Leaves me wanting more.

I don’t want to,
But I try to,
Silence you inside my head.
You’re the voice that
Makes me writhe when I’m abed.
How you split me
With your cunning.
Every time while you have fed,
You’re the voice that
Colors my entire world red.
Wish I could have chosen,
But you always win.
I can feel you in my bones,
I’ll never be alone.
Fight tooth and nail
to stop your surfacing.
All the while as I protest
I relish your behest.
Surrendering,
I want to be a wicked thing.
I have moments
of clarity,
but they’re few and far between.
You’re the voice that
pushes cravings so obscene.
How you burn me,
nice and slowly,
pulling tight as any wire,
You’re the voice that
Fills me raw with blind desire.
Wish I could have chosen,
But you always win.
I can feel you in my bones,
I’ll never be alone.
Fight tooth and nail
to stop your surfacing.
All the while as I protest
I relish your behest.
Surrendering,
I want to be a wicked thing.
I don’t want to,
do I need to?
Easier just to give in,
You’re the voice that
keeps my defense paper thin.
How you grip me with your visions
You’re the voice that cuts a grin,
All is red now,
As you swallow me in sin.
Wish I could have chosen,
But you always win.
I can feel you in my bones,
I’ll never be alone.
Fight tooth and nail
to stop your surfacing.
All the while as I protest
I relish your behest.
Surrendering,
I want to be a wicked thing.
Wicked thing, a wicked thing, a wicked thing, I want to be a wicked thing.…

Too obsessed,
They light another cigarette,
Who cares what’s underneath her dress,
I’ve spiraled down a hole.
Thrills so cheap,
Preventing me from anchored sleep,
The kind of fame that makes me weep,
Cutting into my soul. (Cuts into my soul)
Jealousy,
(what do I do with this)
jealousy
(can I break this)
jealousy
(how do I handle this)
jealousy
(I’m slowly bleeding)
Low talent
to match the kind of cash they spend,
My core it shakes before it rends,
should not be pay to play.
No one thinks
of who’s really behind the scenes,
it all comes down to marketing,
still aching for my day.
Jealousy,
(what do I do with this)
jealousy
(can I break this)
jealousy
(how do I get rid of)
jealousy
(I’m slowly bleeding)
All for show,
it’s always about you know,
the arc of how the money flows,
how funding equals fans.
Try to be
patient but I do everything,
within a constant hustling,
but no one gives a damn.
Jealousy,
(what do I do with this)
jealousy
(can I break this)
jealousy
(how do I handle this)
jealousy
(I’m slowly bleeding)

You're Not Alone

How it starts
with a spark
And you love how it feels.
You can’t wait
Till you’re home
crafting something that’s real.
Nine to five
ain’t the time
For creativity,
So you work
And you wait
Planning out all your dreams.
It’s so hard to let it go
But I need you to know,
You’re not alone.
Finally
So complete
You’re excited to share.
You release
On a high
And hope others will care.
Countless hours,
Did the time,
Granted you’ve gone all in,
Been a week
And it seems
There was no one who listened.
It’s so hard to let it go
But I need you to know,
You’re not alone.
Left wondering what you did,
How could it possibly fail?
So defeated.
You think,
“Why did I even try?”
“Why don’t I shine as brightly?”
And fall into bed.
There are so
few who speak
On how art takes a toll.
Pour it out,
And your heart
Leaves you vulnerable.
Just remember
To seek,
There are others like you.
You’re courageous.
Keep doing
The things that you do.
It’s so hard to let it go
But I need you to know,
You’re not alone.

Control

You feel assured it’s the right choice,
Only you know the whole story.
They talk and judge behind their screens,
When typing words is so easy.
It’s hard to be
just yourself, when everyone has needs.
Don’t let them control you from the outside,
pulling strings, projecting on you their lies.
Don’t let them consume you, eat you alive.
Only you can see truth from the inside, the inside.
Such confidence in your own skin,
You bear your soul, part of yourself.
It’s too much for some to handle,
And now you’re seen as something else.
It’s hard to see
when abundant opinions are free.
Don’t let them control you from the outside,
pulling strings, projecting on you their lies.
Don’t let them consume you, eat you alive.
Only you can see truth from the inside, the inside.
Don’t let them control you from the outside,
pulling strings, projecting on you their lies.
Don’t let them consume you, eat you alive.
Only you can see truth from the inside, the inside.

Moving On

Work to
Go far in this
Constant rat race,
A breakneck pace.
It’s tough
To keep sanity,
A perspective,
To be reflective.
I’m my worst critic.
There’s one easy fix.
Moving on,
Staying strong,
I gotta use this time,
maximize.
Moving on,
Won’t be long,
Until I find my stride,
Don’t want to waste this life.
Keep on
Pushing in this
big universe,
Lots to traverse.
If I
hold course I will feel
My destiny
manifesting.
I’m my worst critic.
There’s one easy fix.
Moving on,
Staying strong,
I gotta use this time,
maximize.
Moving on,
Won’t be long,
Until I find my stride,
Don’t want to waste this life.
Easy
To just give it up.
But that always
Leads to dismay.
I’d like
To think that effort
Truly pays off,
Reaching the top.
I’m my worst critic.
There’s one easy fix.
Moving on,
Staying strong,
I gotta use this time,
maximize.
Moving on,
Won’t be long,
Until I find my stride,
Don’t want to waste this life.

about
After hundreds of hours of work, over a year's time, and many cups of tea, I've finally done it. Inner Demons is my debut full-length vocal electropop release as a recording artist. Up until now everything has been for a game/film, client, or a short EP.
This release is huge to me; I've always wanted to release a full vocal album.
It's the culmination of my inner monologues, struggles, desires, and musical soul. This is truly my album, I did absolutely everything in the creation of this release.
Enjoy the dark, dreamy, moody, melodic vibes of Inner Demons.
