lyrics
Stay Down Dog
I got the whole damn pride
Licking my wounds tonight
And the meat of my drive
Goes out of date
Pack up my sanity
Put it on a plane, or boat
I will, I will escape me
But I won't, I won't
What gives you authority?
Sounds like you're just complaining to me
You look pretty when you're angry
Like a stripper dancing for money
I want to lick the boots of confrontation
Down at heel, stay down dog
I want to be angry
But it seems irrational to me
Now I've bitten my tongue
No more words will come
Pick one moment in time
And become the lion inside
Turning point, where I become alive
But I won't, I won't.
It's too easy to slide.
Touch the leather mask
Smash your face in.
Smash your pretty little face in
Lipstick smile
Eyeliner
Bloody corpse, vandalised
Bludgeoned to death
That's what you get
For thinking like me
For thinking like me
Not enough like me
Another feeble drone
Another puny ant
Another consumer
With a chip on his shoulder
I'll be a good boy
This time I promise
I got the whole damn pride
Licking my wounds tonight
And the meat of my drive
Goes out of date
Pack up my sanity
Put it on a plane, or boat
I will, I will escape me
But I won't, I won't
What gives you authority?
Sounds like you're just complaining to me
You look pretty when you're angry
Like a stripper dancing for money
I want to lick the boots of confrontation
Down at heel, stay down dog
I want to be angry
But it seems irrational to me
Now I've bitten my tongue
No more words will come
Pick one moment in time
And become the lion inside
Turning point, where I become alive
But I won't, I won't.
It's too easy to slide.
Touch the leather mask
Smash your face in.
Smash your pretty little face in
Lipstick smile
Eyeliner
Bloody corpse, vandalised
Bludgeoned to death
That's what you get
For thinking like me
For thinking like me
Not enough like me
Another feeble drone
Another puny ant
Another consumer
With a chip on his shoulder
I'll be a good boy
This time I promise

SAWFAY (2012) was a National Lottery & NI Arts Council funded project, where I received the "ACES" (Artist's Career Enhancement Scheme) to help me develop as an artist. The project was also mentored by Moving On Music. I composed 52 original songs over one year, uploading each new song to this bandcamp page, at the end of each week in 2012. ... more
