  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    This album was created during February 2021 as part of the RPM February Music Challenge, which is to write and record an album in a month. These songs largely reflect on current events - life during a pandemic, chaotic politics and insane conspiracy theories. Also touched on are the universal and timeless themes of love and grief.
    This album is dedicated to my brother Joel Denning who left this earth in 2018. I love you and hope you're listening!

Accountability 07:33
lyrics
buy track
I’ve done a lot I wouldn’t say all But enough To make the call That sometimes It’s too much And seeking new thrills Might be a crutch What’s going on? What lay below? What’s being avoided? Do I really want to know? What have I hidden That I can’t explain For fear of reliving Crippling pain? Something in the shadows My elephant in the room Buried in denial That I don’t want to exhume Something in the shadows Something in the shadows Something in the shadows Something in the shadows Something in the shadows My elephant in the room Buried in denial That I don’t want to exhume Don’t want it around Remove it from here Blindly running Guided by fear What is it That you can’t see That haunts Your memory One thing That won’t let me be Accountability Frigid blasts Smacking my face Coming to terms With life in this place Feels like ice But I don’t care It’s only my skin It’s only air Below the surface Cracking the seal Of reality Is that what’s real? The bigger picture Has lost it’s appeal Don’t care anymore Just want to feel What is it That you can’t see That haunts Your memory One thing That won’t let me be Accountability

Hurt So Bad 04:41
lyrics

You gotta be kidding me This must be some kind of joke What have you been drinking What did you just smoke I’m really curious What’s with your brain Fabricating the truth You’ve gone insane Tell it to yourself Over and over again Make it your reality Blur real and pretend No one has told you Nobody’s gotten through None of this is real None of this is true At first we were shocked At your utter gall Your brazen lies Told with no blinks at all But your shtick has worn thin And your salad has been tossed You are a LOSER You are a loser ‘cause you LOST You gotta be kidding me This must be some kind of joke What have you been drinking What did you just smoke I’m really curious What’s with your brain Fabricating the truth You’ve gone insane This time it’s really gonna hurt It’s gonna hurt so bad This time it’s really gonna hurt Hurt. So. Bad.

We're Fucking Up 03:27
lyrics

Rotten to the core It’s all broken now Nothing works anymore Anyway anyhow Have we stepped Over the line? Are we ruined? Is everything fine? I’ve never seen it Like this before How much of this can we endure? Can we grow? Can we thrive Or even exist Just to stay alive The fallout is So extreme Too complex to explain With a stupid meme This seems so chaotic Free of any form Is this the beginning Of a new norm? We’re fucking up! We’re fucking up! We’re fucking up! We’re fucking up! But we’ll keep on rocking ‘Cause I don’t give a fuck If you’re thinking that I do Then I guess you’re out of luck We’ll keep on rocking That’s what we gotta do So come on pretty baby Let me rock it with you We’ll keep on rocking ‘Cause I don’t give a fuck If you’re thinking that I do Then I guess you’re out of luck We’ll keep on rocking That’s what we gotta do So come on everybody Let us rock it with you I’ve never seen it Like this before How much of this can we endure? Can we grow? Can we thrive Or even exist Just to stay alive Rotten to the core It’s all broken now Nothing works anymore Anyway anyhow Have we stepped Over the line? Are we ruined? Is everything fine? We’re fucking up! We’re fucking up! We’re fucking up! We’re fucking up! But we’ll keep on rocking ‘Cause I don’t give a fuck If you’re thinking that I do Then I guess you’re out of luck We’ll keep on rocking That’s what we gotta do So come on pretty baby Let me rock it with you We’ll keep on rocking ‘Cause I don’t give a fuck If you’re thinking that I do Then I guess you’re out of luck We’ll keep on rocking That’s what we gotta do So come on everybody Let us rock it with you Fuck Yeah! Fuck Yeah! Fuck Yeah! Fuck Yeah!

Right Here 03:44
lyrics

Right here in my arms Is the safest place you could ever be Because I wanna hold you tight forever And keep you right here with me Some people say love at first sight Is nothing but a silly cliche But I saw you in my future pretty baby When I saw you on that very first day Right here in each others arms Is a safe haven for you and me A place on our path together Fulfilling our destiny This world can be cold and cruel A turbulent tiresome affair But of this one thing you can always be sure I’me right here and I’ll always be there Right here in your arms Is the only place I want to be Gonna hold you so close to my heart And keep you right here with me So many challenges Will come our way It won’t always be as easy As it is today But the easiest thing I’ll ever have to do Is to face each day knowing I have you Right here in my arms Is the only place you want to be Gonna hold you in my arms forever Because you are my sweet baby Right here in my arms Right here in my arms Right here in my arms Right here in my arms Here for you Here for you

Selected 07:02
lyrics
buy track
At first this all must seem so unclear As to why we all have been gathered here But now the time has come to awaken And claim all the things from us that have been taken We are unflappable we shall not be halted Our drive is unstoppable to high we’ll be vaulted Our faith can’t be questioned nor our drive To strive is what it means to be alive Rejected Selected Corrected Perfected We have been broken off from the herd And we shall forever be marching forward Because we are warriors who see the light We shall be guided by what we know is right Rejected Selected Corrected Perfected Selected Connected Projected Directed At last the time has come to test our make up And see if we stand the pressure or break up Our cause is under siege from all sides And yet our resiliency allows us to abide Change is cracking apart our base Our faith is lacking it’s showing on our face Stunned revelation of a gross charade The world is laughing laughing at the fools made of us Selected Connected Effected Dejected Selected Connected Effected Dejected

I remember getting the call We were all together waiting for you it surprised us all You were there but you were already gone You fought a little longer and carried on We gathered by your side We held your hand together we cried You were the best that we could have known None of us wanted to let you go Everyday I wanna give you a call You would always help me make sense of it all I still see you smile I still know you care I know that forever you’ll always be there

You Failed 02:19
lyrics
buy track
You failed So magnificently At living up to the standards You demand of me Judgement cast At the slightest cue On everybody But you You claimed The highest ground From there You stood and looked down So you could Take and take and take some more Then turn around And align yourself with a snake, you dirty whore Why is it When you get your turn Rights are denied And cities burn? Why is it it When you get your try So many people Die? Why? You failed , that’s why You failed You failed

Ready 05:00
lyrics

I wanna reach out To all of my friends Because I can’t wait until We’re together again Giving high fives Turning up loud Raising our voices And being a crowd But for now I don’t think we’re ready I’ve got my doubts I don’t think we’re ready I’m a private creature I can be alone But even I have limits Limits once unknown I’m not really sure How much I can take I’m getting closer to the limit I’m getting closer to the break But for now I don’t think we’re ready I’ve got my doubts I don’t think we’re ready Hey! This new normal can suck it This oppressive trend, I wanna buck it Running hard losing track of time I lost all sense of reason and I lost all sense of rhyme I’m running hard I’m running out of time I lost my reason I can’t rhyme I’m running hard I’m running out of time I lost my reason I can’t rhyme I’m running hard I’m running out of time I lost my reason I can’t rhyme I’m running hard I’m running out of time I lost my reason I can’t rhyme We’ll be together soon someday I’ll greet you with wide open arms Until then we can just be okay And keep each other safe from harm I don’t think we’re ready Doubts! I don’t think we’re ready Doubts! I don’t think we’re ready Doubts! I don’t think we’re ready Oh maybe one day it’ll all be over Oh maybe one day it’ll all be over All be over Be gone! Get away, be gone! Get out of here, I want you out of my house Baby, gotta get away Be gone Let it go Let it go

At first I had reservations About what I could reveal I was afraid to be vulnerable And let you know just how I feel But I trust you my baby I know you wouldn’t do me wrong I said I trust you my baby I always have all along So here goes here goes I’m giving everything to you Well here goes here goes That’s what I want to do Opening up to you Shouldn’t be so hard to We’ve been hurt so many times before We don’t want that pain anymore But whenever you are near You chase away all of my fear I want this moment to never end I want to share it with you my very best friend So here goes here goes I’m giving everything to you Here goes here goes That’s what I want to do Never leave my side That’s what they always say But you can do whatever you want I’ll never stand in your way I know how I feel By your sided is the place for me I’m here for you baby And I always will be So here goes here goes I’m giving everything to you Well here goes here goes That’s what I want to do Well here goes here goes I’m giving everything to you Well here goes here goes That’s what I want to do Well here goes Well here goes Well here goes Well here goes

Not Fall Down 03:31
lyrics

I wanna keep it simple Don’t wanna go deep I don’t like crazy I don’t like it too steep I don’t need subtle nuance To tell how I feel I’m not changing the world Or reinvent the wheel Just trying to live And not fall down I don’t feel the need to yield Or give up any ground Some people roll over And take whatever they can Sometimes I have to go big Just so I can stand I’m so tired Of your subterfuge Your raining chaos Is like an utter deluge You had me off kilter For just a sec Here I come now Here comes a wreck I wanna keep it simple I don’t wanna go deep I don’t like crazy I don’t like it too steep Don’t feel the need to yield Or give up any ground I’m just trying to live And not fall down

Coming At Ya 04:12

How many times must I ask For you to halt and hand me that flask Not saying that I’m proud But now we’re here Back on top we conquered the beer It’s taken hold We’ve lost control So watch your back yeah We’re coming at ya It’s taken hold We’ve lost control So watch your back yeah We’re coming at ya Sure it’s true it could worse Circumstances could be more adverse It’s not a lie to say we’re in control Like a convict controls his parole It’s taken hold We’ve lost control So watch your back yeah We’re coming at ya It’s taken hold And we’ve lost control It’s alright is what we’re told As the world crumbles and chaos takes hold For now I’m soaring flying so high Soon to come crashing and take another try Reckless is where I’m at Destructive and dangerous I am that Just wanna charge and leave a fiery trail Full power on catastrophic fail Full commitment to this crooked path From hero to zero you can do the math Implosion imminent let’s make a cave It’s a bed of rubble but it’s better than a grave Now it’s taken hold We’ve lost control So watch your back yeah We’re coming at ya It’s taken hold We’ve lost control So watch your back yeah We’re coming at ya It’s taken hold We’ve lost control So watch your back yeah We’re coming at ya It’s taken hold We’ve lost control So watch your back yeah We’re coming at ya It’s taken hold We’ve lost control We’re coming at ya We’re coming at ya It’s taken hold We’ve lost control We’re coming at ya We’re coming at ya
