Abandon Need 05:48
lyrics
buy track
You hold me In the clouds And I think out loud When I've got no one else You found me Falling down But I know the ground It's not so bad down here You don't need me… Free me From my soul It's a great big hole If ever I did see one And I know that I'm being over-worked And I'm not alone, but fuck it hurts 'cos I'm lonely All these fields are blue Spasms as I fall asleep This great big hole has captured me And I don't know If I can be fucked with this You don't need me...

Density of the Matter 03:11
lyrics
buy track
Nothing here could really matter Nothing we do could be seen Chasing love inside a shadow Not realising it's in me Hold on… People think they really know you Like some static entity Smell the shit right through the roses Nothing here will ever be Hold on...

Always Already 03:19
lyrics
buy track
Forget what pre-supposed you To them you're nothing but a go-through Exchange your eyes for a better view Fuck all that shit they've fed you And I think, What the fuck do words mean? Just another way of looking through this screen And it's just life and it's ever grey Pick a cloud, mount it, and fly away Turn 'round and 'round, you might find There's more to this than the grind Just a stupid thing called everything Just a fuckin' thing called everything You always, always, already were...

Chemical Breeze 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Can you see the tiny people, spinnin' round in your head? Can you see their faces falling? Never felt so dead Can you see the leaves are falling, falling from the trees? Can you see the raindrops falling, in the chemical breeze? Can you smell the winter morning? The rain has cleared Can you hear the grey clouds calling? Atmosphere Can you see you're really hiding, hiding from the dead? Can't you feel the warmth residing, next to your chemical bed? In the chemical breeze… Can you see the tiny people, spinnin' around? Can you hear the faces falling? Never felt so dead

Come Undone 04:09
lyrics
buy track
I've been waiting a long time But it took no eyes to see Faces reflected in the moon shine Bodies buried out at sea Go on thinking it's alright But what kind of a society Turns its face away from meaning And leaves true lovers out to bleed? I don't know what to be Holding on to An I that just ain't me Holding onto These eyes that just won't see Holding onto Come undone with me What they failed to tell you What most fail to see Out there reflected in the moon shine The only love, you know, is free I don't know what to be Holding on to An I that just ain't me Holding on to These eyes that just won't see Holding on to Come undone with me

Existential Sigh 03:47
lyrics
buy track
You and me, falling endlessly Sun and sky, existential sigh All I want and all I need All I feel is everything Happening around me I don't wanna see you bleed And I don't wanna know Where you've been I just wanna see you again Falling down, fall right through the clouds Sun and rain, existential strain How come I shriek in fright Every time I reach these heights? God is dead, where is my spirit Now that God is dead? Everything is everything at once...

Hey now Don't pretend you see me Bleeding Don't pretend you need me You're my friend Why do we need to pretend? What is goin' on? We were havin' fun I swear I felt illusions But I know I'm well I know I'm well Help me Just so that I owe you It's just a fucking game Do I even know you? Space and time Nothing I will heed to What is goin' on? We were havin' fun I swear I felt an illusion But I know I'm well I know I'm well You come right out And tell me that I need you Like there's a fuckin' chain That you hold the key to We were friends Why do we need to pretend? I know I'm well I just know I'm well...

Let it Float 03:09
lyrics
buy track
There are two lemon halves Floating in my drink Not quite a full circle but Just on the brink Great memories, old man But these eyes see things That you will never see There's nowhere left to go Maybe I should let this feeling float Maybe it's my seeming lack of friends That's got me down Although I swear I felt this way Before I lost them to the clouds Fending off the blows Maybe I should let this feeling float Maybe I should let this feeling float Let this feeling float Let this feeling float

My Shadow 04:27

Walking through this forest I see the leaves Walking through this forest You're all I see Walking through this forest You're the only one who's here Walking through this forest You're the only one who's here You're the only one who's here My shadow's coming My shadow's coming You're the only one who loves me Tell me that you love me I thought I knew you I thought I'd seen you And I'd caught you And I'd caught you And I'd caught you Tell me that you love me Tell me that you love me My shadow's coming My shadow's here My shadow's here You said you told me You said you'd love me You said you'd hold me But by God, you said you'd love me I said… You're coming You're coming You're coming

Nothing #1 04:25
lyrics
buy track
This is not a joke Everyone is laughing but my eyes are drawn to the ground Your fogginess is crude You'll never lift my mood if you keep eyeing me that way Sounds like I'm whinging Caught in a dream and This is not my voice it's the world Speaking through me Gotta let it out… I won't leave I'm gonna try real hard To find what I need But there's nothing here Maybe that's the key Crappiness complete Look at your life, everything happens because it does Try to find a cause You'll get lost And you'll never get out of this thing alive You gotta let it go You gotta let it fly You gotta let it sit down with you and say goodbye 'cos it all ends now Every second you live now You won't escape one second without dying Just a little bit I won't leave I'm gonna try real hard To find what I need But there's nothing here Maybe that's the key

Please Come Home 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Breathe with me Lady let me see The colours of your eyes Reflected in the sky Where we've been What these souls have seen Dark and light Sweet and endless night Brother speak to me But don't speak with your teeth We don't need This hostility Please come home Please, please come home I don't want To end it on this note You won't find it in your scars… We've a thousand years to go… Close your eyes Clear your mind Be with me But don't be in-between You won't find it in your scars...

Relentless 03:05

I don't know I don't know where I'm going All I feel Is emptiness all over Stare at me Like I know where it's at All I feel Is empty space all over And I know I know I'm not alone Every day though, ya know It never goes away It never goes away Freedom bleeds Leaves scarring at my feet The more I think The more I feel I get older Scattered dreams A fucked up memory Life sure is A fucking roller coaster And I know I know I'm not alone But every day, oh It never goes away Never goes away Watch me take the smallest leaf And crush it in my hand

Everyone I see is looking at me I won't be I won't be seen I can walk around in circles for weeks I won't be I won't be seen Take my lover, take my weak insides I won't need I won't need these Oh dear father, you have taken a life You won't see You won't see peace I can walk around in circles for weeks You won't see You won't see me I can walk around in circles for weeks You won't see You won't see me La da da, da da La da da da, da da da Take my lover, take my weak insides I won't need I won't need these Oh dear father, you have taken a life You won't see You won't see peace

I am not a healing man I'm self-centred I see me in everything And when I walk along the shore I fail to think About anything (about anything) I don't know you You don't know me We are friends You could be another one of My dead ends I don't know (I don't know) I just don't know (just don't know) I don't know you well (know you well) Do I know you well?

The North Side of Town 03:39
lyrics
buy track
On the north side of town I can see her through the trees All but noticing the hills So bleak, so far behind her Can she see me? Me… On the west side of town I am standing by a factory I can hear the cogs and gears And yes, I hear them turning Contradicting me Contradicting me Me… And I smell the ocean breeze Before the sun turns cold And I cannot stand the legs On which I find I'm walking When will we meet?

Yours, It Beats On 04:33
lyrics
buy track
Hold on to your short straw Be all you wanna be Crack down on all those crooks But stay the fuck away from me They're livin' on They're holdin' on To your heart Help's just a one-horse town away Keep a butter knife in your belt You'll feel the need to kill again Put another skull on your shelf You're holdin' on Still holdin' on to Your gun Who keeps the peace down here? Everyone is on their own I taught that each is everything Who the fucked removed my stone? Heal me now Won't you heal me now With your heart? Heal me now Won't you heal me now With your heart? Hold on to your short straw Be all you wanna be Crack down on all those crooks But stay the fuck away from me Heal me now Won't you heal me now With your heart? You'll feel the need to kill again Put another skull on your shelf Help's just a one-horse town away Keep a butter knife in your belt They're livin' on Yes, they're livin' on In your gun Heal me now Won't you heal me now With your heart?

about

A collection of my older recordings, a lot of which are fairly rough. An interesting contrast to how I write these days.

Chris Emmerson Music Wentworth Falls, Australia

Blue Mountains based songwriter/musician, ever penning the endless melodies running up and down and through the old soul channel. Shamelessly drawn to all things expressive and creative - which perhaps is all things, in a way; but perhaps the more active displays, whereby one might, lettuce say, have some thing or two to say... ... more
