We all know a friend who’s had a sociopath for a partner at some point in our lives. Some might even have been with one. This song’s for them

lyrics

Her mind a graveyard let’s pay a visit
To touch the granite to make it real
The flowers are wilted within her memory
A force of habit that she can’t heal 
So hear the image of pathetic rage
 He calls at midnight and storms the stage
The door is bolted from outside 
He wants her zeroed and terrified

The fist shaped holes in walls
 She’s a thousand year stare now
 Mr Gaslight runs the show but she will learn to run one day
She will find herself standing on her own
 Without this demon sucking on her soul

She feels the panic setting in 
The reddened skin upon her wrists
The skinless knuckles and tightened fists
An unholy monster with bloodied shin
Conceal with makeup the tears she hides
Force the smile - Her brave face on
Worried friends sensing something
Sense the fray (but not quite yet)

The fist shaped holes in walls and his pleading midnight calls
Mr Gaslight can make his claims but she will learn to run one day
She will find herself standing on her own
 Without this demon sucking on her soul
 She may feel there’s no escape but there is dear girl
 Hold on for us
 Those fist shaped holes in the walls and his pleading midnight calls
Mr Gaslight will make his claim but she will learn to run one day
Those fist shaped holes in walls 
Muffled cries behind the doors
 Mr Gaslight will meet his end
 And she will learn to love again
 She will learn to love again

Sonder

This is the album I released under my Squirrel alter-ego. It is funky, trancy, rocky and weird. Beck, Chemical Brothers, Oakenfold, BT and Prodigy fans will appreciate it. Joe Adhemar
