This piece is about a man seemingly cursed like the Job of the biblical days. This details his descent in unbelieve.The lyrics are doom/death metal inspired. My most honest piece of literature to date. Not really rhyme schemed as to retain the authenticity of mood portrayed by work. Second verse follows AAAA but nothing after so I will listed as no rhyme scheme. Unlike the story in the bible where God did answer Job. Here we see the man cry out from his personal thorn plaguing his life. There was no response!!!

Marketing is all about selling us MORE, more than we need more than we want and more than is good for any of us. These lyrics explore the insanity of the 'give me' culture and how it exploits and ruins us all.

In old age love may loose passion but a life time spent together gives it the the strength to carry on through the bitterest loss of all, the loss of a living partner to dementia. These Lyrics illuminate the feelings of the partner 'left behind'

Sometimes you loose a loved one even though they are right by your side. Depression, addiction, dementia many things steal away a person and leave a shell you hardly recognise. These lyrics explore the helpless fear of those standing by.

Sometimes you just can't 'give' any more in a relationship. It feels like which ever way you go you are going to be hurt. These lyrics capture the feelings of withdrawing from the fray for self protection.
