Thank you very much for taking a listen and your feedback guys.
Im aware that it isnt for everyone, but for me, I would rather really connect with a handful of people than thousands. My main influences have always been the likes of Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, to Throbbing Gristle and Sisters of Mercy. I remember Andrew Eldritch saying exactly that about his writing style. But I am pleased that you guys were able to sit through some of it - it not being your thing. At least it isnt too offensive!
Here are some lyrics:
http://soundcloud.com/ykwya/nobody-1Nobody by The American Century
I go to places
Where nobody knows my name and
I see the faces of the people
Passing by
I sometimes wonder
Do they notice me?
Im just another face that slowly fades away
Nobody knows me
Nobody sees me
Nobody knows my name
Nobody believes it
Nobody sees it
Nobody knows how I feel
I go to places
Where nothing is real
Just an illusion of a power
We all feel
When we're given choices
That none of us need
We spend our lives asking others
How WE should feel
Nobody Knows me
Nobody sees me
Nobody knows my name
Nobody believes it
Nobody sees it
Nobody knows how I feel
I end up walking
I could walk for miles and miles to
Escape this feeling
Of loneliness......
Nobody knows me
Nobody sees me
Im on my own
Nobody believes it
Nobody sees it
Im on my own.....

http://soundcloud.com/ykwya/feels-like-rainThis is a song about an Elephant in the room......
Feels Like Rain
Everyone knows about it
But no one dares to speak its name
Its secret we all live with
No one dares to ask it
The question that we should ask ourselves
The search for truth just turns up lies
There was a moment back then
Buried among the 'yesterdays'
You nearly had me believe it
Everything seemed just fine then
But then all your faces fell away
I was scared by what we were left with
Its like Rain
When the Night falls
It always leaves me cold
Its like Rain
When the Night falls
It always leaves me cold.....
Now Ive got this feeling
Everything else begins to fade
Nothing will ever take me back there
But when Im reminded
Of the things you used to say
It feels like falling Rain
Now I've got this this feeling
And the night turns into day
I see why you're afraid
There are things unspoken
But the light will show the way
No more hiding in the shade
Its like Rain
When the Night falls
It always leaves me cold
Its like rain
When the Night falls
It always leaves me cold
Everyone knows
But nobody sees
They make a choice
Not to believe
Weve been decieved
All of this time
We bought the illusion
We lived the lie......
Its like Rain
Its like Rain
It always leaves me cold......

Loved and Lost
http://soundcloud.com/ykwya/loved-and-lostAll these moments
Lost in time
I never thought we'd be saying
Goodbye
You are the answer
To all my prayers
How can you leave me going
Nowhere?
Loved and Lost
It happened to us.....
How can two people
Just drift apart?
When sometimes it feels like we are sharing
The same heart
Is this the moment?
Is this goodbye?
The moment it feels like Ive been living
A lie...
Ive loved and lost
It happened to us
Loved and Lost
It happened to us....
Everything can change
But if you need me call my name
And I'll be there.....
I'll always love you
I'll always care
Tell me that you need me and I'll be there
I never thought we'd
Go seperate ways
But nothing lasts forever
So they say.....
Ive Loved and Lost
It happened to us
Loved and Lost
The hardest part
Everything can change
I know that I will see you again
Anywhere you go
Whenever you need me
Know
I'll be there......
Loved and Lost
A memory for everyone
Seperate ways
But whatever path you take
I'll be there....
Dont say goodbye
Dont say goodbye
Never say goodbye....
