Create Myself by Gary Hesketh

"It is never too late to be what you might have been." -George Eliott-

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain-

An original song written and performed by me - I created the video using an old stills camera, Maya and After Effects. I hope you like it.

Create Myself

I loath the fight but the fight loves me
Beautiful blisters the bark of this tree.
A punch in a kiss my life's on one knee
Under this skin's hardened harmony.

I would rather kiss the brink and smile
Using the best of my worst mile
Than lie in cold arms forever thinking,
"Could I have flown through this?"

I make myself -- I break myself
Take some time unwrap this life
And recreate myself.
I make myself -- I break myself
Take some time unwrap this life
I create myself.

Worn rubber hard ground,
Damaged skin life bound.
Dead fingers fumbling found
The next chance not to come around.

I waste my own time
This mind is doing fine
I won't sell
Unmade memories.

I make myself -- I break myself
Take some time unwrap this life
And rewrite myself.
I make myself -- I break myself
Take some time unwrap this life
I create myself.

There are no clean skins here
These words were born old.
I'll cast them out in tears
Then destroy the mould.
A shadow's kicking inside,
I'll starve it before it holds my heart.
Light up this mechanism, this blood machine.

I make myself -- I break myself
Take some time unwrap this life
And recreate myself.
I make myself -- I break myself
Take some time unwrap this life
I create myself.




I blew of both wings with one shot
Stapled my mouth I didn't drop.
I ripped up my pride I still flew,
I am me through and through.

And I'll smile through all this pain because it's all so beautiful.

Wanted to say that I find your music to be not half bad at all. Rather enjoy it. Reminds me a bit of Wolf Parade.

[GoldenShaolinNutz]

deep and inspirational in more ways than one....

when sensible words seem to fall on deaf ears.

when the crap hits the fan and your outnumbered.

fellas my only advice is keep your mouth shut, try to stay upright.

Grit your teeth, and steel yourself for some massive pain.

then unleash hell on earth.

Carpe Diem fellas
