about

Through 2012, I'll be working on this project, in which, instead of releasing a new album, I'll be writing, producing and releasing a song at a time throughout the year. Pretty much one every couple of weeks

about

The strange machine which is Fronz Arp grinds like a tattered, angry little hurdy gurdy. Angular and abrasive, with blasts ... more of vaudevillian jaunt and dramatic, seesawing melodies, Fronz Arp have been compared to weird-pop wonders, such as David Bowie and Tom Waits

“...songs full of drama and action, designed to get pulses racing and yet still sounding both intricate and adventurous” Rave Magazine less

Track Name: 33
Found out today when I turned 33
Even though I'm getting older I keep fucking up
And time flies away from old guarantees
I was a different person then, I'm no longer myself

I pulled my chest apart to find an answer in my heart
Now not a day goes by that I don't question my own worth
So leave me in the doorway with my skeleton exposed

I don't want to live without it
Even if we have to go insane
If I cannot live without it
I only have myself to blame

Found out the day that I turned 33
Though I think I'm getting smarter I keep fucking up
Sweeping up with the history I've shattered on the floor
I've taken on the shapes of these remaining broken things
It all seems to exist around the corners of my eyes and
Disappear like chaos when I turn to see its face

I don't want to live without it
Even if we have to go insane
If I cannot live without it
I only have myself to blame

Though I wanted it it seems
It came as no surprise
Tough I wanted it, it seems
It is so hard to find

I don't want to live without it
Even if we have to go insane
If I cannot live without it
I only have myself to blame
Track Name: Never Let Me Go
Never let me go
Even when you're hanging by our nails
And our bloodied hands might fail
Never let me go
Even when the tide is too strong
And you cannot hang on

I searched the whole town for what I needed
I searched the whole town but couldn't see it
Now I know we're enough

Never let me go
Even when the stars collide
And threaten to explode
Never let me go
Even when god reaches down from heaven
And steals you from my arms
And leaves you with the devil
As he whispers... whispers...

I searched the whole world for what I needed
I searched the whole world but couldn't see it
Now I know we're enough
Track Name: Rails
The silence burns my eyes today
The sun falls cold against my skin
I hide my face in tattered grins

We're creeping round in circles
Peering though windows and doors
Searching for crack in the walls

For quiet prayers with answers
But they take away as much as the give
Folded like a letter in your hand

That says all you need is time
All you need is space
All you need to find
Is some way to get yourself back on the rails

The airport lines get longer
They never seem to come to an end
And change when you let your guard down

The sunlight burns my eyes today
As I'm lifted up towards the sky
Who would've thought it was so high

All you need is time
All you need is space
All you need to find
Is someone to get yourself back on the rails
Track Name: The Edge of the World
If I stand on the edge of the world
Would you be there waiting for me
If I reached out to take your hand
I'm slipping through the cracks
To the places I can't see the darkness surround me

Why start now if it's already too late
Last words fade in the light of his heartache
At night creatures run through the forest of his reason

And you'd better wake up, better wake up

If I fall off the edge of the world
Would you be there waiting for the
Sound of my crashing if its too late to catch me

If I start now though it's too late
Would last words fade in the light of our heart ache
As night creatures run through the forest of our reasons
And you'd better wake up
But starting from now with the world on my shoulders
The sun rising up will be so much colder
At night creatures run through the forest of our reasons
And you'd better wake up

Would you be there to catch me
Track Name: Magnolia
Magnolia
Don't go outside alone
Because I'm afraid you'll be
In mortal danger
There are monsters, freaks and whores
Who pray on lonely souls
And I'm afraid you'll be
In mortal danger

Because creeping around where us ordinary people live
Are men with knives and guns in hand
Who stand at the windows looking in from the outside
On our mothers, lovers, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons and me

Magnolia
If you sneak away tonight
I'm afraid you'll need
A guardian angel
Because intentions wrapped in words
That slide from devils tongue
And I'm afraid you'll need
A guardian angel
I'm afraid you'll be
In mortal danger

Because creeping around where us ordinary people live
Are men with knives and guns in hand
Who stand at the windows looking in from the outside
On our mothers, lovers, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons and me

I know that your worried
That you want the things you haven't got
To be the things that you are not
Well I've been in that place before
If I could wear your skin around my neck
And take you walking in my shoes
Magnolia you'd see its all a trick
To catch you when your
Down and out falling down
When you don't want to know
Track Name: More for a Woman to Lose (Discarded Wives)
I went down to the streets within this town
That I probably didn't see until you fell
Where whores and men burn the world as they descend
And hand in hand dance their way to hell
Despite the cares that war within my head
I cannot turn away until I see
The final deed as she goes down on her knees
And at that moment our eyes meet

But I don't worry
Because its one thing for a man to choose
Between the heart he believes and the lover he leaves
But its more for a woman to lose

Skin and bone as I turned from the unknown
And ran before its teeth had sunken in
And anger burned like a fire building slow
And in that furnace my heart hardened
So emerging from the stone came justice and her scales
Blindfolded with vengeance, crying for repentance
But oh how I despair for you, I despair for you
Because maybe you're not the person you thought I would be

But I don't worry
Because its one thing for a man to choose
Between the heart he believes and the lover he leaves
But its more for a woman to lose

I'm just a discarded wife
I'll erase my old life
And I'll come back ready to survive
Track Name: Did You Think Our Love Would Hide You
Did you think our love would hide you
From the killers in your head
Well I would put myself before you
So the fight me instead

Did you think our love would hide you
From the fear of being found
Well I would lay myself before you
So the find me on the ground

And let them take what they wanted from me
Let the take what the wanted from me

Did you think our love would hide you
Though the darkness fills the day
Well I would set myself on fire
To light your way

And let them take what they wanted from me
Let the take what the wanted from me

Let the take what the wanted
As much as they taunted me
Let them take all oh own
Scratch the skin from my bones from me
Let them cut out my lungs with my heart and my tongue
Well I've said all I wanted to say
If it gives them a reason to leave in you peace
Then I've saved all I wanted to save
For me
If they leave you be
Track Name: Fire
Help me I'm on fire
I'm burning from the inside out
The flames are getting hire
Consuming my skin
Love are you alone
Are you burning too?

When will you be mine
Darling I'm on fire

Never let me go
And hold me from the upside down
As around now
And the world revolves
Your skin upon my skin
Has a shock
Of electricity
That I'm longing to spark

Darling I'm on fire

Your a lonely dancer
Come hand me your dress
In the search for an answer
Can I find you there
Burning in secret
Like a candle flame
Twirling and dancing in time
Track Name: Just Because You Want it All
Look at us love, unraveling
Everything frayed like burning
Tangled and tied by a spider
And just because you want it all
On your shoulders
And just because you want it all
I won't screw you over

Look at us fall from our great height
Tumbling down, crashing down
We litter the ground like broken bones
And just because you want it all
On your shoulders
And just because you want it all
I won't screw you over

Though we're locked inside
There is no place to hide

How I want you

I was angry I was scared
But covered in blood of our mistakes
And just because you want it all
On your shoulders
And just because you want it all
I won't fuck you over

Though we're locked inside
There is no place to hide

How I want you

And just because I want it all
I won't fuck you over
And just because it shines like gold
In the morning
I would not abandon you
I would not abandon you
Just because we're unraveling
Track Name: Technology (Keeping Us Apart)
I'm afraid that technology
Is pushing us farther and farther apart
To float like ghosts in the modern world
So pull out the cord to my life support

And when its gone
You're standing all alone
With no where left turn
And their screaming for your blood

Is that why you never run
When the danger comes
Though you could die, you could die

Where are you when I need you here
There's a window ledge creeping towards my feet
My final cries lost in the city noise
In the click clack hum rising above the street

Now you're gone
I'm standing on my own
With no one left to become
And they're waiting for my blood

Is that why I never run
When the danger comes
Though I could die, I could die

Hey won't let me in
Now the world is crumbling
What more is there to do
But stay alive

I'm afraid that technology
Is keeping us farther and father apart
And I'll won't find my one true love
Until I'm old
