Bitter 03:38
Some people never stop talking, but they've got nothing to say Some people are always out walking, because they can't find their way Some people never stop dreaming, 'cause they don't wanna wake up Most people only stop drinking when, there's nothing left in their cup I don't wanna get bitter and twisted, but I don't wanna join in I don't wanna get bitter and twisted I just wanna stay comfortable in my skin Some people never stop knocking, until they knock down a door, You get the feeling, there's no way they're stopping - ain't what they came here for Some people never stop going, until they've gone to far They'll tell you it's for the best but you know, it's bound to leave a scar I don't wanna get bitter and twisted, but I don't wanna join in I don't wanna get bitter and twisted I just wanna stay comfortable in my skin You can please everybody all of the time, but you'll never please yourself You can lay your heart right out on the line, but it'll just lay there until the end of time... No I don't wanna get bitter and twisted, but I don't wanna join in I don't wanna get bitter and twisted I just wanna stay comfortable in my... I don't wanna get bitter and twisted, but I don't wanna join in I don't wanna get bitter and twisted I just wanna stay comfortable in my skin

Scratching around for a little scrap of paper To catalogue my epiphany Dinner's getting colder but I'll have to have it later I'm looking for a pencil, now I'm down on my knees My mind's a razor, but my room's a disaster zone I just wanna do my thing, but life gets in the way I just wanna play and sing, but life gets in the way I just wanna do my thing, but life gets in the way I just wanna play and sing, but life gets in the way What was that thing you were trying to say before That you had on your mind? Wait a minute, hold that thought, I've got a call He says it won't take any time Oh now, please don't turn around and walk away I just wanted to talk to you, but life got in the way There were so many things that we were gonna do, But life got in the way I wish I could just talk to you, but life got in the way I wish we could just see it through, but life gets in the way Well we never seem to have enough time, We always find another mountain to climb And even if it's only a dream, You've gotta find some time to live in between I just wanna do my thing, but life gets in the way I just wanna play and sing, but life gets in the way I just wanted to talk to you, but life got in the way There were so many things that we were gonna do, but life got in the way I just wanna do my thing, but life gets in the way I just wanted to play and sing, but life got in the way I just wanna talk to you, but life gets in the way I wish we could just see it through, but life got in the way

Outa Control 04:03
We're drivin' blindly down a dead-end street Never knowing what we're gonna meet For so long now Always thinking that we've got it made While living underneath the hanging blade For so long now And I just cannot get perspective Like a rat trapped inside a maze In a system that's so defective Locked into a malevolent gaze Ev'rything is out of my control Ev'rything is out of my control Now every life is like an opening flower So quick to welcome in the day's long heat It's only pretty for about an hour Before it's desiccated in defeat And you never expect it to sour It goes down in between the days It implodes like a tumbling tower As the dust blocks the sun's final rays Ev'rything is out of my control Ev'rything is out of my control E'vrything is outa control (repeat) Spinning around my mind Taking all my time I cannot find a place to soothe my soul Losing all seclusion Any chance at sanity Ev'rything within my reach is out of my control Ev'rything is out of my control Ev'rything is out of my control

Bulldozer 05:35
Burning in the early morning heat, determined to stay on my feet It's hard to be a tree in the desert, expediency makes sense if you let it But reasoning like that could mean your life I look in vain hope to the merciless, cloudless sky My leaves are brown and my rootstock is bone dry But I can hear a sound in the distance, and now I fear that I've got no resistance It's gonna come and it's gonna run me down Like a bulldozer Bulldozer It's gonna run me down It's gonna run me down My fight is all gone and I've got nothing left to give This is surely not the way we were meant to live Wearing down our human resources, we've got not time to be scared or be cautious Who will keep the desert from the door? They're moving in closer with their ugly ravenous machines, Laying down roads where the grass used to be so green Who is gonna stop the erosion, there's just no way to contain this explosion It's gonna come and it's gonna run me down Like a bulldozer Bulldozer It's gonna run me down It's gonna run me down Your words were spinning like a kite caught in a gale Knives that cut the cloth to take the wind out of my sails Your words could break a bone, your words float like a stone Your words could run right over me... like a.... Reeling in the early evening haze, safe from the sun's derisive gaze Loose tongues are always a killer, imagination's a surrogate filler Who will fix the damage once it's done? Stamping down tough on a ground that's dry and hard, Pushing for a mile when you know I only gave a yard It's gonna take some time to repair it, until then we'll just have to wear it Never gonna let it run me down Like a bulldozer Bulldozer Never let it run me down Never let it run me down Never let it run me down Never let it run me down

Damage 03:42
I did so much damage when I opened my mouth today My tongue swung like a wrecking ball and I really had my say I don't know if I could ever face you all again 'Cause I did so damage and it's too far gone to mend I just started mouthing off without my brain in gear Everything came flooding out, that had been dammed up for years I don't know if I could ever face you all again 'Cause I did so damage and it's too far gone to mend Just a little spark to set the wheel of life aflame One senseless remark, I was temporarily insane Set my world on fire, now there's only ashes everyday Just a little spark to set the wheel of life aflame One senseless remark, I was temporarily insane Set my world on fire, now there's only ashes everyday I did so much damage when I opened my mouth today My tongue swung like a wrecking ball and I really had my say I don't know if I could ever face you all again 'Cause I did so damage and it's too far gone to mend I did so much damage when I opened my mouth today..

Lean 04:35
Bide your time, wait your turn Cool your heels until you feel the burn Don't break a sweat, they're no regrets You've only got one chance to do it all Now you can feel it coming, don't let it slip away Don't let the moment pass you by Lean into it Feel the breeze against your spine Lean into it Live inside a moment in time So you missed your cues and you screamed your blues It broke your spirit, but it's still up to you 'Cause there's time left yet, time to reset Time to take another shot, you won't forget Now you can feel it coming, you won't let it slip away Won't let the moment pass you by Lean into it Feel the breeze against your spine Lean into it Live inside a moment in time Lean into it Feel the breeze against your spine Lean into it Recognise this is your time Lean into it Feel the breeze against your spine Lean into it Live inside a moment in time Lean into it Feel the breeze against your spine Lean into it Recognise this is your time (Lean into it!)

I never meant to bait my words tonight It doesn't mean they didn't come out right I set the trap and we both fell right in I dropped the flag on a race no one could win Why don't you say something? Why don't you say something? Why don't you say something? Anything, anything at all will do Familiar waves are washing over me I always tried so hard so you would see I never mined for words against your will But iron silence is a cup I aim to spill Why don't you say something? Why don't you say something? Why don't you say something? Anything, anything at all will do And I'm not trying to make you be dishonest But I could use a little help All these years you know I gave my very best Hoping for a chance to change the hand that I'd been dealt Why don't you say something? Why won't you say something? Why don't you say something? Anything, anything at all will do Why don't you say something? Why don't you say something? Why don't you say something? Why don't you say something? Anything, anything Anything?

Well I know that you've been round this block before And I think that you think that you know the score Time will tell if you really are on your game What will you do when there's nobody else to blame? Now they're coming for you, are you running away? Did you hope to get out with your life? Do you really believe all the things that they say? Now they're sharpening up their knives... 'Cause everybody wants to be a celebrity chef Nobody wants to do the dishes They're always so happy to take what you've got left Nobody cares about your wishes You've got some time to think things over, You've got some time to make your peace How long will it take for you to discover Your troubles are only bound to increase Now they're coming for you, are you running away? Did you hope to get out with your life? Do you really believe all the things that they say? Now they're sharpening up their knives... 'Cause everybody wants to be a celebrity chef Nobody wants to do the dishes They're always so happy to take what you've got left Nobody cares about your wishes You always thought you were a special little boy Your mum and dad they told you so They reinforced you self esteem with every ploy But they just built a monster Oh how were mum and dad to know? Now they're coming for you, are you running away? Did you hope to get out with your life? Do you really believe all the things that they say? Now they're sharpening up your knives... 'Cause everybody wants to be a celebrity chef Nobody wants to do the dishes They're always so happy to take what you've got left Nobody cares about your wishes (let me tell you) everybody wants to be a celebrity chef Nobody wants to do the dishes They're always so happy to take what you've got left Nobody cares about your wishes

Charlie was a wage slave, dying in a six-pack flat His landlord was curmudgeonly, his boss was the manager's brat He spent his days in warehouse hell, praying for the siren's call He drowned at night in amber oceans, until he drank it all Lying on the lounge, his youth just slipped away Oblivious to sound, as he stepped down off the curb the next day Now Harry was in real estate, and mortgaged to the hilt His wife and kids had given up, and left him to his guilt Every day was misery, every night was worse Lunch was long and liquid, mornings were a curse His double-vision smeared, barrelling down the road His drunken brain was seared But his black Mercedes carried to much speed to be slowed Now Chalie was down but he wasn't out And Harry paid the bills It took some time 'till they sobered up At a chalet in the hills Now rich man, poor man, beggar, thief We're all the same somehow Emptiness is a hungry beast Looking to devour So take hold of your life, don't let it slip away It's rare a chance come twice When it does then it comes with a price to be paid

You've got your travelling show, and you put it on the road You've got your history, you know it's quite a heavy load You saw the light not long ago You caught sweet smell from where the warm winds blow You wiped your dirty feet on the nearest mat You starched your white collar, donned your coat and hat They call you the medicine man, you've got it in your hands Some hip panacea to cure all woes; the same remedy in all new clothes You can't trick me 'cause I can see you're just a Snake oil salesman, snake oil salesman Snake oil salesman, you're just a Snake oil salesman You've got your box of trickery, and you can dazzle them with a smile Your sleight of hand's so slippery, and you can stretch the truth a mile But the desert valley plain's not far ahead You feel the shadows of the buzzards waiting to be fed You've gotta find a diversion sure to distract So now you pay your bit actors and you make a pact They call you the medicine man, you've got it in your hands Some hip panacea to cure all woes; the same remedy in all new clothes You can't trick me 'cause I can see you're just a Snake oil salesman, snake oil salesman Snake oil salesman, you're just a Snake oil salesman Things haven't changed in all these years They massage your pride and you tickle their ears It's a free exchange of fair deceit And it's sure to bring them to their feet So you take your hat off and roll your banners down Harness up your wagon and get out of town You know it won't be long before they come for you How fickle they can be when they can see you're just a Snake oil salesman, snake oil salesman Snake oil salesman, you're just a Snake oil salesman They call you the medicine man, you've got it in your hands Some hip panacea to cure all woes; the same remedy in all new clothes You can't trick me 'cause I can see you're just a Snake oil salesman, snake oil salesman Snake oil salesman, you're just a Snake oil salesman Snake oil salesman, you're just a Snake oil salesman Snake oil salesman, you're just a Snake oil salesman

about

Modern melodic and classic guitar-based rock featuring explosive riffs and infectious singalong hooks, seasoned with tangy off-kilter lyrical observations and sudden harmonic left-turns.

FytaKyte's "Meandersaur" is noises, memories, experiments. Sudden jolts of musical inspiration planted as seeds in moments of stunning clarity...gradually germinating into universal feelings that mature during the hard rain and storms of the day to day. Always searching for an angle, a different perspective - Finding the chord that inspires three different feelings at once.

about

FytaKyte Brisbane, Australia

As a kid, my imagination ruled as King until "Life Got in the Way"...

Then, during the rain and storms of the day-to-day grind, the seeds of expression gradually germinated into feelings that seemed universal; relatable. I found myself searching for an oblique angle, a different perspective and trying to find the chord that inspired three different feelings at once, with the words to match. ... more
