This track has an orchestral beginning followed by a touch of Hip-Hop, descending into some dark Trip-Hop. Yet another track featuring my vocals. You'd think I would have learnt by now!!

Story behind the song
This track was entered into a Hip-Hop competition earlier this year. It achieved third place out of eleven entries. Hip-Hop is not really my strength, which is why I went down the Trip-Hop route.
The lyrics in this song, in part, originate from 'Rack Of Ruin' which was a track that my first band 'Anathema Device' used to perform back in 1996/7.
Lyrics
Don’t you think it’s sad, that I came so far to fall
A broken emblem of stardom, shuffling in the concert hall
The papers said I didn’t have the decency to let it lie
Once it was a mint, now I just get by
In the frame, out the frame, in the media spotlight
All the stupid things I’ve done, have become my birthright
Once you got me pacified, you bled my soul dry
Tungsten tongue of promises, a thousand lies in the blink of an eye
Ever much the gifted child, with looks and attitude to match
Sipping on champagne that now has turned to natch
I had a mirror addiction, but I couldn’t see
Now I’m a pale reflection of what I used to be.
