about

The first single from my work-in-progress, as-yet-untitled second album, hopefully coming early next year.

It's OK. I'm still here.

lyrics

Came home late from school one day
Tears in your eyes you wouldn't tell me why
Teacher said you're a quiet child
With a brilliant future if you'd only try

Your mother and me, we didn't get along
Damaged people getting worse each day
It wasn't your fault, you did nothing wrong
Broke my heart to see you move away

Close your eyes and hug me closer
I'll protect you from all the monsters
Under your bed

You tried to tell them what you could see
In the wee small hours when you couldn't sleep
They laughed and teased and called you names
Even your best friend said that you're a creep

I didn't leave the house for days
Couldn't face the outside world alone
When you said I miss you dad
I died inside, thought I could not go on

Close your eyes and hug me closer
I'll protect you from all the monsters
Under your bed

Their slimy hands, their staring eyes
Scaly skin and crooked smiles
Hide in shadows til you dream
Make nightmares out of everything

Plant wicked thoughts like rotten seeds
Dwell on all my darkest deeds
Pull me down into the night
For you I won't give up the fight

Close your eyes and hug me closer
Please protect me from all the monsters
Under my bed

In trying to make up for lost time
I was pushing you away
You say that you know what I did
Where do you think you heard those tales

The misplaced wisdom of the young
You're tired of walking on eggshells
I never asked you to hold back
Never told you not to be yourself

Choke
by Alpha Chrome Yayo

supported by 5 fans who also own “Monsters”

I’ve always loved the funky side of Alpha. But the dark, wonderfully creepy ballads shine on this album! Tracks like Snuff ‘Em Out (my fav thx to a vid Alpha shared last month), Veins or Meat Ribbons are amazing. Synthwave sounds stale to me lately because of similar sound, omnipresent arpeggiators, weak melodies and basic harmonic structure, but Alpha’s unusual chord progressions as well as comparatively exotic melodies entertain me. I’ll be returning to this EP a lot; happy for the cas Tichounko
