Take the fruit, take its colour, take its shape, take it take it Bite the skin to taste reality Is it sweet? Is it sweet? Spit the venom from your teeth You take it down, you take it down Just know this heartbeat wasn't only mine...

Full Circle 04:29
Full Circle Repeat, reverse, start all over How the moon takes me prisoner until the light takes over It holds me till wake to the darkened glow of my own selfinflicted full circle Give me inspiration instead of frustration Take me from this self-indulgent need to feel hopelessness and excuse myself from doing anything Productivity How the doctor said what scars you have I don’t know if you’re from this earth How the doctor said what scars you have Well I don’t know how you can see my soul Just bite down on this top lip How I can blame this on me tripping on the past and all the shit that’s lingering But what if I had some little discipline to excuse the excuse of this feeling And how I wait for my escape How the doctor said what scars you have I don’t know if you’re from this earth How the doctor said what scars you have Well I don’t know how you can see my soul Just bite down on this top lip, pull it up, pull it out And the scars do form on this frosted iron case All I’m asking for, is all that I already know, these answers are ready to break All the push and pull that I know very well I’m not ready, I’m not ready, am I? Just bite down on this top lip Just bite down on this top lip Just bite down on your top lip Just bite down on this top lip

Nightcliff Road Hope, hope is like corner signs Riding that thin white line into the horizon And smiles, smiles like faded signs Unsure of which way to ride, as if taking me home It could be hidden in a touch or a careless brush Without temptation, but I can’t help myself On my way back home, on my way back home On that road to the inevitable, hands are in my eyes

I've come to know it's not the way you see me, it's just the way you were taught to see..

about

Matt Ryder Darwin, Australia

“Matt Ryder plays guitar, stompbox and sings. And does it really well. His rootsy style could be compared to say John Butler or Ben Harper, though his songs and playing have a powerful, uptempo percussive edge. Guitarists should come and check him out to be blown away by the guys skills; two handed tapping, hitting the guitar, harmonics everywhere… What can’t he do?”
