timh666 (Gwent Stefani) Stoner rock from the streets of Joburg. Tasteful and well written songs with a splash of stoner rock heaviness. Amazing vocal performance on this album and killer lead parts. Rhythm sections grooves hard. Rocking album for those who are fans of the stoner rock genre. Favorite track: Animals.

Such a delicate weakness to keep your heart on the run Pick up all the pieces, you got a mouth like gun Hot lead in the chamber son, you've got a trigger disease You know it's got a hold of you Black and blue ‘till you bleed I don't need your rules I won't play by them You could be somebody else's fool And play it cool 'till the end Walk your life on a tightrope, the tension keeps you afloat Attitude at this altitude is just a piss in the breeze No time to come undone, spitting blood through your teeth Nobody got control of you Black and blue till you bleed I don't need your rules I won't play by them You could be somebody else's fool Just a tool 'till the end

Animals 02:46
Play like kids in the sun. Stuck in the mud, I’m stuck in the middle with you. My god, what a view. Building castles in our minds. “A beautiful way to spend the time. Don’t you think?” We sink into the sand. Sink into the sand. Just animals, but we tangle with reality. Melting away in the sun. Skipping like stones on a pond. Over the edge, under the ledge. Behind my rose-tinted eyes. As we float out with the tide. Juxtaposed. Manifest. Shift. The Paradigm. If only for a time. Just animals, but we tangle with reality. Melting away in the sun. Just animals. Just animals.

Anything 03:40
Plunder the neon in the moonlight. It’s all a game if ya chose to play. I gamble all my sweat on a heartache. Curse and howl at the moon to feel closer to you. Not what I had in mind You hit me like a cannonball between the eyes. Always come prepared, she said For anything. Well the strip, it was built to get hit. All these bandits and thieves they just do as they please. I count myself among you, a witness to the mob. Raising more than tension When it’s hell that we want Just what I had in mind You hit me like a cannonball between the eyes. Always come prepared, she said For anything.

Gunslinger 02:45
If I found some way to help you, helped you to keep your mind? Safety in those simple values that you shoot down every time. No need for pointing fingers, I’m the trigger you’re the gun. That you wanna cover. Don’t bother. Fist that’s ruling everyone. I’ve got a question for you. When is enough, enough for you? Did you find a way to breakthrough? Become a symbol of the time. Something to ease the tension. My blood won't help you stay afloat. I’ve got a question for you. When is enough, enough? I’ve got a question for you. When is enough, enough? Well you know in life you only reap what you sow. Well you know in life you only reap what you sow. So go! Reap in all that you have sown.

Cannibals with a taste for greed. A scattered tribe with a tendency leaning towards the obscene. Lights that shimmer lead them home. Unto the shore of skin and broken bones. As far as the eye can see. Day turns to night. The blind lead the blind. Flock of sheep, no shepherds for hire. Fixed on the smokestack. Creep into the sky, To block the sun. Who pays the piper calls the tune. Under the influence. Run down as far as the eye can see. Day turns to night The blind lead the blind. Run down as far as the eye can see. The blind lead the blind. The blind lead the blind.

The Divide 03:07
High hopes for the towns below, They don’t know that the enemy is poverty. Uproot the right man And recognize that bowing out is never wrong. Shake down the sheriff now He’s got pockets deeper than a gold mine Time to get it right, The fight is wasting you. Now don’t you see there’s enough for you and me. As long as we can learn to divide. What is mine. Peel back the cataracts Unless you like what you see? Turn back to face the wrap Give in, give up and face the truth. Now don’t you see there’s enough for you and me. As long as we can learn to divide. What is mine. Peel Back Unless You Turn Back And Face The Truth

The Fall 03:15
Say what you will, do what you must It don’t matter that much to me What’s with the fretting? What’s with the fuss? When we’ve got all the time in the world to be anything that we want So baby let’s roll the bones And watch them lie where they’ve fallen The future’s not mapped out for us The here and now has arrived I’m levitating to new heights But the art of it all is in the fall Tell you the truth, I could get used to making all the same mistakes with you again and again So baby let’s roll the bones And watch them lie where they’ve fallen The future’s not mapped out for us The here and now has arrived

Stun Grenade 02:49
Mindful propaganda. Deal with the commotion. Walls shield the fear but it won't subside. Soldiers sent in to take the heat. Youthful minds don’t skip a beat. Warning shots been fired. Time to make your move. So move… over and out. Everybody at attention, A plan is in motion. We see it in each other’s eyes. So out of the blue. Wasted breath won’t fan this heat. Pendulum swings to a different beat. Warning shots been fired. Time to make your move. So move… over and out.

Shark Attack 02:30

Atom Bomb 02:38
There’s no need to suffer like me, Gifts from above. Thy will be done. Eyes set ablaze, consumed by the flame. They will be done. Chasing the sun. Never saw it coming but you blew me away. Never saw it coming… Time standing still, forever we will regret what’s to come, Thy will is done. Blink of an eye, crimson red skies. Fusion, confusion, Progress denied. Never saw it coming but you blew me away. Never saw it coming... Never saw it coming but you blew me away. Never saw it coming...

Hostage 05:58
Get away from this old town No way in and no way out Between nowhere And my dreams are shared out in the wind Whispers to oblivion Old friends I hold you dear. To the ghosts in my head I’m your hostage Long gone Not forgotten Don’t want to get away from you Just as much a part of me Taken the bitter Take in the sweet Memories worth more than gold Mixed in with the lumps of coal A sum of everyone One Fleeting moment To usher in the dawn A toast to the ones both here and gone. To live, to lose, to love. My offerings are just an echo in the void To the ghosts in my head I’m your hostage Long gone Not forgotten Don’t want to get away from you Just as much a part of me Taken the bitter Take in the sweet Get away from this old town No way in and no way out Between nowhere And my dreams are shared out in the wind Whispers to oblivion Old friends I hold you dear. To live, to lose, to love One Fleeting moment To usher in the dawn A toast to the ones both here and gone. Don’t want to get away from you Just as much a part of me Taken the bitter Take in the sweet Leave your fears and hopes behind. Commit to the night To the ghosts in my head I’m your hostage Long gone Not forgotten
