About the Author
At the first cutting light of August, many years ago, the world got the first glimpse of the entity known henceforth as
Leon Yip. It decided to douse the aforesaid with sunshine, sweets, and loads of love.
Legend has it, so convicting were his words, that upon his request, the world agreed to revolve around him, forever, and ever, and ever.

I call this the
Brigade of JacksThe night drops down before us,
covering the light of day.
Darkness falls but not between us,
stars and moonlight show the way.
Fighting fires while raising flames,
winning prizes but losing games.
If I wanted to play charades,
I would've joined the Jack's brigade.
Grey, is a shade of black.
{Chorus}
The shadows running through my head,
(go on go on, go on go on)
I'll tell them I don't want to
but they say I
Absolutely have to
Look for the blinding lights again,
(come on come on, come on come on)
Spinning round in circles now,
I'll find a way to hide us from the ones who say they'd catch us.
{Post Chorus}
Put on a show just for me,
telling me I'm wasting time.
[First part of second verse lyrics pending]
Alluding now to the story that told of
that oversized ship that broke in two.
Captain called but Jack couldn't get in
the floating apparatus streaming through.
Jack, is not coming back.
{Chorus}
{Bridge}
Put on a show just for me,
telling me I'm wasting time.
Would've asked you to say you're sorry,
but those words are mine.
{Chorus}
