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.

Its finally completed. The lyrics of the song.
As I was composing the lyrics, I was picturing a story like how two people can always be fighting with each other and always breaking down, but how one can still be completely self-sacrificing to the other in light of this cruel world with many many bad pepople picking at what they cannot feel for themselves.
Its called the
BRIGADE OF JACKS. the word "Jack" has many meanings in the song, like, manipulaters, witty royalty, and of course, the titanic character.
note - not influenced by any personal event.
When darkness falls before us,
covering the light of day.
Darkness falls but not between us,
stars and moonlight shine the way.
Fighting fires while fanning flames, I'm
winning the prizes but losing the game.
If I wanted to play charades,
I would've joined the Jack's brigade.
Grey, is a shade of black.
Chasing shadows in 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 that say they'd catch us.
Put on a show for me.
Tell me that I'm wasting time.
Painting a picture of that
forty thousand dollar paper heart.
Extravagance portrays the way
the pandemonium even found its start.
Alluding now to the story that tells of
the oversized ship that broke in two.
Rose called but Jack couldn't get in the
floating apparatus streaming through.
Jack, is not coming back.
Chasing shadows in 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 that say they'd catch us.
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.
(Get ammunition, take aim and fire,
put down the Jack's brigade.
And I will hold you,
we will take cover,
with this last seranade.)Yepp. Thats it. HAHA!
Yay, promos are over.
etched in my heart
