Pre-order Use The Fire album physical and digital here: http://www.thepetebox.com/usethefire

Here it is, Number One - the eighth track off my second album THePETEBOX - Use The Fire //
'The track is made up entirely of sounds from THePETEBOX's voice (and an electric guitar!)
The drums, bass and synth lines have all been created with beatbox and vocal sounds from Pete’s voice, which he has sampled into electronic instruments and played through those instruments to make the track.
The sonic concept of THePETEBOX Use The Fire album is; Beatbox performed with the dynamic of the physical instrument.
The takes of the recordings make up this video.'

Lyrics:
I will wait, when will you come?
Yeah my heart is on the shelf
But I don’t know the monster I become
Now I sit and face him all alone
And here I will remain till you return
Until then I’m comin’, yeah I’m comin’ down
The last of my money is in my hands
And oh how that mirror it doesn’t lie
Cos now I know you’ve come inside my home
My heart is slower now, it won’t slow down

I didn’t want to stay with you forever
But now you’ve carved your name inside my soul
I can’t look the other way
We’d fly all through the night and dance together
And my heart did race we’re nose to nose
I can’t look the other way

You know I always miss you when you’ve gone
And you know that feeling we make I don’t want it to fade out
Want it to fade out
But you lied when you said that you never wanted to take
You wanted to take
And I know that I’ve got to leave this all behind

I didn’t want to stay with you forever
But now you’ve carved your name inside my soul
I can’t look the other way
We’d fly all through the night and dance together
And my heart did race we’re nose to nose
I can’t look the other way

I found myself standing there at the crossroads
How I got here nobody knows
But a storm is brewin’ and the time is comin’
I can feel my mind race to the line I’m runnin’
You’re there but I ain’t scared
Got my wits about me and I’ve come prepared
With my pen in my hand I got my master plan
Cos if I get this all down I got the upper hand
I see you, the dark side of me
Every day trynna’ take the best of me
Every way fightin’ with the rest of me
And if I let you be you’ll be the death of me
But fuck that, I ain’t havin’ that
Cos this is my life I’m gonna take it back
Spent too many years in this circus act
Now I’m ready to fight you gotta face the fact
Whatever you are I kick you back to the dust
Following my path in myself I trust
A new me shedding off your bogus force
Always lookin’ at the light
In control of my thoughts
You’re the dark figure always at my heels
But now I know just how fucking good it feels
To finally divorce from this world of fiction
And to cut my ties from you

I didn’t want to stay with you forever
But now you’ve carved your name inside my soul
I can’t look the other way
We’d fly all through the night and dance together
And my heart did race we’re nose to nose
I can’t look the other way
