PERPETUAL IMMATURITY
I write songs, then hand them to dreamers around the world to sing.
This page is home base for my album Perpetual Immaturity:
the streams, the stories, and a full lyric fanzine for anyone who reads the credits.
About
I’m Kris, the songwriter behind TheLateWilliams and lyricsBYkris®. I don’t really “frontman” my own songs — I write them, produce them, and then hunt down independent artists and dreamers to bring them to life.
Family, faith, addiction, mental health, conspiracies, wrestling and YouTube culture — they all end up in the notebook. Perpetual Immaturity is a snapshot of that: a bunch of ballads written by a fool who refuses to grow up, but is trying to grow better.
This site is:
- A home for the Perpetual Immaturity lyric fanzine
- A place to link out to the records and videos
- A little monument to the moustache logo and the stories behind the songs
Scroll down to the Albums section to listen, or jump straight into the Fanzine to read along while you play the tracks.

The Late Williams · Integrity Edition
Thank you for wandering through Perpetual Immaturity — a collection of moments, mistakes, and miracles. Each lyric was written by an independent fool chasing a feeling that never quite goes away. If these pages made you think, smile, ache, or breathe a little deeper, then they’ve done their job.
Keep creating. Keep forgiving. Keep being human.
