Everything (Never) Changes


It seems like everything I know
Is always changing
But if there's one thing I know for sure
Nothing really changes

Those with power want more
All their talk is cheap
But they live on the fools
They've convinced to believe

It seems like everyone I know
Has become jaded
But if there's one thing I think for sure
The truth is obfuscated

Those with power want more
All their talk is cheap
But they live on the fools
They've convinced to believe

You've been betrayed
By your allegiance
Open your eyes
You're manipulated

It seems like every place I go
Gets more complicated
But if there's one thing I want for sure
It's to be vindicated

Those with power want more
All their talk is cheap
But they live on the fools
They've convinced to believe
 
You've been betrayed
By your allegiance
Open your eyes
You're manipulated

It seems like everything I know
Is always changing
But if there's one thing I know for sure
Nothing really changes

Nothing changes

**Recording Notes - I programmed the drums with my Zoom 234 drum machine and direct input recorded them.  For the distorted parts, I mic'd a Hughes & Kettner Warp 7 head and a generic cab with a Heil PR20 in Magix at my buddy Jeremy's.  I used a Schecter Diamond Series Damian 7-String.  I used the native distortion on the Warp 7 for one side, and Boss Metal Zone MT-2 for the other side.  For the acoustic parts I used Dillon Acoustic, direct line input into Pro Tools.  Recorded vocals with a Heil PR20 in Pro Tools.  For bass, I direct input an Epiphone EB-0 into Pro-Tools. 

Being that this was an early song of mine and I'm going back and recording all the music I've ever written on guitar, I decided to use the opportunity to develop other instruments and my voice.  I've never really sung, only screamed.  So, I figured, since this music is very basic because I was just learning guitar, it would be fitting to also start developing my voice and skills at drums and whatever other instruments I bring in as well.
