Devil Down


This song was written by my buddy Larry Greer on drums and a friend of his, Ian Murphy on guitar.  The music was absolutely great and he was cool enough to let me attempt vocals on it.  I still need to add bass to the first half of the song, but it seems like it's coming along.


silence is the worst form of cowardice

 enslave and you rape 

and the world ignores it again 
when will we wake up? 
when will we take action? 
this happens every time 

war on women? 
civil rights? 
pedophiles? 
discrimination? 

we'd rather put a stupid rainbow on our facebook pic 
than take 5 minutes to seek out the truth

silence is the worst form of cowardice

when it comes to users 
you wear the crown 
and when you fall it's just 
one more devil down

isis is evil in it's purest form 
this is the war for which we've been born

and to the apathetic hollywood elites 
WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU NOW!?

when it comes to users 
you wear the crown 
and when you fall it's just 
one more devil down

When All is Sorrow (rough mix)


This is not really one of my songs.  My buddy Larry wrote and recorded this and was cool enough to let me toy with vocals on it.  I'm not settled on this yet, but this is a rough hack.


the things i overcome that keep me numb my life wasted on stupid dreams
i spent my life always on the run time to set aside childish things
trapped myself with promises I regret the mistakes i make when i agree
i'm meant to go with the wind on a whim, just unchained and free
i'm trapped by indecision now struggling to be the best i can be
but i'm smothered by expectation to be someone other than me
witness now the change of heart as cold as stone, it cannot bleed
i'm shutting down now to survive
i'm shutting off so i can breathe

time does not feel the same when all is sorrow
 when all is sorrow

do you think you can tame me use me just to change me
i can't save you i'm moving onward
now
i will not be your exit out
because
i can't save you i'm moving onward
i'm not your rewind i'm not your lifeline
i can't save you i'm moving onward
don't pin your hopes on me in the end you'll always see
i can't save you i'm moving onward

can you stand on your own two feet
without me, without love, can you be
the best version of yourself
not defined by someone else
who you are, who you were,
who you'll be
can you be you, without me?
cause i'm not always going to be here
you can't live your life paralyzed in fear
so i'm moving on so you can learn to stand
and when you find yourself I'll come back again
but until that day this is how far I'll go
cause time does not feel the same
when all is sorrow
