Your Song

Your eyes
I miss them
Life’s sense of humor’s pretty twisted
I feel
So alone
Cause you’re the only thing that I’ve ever known 

Yeah it hurts that I haven’t seen you in so long
And it kills me knowing that you’re already gone
I don’t know what I’m doing cause it feels so wrong
So I’ll  keep writing these words
And they’ll keep singing your song

Whoa oh 
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
They’ll keep singing your song

Not sure
What I miss most
Your smile or the way you’d pull me in close
I’ve tried
To fight it
But our eternal love flame’s been ignited

Yeah it hurts that I haven’t seen you in so long
And it kills me knowing that you’re already gone
I don’t know what I’m doing cause it feels so wrong
So I’ll keep writing these words
And they’ll keep singing your song

Whoa oh 
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
They’ll keep singing your song

Your Song

Track 2 of the Art of Forgiveness EP is finally here!

Following the theme of the forgiveness process, this song is about confronting the negativity that holds you captive and drawing a line.
As always, I hope you enjoy the track!
Lyrics below:

Ruler. Abuser.
Keep us all famished, starved of nourishment.
Watch as we wither and decay.
Do I stand alone in asking you:
"What gives you the power to control?"
What the fuck do I owe you!

You taught us to bend. 
Taught us to break.
Taught us to hate everything.
Have you stole enough?

Despite what you said. 
Despite what you take.
Despite how you hate everything.
Are you strong enough or choking on insecurity?

(That sound in the shadows)
What is it you fear?
Do the ones you've wronged
Keep you paranoid?
Do you feel rebellion in your bones?
Bloodied and wounded I'll suffer abuses no more. 
This wounded dog bites back.

Ruler. Abuser.
Keep us all famished, starved of nourishment.
Watch as we wither and decay.
Do I stand alone in asking you:
"What gives you the power to control?"
What the fuck do I owe you!

Despite what you said. 
Despite what you take.
Despite how you hate everything.
I've learned to hate, how to bend how to break. 
Conditioning only works on the willing. 

When all hope is gone I can find courage. 
What else could you take? 
Find my freedom in loosing everything. 
Bloodied and wounded I'll suffer abuses no more. 
This wounded dog bites back.

Huge huge shout-out to the two amazing singers that worked on this track: u/seanmakesmusic and u/twoeyesopen.

You guys did an amazing job and I truly appreciate all of the effort you put in!

In this song we really tried to capture that early 2000's Underoath style of energy and sound and it's really become one of my favorite tracks to date.

This has been a really really fun one to write and work on and I hope that you guys enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it!

Lyrics:
You’re tripping up
Cast aside the friends that you have
You’re fucking up
Killing all the roots that you had

What did you expect,
What did you expect me to say
You’re not making sense anyway

It's as if in every instance you're making up some symptoms 
for why we'll fall, and it never involves you
You're acting like a victim but we know by your own admission
You'll fake, take, scrape 'til you have it all to yourself

It’s like you wanted this,
ending up alone.
Your blood is on your hands
We gave you what you want
You seemed to have a plan
and so we went along
Marching row by row
Singing our own songs
Singing our own

You’re tripping up
Cast aside the friends that you have
You’re fucking up
Killing all the roots that you had

This is your invitation
To make something of yourself
Don't make us
Expose this front, you're full of lies
You lie to all of us 
It's gone and now I can't believe
We're done, done, done with you 

Now we’re grateful it’s over
Before we come undone
And when you wake in the morning
You won’t have anyone
(We're done, done, done with you)
(We're done, done, done with YOU)
You won't have anyone

Invitation (ft. Seanmakesmusic & Twoeyesopen)

Huge shoutout to seanmakesmusic (vocals) and porella (lyrics) for doing such a great job on this track!
The restrictions for this round were pretty tight. The sound had to be the specified bpm, I had to do a C, G, a, F Progression, and it had to repeat after 4 bars.
Was different and fun! I hope you enjoy :)

Lyrics:
Walking down the hall
My heart slows to a crawl
See you passing by in slow motion
But from you I get no such notion

All I ever think about is you
But you don’t even know my name
It’s a shame
But I guess I’m only meant to be a stranger

I hear your laugh, I see your smile
The spark in your bright blues drives me wild
I’d be your player two in life’s game
I just wish you felt the same

All I ever think about is you
But you don’t even know my name
It’s a shame
But I guess I’m only meant to be a stranger

Our eyes lock from across the room
I’m getting nervous, I’m feeling doomed
But you walk towards me and you wave hi
I wave back but it was meant for another guy

All I ever think about is you
But you don’t even know my name
It’s a shame
But I guess I’m only meant to be a stranger

All I ever think about is you
But you don’t even know my name
It’s a shame
But I guess I’m only meant to be a stranger

Strangers

~ a song about reminiscing on simpler times~

It was way before the pressures of a real life
It was way back then we could learn just how to waste our time
It was way before my dad's moments were final
When you couldn't just wait for your only friend's arrival

It was way before she had stepped all over my heart
Way before my family had fallen apart 
I'm grateful for where I am now
But I'd be lying if I said, that I'm never going to miss
I'd go back there if I had to walk for miles

Show me how to get to you
I love you and I hate you for everything you do
The summer of two thousand thirteen
The summer, the summer, the summer
Yesterday ate too much food;
We didn't mind the fact we're sleeping in past noon
The summer of two thousand thirteen
The summer, the summer, the summer
If you're stoned and I'm sober, what's wrong with me
What's wrong with me
What's wrong with me

Show me how to get to you
I love you and I hate you
Nothing's always more with you
We're living with just make-due
Show me how to get to you
I love you and I hate you
Nothing's always more with you
We're living with just make-due
I felt a spark for the first time tonight
You can't deny the power of simplistic delights
I felt a spark for the first time tonight
You can't deny the power of simplistic delights

Show me how to get to you
I love you and I hate you
Nothing's always more with you
We're living with just make-due
Show me how to get to you
I love you and I hate you
Nothing's always more with you
Living with just make-due
I felt a spark for the first time tonight
You can't deny the power of simplistic delights
I felt a spark for the first time tonight
You can't deny the power of simplistic delights
Ooh

The Summer (Single)

The Summer

Hey Everyone!
Been a crazy couple of months (as we all are well aware)
I hope that anyone listening is staying safe and well in these times.

Here is a fun track that kinda was getting me back in the groove of writing. Shout out to u/cykeefer1001 for throwing down some dope vocals!

Lyrics below and as always, I hope you enjoy!

verse 1
one day in mortal eyes 
I don’t care to live like this 
I create a disguise
just to survive

verse 2
my fear of isolation
I’m bleeding out a heart of sin 
and bad advice
won’t aid this trial

Chorus
unraveling a shell within
I tried coping with world like this like
I’d rather die 
I’d rather die

verse 3
your virtue my conviction
unwillingness and taught conditions
a fear of flight
that mirrors mine

Chorus
unraveling a shell within
I tried coping with world like this like
I’d rather die 
I’d rather die

Bridge
I never thought about of giving up
but I’m bottled up 
with no regrets
I say a prayer for the little ones
the inherited sons 
who lay the pillows to heads.
we lay the pillow to heads.

Chorus
unraveling a shell within
I tried coping with world like this like
I’d rather die 
I’d rather die

Demon Slayer - Chapter 201 (Music inspired by Kimetsu no Yaiba) [Fan-Made Soundtrack]

Cyrus - First off i'd like to say that hearing something that you really connect with makes the writing just pour out. I felt a very natural unforced balance between what I could convey vocally and lyrically to these incredibly written tracks.

The title is about how deep our passions are, our fears, our anger, our joy. And in times like these really a reflection of whats going on inside the human spirit and behind the glass if you will. When we feel bottled up music is such a great way to get out the stuff in the basement. These tracks are stepping inside the human spirit, making our deepest fears ok.

I was really glad to have found a musician and writer to work with and I hope we will share more to come.


Adam - It's not often that things just fall into place and work so when it does, you gotta take advantage of it! Degree was an absolute blast to make and work on especially with everything going on in the world today. Covid-19 has really brought collaborators together and shown us how to make music apart from one another and more so the therapeutic properties.

To me this EP is really a manifestation of all of the emotions and things I’ve struggled with in the last few months which is why some of these songs are really heavy and dark. To me, Recovery is the pinnacle and turning point of all of these emotions. Being able to admit that you have a need and that your soul is searching for something deeper and for peace.

I’m really grateful for everyone who has helped me in this process and all of the good friends and mentors that have encouraged me to make the best music possible! If you like what we’re doing here please don’t hesitate to drop us a line, it means so much to any artist to hear their work is appreciated! I hope you enjoy the release!

Thanks again for everyone listening to the tracks! You guys are awesome!

This is a little sneak peak of whats to come for the work we are doing together!
Hoping to get another collection of songs out soon!

Kape Lere

you can’t fight experience
or multiply my confidence
a person needs
what a person sees
when to fix and when to cease

a hypothetical apology
a systematical analogy
a given right
linking fear of flight 
out in the open for all to see


as charismatic as id like be
a catastrophic will might disagree 
so many claims of wrong
so many claims of right 
and will this ever cease


I built a place but I can’t hide
an empty space to store my pride
I need you now like I’ll need you then
just the same way it’s ever been


So calming now 
here on a vacancy
a better place for us to heal
a common way
for all of us that can’t get along
to heal the world 
and take it back to where it belongs


you guide me you give me
you blind me and give me the strength
you find me and heal me
you mask me and shield and again
