Take Me as I Am
Written by AJ Evans & CJ Andrae

Spending Sunday morning
Looking forward to Tuesday afternoon
We march through the daily grind
Heading to our doom

CHORUS
Take me as I am
I am just a man
Bewildered and confused just like you

Take me as I am
I want to be more than a man
On the edge of greatness looking for something better to do

Dull-drummed Friday evening
With a beer and my TV
No longer in tune with my senses or my feelings
No, that isn’t me

I know out there, someplace hiding
Is a future meant for me
Still I live inside this darkened room
Wonderin’ what will be

REPEAT CHORUS

Something better than you
Something better than you
There’s always something
There’s always someone’s gonna come along and…

REPEAT CHORUS

Oh take me
Open your heart and take me
Open up your world and take me
Don’t ever break me, no
Take me

Cold end

[Group of Deviants] Take Me as I Am

JJ Lochman wrote the main music piece and he asked me to collaborate with him by writing and singing the vocals which I titled 'METAL IN SKIN'. I then wrote and added a breakdown bridge section to complete this amazing song and make it something more familiar to my fan base.

Keep in mind, this is a rough cut of the track which we currently working on in the studio... I am posting it now for a couple of labels that have been interested in my works... so enjoy

Metal in Skin

Time keeps on rolling
Rolling right along
Weaker the will is growing
My resistance ain't that strong

It just keeps on pulling at me
Calling out my name
I know it won't be long 
Before I'm back to my old games

CHORUS
I just want to get my kicks
Come on and give me just one lick
I just want to get my kicks
Get out of the way, I'm gonna get my fix

Voices they are calling
Me back to my old ways
The toll it takes is following me
I wish I could've seen better days

Pushing the plunger - Taking a dive
Nobody here is getting out alive 
I kept the faith and I did what I could
But in reality's face it didn't do any good 

CHORUS
I just want to get my kicks
Come on and give me just one lick
I just want to get my kicks
Get out of the way, I'm gonna get my fix

BRIDGE
I held out for as long as I could
I kept on believing longer than I should
I held out but nobody came
So, I'm off to a familiar place where you won't remember my name 

CHORUS
I just want to get my kicks
Come on and give me just one lick
I just want to get my kicks
Get out of the way, I'm gonna get my fix

AJ Evans - The  AJ4DJS MegaMix

Lyrics Below:

Originally started in 2011 as a Group of Deviants track by Anthony Kremski, Patrick Lincoln and myself during the 'ahh' sessions, but never finished due to inner turmoil in the band. I re-wrote the lyrics as a goodbye to the members of Group of Deviants, yet still managed to get Pat to agree to perform on it because we both love the song so much. I pulled this over for a re-working and release on my solo album. This is one of my favorite G.o.D. songs and am trying to keep Patrick Lincoln on and am sharing production duties with Peter Tanico.

Day 3, AJ added bass track and re-cut preliminary vocals which will be re-recorded.

Closed

I close my eyes so I can't see you
Feel you
I close my life to this world
I don't need the hurt

Living our lives and we are just living lies
Always we are looking with our blinded eyes
Looking forward to a time that will just come and go
Looking at the past with regret for the hope
I'm living this life the hardest I can
Proving to no one that I'm more than man
Hearing the playback waiting on a call back
I was your counterweight when your odds, they were all stacked

I close my eyes so I can't see you
Don't need you
I close my heart to your words
They sound so absurd

Breathing a breath for a life I helped give
Saving your soul when you did not want to live
My eyes, they were glazing 'cause you were so amazing
Wond'ring why it was that you chose not to save me

Living this life and I am loving the pain
I'm giving my all and my all is your gain
You won't recognize me 'cause your eyes never saw me
I'm still living this lie that you broke down then sold me

I close my eyes so I can't see you
Don't need to
I close my life to your world
I don't need the hurt

So, now that you're gone, I remember the games
All of our highs were so completely insane
You say you miss me so much, but there you are gone
and now you need to know something; that I'm moving on

I don't even see what you think I see
and 'I don't even care" is what you bring to me
But, when the memories are gone and they're all that I had
You were gone first and I remember that

I close my eyes so I can't see you
...feel you
I close my heart to your words
They always sounded so absurd

I
Close my world
Close my world
Close my world, my world
and I
Close my heart
Close my heart
Close my heart's torn apart, hey hey.
la di da

Your double-jointed words in this one-sided game
Your unfriendly gestures just drove me insane
I looked to the future and could not gather why
For the friendship to live, it just had to die

I hope you find peace in your life and your mind
Or something more precious that's just yours to find
I've done all I can now I smoke 'til you're gone
From the memory of you I'm moving on

Breakdown
I closed my eyes
...closed my mind
and now I'm driving blind, I'm driving blind
and I closed my heart to all your words
They keep flying by, they're flying by

I close my eyes so I can't see me
So I won't be me
And I sold my life just to be free
(laughing) 
Well, that didn't work out either

I close my world 
Close my world
Close my world, my world 
Oh, and I close my heart
Close my heart 
Close my heart
Let me tear apart your world
Close my eyes
Close my eyes
Close my eyes
'Cause I despise all your lies

Close my mind
Close my mind
Close my mind
'Cause I'd rather stay blind

Every other day brings me memories of you
Driving on two wheels 'til the snow let us through
You guys thought I was mad
Just completely insane
It's all part of the deal if you wanna play my game

I'm living this life and I am loving this shit
'Cause the music we made was the art of the grit
Once in a lifetime and the songs linger on
I'm proud of us still even though we are gone

I close my eyes so I can't see you
I don't need to
and I chose my words so damned carefully
Why don't you understand me?

Closed (Demo) Day 3

I Tried

I believed in the right things
I believed for the right reasons
I still believe in the people
Who've abandoned me for the seasons

I loved for the sake of love 
I don't regret the love that I've given
I'm just wondering how you can believe you're good people?

PRE-CHORUS
I know my words will never get through
You demanded the best from me
While giving me nothing of you

CHROUS
I tried to be a good man
I tried to be the man you wanted me to be
I tried to forgive everything
While still letting you punish me
I tried to live a good life
I tried to love a good love
I tried to fly with broken wings
But, you refuse to let me rise above

I believe I was worth saving
I still believe the world is a good place
I believed it when I was told
I had a place among the human race

I am tired of the ghosts
I am tired of being stuck in the past
I worked my ass off for a fleeting glance
of a love that was supposed to last

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
I know my words don't ever get through
You demanded the best from me
While giving me nothing of you

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge:
Am I really so bad I'm damned to a life alone?
In the shell of house that was supposed to be our home
I worked towards a future that you said we would share
Only to find nobody there
You don't want to own the things that you did
But, you can't stop pointing back at me, kids
Everything I did was because of you
You know that much is true

Don't kid yourselves and right it all off
When it was because of the harm you all caused
You had a chance to make a difference
But you chose for me lies and fear and indifference

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
I know my words they'll never get through
You demanded the best from me
While giving me nothing of you

REPEAT CHORUS

An alternate and shorter version meant for promotion and radio.

I Tried

I Tried (Single Version)

STEM PACK LINK BELOW
Here is the video for my latest track which completes the line up for the album. Personally, I feel this track and the video are my best work the whole way around and it was really nice to be able to bring the visuals to this prior to upcoming hiatus.

I hope this song inspires.

I'm not holding a contest because my situation for the next short while will have me more mobilized and without a work area/studio or a base of operation. So, I'm off to find myself.. 

However, I did create a stem pack for 'Together We Are Love' for anyone who wanted to do a remix of this very important message
and let me say thank you in advance!.

Stem pack download at https://goo.gl/p7i87D

I thank everyone for all the support and friendships over the years.

Here's to a brighter future for us all!

Peace 
AJ

Together We Are Love (Single Version)

It's a mad world
A make me sad world
And to top it off and make it harder
a very bad world

Only in tragedies
Is it we ever see
People banning together in unity

PRE-CHORUS
Come on people now, just try to believe
C'mon people
In the betterment of our lives
By remembering our humanity
We gotta get our act together
Come on people if ya wanna be free
Don't you wanna be free?
Love all one and one the same and the rest will come to be

CHORUS
Together we are love
Together we  are peace
Together we can end the insanity 
Together we are love

It's a messed up society
Death by hands of those with a selfish need
Arguing in the names of God's
That the non-believers must bleed

Only when tragedy falls
Does everyone share one Facebook wall
For a day or two, then onto something new
Something that needs their attention for a 3 day cause

 PRE-CHORUS
Come on people now, just try to believe
C'mon people
In the betterment of our lives
By remembering ort humanity
We gotta bring ourselves together
Come on people if ya wanna be free
Love always conquers hate 
Love all one and one the same and the rest will come to be

CHORUS
Together we are love
Together we  are peace
Together we could end the insanity 
Together we are love
If it was the end of this world
What would they inscribe 
As the footnote and the bottom line 
Of this Earth-bound tribe?

Would we be worthy of trying again?
Or would they just decide let it all end?
Can we try to slow down and, maybe, not pretend
...that we're so evolved 
...and there's nothing wrong
    except for a few that just won't bend

CHORUS
Together we are love
Together we  are peace
Together we could end the insanity 
Together we are love

Together we are love
Together we are peace
Together we could end the insanity 
Together we are peace

Repeat Chorus to fade
