Reality Check EP

Lyrics:

I’ve got this feeling stuck inside my throat
Pretending’s easy, but it cuts me close
I see the pattern that so many show
A hollow echo where my soul should go
Like empty puppets moving down the line
They walk through life and never feel the time

But when I hear those notes begin to play
So deep, they stir the pain I hide away
Something within begins to spark
It pulls me out, it hits the mark

I dance with no control
I dance to free my soul
I dance until my body screams I'm real
Even if it hurts, I’ll dance to heal
I’ll dance through every tear
Until the dawn is near

This feeling’s lodged, still burning in my throat
But I won’t fake the lines that others wrote
Though many choose to follow and conform
I’ll break the silence, step into the storm
No longer hollow, no more painted grace
I’ll find my rhythm, I’ll reclaim my space

And when I hear those notes begin to play
So deep, they stir the pain I hide away
Something within begins to spark
It pulls me out, it hits the mark

I dance with no control
I dance to free my soul
I dance until my body screams I'm real
Even if it hurts, I’ll dance to heal
I’ll dance through every tear
Until the dawn is near

I’m here to truly be
To live and not just breathe
I’ll follow what is mine
No strings, no shallow lines
No more a hollow frame
I rise and shed the shame

I dance with all I am
No mask, no hidden plan
I dance until my fire lights the skies

And in that truth, my spirit never dies
I’ll dance through every tear
Until the dawn is near

All I Am

A bit of an early farewell to this year...

At the beginning of this year, I set some goals for myself in my life that I wanted to reach. I was honestly astounded at the results I got, and 2018 for sure exceeded all my expectations. However, something's just felt missing...

I wanted my music to evolve into something new that would be really astounding, but while it hasn't inherently gotten worse, my style has completely stagnated and I'm finding it hard to make anything else. I also haven't been nearly as productive this year as I've wanted to, partially due to being busy but also due to a horrible work ethic and work flow. It's gotten me to a breaking point.

So that's why I'm saying farewell this early. I need to take a step back, re-evaluate many of the things that are in my life, figure out what needs to stay and what needs to go. From there, I can also hopefully work harder than ever to improve my sound and workflow, so that I can go into 2019 sounding the way I wanted to earlier this year. So I can come back, better than ever.

And so, with that, I wish you all a Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy, Happy New Year!

[verse] 
Last night was a failure 
Deep down in a pungent chamber 
I awake to the thought that I’m losing sleep 
Great… 

And I can’t remember 
How I came to depend on a savior 
Or why I let it get to me 
OK 

Divide into fractions 
Conversations dry like the rations 
A little salt goes a long way 
It’ll all be OK 

Each verse is a lie of omission 
In the dirt in the fetal position 
I’m on a journey one way 
I’m emerging unscathed 

[interlude] 
Nothing on the frontier is without a definite purpose 
No individual is without a definite purpose either 
Survival’s too difficult 

[Chorus] 
Better get somebody for the end of days 
Somebody who can lend a blade 
When the world is a war zone you’ll know 

Somebody who can mend a wound 
Somebody who depends on you 
When the walls are asunder you’ll know 
I’m your liability 

[Verse] 
No more questions 
I’ve had enough of your goddamn questions 
Maybe I’m a sucker for irreverence 
Maybe I will suffer from irrelevance 

Each life is a type of decision 
In the mud I am one with resistance 
I’m on a journey one way 
I’m emerging unscathed 

[Chorus] 

[Bridge] 
There are no perfect people 
I know you’re only trying 
But I’ve forgotten how to be 
Alive 
[End Chorus] 
Better get somebody for the end of days 
Somebody who can lend a blade 
When the world is a war zone you’ll know 
You’ll know better 

Somebody who can mend a wound 
Somebody who depends on you 
When the walls are asunder you’ll know 

You better get somebody for the end of days 
Somebody who can lend a blade 
When the world is a war zone you’ll know 
You’ll know better 

Somebody who can mend a wound 
Somebody who depends on you 
When the walls are asunder you’ll know 
You’ll know better 

You’ll know better 
I’m you liability

ALDEN GROVES - Liability

This is one of the stronger tracks on the album in my opinion. I had the idea to take the film metaphor and run with it for all the lyrics. Fortunately, I got a crash course in camera lingo. At one point in 2016 I really wanted to get into cinematography, so I got a 1-on-1 lesson with SoBroNo3 to learn camerawork. It pretty quickly became apparent to me that I was way out of my depth and out of my element, but I did learn a ton of cool camera and film terminology that I was able to incorporate into the lyrics. Plus, he was just a really professional and cool dude, so props to him for that. I’m still not savvy with a camera though, tragically.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1] 
You float like a slow pan 
Look ma, no hands 
Look pa, no frame—no shame 
Numb me up like cocaine 

Can’t focus—shaky cam 
Which moment makes a man cause 
I’m hoping it just began 
I’m hoping it just began 

I'm kissing that green-screen goodbye 
Frame left—no light 
Frame right—floodlight 
No stops in the highlights 
Just noise over twilight 

No love for the close-up 
Dolled up for the dolly shot 
Do you want the part or not? 
Do you want the part or not? 

[Prechorus] 
Places everybody—you’re out of frame 
Places everybody—I’m out of place 
Places everybody—you’re out of frame 
Places everybody—I’m out of place 

[Chorus] 
Long exposure 
Open my aperture 
Tear me open until you’re sure 
You’re sure 

[Verse] 
Just tear me open 
I’d kill to expose the film 
I’d die for a highlight reel 
Of the times you and I had a smile like 

Just spare me the details 
Low light low ISO 
Is this it? I dunno 
Is this it? I don’t know 

[Prechorus] 

[Chorus] 
[Rap] 
When the cast and the crew can’t act 
And the cameraman is tracking action backwards 
Cruel producers use and abuse the actors 
And rumor has it they could switch directors 

Know that I’ll be backstage sitting 
With a passé rhythm and a massive grin 
Looking like a humdrum bum 
With “I need you” in my lungs 
And “I miss you” on my tongue 
That’s love kid 

Action—this one’s tragic 
Here I want the acting to be rapid and climactic 
Could you cry a bit or do a funny accent? 
Picture it as paramount if you want a reaction 

Let the walls down 
You can ham it up a notch 
Tell me everything and I could be your confidant 
I could be your agent 
We could be a juggernaut 
Places everybody cause I’m hoping for another shot 

Action 

[Bridge x2] 
Two steps to the left 
Two more for effect 
Two steps to the right 
Last take of the night 
Take two steps back 
We gon’ fade to black 
Two steps to the front 
For the cinema 

[Chorus x2]

The Cinema

Lyrics:
[verse 1]:
as my flame weakened drowning in my strife
and as the weight of the world held down my mind

you brought in hope
while i struggled all alone
with you held close
i know we'll never fall


[pre-chorus]
take my hand we'll escape to 
where we belong and we'll be safe
by your side watching your smile
fading in the fleeting light

[chorus]
if you're scared i'll be here to carry you through the dark
through thick and thin i hope i keep my place in your heart
my other half you give me strength to push on ahead
never cold you make me feel whole again

[verse 2]
i was falling into darkness
i thought i'd never escape
but you were my harness
with you i feel
like i matter and am worth so much
and you heal all the scars and burns

[verse 3]
i want to know
what i did to deserve you
and just know you are so special
always in my heart
