I wrote this song at Newark airport. While waiting on a plane to Las Vegas. ( I won the trip a part o￼f sales comp) As I was trying to write, I noticed people looking at me. I kept thinking about what others would think about me and I decided I didn’t care. The other part of the song is knowing that I’m going to the city of sin. ￼I may do some bad things and so I’m sort of asking God to forgive me in advance.

Flee the embrace of utopia
Recover from our amnesia
Lift a reversed serpent
Our souls may walk as servants

Fires ablaze, on beacon towers
Refracted into a scaremonger
A wake up call, a hurricane
Into all pineal glands

Are we to blame, to damn, and you stand up high?
Under your idealistic regime, will we survive?

Can we never hide our pagan eyes
May it always shine til fake heavens die
Can we never hide

Can we never hide our pagan eyes
When we’re demonized, we rise and smile
Can we never hide
Open wide your pagan eyes

Lightning strikes, through all the wonders
For those who perceive like no others
Turns out no puppet rulers
Outplay their real masters

Still we’re to blame, to damn, and you hang on tight
Under your idealistic regime, we will survive

Can we never hide our pagan eyes
May it always shine til fake heavens die
Can we never hide

Can we never hide our pagan eyes
When we’re demonized, we rise and smile
Can we never hide
Open wide your pagan eyes

One thing that I’ve learned from this utter madness in life
Expectations they pile overshadow your sight
It’s all a fuzzy dream before we truly see it right
Just set our inner vision alight
We will never, never let it die

Can we never hide our pagan eyes
May it always shine til fake heavens die
Can we never hide

Can we never hide our pagan eyes
When we’re demonized, we rise and smile
Can we never hide
Open wide your pagan eyes

(Lyrics)
It doesn’t matter I don’t want to hear it 
Been working on healing and cleansing my spirit 
My heart is shattered 
Should of never let you near it 
Yeah I hadda learn it the hard way 
Now I pour my heart out and just sing 
Changing my ways what will the future bring 
And if you did my wrong I don’t want anything 

It’s hard to hold on what I’m feeling 
These memories I have are so chilling 
I don’t want to get stuck in the past 
Focused on the moment ‘cause life don’t last 
Only thing on my mind is building 
I want to touch the sky so I break the ceiling 
These fears in my head I been killing 
I’m praying to God can you heal me 

It doesn’t matter I don’t want to hear it 
Been working on healing and cleansing my spirit 
My heart is shattered 
Should of never let you near it 
Yeah I hadda learn it the hard way 
Now I pour my heart out and just sing 
Changing my ways what will the future bring 
And if you did my wrong I don’t want anything

Yeah it hurts that I’m making you cry 
I been trapped in my thoughts just to get by
I know I get lost but it’ll all be alright 
Working on changing ‘cause one day I’ll die
I act like I’m ok 
But most the time I’m just floating 
I gotta get rid of this pain that I’m holding 
Leave something unattended and it will start growing 

It doesn’t matter I don’t want to hear it 
Been working on healing and cleansing my spirit 
My heart is shattered 
Should of never let you near it 
Yeah I hadda learn it the hard way 
Now I pour my heart out and just sing 
Changing my ways what will the future bring 
And if you did my wrong I don’t want anything

It doesn't matter (silver & soju)

daydreaming in a nightmare

I was always a very anxious person, and it got worse and worse as I got older.  I finally decided to work on it, through a combination of sobriety, exercise, writing music, reading, meditating, whatever it took.  One spring afternoon it was perfect weather in Jersey, and I was laying on a hammock and started coming up with ground rules about how I wasn't going to let anxiety (and people) get to me anymore.  And it actually worked!   But it is SO nu-metal of me to talk about my mental health. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm not "down with the sickness".
