Empathy, the one selling point
Of everything you don't have to say
Does a predetermined test
Measure out your worthiness
What a bitter cup,
Leaves a sour taste
I won't think anything more of it
I'm innocent, leave me out of it

Out of sight and out of mind
Out of dreams and left behind
Out of ignorance to fade
From the bullets in your...

Magazine, the front cover of
Everything you've come to hate
Am I nothing more than a list
Or irrelevant, dismissed
Am I hurt enough to play the game
Well I don't think anything of it
So why don't you leave me out of it

Out of sight and out of mind
Out of context, out of line
Out of reason to explain
Every bullet on your page
You only ever want a face
To cover up your disgrace
So it keeps the pain at bay
But it leaves a sour taste

Tell me what do I do to get a little respect around here
Maybe life is a little more complicated
Than I would admit when I thought that I knew
The 16 billion ways of seeing past the grave
Of 30 trillion cells, either happenstance or made
Am I wise? Is uncertainty right or a lie?
Oh I try to leave room for my own limited mind

Peace for the piece I said
Peace comes through more than death
A chromatic coloring
And nobody's innocent
But I say again, 
Leave me out of it

Out of sight and out of mind
Out of reason, out of rhyme
Out of meaning to sustain
All the bullets on your page
You're only putting on a face
To cover up your disgrace
So it keeps the pain at bay,
But it leaves a sour taste.

Sour Taste

An acoustic cover of Head Over Heels by Tears for Fears featuring acoustic guitar and ukulele.

Head Over Heels (Acoustic)

A rock song I recorded from the perspective of a rather sinister government entity... It's fun.

Newspeak

A rap song I threw together in an attempt to raise some money for our theater dept and spread the word about their upcoming show, Pippin.

Pinson Valley Rap

Did this rediculous "poem" as a critique of the hipsters of the time about 4 years ago in my dorm room with my roommate. 

The Question is Why

Acoustic Rock. Features mandolin, guitar, bass, piano, and light drums. This song is all about defying form to be true to ourselves. It is a criticism of the proverbial wide path of safety and predictability. In the lyrics, I contend that the safe route is actually dangerous, feeding off of choking the life out of the dreamers of the world. The message is to defy expectations and be who you are, bidding goodbye to the old familiar road of the generic life.

How Deep Is Your Love

I play guitar in a band called Jack The Elbow. I’m mostly a guitarist, but I play some other instruments as well. Most of my sound cloud tracks are acoustic rock songs that I have thrown together with some percussion instruments. It’s mostly experimental acoustic stuff and experiments with production. I’ve been on SoundCloud pretty much since the beginning, so some of the tracks are many years old.
