My Ways

Lyrics:

I thought things had changed, 
it's not true 

Is it me to blame? 
or just you? 

I thought things had changed, 
re-arranged, 
things were tamed..... 
it's the same, 
it's the same, 

Maybe it's me to blame, 
and not you, 

We once had a flame, 
now it's blue, 

You think things have changed, 
come the fangs, 
become untamed.... 
it's the same, 

I thought things had changed, 
it's not true, 

Is it me to blame? 
or just you? 

I thought things had changed, 
re-arranged, 
things were tamed, 
it's the same, 
I thought things were tamed, 
it's the same.

Peace, Love & Harmony in the Midst of Chaos

Revolver of Love

Lyrics:

Oh so now you're sad, 
You still gotta live till you die, 
Oh Mr. Ruger, 
Won't you give me my wings to fly, 

Oh so now you're scared, 
It's OK cause ain't nobody there, 
Oh you're so bored now, 
Whether you be here or you're there, 

I remember screaming, 
Nobody heard any shouts, 
Oh child you were beaten, 
Get your ass up, go out and play!

AFTERMATH

Lyrics below, but first a description and dedication to my dearest friend Pace Alexander who the world lost on 4-9-2017. 

My best friend Pace of (Sons of the Dark Dawn) passed away. First, my condolences to Joey, his wife, his son and all of his family. I met Pace 9 months ago and he turned out to be one of the biggest influences in my life. We were brothers in spirit and he was my mentor as well. He inspired and did his best to lift up the people he came in contact with. I'll miss talking to him on the phone for hours and hours every week. He would always tell me.."Stand tall truth Viking brother". He will always be with me. I've never had someone make such an impact in my life in a 9 month period. He changed me forever for the positive. That's what Pace was all about.

Lyrics: 

The time didn't seem to last, 
And my heart aches, 
Seems you went a little too fast, 
Hope you forgave my mistakes, 

Oooh, 
Everything will be fine, 

Oooh, these passings pass, 
Yeah these passings pass, 
Oooh, I'm all dried up, 
Trying to move on alas, 

Oooh, hope you'll wait for me, 
Oooh, my dearest friend, 
I know It'll sink in, 
Cause all these passings pass, 

I know I'll see you one day, 
Come together at last, 

Oooh, these passings pass, 
Oooh, these passings pass, 

I know these passings pass, 
And we'll be together at last.

Lyrics:

We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home

Oooh...Oooh...
Oooh...Oooh...

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead

Oooh...Oooh...
Oooh...Oooh...

Lyrics:

Did they have you feeling wrong
Feel like you don't belong
Everyday's that same ol song?

Or were you just confused
Perhaps you were abused
For reasons that you used

Those bruises on your arm
Obsessed with your self-harm
Takes cold out, feels real warm

....feels real warm

Passed...away today
Passed...away today

Watching you decline
Keep saying that you're fine
Such a long long friend of mine  x2

.....feels real warm

Passed...away today
Passed...away today

Still remember your suicide
you went away
should have stayed

Lyrics:  

Made of Steel
What's the deal?
a little rubbery my friend 

What's the deal 
missing wheel
in the distance I see the end

It was my part
to protect
not infect them with my tainted heart

Made of Steel 
seems to feel
a little rubbery my friend

What's the deal
missing wheel
in the distance I see the end

To think I failed you 
breaks my heart
rips me apart

Thick skinned man
they found a way
to break you

I was hard
but in the end
I was killed so softly man

I was hard 
but in the end
I was killed so softly man

Killed so softly 
killed so softly man

Missing Wheel

For my first solo project I introduce "Brain Dead". Again, I am now a independent musician and solo, so all songs are written by me and so on. Getting back to my garage/punk style with a bit of psychedelic mixed in.

Lyrics:

Man it all kicked off when I was about 15 years old
got in with that hard never doing what I was told

Guess I'm brain dead
Brain Dead

As the years went by
got old and veins worn thin
all the tears I've cried
and the places that I've been

Gave up long ago
now I'm just a empty shell
now just let me be
if I die just wish me well

Guess I'm brain dead
Brain Dead

Man it all kicked off when I was about 15 years old
got in with that hard never doing what I was told
on and on again everything I tried I failed
next thing that I know I'm needing money for my bail

Guess I'm brain dead
Brain Dead

As the years went by got old and veins worn thin
all the tears I cried and places that I've been
gave up long ago
just let me be.....

Brain Dead

Lyrics:

I was raised up in D.C.
melting pot of anxiety

Down to Tennessee I flee
but the shit just follows me

Now I'm Diagnosed and Dosed x4

They say I'm going to hell
They were right it's these southern jails
This darkness stays by me
Got no place to hide you see

And now I'm Diagnosed and Dosed x 4

I was raised up in D.C.
Melting pot of anxiety
Down to Tennessee I flee
But the shit just follows me

Now I'm Diagnosed and Dosed x4

Diagnosed & Dosed

By: J. Ryan Daniel
Dedicated to one of my favorite musicians, Elliott Smith. R.I.P. (Lyrics Below) 

Lyrics: 
Elliott did she stab you? 
Straight through your heart, 
Elliott did she stab you? Is it true? 

(Chorus) 
Or was there too much pain? 
Driving you insane, 
Something in your veins, 
And fell apart

Elliott Did She Stab You?

LYRICS:  

I've got real bad brains
They make me insane

I find, I find it hard
keep it tame
falling down
can't get up
bring me down

Broken man
in need of a helping hand
hostile land
hostile land

I meet no demands
no demands
no demands
no demands
no, no demands

Who understands?
who, who understands?

(hmmmm)

I'm never giving in
never giving in
giving in
no, never giving in

No Demands

Lyrics:

Blood's boiling
Itching, scratching
till I am scabbed
it's my fixation

I'm strung I've drawn
Leap and a fall
driving me mad
wish I was sad

so sad
so sad
so sad

Blood's boiling
itching, scratching
till I am scabbed
my fixation
strong and driving
driving me mad
wish I was sad
wish I was sad
wish I was mad
or sad...

Some type of emotion
would be
better than
what I have
what I have
what I have
what I have

Blood's boiling
itching, scratching
till I am scabbed
my fixation

My Fixation

Lyrics: 

Locked up in this fucking cage!
Locked up in this fucking cage!
Locked up in this fucking cage!
Let me out of this fucking cage!

We gather here today 
to inform you, you must obey
bow to the sinister one, or be done

Roam with me my son
defy all
defy, defy, defy all
defy

Rest within a grip
Climbing out don't slip

Fall into that hole
now you've lost control

Find that peace within
Live within your sins

Darkness will begin
to wear your soul down thin

THINNER!
THINNER!
THINNER!
THINNER!

Lyrics:

Trying to to rest my head
Trying to fight off dread
Time to take some meds
Large quantities I'm fed

So I may rest in peace
Or ease my mind at least 
My insanity increased
Insanity increased

I follow emotions
I try 
I follow emotions
I try
I try

I want to overcome
Say fight that war and won
Just one more day of fun
Only to find none! x2

(It's only lack of prayer)

I follow emotions!
I try x4

Lyrics:

I remember, I remember
when this old road was dirt

I remember, I remember
this creek full of perch

I remember, I remember
trees far as I can see

I remember, I remember
a light inside of me

Run and hide
Run and hide
It's too unbearable to see! x2

hmmm
hmmm

Run and hide
Run and hide
It's too unbearable to see x2

I remember 
a better world
a better place to be

I remember
when I was full of love
smiling at the sea

Run and hide
Run and hide
It's too unbearable to see x2

RUN & HIDE

Lyrics:

So it seems we've parted ways
Yes we've seen our better days
Wish I could have helped you more
A brother to me and I'm left torn

(Chorus)
Shouldn't have to end like this
25 years seemed so bliss

I tried so hard to bring you back
I lost to the pull of dope & smack

Deep Within
I always knew I couldn't win
A thousand mile eclipsed highway

(Chorus)

Deep Within x2

DEEP WITHIN

Lyrics:

This is how it has to be
always about ol me ol me
take the pressure, put aside
all the pain that you can hide

Let em know who's number one
walk around flashing my gun
cause I'm the big man, I'm the one
One man army and a son

Strut myself all day long
yet my life is a long sad song
my secrets I keep so damn deep
never come out, never creep

Rant politics all fucking day
just a parrot with nothing to say
I'm the bad guy, yes I am
never gave a fuck, never gave a damn

Pain!
Pain!
Suicide

Strut myself all day long
yet my life is a long sad song
my secrets I keep so damn deep
never come out, no they never creep

This is how it has to be
always about ol me ol me
take the pressure, put aside
all the pain that you can hide

Suffer In Silence

No Moral

R.I.P. Pace.  My best friend and mentor. Changed my life forever and will be missed forever.

I was born in Huntsville. I use to dig in my father's drawers looking for music and would pop in whatever I could find. I ended up listening to Bruce Springsteen, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Led Zeppelin, Prince. Just whatever I could find in his collection. So, my interest in music began at a young age compared to most. I would literally go to bed listening to music with headphones on when I was that age. Music was in my veins and has been ever since. As I got older, around the age of 11 bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Beck, Radiohead & many others began blossoming. I wasn't a fan of hair metal, so these bands offered something different and it was something I liked. Up till this point I had indulged in Classic Rock. Bands like the Doors, CCR, Beatles, Johnny Cash, and a little bit of punk rock. We had a punk rock scene in D.C. Henry Rollins was from our city and Bad Brains as well. I listened to other punk bands like Dead Kennedy's and GG Allin. Around 14 years old I got my first guitar. It was a acoustic guitar my father got me for either my birthday or Christmas. I think it was my birthday though. I never took lessons, I just bought a big poster with guitar chords and would sit there everyday learning them. I use to have to walk everywhere and remember coming up with songs in my head, but never had the means to record them and they would just fade away within a day. By the time I was 18 yrs old I landed myself in jail for the first of many times to come. Playing guitar had long been something I was doing, but drinking and partying was my new favorite thing. I never really got into any big trouble, but I've had my fair share of time in the jails. About 5 years ago I decided to clean up my act and start writing music. I bought some software, new equipment and began recording. I never thought it would get me anywhere, I was just doing it for fun really. Then people began to respond to what I would write. People really liked my music and it inspired me to continue and to be better. So, I'm still on that road.
