Daniel's Delusion

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!

Peace, Love & Harmony in the Midst of Chaos

Lyrics:

One day this might be a day I portray
My body will betray
Colors and feelings they will fade
Fade away to grey

...to grey
fade away to grey

Leaves on the ground
spread all around
Leaves on the ground
Leaves on the ground
Decayed before they're found

I was hoping it was truth
My sky was painted blue
Just an illusion to a few
Those few wish they never knew

never knew
those few wish never knew

We're just a few
We're just a few
Washed up decaying away - x 2

..decaying away x4

Leaves on the ground
leaves on the ground
Spread out all around

Leaves on the ground
Leaves on the ground
Decayed before they're found - x2

Leaves on the Ground

Lyrics:

Me and my father
we use to sit and watch

Watching shimmering waters
as we both fish

Then there comes a day
when it all goes away

Past is the past
just a memory to stay

Me and my brother
we were once best friends

Then we grew apart
on our separate ends

On our separate ends x3

Long gone good days
you're never here to stay  x3


You're never here to stay
You're never here to stay

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

A Day To Pass

Sometimes I want

Because I know

It holds my fate

Will I be
will I be?

Happy.......

My mind is twisted and running causing all my pain
It's hard to do all the simple little things

Please reconnect my soul
Please rewire my mind x3

I find myself wondering round and round again
Not knowing where to stop or even begin

Please reconnect my soul
Please rewire my mind x3

​Lyrics:

Take your time
dont run away
if i'm blind
as they say
then i fall
then i fall
eventually, eventually

Pick me up Deadfall
Lay me down
Pick me up
Dead Fall
no one around

It's rough out there
keep your cool
never live
in leaking roofs
never wear, wear and tear
have to get demolition crews

Deadfall, lay me down
Deadfall, no one around

Pick me up Deadfall
Lay me down Deadfall
no one around

Take your time
don't run away
if I'm as blind
as they say
then I'll fall
then I'll fall
eventually 
eventually

DEADFALL

By:  J. Ryan Daniel (Some old garage rock I recorded back in the day)

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

Lyrics:

What's that noise?
emitting from the ground

It's all around - x4

What's these birds?
lying on the ground

It's all around
It's all around

Something's happening here
have no fear
Something's happening here
have no fear
have no fear

It's all OK
told us that we're fine - x4

Phenomena

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

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

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.
