Here is my EP Self-Cognizant. It was quietly in the works for about 9 months, and is 100% solo. I wrote, recorded, produced, arranged, edited, mixed, and mastered this project all by myself to give you the complete unfiltered view into the mind of Dichotomy. Let me know what you think of it

Damaged

Fade

This was written about being honest about realizing needing help, and not being too proud to try and handle everything yourself. Remember, always check on your friends and family. Even if they say they're alright, they may appreciate it more than they let on.

Lyrics below...

Verse
You've been knocked down, before
But never like, this
You feel the numbness consume your, extremities
The weight feels like it increased by 10 fold
You swore you'd never quit but
It's getting old

So can you rise up once more
Like before you lost your air
Or are you done for?

(Sorry, what was that? Oh um)

Chorus
It's ok
I'm alright
My life
It's alright
I'm fine
I'm alright
Stop asking
I'm alright

Verse 
See if you give in
And just lay here
Then you don't have to worry about
Letting him down
Or her
Or them anymore
Just accept this loss
With your back on the floor

But if you rise up
Like you did before
You could be one more push from winning your war

Chorus
It's ok
I'm alright
My life
It's alright
I'm fine
I'm alright
Stop asking
I'm alright

It's ok
I'm alright
My life
It's alright
I'm fine
I'm alright
Fine I'm not alright

Bridge
Because you've lost your fight
I know your not alright
How can you be alright
When you're so diminished 
From within

Because you're not alright
Your toxic self makes you think
Only you can save yourself

Hollowed in from out
I need a voice to save me now

Interlude
And then
Out of the darkness
You're graced with the voice of compassion
That you so desperately needed

And for some reason.......
Some fucking reason
You reply numbly

Chorus
It's ok
I'm alright
My life
It's alright
I'm fine
I'm alright
Stop asking
I'm alright

It's ok
I'm alright
My life
It's alright
I'm fine
I'm alright
Fine I'm not alright

I'm not alright with laying here everyday
I'm not alright with those same words said today
I'm not alright that I'm my own worst enemy
Wither away
This hollowness is ending today!

Waltz Of The Timid (demo)

A piano piece I wrote a couple years ago that I just wanted to finally put out.

Forever Untrounced

A song I wrote about the process of tossing and turning to finally releasing and being at peace

Vindicated In Peace

Here's a song I wrote on piano, then added some strings to it to make it more interesting. Hope you enjoy it

Heart Of Jocundity

New instrumental I made called neglected malignance. Let me know what you think

Neglected Malignance Demo

Stagnation is regression.

I wrote this about a year ago when I was just starting to get into guitar. It's about being stagnate in life is really being regressive, so you always need to move forward with what you want to be and do. It's a little different from what I've put out, but made it a bit ago. Hope you enjoy (lyrics below)

Stagnation:

Intro (x2)
Stagnation!
Is Regression!

(Let! Me! Go!)

Verse 1:
Progress to the bottom
As I lived in the stillness,
Deafened to light
Like I'm lost in my resilience.

Every word that you said,
I harbored!

The weight of your rhetoric
Sank deep into my ideology,
Depressed my rationale
That time's a lost art in me.

Every step that I took,
Left me martyred!

Pre-chorus:
I followed,
Till I couldn't breath.
I faltered,
Now I fracture!

Chorus:
Oh, this life I'm breaking
Left, me, stagnating.
It's the kind of life
That drowned, me, since I was young.

Oh, this life I'm making
Can't, be, mistaken.
It's the kind of life
I was meant to build,
My whole life!

Pre-verse:
My life,
It's my life.
My life,
I'm taking it back!

Verse 2:
Disloyal to my misfit,
Suffocates me worthless,
It's time to let go
And regress to your conscious.

I was blinded,
Waded in your silence,
The screams erupt within
As it breaches,
My surface!

Pre-chorus:
I followed,
Till I couldn't see.
I faltered,
Now I'm broken!

Chorus:
Oh, this life I'm breaking
Left, me, stagnating.
It's the kind of life
That drowned, me, since I was young.

Oh, this life I'm shaping
Don't, be, mistaken.
It's the kind of life
I was meant to create,
My whole life!

Bridge:
I won't, stagnate again! (I won't)
I won't, progress that existence! (I won't)
This time, the choice is mine! (It's mine)
Killing off what's left before I die! (Before I die)

Take your bones (bones), unbroken!
Accept the pain (pain), unspoken!
Rebuild myself how I'm meant to be! (Meant to be)
By resurrecting what I want to be! (Want to be)

I followed-
Till I lost me.
So I broke me-
To set my, self, free! (Set me free!)

Chorus:
Oh, this life I'm breaking
Left, me, stagnating.
It's the kind of life
That drowned, me, since I was young.

Oh, this life I've molded,
Won't, leave me broken.
It's the kind of life
I was meant to build,
My whole life!

Stagnation

A demo instrumental idea I made quickly. Enjoy

Immobilized (demo)

This song is about being who and what you want to be, and not just being what others imagine you to be.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I've had enough, I've seen enough,
Of the fallacies, that you're holding over me.

You tell your associates, about my lack of sin,
But you fail to see the truth that I believe in.

The stories your told of me, are not reality,
They're outdated, and misrepresent me.

I have to say it, but you have to know,
I'm not the kid you made me out to be, so let me go!

Chorus:
I am, I was, I will be,
Your fallen angel.

Crushed by the weight of your idol,
No longer.

I am, I was, I'll always be
Your fallen angel.

Burned wings without your halo,
But only in your eyes.

Verse 2:
I'm sorry you didn't know, I tried to tell you,
But being blinded by your faith, I couldn't hurt you.

Please don't love me less, I'm still your blood and flesh,
Shouldn't that trump the evil you think that I possess?

I still believe in good, and I still believe I'm good,
I'm here to live this life, not live in fear of what's next.

I want to be more, and I want to see the world,
Maybe a sunrise, feel the warmth, and feel alive.

Chorus:
I am, I was, I will be,
Your fallen angel.

Crushed by the weight of your idol,
No longer.

I am, I was, I'll always be
Your fallen angel.

Burned wings without your halo,
But only in your eyes!

Bridge:
Your eyes, your lies,
All they ever did was, 
Criticize me,
Minimize me,
Even compromise me.
Spoke no truth,
As you failed to redefine me.

Refined, as the worlds collide.
Living in the middle, I saw both sides.
The lies, buried me alive.
But I rise, to a new horizon, so

I, part ways with your book of life,
No more rhetoric, I'm gone, goodbye.
This'll hurt, but I hope you know and feel,
That all love lost in time must heal!

Pre-chorus:
I must heal!
Congeal!
I reveal, that in time, we will heal!
We must heal!
I'm gone!

Chorus:
I am, I was, I will be,
Your fallen angel.

Crushed by the weight of your idol,
No longer.

I am, I was, I'll always be
Your fallen angel.

Burned wings without your halo,
But only in your...

I am, I was, I will be,
Your fallen angel.

Crushed by the weight of your idol,
No longer.

I am, I was, I'll always be
Your fallen angel.

Burned wings without your halo,
But only in your eyes!

Fallen Angel (rough)

Hello, this is the profile for my original music that I write. I use midi in logic pro 9 and X, to create original beats and scores, and then use Digital Performer 9 to record vocals and rap. It is fun. I try to be artistic with every song so message me if one of my songs makes you think of something or want to know the meaning behind a song
