don’t bother judging me
your religion’s not my guide 
i’m not the enemy
yet it’s always implied 
my life’s eternity
fuck what you think when i die
•  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •
what if i’m wrong
what if i fall
what if i’m beat
i won’t let it get to me 
because i know myself
i think for myself
you should think for yourself
• • • • • • • • • • • • 
should the sky fall down around me
it’d really come as no surprise
that’s just my destiny
it’s up to me to improvise
people come around eventually
doing my best will suffice
•  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •
sometimes i’m wrong
sometimes i fall
sometimes i’m beat
i don’t let it get to me 
because i know myself
i think for myself
you should think for yourself
• • • • • • • • • • • • 
badass guitar solo
• • • • • • • • • • • • 
come a day we all fade away
i really hope that you see
everything will be okay
give others space to be free
no need to be so afraid
life’s our community 
•  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •  •
sometimes you’re wrong
sometimes you fall
sometimes you’re beat
by then i guarantee
you only know yourself
so think for yourself
when you think for yourself
• • • • • • • • • • • • 
think for yourself
there’s no one else 
who knows what’s best for you
or all the shit you’re going through
when you understand
you’re the only one who gives a damn
you’ll start to think it through
what it means to you 
you will find yourself
you will know yourself
you will be yourself
think for yourself

Think For Yourself

all your love                            
all your mind
all your freedom
is all that matters

don’t keep me down
i’m going higher
to touch my wing
on your fire

so let me go
hearts desire
save myself
from the mire

All That Matters

we live our lives within a breadth of time
we make the best of what we've got even if it's not a lot
last night the wind was blowing cold, i felt a chill take hold
left me empty inside as I was buried in thought

we all make our own mistakes
even chances we didn't take
sometimes these lessons learned become who we are
since we're the ones who are left to live our lives with these scars

everything that we choose, some we win, some we lose
and what might be right for me may not be right for you, 
i know the opposite is also true, so please don't think i'm blaming you
i really wish you wouldn't take offense to the things i say

so when that cold wind hit me yesterday
I knew there was something i should say, something i should do
the one who blew it must be me, because everything's all up to you

i don't know what to do, i don't know what to say

those cold winds keep coming around
they blow so cold, i shiver from the sound
last night they even brought me to my knees
only the thought of seeing your face again
kept me from the depths of its freeze

they've come to blow me away

i'd give my life to be with you through time
cause without your touch, i'm really not much
and with those winds all around, i know my end is confound
since the cold from the emptiness drives me insane

i thought you'd be here with me everyday 
now there is nothing i could do, nothing i could say
if the decision were left to me i'd ask
please come home today, just come home today
i need you here with me

those cold winds keep blowing through
they blow so cold, but what can i do
i can hear them blowing through the trees
if i knew you believed in me 
it would keep me from the freeze

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

i’d give my life for you
i need your touch 
without i’m not much

so cold and empty
driving me insane


i need you everyday 
there’s nothing i can do
nothing i can say


just come home today
please come home today
do you need me too
i feel so cold and empty
and it’s driving me insane

Blow Me Away

working man from a broken land
seeks the skies above to lend a hand
while the angels weep for these souls

he closed his eyes listened to the rain
soon drifted off to a higher plane
to a kingdom far from his home
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
we’ve taken care of your every need
your peace of mind will be guaranteed
welcome to knock n knowle
 
warm reminders recalled from the past
when suddenly he’s overwhelmed by a flash  
awareness in the midst of a dream
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
this place is not real
despite what i feel

listen to me listen to me
i’ll set you free you must set me free 
take my hand you never saved our land

watch it all go
it’s only knock n knowle
you should believe in man
i just don’t understand
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
home where i belong
hope is not very strong

angered by the oversight
of being ignored as they had prayed all night
while the angels watched as they mourned

he closed his eyes to take a last glance
disloyalty he just would not chance
by leaving his family behind

without a reason 
we have no meaning
without a rhyme 
then we waste our time
my kingdom is here in this land
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
this place you extol
they call it knock n knowle

listen to me listen to me
i’ll set you free we will be set free 
take my hand this time we have a new plan

i’m not gonna go
it’s only knock n knowle
i’ll be a free man
and i’ll live off the land
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
i’m taking back my mind 
i’m going to build myself some hope
i’ll never stop believing that 
we’ll build this knock n knowle
you can always join us
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
home where i belong
hope is coming along

i stopped depending on angels  
to help now i’m finding that i will survive
using reason to guide me 
my kingdom starts here in my mind

It's Only Knock n Knowle

In December 2009, I decided to teach myself how to make my own music.  I am self-taught with no prior experience in music except for a lifelong love of hard rock.  I don't make music to be famous, I make it to satisfy myself, so if you don't like it, that's okay.  I am always appreciative of constructive criticism, tips, or suggestions.
