This is one of the first instrumental pieces I ever wrote. I began it in 2009 and finished it in 2010.

With Jon on the drums.


When you tell me that's just the way things are
I wanna say it's not the same
When you tell me just to let it go
You know I never could abstain

A million armies rising up against me
Amassing all across the land
They wanna take apart what I hold dear
I know I have to take a stand

And I'm not afraid to die
Because I'll see you on the other side

Ohh you'll never see us coming
Ohh we're running round the bend
Ohh you'll never see us coming
…Till we come back round again

In the past we've turned and walked away
But now as brothers we will stand true
It's no longer a question of fight or flight
It's just a matter of win or lose

And it won't be easy
But how else will we gain our liberty

Ohh you'll never see us coming
Ohh we're running round the bend
Ohh you'll never see us coming
Your chances have never been more thin

Ohh you'll never see us coming
Ohh we're running round the bend
Ohh you'll never see us coming
Till we come back round again

You'll Never See Us Coming

Daughter (As Cities Burn Cover)

They told me “You take control”
They said to follow your dreams
Do what you love and go
You do what makes you happy

They told me “Be who you are”
They said “Believe in yourself”
Do all the things that you can
Cause you can’t trust no one else

And while it all sounds good and well
I can’t do much but really stop and help
But think of where that’s gotten me today
And I’m glad I finally found another way

Because I tried so hard, followed my own heart
I did just like they said, but I came up empty
Got it all darn wrong from the very start
I'm giving up on that, on the god that I made me

I had been holding out hope
But hope just held out on me
I'd never been so low
I'd never been so empty
Just chasin' my own dreams
Just doing as I pleased
But I’d been missing the key
And I’m coming ‘round to see

That while it all sounds good and well
I can’t do much but really stop and help
But think of where that’s gotten me today
And I’m glad I finally found another way

Because I tried so hard, followed my own heart
I did just like they said, but I came up empty
Got it all darn wrong from the very start
I'm giving up on that, on my self-supremacy

Life's not a fairy tale
Life's not lived out in dreams
There’s more to life than money
There’s more to life than getting things
It’s not about the fame
It’s not about nice stuff
Cause you know when it’s all over
You’ll have to give it up

But though I tried so hard, followed my own heart
I did just like they said, but I came up empty
Gonna do things right with a brand new start
I’m giving in to You, to the God that changed me
