We are all responsible...

THE TREES ARE FULL OF PLASTIC

The trees are full of plastic
The air is full of poisoned clouds
The music is so bad
It should be in the water 
Too drastic?
The leaders are mad
And we go for a walk in the burnt country
Amongst the quiet, dead animals
We have no credits for good behaviour
Nothing to spend, to give, or contribute
What were we thinking of?
What were we wishing for?
How did they get it so wrong?
How did they vote for this?

It wasn’t me

Suffocated by media
Deafened by notifications
Everyone agrees with me
They all agree with you
Doesn’t anybody talk
They walk 
In circles and mumble quietly
Scared of their sagging skin
In the mirror 
If someone sees them looking old they’ll be recycled
Too depressing
Too expensive
What were we thinking of?
What were we wishing for?
How did they get it so wrong?
How did we vote for this?

It wasn’t me

Paint me a colour
Make me fit
Eat me young
Soon we’ll cast a net and catch ourselves
Look me in the eye
Tell me you don’t know this already
All ready for tomorrow?
Tell me you don’t know this already
All ready for tomorrow?
Hiding in the safe spaces
Taking pictures of myself
To show the world I don’t say anything
I smile
I am happy
Oh yes, so happy!
Paint a picture
A thousand empty words
A thousand black and white words
No-one’s going home
Or even knows where it is
We’re homeless orphans of empty asylums
The devil’s been met 
The fishing nets bet
What were we thinking of?
What were we wishing for?
How did they get it so wrong?
How did we vote for this?

It wasn’t me...

The trees are full of plastic
"And you'll wonder where the yellow went
When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent"

What were we thinking of?
What were we wishing for?
How did they get it so wrong?
How did we vote for this?

"It wasn't me!"

The trees are full of plastic
"And you'll wonder where the yellow went
When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent"

It wasn't me...

A song a out a bad guy you may have met once or twice.

Lyrics;
He's not my problem
And he ain't yours
Just wants some money
For another score

He's not the monster
He's just a man
Track marks on arms
Leading up to his hands

The desperate eyes
dirty clothes
The crooked smile
The runny nose
He's looking at you
He's coming your way
You'd like to help him
But not today

Yeah he's got his problems
But so do I
He made his bed
And that is why

He's not my problem
Sure ain't yours
Nobody knows that guy
anymore

The monster found him
Way back in school
Became his friend
Oh yeah, the monster was cool

But in the blood
The monster changed
Tore through his mind
Now a shell remains

When the monster roars
The man withdraws
But soon he's crushed
Within it's jaws


Yeah he's got his problems
But so do I
He made his own bed
And that is why

He's not my problem
He ain't yours
He needs a little money
He needs to score

He fights the pain
As best he can
Because,
he's not the monster
He's just a man

Not The Monster

You're My Life/Featuring David Wayne Hardy

Created a backing track, bit-crushed drums, then played along with Squier Classic Vibe 50s Strat. The Cor-Tek Folks in Indonesia crafted one mighty fine Music Machine for The Fender Corporation with this Model. Like it as much as any Fender - among those owned - over the years. It's as good an Electric Guitar as I've ever played at any price. Strings are all I would ever really change on it, too. ;-)

A song about being the awkward guy at the party. At the last college party I ever went to, I was just posted up in a corner like the song says. A girl who was in our friend group kind of kept looking back at me like she wanted me to approach or something... idk. I've kind of always been the shy awkward dude, particularly when it comes to women.

I'm not really worried about women anyway since I'm just super focused on my music right now. I did definitely like her though. Sometimes I still wonder how it would've gone if I just went for it.

Another day, another party where I don't fit in
Only here just to tag along with my best friends
Too loud, too many people and I start to frown
I find an isolated corner and I sit on down
Sipping on my drink I scan the room
Only takes a couple seconds to lock eyes with you
It gets a little too intense and I look away
If I had any courage I'd walk up and say

We're drunk and it's late so
Let me take you home
Now it just feels so right
Let me stay the night

We've met before but we have never really talked
Can't make a move I feel glued to this wall
Steal glances at each other for most of the night
It's so silly of me but I'm just too shy
Having no confidence really bites
I'd rather not be alone tonight

We're drunk and it's late so
Let me take you home
Now it just feels so right
Let me stay the night
We'll turn the lights down low
When I take you home
Come on, come on, let's go
Where we can be alone

You keep looking back at me with light behind your eyes
Looking so beautiful
But if I misread your signal in front of all these people
I'll just feel like a fool

Finally I get up and it's time to go
Looks like I'll be spending the night alone
I can't even bring myself to meet your gaze
You probably don't even like me anyway
Passing by I wonder what you think of me
Guess I'll never know because I'm cowardly

We're drunk and it's late so
Let me take you home
Now it just feels so right
Let me stay the night
We'll turn the lights down low
When I take you home
Come on, come on, let's go
Where we can be alone

Just the Beginning

Take You Home

Just sitting by yourself, thinking about life and all the people you're missing. I think about my dad and how different things would be if he were still alive. I think about the life I want and am moving toward every day. I think of the future, past regrets, everything really.

I'm trying to just live more in the moment. Everything is ok as is. Accept it, then make it better if you must. Nothing can be rushed, everything happens in its own time. I guess I'm just striving for peace.

Faith

Missing You

Entitled Generation

On empty streets
The movement is gone
Oil stained remnants from when we were alive
Back to the silence
The only constant
They won't miss us
Love won't kiss us

Back to the silence
Born from nothing
We're all lost but we keep on rolling

Gotta get away
The infection of these times
Caught out in the open together under sun
Back to the simple
The only constant
They won't miss us
Love won't kiss us

We sat and watched them cry
We sat and watched them cry
Back to the silence
Born from nothing
We're all lost but we keep on rolling
