Depths of Depravity

politicians hit us against one another and we keep stretching the fabric of a society and the constitution that was created to be very elastic but when we pervert the very meaning of the balance of executive judicial and presidential as well as other powers then we compromise what makes our country such a strong symbol of democracy and justice  in the world

Prisoner 404

My family line has lived in the United States for 150 years but many of them came from Switzerland. I have always been disturbed how naïve it is to not learn from history. There is no standing on the sideline in the war against a tyrants oppression. Ukraine has taken on the leadership mantle of the moral core of the west. As a United States citizen I will continue to support Ukraine in their battle against Russia and against all other influences.

SYLVIA IN HAMILTON

Do you remember when you were a kid? The feeling of being free and controlled at the same time? Now that you’re adult you have the same problem. Inspired by cartoons in the 90s and free range kids in Japan and anime and Saturday afternoons

FREE RONIN

As a farmer myself or 25+ years of active farming I have seen politicians and financial people and other businesses take advantage of farmers in every way imaginable and disrespect our profession.

Farmed and Dangerous

Over the last 30+ years I am personally witnessed the decline of the small medium sized farmer and how businesses all along the value chain take advantage of us. Also politicians use environmental and animal welfare lies that are only partially based on truth to manipulate the public into being afraid. And then they totally disregard other real environmental and welfare issues that only the farmer can deliver best to what is under his or her care but it is too expensive to educate the public and so farmers have to continually comply with more and more red tape and it’s just not worth it in the end it’s such a small margin business.

Teaching the watchers how we escape is valuable data. Escaping the maze is big business. Breaking the Maze could mean big trouble…

Wire Trap

Identity confusion doubt decisions honesty

Escape Horizon

A chill electronic sound about love and struggling with overcoming self doubt about past failures embracing your current relationships even if the past still haunts you

HAUNT ME DOWN

A weary wanderer (maybe you) has decided to leave his self imposed exile in the wilderness and head on the last trail home but escaping his monsters won’t be the only challenge. He will have to beat the demons in his mind to overcome and return home.

Dark Knight of the Soul

He walks slowly under the gray sky,
his hands in his pockets, another vice,
his tired eyes, his heart in the balance,
too many weights on his chest for a while now.

A job that keeps him in a cage,
a house that now seems like sand,
it slips away between his fingers,
and love... only nostalgia.


And so he gets lost behind a bottle,
in a sip that takes him away,
he seeks peace but finds an abyss,
another mistake, another half-awakening.
But he doesn't know, he doesn't know,
that the light is still there.


His shadow dances on the peeling wall,
with a toast to a broken dream,
he tells himself that everything is fine,
but the truth has a different flavor in the glass.

The promises he didn't keep,
the lost looks of those he disappointed,
the fear of saying "I need",
of asking for help, of breaking the dream.


And so he gets lost behind a bottle,
in a sip that takes him away,
he seeks peace but finds an abyss,
another mistake, another half-awakening.
But he doesn't know, he doesn't know,
that the light is still there.


And maybe a hand would be enough,
a voice to tell him: "you're not alone",
that pain doesn't melt at the bottom of a glass,
but is faced one step at a time, slowly.


The dawn arrives above his face,
a glimmer of light inside his hell,
maybe today he'll put that glass down...
maybe today... he'll start over again.

Behind a Bottle

More Than Victory v3 (1)

Will you stand out and shine brightly in a dark world? Jackson Pollock? Beetles? Love? Rage ? What makes a difference? Sacrifice…

Neon Splashdown

This song tells the story of many generations of suffering, sacrifice, and planting seeds in hopes of future harvests.

Born Beneath the Plow

Keep Driving

I wrote this song to reflect the vocation of our mind into this duality that always tells us we need to take away or add and never be static. I personally wrestle with this idea of contentment verse momentum and how to accomplish something meaningful which always brings me back to what is meaning and who is the creator of meaning. With the David statue it is carved out from a block so it is addition by subtraction and with the primordial soup in the primordial numbers there is this intrinsic nature of the universe almost like a language but what is it saying? Is life just a meaningless accident or is it a love letter ? We have the weapons both good and bad and our choice what to do with them.

Primeordial Numbers

If you ever feel like you’re out of sync and you’re a glitch in the matrix this song. Join me for this on this weird wonderful rap ride?

Dream Glitch

A song about that feeling of disconnection with reality and the temptation to renter the atmosphere to engage in the chaos but you know you want to just float about the fray, the pressure, and the pain. You just want to rest, but you know that there is work to be done and they underestimate you so you have the advantage.

Helium

If knowledge is power then is power knowledge. I think we all know that’s not true. So can knowledge be power?

ENTROPY

This song is about adaptation and realizing that while you may share the same pop culture, sports, and music interests with someone there comes a time when you have to stand up and define yourself to step out and create your own future. If you don’t like how a culture or government around you defines reality you have to evolve. To stop reproducing their lies. I know this is not a luxury everyone has but it is something to strive for. We are all human but we have grown numb through arrogance and meaningless pleasure and have looked the other way from people’s suffering. As an American I want to return to our identity as protector of freedom and not isolationist or enforcer of freedom. In my mind Ukraine is a perfect example of carrying the mantle of the freedom of our forefathers and mothers who bled and died to carve freedom from the beasts of this world. All of the pop culture references in this song are just fun examples of how we distract ourselves with anything in order to ignore others.

DRONE

This is a song about judging others and always believing you’re the top of the moral food chain. About always reading the world from the perspective that you are the infallible protagonist and not digesting any divergent opinions. It’s about the stories we tell ourselves and the nature of others in order to rationalize our behavior without getting to know people outside of our comfort zone and our strata.

MADE BY MONSTERS

This is a contemplative piece face on the theme of the Wizard of Oz. It continues with my common themes of searching for identity but also deals with grappling of responsibility for society ills and how we change few things that it’s always someone else’s responsibility but this “Dorothy” in her Ruby slippers is finally confronting some of these sins even though it is changing her. It remains to be seen if that is for the better.

Click Click Boots

This is an exploration of the fear that locks us in and when we lose the pressure that keeps us secure that vacuum disappears and the air goes out of the situation and we have to re-orient ourselves in order to breathe again in uncomfortable situations and this is about the existential struggle of deciding Whether we will be in the mindset of thinking we are going to the dark side of the moon or we will forge a new light and new path.

FEARLOCK

A celebration, a warning, a wandering word looking for a place to rest.

SIREN SONG

This is a story about someone who is aging and looking back considering all the tough decisions they made, and if it was worth it,if all the struggle and risk taking was worth it.

PROOF OF PAIN

This song is about pushing through the hard stuff—when life’s messy, unfair, feeling hopeless. It flips the idea that strength is about being on top; instead, it shows how real power is born from the dirt, from pain, from sticking it out in the valleys. It’s about getting knocked down, getting back up, and helping others do the same.

NIGHT CRAWLER

A world of danger and beauty. When the mountains call the hive divers answer to scale the cliffs for the potent hellfire honey.

Hive Diver

A treatise and condemnation of evil men and women who send their youth to die to protect their own pride and power

POKE THE BEAR

A call to reach out and connect with people’s humanity instead of exposing our worst nature and eating ourselves down to the bone. Dust to Dust. Jesus weeps because we are worth weeping for. All of us

JESUS WEEPS

Could this clarion call be any more clear? Yeah man the carrion are here. Translated that means it’s time to fear the vultures are here :)

VULTURE

No one’s living with the safety on. The sins of the father way heavy on this song

ALL CAP

This is a nuanced look at the nature of power. At how the powerful leaders of all countries often lead with denial(lies) to show a mask or hide in the shadows because they fear showing weakness.
