Lyrics:

"Six feet under? Nah, I ain’t departed.
Buckle up, my brothers; I’m just gettin’ started."

Grave dirt cracked, I rose in flame,
Carved my truth from a world of shame.
Hands still bleeding, boots still worn,
Been dead before, I’m just reborn.
Knuckles hit gravel, dust kicks high,
Grin full of trouble, fire in my eye.

Smoke in my lungs, mud on my hands,
Ain’t got much, but I still stand.

If the demons come calling to break my will,
I’ll put a foot up their ass, just for the thrill.
Six feet under, dirt on my face,
Still throwing punches in my resting place.

Told me “sit down,” but I stood my ground,
Kicked the door in when they came around.
Every scar’s a medal, every bruise a brand,
You ain’t alive till you learn to stand.
World tried to crush me, I bit back twice,
Carved my truth in blood and vice

Blood on my knuckles, grin on my jaw,
You can’t scare a man who’s seen it all.

If the demons come calling to break my will,
I’ll put a foot up their ass, just for the thrill.
Six feet under, dirt on my face,
Still throwing punches in my resting place.

Death carved my name into stone too soon,
I walked right out of that shallow tomb.
Tried to take my breath, I bit the rope,
Turned the gallows into a joke.
Cracked a grin, then laughed, “Not yet,”
“I ain’t cashed in all my debt.”

They dropped me low, said I’d rot and stay,
But I clawed right out...made the dirt obey.
Every scar I wear’s just proof I live,
Every shot they take just makes me give.

Ghost in the gears, crack in the chain,
Built in the smoke, baptized in pain.
They wrote me off ...I rewrote the book,
Now death steps back when I give that look.

Boots still stomp, jaw still set,
Ain’t met a grave that’s held me yet.
Tongue like brass, words like lead,
I spit 'til the silence bleeds instead.

I burn through fear, I laugh through hell,
Ain’t got a soul left to sell.
Six feet down, but I still fight,
Talk your talk ...I live that bite.

Grit in my teeth, pulse in my head,
Blood in my hands says I’m not dead.

If death comes calling to break my will,
I’ll put a foot up its ass, just for the thrill.
Six feet under, dirt on my face,
Still throwing punches in my resting place.

"Nope...this ain't my dying day motherfucker!"

Metal Oath

This track explores the inevitable decay of hope and the realization that the wheels have finally come undone. Exploring themes of aging, isolation, and the exposure of our darkest secrets, "On a Long Enough Timeline" is a cynical look at mortality. It asks the question: Was I chosen, or was this just a joke? The answer is buried in the smoke. 

A dark Velvet-Trip soundscape about the inevitability of the end.

Sub-bass, goth guitars, whispered vocals, and noir aesthetics.

Lyrics:

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Is it the end or just the intro
I could have been a hero or an old joke
Was I chosen, was it spoken
I have to know
On a long enough timeline we all get the smoke
I need to know

[Chorus]
The road's gone on too long
The wheels have come undone
The rearview mirror's lost its reflection
I wish I was still young
I wish I still had some hope that my voice mattered or it would make a difference
So I carry on
And I hold on
Till they come and take me home
Take me home

[Post-Chorus]
Take me home

[Verse 2]
Can you hear me, am I fading
I need to know
On a long enough timeline
We all die alone
I need to know

[Chorus]
The road's gone on too long
The wheels have come undone
The rearview mirror's lost its reflection
I wish I was still young
I wish I still had some hope that my voice mattered or it would make a difference
So I carry on
And I hold on
Till they come and take me home
Take me home

[Post-Chorus]
Take me home

[Bridge]
The door's closed, it's too late
But there's something I need to say
They got the best of us and I need to know
If there's a hell below we're all gonna go
And on a long enough timeline
We all get exposed

[Chorus]
The road's gone on too long
The wheels have come undone
The rearview mirror's lost its reflection
I wish I was still young
I wish I still had some hope that my voice mattered or it would make a difference
So I carry on
And I hold on
Till they come and take me home
Take me home

[Outro]
Take me home

Conduit - On a Long Enough Timeline

Master Baiter

[Verse]
They ride the winds of silver skies
Turning shadows into light that flies
Evil bends to their gentle hand
Goodness born where none could stand

[Prechorus]
They whisper truths in paradox
Unlocking hearts
Unbreaking locks

[Chorus]
Cloud dancers spinning through the air
Balancing the dark with a tender care
Where evil blooms
The good will grow
They weave a world the stars don’t know

[Verse 2]
Their laughter melts the sharpest night
Eyes like prisms
Bending light
They teach the fire to softly burn
A lesson even saints can’t learn

[Prechorus]
Opposites meet in their embrace
Two sides of love
One single face

[Chorus]
Cloud dancers spinning through the air
Balancing the dark with a tender care
Where evil blooms
The good will grow
They weave a world the stars don’t know

Cloud Dancers

Six Feet

[Intro]
Shut up!

Shut up!

They can hear you think.
Make it stop… or make it sink.

[Verse 1]
Every voice inside my head’s got a fucking name,
They line up, scream, and point the blame.
I taste tomorrow but it’s yesterday,
And I can’t tell which one will stay.I’m the sinner, the saint, the king, the prey,
The walls talk back in shades of gray.
Can’t find the truth, it keeps its grin,
Trapped in the war that I live in.

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear ‘em crawl inside my skull,
They pull the strings, I lose control.

[Chorus]
I’m fucking up reality—
And it’s fucking up me!
All these voices fight for the throne—
I’m never alone!
I’m fucking up reality—
And it’s fucking up me!
The world bends, breaks, and won’t let stay—
I fade away!

[Verse 2]
Faces melt, the sky bleeds deep,
Every lie hides something beneath.
Truth cuts deep but it still won’t show,
The stitches hold but the cracks still grow.
My pulse is gone but I still scream,
I lost the plot inside the dream.
Schizo saint or mental fraud—
I am every broken god.

[Pre-Chorus]
Pull the wires under my skin,
Wake me up—I’ll die again.

[Chorus]
I’m fucking up reality—
And it’s fucking up me!
All these voices fight for the throne—
I’m never alone!
I’m fucking up reality—
And it’s fucking up me!
Truth is a curse, a foul ballet—
I fade away!

[Breakdown]
You can’t cure what’s already burned!
You can’t teach what can’t return!
I am the preacher of the mind decayed,
The sermon screams God’s afraid!


“Wake me up!” – can’t sleep again!
“Shut me down!” – I count to ten!
“Turn it off!” – still I remain!
“Turn it off!” – remember my name!

[Final Chorus]
I’m fucking up reality—
And it’s fucking up me!
World’s just noise that won’t obey—
I fade away!
I’m fucking up reality—
And it’s fucking up me!
The truth dissolves, I’ll make it pay—
I fade away!

[Outro]
If they ask for me... tell them I’m all of them.


Every one.

Reality’s a Lie

Music is my therapy, its my release from past military trauma. Its never been about fame or fortune for me, just sharing some spark of hope in the world.  Been playing guitar and bass since I was a kid.  Gradually transitioned to learning keyboard and drums as well.  Started writing my own songs when I was 15.  I’ve written well over 1000 songs in my lifetime . I'm a fully functioning studio and work with various musicians worldwide. I enjoy working with all genres.  Im registered with ASCAP and hope and pray daily someone will buy my songs. Check out my website at rorydavidmusic.com. Soundcloud claims you can sell vinyls on here, I'm trying to sell 2.  I have ISRC numbers for every song yet they are making life a living hell, so I'll probably find a different site soon.
