I rocked that same hair style back in '98

Still haven't gotten around to making a Snakepant and Rocco account. So here's another SnR song on my account. Rocco on harmony and guitar. He wrote the shit out of this song. I have literally known Rocco since 1998, and we met playing the punk rock that he is describing here. I'm on drums, guitar, bass, and vocals. Forgive the slurring, as we were so unbelieveably hammered when we recorded this. This is a rare "Ryan sings" Snakepants and Rocco song- as Rocco is a drug-addled tyrant prone to violent humpings.

Okay this was rushed, I had to do it quickly, I haven't had a lot of alone time, so the sound really sucks, I just really like my lyrics and that's all. My voice/guitar playing in this is pathetic lol. Lyrics are of course written by me, please don't steal, not that you'd want to.

Lyrics:

I wasn't made for easy
Yeah this skin is fucking tough
I'm a cold blooded animal
I run on instinct not on luck

I built these castle walls
with my own two hands
and i'll be damned if you try to break them
with your foolish little plans

Here you are
on your knees
for forgiveness you're begging me please
but there is no reason I should honour you
For your damn near treachery

A wound in battle is nothing but a scratch x2

He made a disguise
he made his walls look like mine
to confuse me
but if fuelled me
I don't have that dense of a mind

That's how I won
Yeah I warned you, you were damned
My walls are stronger
My soldiers are wiser
Than your foolish little plans

He said a wound in battle is nothing but a scratch x2

'Cause I wasn't made for easy
Yeah this skin is fucking tough
I'm a cold blooded animal
I run on instinct not on luck

But now I'm confused
I'm not sure what I should do
Left in this rubble still standing here
with nothing but a cold hard truth

I feared this day
When everything changed
And we both learned that there's no trusting
Anything that you say

'Cause he said a wound in battle is nothing but a scratch
He thought he had me in the palm of his hands
But he never did realize how much my young heart could withstand
He thought he had me in the palm of his hands

No I wasn't made for easy
Yeah, this life has always been tough,
This life has always been tough,
That's why I built these walls for me,
When you have walls, you don't need love.

My dog's name is Batman. We call her Bats. She makes Chewbacca noises when she's being a pickle to us. I think it's because she wants to be one of those mumbling Soundcloud rapper someday. So I remixed her wookie noises into this dumb electronic music song.

Batman Is A Chewbacca Pickle

Smalltime Vault is my one-man recording project. I've been writing these songs my whole life. But for most of my life I did not have the means to record them. Now I have a humble demo studio in the basement of my house, where I live with my wonderful little family. 

I started off as an angry kid playing punk rock. Being in the DIY, punk rock, drunken shit-show that was Einstein really formed a lot of the world for me. I still love that stuff, but I've grown to love some other (quiter) genres too. So forgive me if I jump around with my influences.

I'm still an active musician, as the bass player and singer for the party band Go Gadget Go!. This is a local cover band that I'm lucky to have with most of the old guys from Einstein. It's still loud and drunken, but it's just cover songs in rowdy bars now. And also, I'm Snakepants in the not-so-famed punk rock recording outfit of Snakepants and Rocco. That's a ton of fun, but we don't produce much. My dear friend Rocco is busy half of the time, and a useless douche for the other half of the time. So Smalltime Vault is my outlet, where I breath a little life into songs that I've written over the last 20-something years. 

So thanks for visiting the basement and for taking a listen.
