A new song for a new album I'll be working on for 2014! 

I want to thank Rob Flato for helping me with the production, mixing and mastering. Enjoy! 

Lyrics:

Why are you, just sitting there?
Make a move, 
show me proof, un-hide the truths,
do you love me just as much as I do you?

Is it up in my head,
all the things that you said?
Twisting knots, intimate thoughts I can't undo. 

Why can't you see
we're meant to be 
like lock and key,
soul mates,
with you, I remember me.

Is it up in my head, all the things that you said? 

I am - shifting and changing through time
you are - sinking inside of the same paradigm 
we are - deep inside, behind eyes, where we keep all of our lies. 
we are - empty

Why am I, just sitting here?
Writing blue, no new news, I have no clue,
why is it so hard to function without you? 

There's a void in my head, 
from all the things that you said.
Twisting knots, little thoughts I misconstrued.

Why can't you be
what I need you to be?
Why can't you see
what I need you to see? 
I love you for making me, me. 

There's a void in my head, from all the things left unsaid. 

You are - shifting and changing through time.
I am - sinking inside of the same paradigm
we are - deep inside, behind eyes, where we keep all of our lies
we are - empty

It's amazing where you can get your inspiration from. For this particular song, I was challenged by a friend to write a song about this one issue of x-men (May '97 #43) entitled: "Cable"
This particularly was crazy for me because I've NEVER written ANYTHING like this before. I loved what I came up with, and hopefully it makes my challenger smile! 

Lyrics: 
Cable's a man, who is divided by his own mind. 
He's fighting a war between two sides and he never leaves a man behind. 

He's a broken soldier 
born from a lie
No past, no future,
a man without a time line
A legend, a leader
made from his pain
A soldier he will always remain. 

A telepathically terrified child catches his eyes. 
Secrets are shared to help him realize, that suffering is all apart of life.

He's a broken soldier 
born from a lie
No past, no future,
a man without a time line
A legend, a leader
made from his pain
A soldier he will always remain. 

Never surrender
Never surrender
Never surrender to the war that rages inside (repeat)

We are broken soldiers
born in to lies
dark past, dark future
silencing our battle cry
Legends and leaders 
all made through pain
and soldiers we will always remain.

Broken Soldier

practicing using Logic Live Loops

Rooftop dreams running through my head. 
Thinking of a life that I once lived. 
I'm telling myself all these things I'm not
Happiness all forgot.

|What to do but to move on, move on
|What to do but to move on, move on
|What to do but to move on - move on 
(x2)

I have my memories, not what you think of me
All I wanna do is follow my dreams
I ain't no pedigree by what you decree
just by looking at me.

Rooftop Dreams

23.09.15 - Rooftop Dreams

Little town where you came from
Ain’t so little anymore. 
Dead ends don’t stop you from going 
Where you’ve never gone before. 
The world was so large when you grew up, 
But the earth is so small. 
Thank god your eyes still shine as bright 
As the day you were born. 

Life moves quickly 
And you can’t keep up. 
It’s always changing
It’s always never enough. 

Little town… 

Little town with the dirt paths that 
Lead to the meadow
With starlight dotting the night. 
Empty buildings stand tall 
Where you once touched the sky
Broken windows, dark holes
Where spiders go to hide. 

Life moves quickly
And you can’t keep up
It’s always changing
It’s always never enough

Little town…

Little town my home sweet home
Stay in my heart forevermore. 
May the grass stay green and lush
Let it shine on, as we lose touch.

But life moves quickly
And you can’t keep up
It’s always changing
It's always changing
It's always changing
It’s always never enough

Little town
Oh little town 
Little town

Little Town

experimenting, found in a recent cleanout. Archives-6

Tracing hearts on a mirror
that will become invisible.
Unless a warm breath is near
I exhale with a sigh of relief
and I see what I thought was imaginary.

Drawing lines in the sand
for a game I didn't understand
Who wins in the end? 
I cry out in a great disbelief
Who you are to me now is a strange mystery.

What a waste of time

Looking at old pictures 
from when we all were having fun
Why is it hard to remember
the last moment of a goodbye embrace
I'll never see you again, lost to infinite space.

What a waste of time. 

Holding on by a thread.
Still hung up on the last thing you said.
Am I too sensitive?
Is it hard to put trust in a friend when the trust has been broken again and again and again and again and again. 

What a waste of time
But not a waste of mine
Only a waste of my mind
And we're all a little messy inside,
but I guess we're all doing fine
yeah I guess we're all doing just fine.

Fine (live).

After releasing the original last year, I had my amazing friend, James Vrettos graciously remaster it for a Music Video. Although the Music Video never happened, I want finally put this out there. 

Enjoy! 

Lyrics:

Nomad, nomad, You've been on my mind
A tad, bit sad, I've been left behind

Nomad, nomad, where have you gone? 
I followed your song and you still lead me on
and I play along

No defined lines
No ultimate design
We'll flow through time
and change the paradigm

No one to please
No one to put at ease
Just let your feet fly and feel that breeze

That's what you told me
The world was so free

but your words were deceiving
and I should've known, you'd leave me alone
to roam endlessly

I wonder when I wander 
why is the world so somber?
I travel and I ponder
the questions of our fathers (x2)

I'm a peripatetic minority
I hold a big stick and walk accordingly
I stay away from the hopeless conformity
that takes away all of my curiosity
and awards the thoughtless mediocrity

Nomad, nomad (you've been on my mind)
Nomad, nomad (you left me behind)

I wonder when I wander 
why is the world so somber?
I travel and I ponder
the questions of our fathers (x2)

I lost you to the wilderness of the mundane
I can't undo the bitterness of my own pain
I thought I grew out of this love I fell into
I always knew I was not meant to be with you

I wonder when I wander 
why is the world so somber?
I travel and I ponder
the questions of our fathers (x4)
