A variety of songs I've done with guitar, not including metal bands I have played in, which are in their own playlist on my profile.

Guitar

Omniverts display traits of both introversion and extroversion, often in extreme and random swings. Most people are ambiverts, blending the two in real time, all the time. Second most common are omniverts. We experience a constant switch between realms, sometimes at random. If you find yourself enjoying a party and then suddenly not enjoying all the noise and company, you are likely an omnivert as well. This track colors in the psychology of a night in the life of an omnivert, moving between immersive dance vibes and introspection.

Performed in one live take with a collection of synths, drum machines/MIDI controls, and a loopstation.

Lyrics:

When you feel like you've been wronged
No need to give in
No matter how strong vengeance calls
You know you must stand tall
No matter how strong vengeance calls

Forgive but never forget, but don't you live in regret
or else you'll never remember the reasons you've changed

Reasons

This track is my reflection on the persistent state of loneliness within humanity and how this pain surely can not last forever. Embracing your solitary uniqueness and strength will help you defeat the dissonance within misunderstanding!

We are all alone, together. ❤️

Lyrics:

It seems that nobody wants to ask
"What's wrong?"
No one wants to listen
To how I got so far gone

Everyone's mind is made up
They've put their walls of hate up
Before I've sung a word of my song

Trying to explain myself
Seems like a waste these days
That's the way it's always been
So it's likely the way it shall stay

Don't worry 'bout me
'Cause to me it's just another day
I don't remember what it feels like
To be understood anyway

I reflect on this at the end of long, hard day
Now my mind is made
And I'm feeling like I'm jaded
The sting gets numb and swollen
And the pain fades away
I know my mind is made
So let the pain fade away

It seems that nobody wants to ask
"What's wrong?"
No one wants to listen
To how I got so far gone

Everyone's mind is made up
They've put their walls of hate up
Before I've sung a word of my song

If you got this far, you're one of a few
With open ears and an open heart too
If you got this far, you're one of a few
And I love you for it, I really do

Desert Dub

lyrics:

I want to open up to you
for there is much you've helped me through
The shadow you cast that once cooled me down
eclipsed the warmth that circled 'round

Why would I say how I feel
when you've clenched your sword and raised your shield?
I stand before you without armor
and you still used with the weapon you wield
You're a lion in the pasture, ready to pounce
and I am your prey facing no way out
Will you hunt me down if I dare to flinch?
Of that -- there is no doubt

I want to open up to you
for there is much you've helped me through
Free me from your shadow, I beg of you now
I would bask once again as the warmth goes 'round
I dream of us all dancing in the sun
No weapons in sight and no armor on
And as the sun sets we would gather by fire
sharing our stories, our troubles and desires
My brothers and sisters that dance alone
Surround yourself with only those that you call home
This life is treacherous enough alone
Surround yourself with only those that you call home
