God I hope you hear me – hope I don’t go unnoticed – I plan to be defiant – because you need to hear this – you yourself have vanished – and we’re all stumbling through our lives – when left to our devices – we’ve proven to fail every time
I always thought you were a holy roller – till the day that I got to know ya – turn your back on me I understand – after all you’re the only one who knows who I really am – but turn your back on the best I got a problem I’m gonna say what I feel that’s how you made me aint gonna save me  if you don’t like too bad – sorry god you took all I had
You are my god-  but if this is what you choose – to let it come to an end – I have to let you know – I will begin again – cause I’ve been down before-  always swimming towards the shore – and I’ll be on dry land – when your wave comes crashing in
God I hope you hear me – hope I don’t go unnoticed – I plan to be defiant – because you need to hear this – you yourself have vanished – and we’re all stumbling through our lives – when left to our devices – we’ve proven to fail every time
I always knew you were defiant like me - always knew you we’re dying to hang with me – sorry dude I aint going nowhere – I got shit to do – I just can’t leave here – people round me they depend on me – like I depended on you – before you let me down – so don’t come around no more lest you accept me for who I am – I’m just like you GOD DAMN!
You are my god - but if this is what you choose – to let it come to an end – I have to let you know – I will begin again – cause I’ve been down before-  always swimming towards the shore – and I’ll be on dry land – when your wave comes crashing in
You are my god but if this is what you choose – guess what dude I got nothing lose – and even though you’ll turn a deaf ear – I know you’ll hear me – blink your eyes and make me disappear – send your wrath send that wave I hold my breath when it comes crashing in you’ve taken it all from me anyway but in the end you know what God? I’ll always begin again
You are my god-  but if this is what you choose – to let it come to an end – I have to let you know – I will begin again – cause I’ve been down before-  always swimming towards the shore – and I’ll be on dry land – when your wave comes crashing in

Devoid of Reality is reflective of most dreams, which when one wakes up from, simply don't make sense and are far from reality.
Headphones or some form of stereo will enhance the listening experience.
Music and lyrics by John.
That droning sound at :20 to :31 is me hitting a open A chord on my Schecter CET with the whammy bar pushed down and almost touching the strings and then slowly releasing the whammy bar. Thanks to the Floyd Rose system, the guitar stayed in tune all the way.

Lyrics

You look up to the sky and see it in flames
The ocean waters boiling there’s lava in the waves
The air thick with smoke you’re gasping just to breathe

Wake from your dream dazed and confused
While you slept your mind played tricks on you
Sitting in a cold sweat your soon realize that dreams are Devoid of Reality

Running hard from a threat you can’t see
Your heart races faster as you try to flee
Everything slow motion you’re tangled in a web

Wake from your dream dazed and confused
While you slept your mind played tricks on you
Sitting in a cold sweat your soon realize that dreams are Devoid of Reality

Wake from your dream dazed and confused
While you slept your mind played tricks on you
Sitting in a cold sweat your soon realize that dreams are Devoid of Reality

A mysterious sensation grabs hold of your senses
The world around you spiraling out of control
Falling from great heights no bottom in sight

Wake from your dream dazed and confused
While you slept your mind played tricks on you
Sitting in a cold sweat your soon realize that dreams are Devoid of Reality

Devoid of Reality

Devoid Of Reality

This is the story of my first “eclipse”, experienced alone in the wilderness of Oregon in August, 2017. It’s a long story, but the story behind this song.

I drove to Oregon alone to see the great American total solar eclipse of 2017. In Oregon, there is a famous national park called Crater Lake.  This is the deepest lake in America.   In the middle of Crater Lake is Wizard Island. This lake was formed when a huge volcano blew its top a long time ago.  My plan was to see Wizard Island, get a hotel room, and see the eclipse the next day.

There have been numerous stories of strange occurrences around this area from multiple people over the course of centuries.

The time was around 7 pm when driving up Crater Lake Mountain to see Wizard Island… I wasn’t sure where I was going, or how to get down from the mountain. Finally, I saw Wizard Island just as the sun started to set. I remember there was this misty haze in front of the Island. I could barely see it. I got the chills and a weird feeling... It was very eerie.

I tried to find my way down from the mountain in my car, but it was too late, I was lost, and it was too dangerous. There are areas where you can drive off a ledge and fall a long way. No fun. I had to pull over in the wilderness and spend the night in my car…

Hours passed, and I fell asleep.

What happened next is the strangest thing I’ve experienced in my life. I woke up, it was still night. My phone wasn’t working, my car wouldn’t start or turn on any lights. I didn’t know what time it was. It was disturbing to me they were both "dead", and I was panicked. Then I noticed the area around my car was alternating in brightness, like truck lights... But that wasn't it. I got out of my car to check it out.

But the sky was weird. The moon was weird. It was all weird. The moon was alternating between being clearly visible… And being pitch black. Like it was “blinking”. It would take 5 seconds to get black, then about 5 seconds to get bright again. The stars were barely visible. I stared in disbelief for maybe 30 seconds, it kept happening.  The air around me had a feeling of electric charge to it.   I started hearing a lot more animals, and they seemed to surround me. They were in the bushes and trees, everywhere. It got more troubling quickly when I could discern soft human voices. I couldn't see animals or people. 
I wasn't on any drugs, I was saving my drugs for the following day and the journey home.

Time seemed too slow. I backed up to my car, got in, and locked the doors. I remember a feeling of utter disbelief in my senses. Without any idea what to do, I climbed in the backseat and lied down. I thought any second I could die.

The next thing I remembered, I woke up. It was about 6:30 am. My car worked. My phone worked. And this was the morning of August 21st, 2017… The first day of the total solar eclipse which many of us would see later that day.  

But what I saw was something else.

Something very weird happened to me up there on that mountain that night, and it’s haunted me. I know several people will think "Manufactured lies!" Several others will think "Cool story bro...", well think what you want...

Later that morning when getting breakfast, still shook-up, I asked 2 waitresses if they heard of anything strange last night around Crater Lake. One said "no", the other said, "There's always something strange happening".

I remember one time a girl asked me why my music is so dark...
I’ve seen some sights.

Try to check out Crater Lake, Oregon, if you've never seen it.
Don't get lost.

I have been passionately creating music for a considerable amount of time. My vibe is mainly Rap, Rock and Pop. My purpose in writing music goes beyond mere entertainment. I am driven to compose songs that serve as a source of encouragement, inspiration, and upliftment, carrying a message of hope deeply rooted in the truth that Jesus died for the sins of man. Through my music, I strive to share my personal journey and experiences, revealing how Jesus is an integral part of my life and the creative process.
