Tirade
By Christopher D. Hillsgrove
Wise up
Stand up
This is your moment to be brave
Wise up
Stand up
Join the crusade
How do you expect things to change
when you deliberately
position yourself
out of range
Isolated from this never ending charade
military tirade
look to the heavens
Aerial Raid

Tirade

Heaven is Postponed
by Christopher D. Hillsgrove
Heaven is postponed
there is an uneasiness
scaling in her bones
everything taken from her
so suddenly
so suddenly
withdrawn
even from her family
she slept half the day
away
away
peering out her window
she looks for you
she looks for you
sadden drifting in a daze
she wept uncontrollably
her soul resides in you
longing to be free
so she can finally relax and breathe
so much pent up rage
she confides in you
incoherently, she attempts to convey
her feelings she has for you.

Heaven Is Postponed

Joy Division- Shadowplay (unreleased album session)

Edge
By Christopher D. Hillsgrove
A desperate lunge forward
You're reluctant to take the plunge
into the unknown
Jesus, I'm not the one to convince you
to move away from the ledge
I know the future has lost its edge
I hear what you're trying to say
I too, put my pants on one leg at a time
but like them I'm beginning to fray
Dangling, I'm not going to hang around
Even without searching
Your body will eventually be found
you will finally be at peace
only when you're six-feet in the ground

Where Is The Feeling
By Christopher D. Hillsgrove

Where is the Feeling?
Looking up at the dingy motel room's ceiling
lets begin the "Healing..."
My normal mask has started peeling
muffled voice in the corner pleading
Change Of Heart
I couldn't leave you... there bleeding.
Reckless no one will ever control you
or know you like I do.
Where does this dark road lead to...
I'm lost with you.
Where is the feeling?
Where is the feeling?

Where Is The Feeling

Violently Free is Christopher D. Hillsgrove, it began as a composition of poems that gradually morphed into songs (rough demos).  Within each song there are elements of the artist and bands that influenced me as a person and a musician.   Bands such as brand new, taking back sunday, hum, neutral milk hotel, vision of disorder, machinehead, at the drivin, social distortion, pixies, nirvana, slipknot, dropkick murphy's, flogging molly, joy division, iggy pop, modest mouse, the honorary title, deftones, manchester orchestra,  rancid, mars volta, blink 182, and violent femmes. As a song writer I try to convey complex social and life issues into a simple metaphor.  I always thought there is something to be said about a simple catchy song that people can take something from.
