Greatest Gift

A cover of a song from the band that inspired me to play music and the first song I ever heard live. All instruments played by Voice Of Cain.

Two Step

Too Good To Be True

J.O.A.T

Cover of one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs

D.T.E

A track inspired by Silent Hill and Akira Yamaoka's incredible compositions

Quiet Rise

W.A.Y

-path

This is the closing track from my 2007 EP "Oasis Call". The recording is rough since the entire album was recorded in a few short days (limited college funds using borrowed equipment, hell yeah!) but I would love to revisit this song to record again. Despite the sound quality, I'm still proud of the composition of this track and, as an added nerdy bonus, it was partially inspired by the anime RahXephon. Take a listen and let me know what you think!

Aria of Heaven

The 3rd single from the upcoming Voice Of Cain album "W.A.Y".

To Arms

The Road

We took off
without a thought
All seemed right
The year was paved for us

And as we flew
I watched the ground
become dust
and I reached for you...

Gimme the all clear
I'm coming down

A boisterous laugh
I break my neck
Trying to track
which direction
To my despair
I watched you jump
and your eyes changed
three shades in the rain

Gimme the all clear
I'm coming down

And I reached for you but you kept your hands by your side
Why can't we stay
Why can't we say "I'm sorry...
We flew too high"

I tried to see
your uncertainty
Blind spots
all along this trip
Engine off, slow descent
Empty seat of my co-pilot

Gimme the all clear
I'm coming down

Landing Zone

"Rest. Reset. Take One Step."

I couldn't figure out how to put this tumultuous year into words so I decided to pick up each instrument, hit record, and just "play" how I feel. In dark times, it helps to think of the small and simple things that bring you peace and remember that you are not alone. Keep your heads up, stay strong, and always move forward.

Essentials

When I look into the mirror
It’s so easy to see
With every brow I furrow
you’re looking back at me
I think about the lessons
that stand the test of time
Where would I be
without you as my guide

You give and give
Never asking for a thing
You showed me how to live
To keep my fears at bay

To this day
I never know what you’re thinking
No matter how we roar and rumble
you hold your solid ground
Your sacrifices
We can never repay
But as we count our blessings
The biggest one gets our thanks

Cause you give and give
Never asking for a thing
You showed me how to live
To keep my fears at bay

If I ever have a kid
I just hope that I can be
Their provider, a helping hand
Their hero, their friend
Like my father

Father

Father

Heavy as stone
The heart keeps on sinking 
Are you content to keep floating through the haze?
Cyberman
Stifled
Your blood is distilled under casings
Eyes become glazed. Dreams fading day by day
Cyberman

Can't you see, Cyberman
You've been gone for far too long, Cyberman
Now you're losing everything
Shed your circuitry. Ignore the Green.
Cyberman

Imagination negated by cold rules and logic
Poetry struck through by binary pressure within
Cyberman
Music: The victim of your phantom struggle
The clacking distracting the flow of ideas
You won't find progressions in programs and methods
You can't find the rhythm in hard drive rotations

Can't you see, Cyberman
You've been gone for far too long, Cyberman
Now you're losing everything
Shed your circuitry. Ignore the Green.
Cyberman

You know deep down what you need to do
Cut the cords that are binding you

Free your mind and open up
Cast Aside
Embrace The Light
