Good bye beautiful people, I'm leaving this whole damn world behind. I'll take it all up through the straw and afterwards go shoot the moon. There ain't I'll leave because we'll all be dead soon, I don't really need no hope, especially when you're down and out, and broke. Well I know I wasted too much time, walking around like a man who's blind. Feeling sympathy for all those who passed, because they probably died in the side of this gash, that we leave upon the back of the world, watch as it fades, as we keep falling into this trench everyday. All I can say is I sure don't care because I won't be there, unless you can manage to get me the hell out of here. Good bye beautiful people, I'm leaving this whole damn world behind. I'll take it all up through the straw and afterwards go shoot the moon. There ain't I'll leave because we'll all be dead soon, I don't really care where I'll be because we'll be dead pretty soon

Let's all go die Let's all get killed Let's go and buy some fancy wine and snort 1 thousand pills Yes, we're all fucked, so let's give up It's easy to Commit suicide but if you fail I guess you suck Today sure as shit ain't easy My babies mama thinks I'm sleazy The whole entire world thinks that I'm trash Well I saw my reflection and I told him fuck it He had some said let's kick the bucket But that roped snapped, I fell on my ass, and I got 37 stitches from broken glass Let's all go die Let's all get killed Let's go and buy some fancy wine and snort 1 million pills Yes, this world sucks, so let's all give up I'm tired of this isolation, can't wait for deaths sweet touch I saw a building, it was pretty high I always wanted to sky dive besides when I become sidewalk slime it would make a pretty good scene So I hopped off the elevator Told the whole entire world that I'll see later But to my surprise, a truck kept me alive that was filled with a vat of whipped cream Let's all go die Let's all get killed Let's go and buy some Jack Daniels and shoot 1 billion pills Yes, we're all fucked, so let's give up Note self next time I decide to jump keep an eye out for fucking trucks Well I was feeling down and out Had to admit I was having my doubts To be honest I was feeling quite ashamed Well I saw a junkie and I bought some pills Enough to guarantee that I'd be killed But placebos were the only things that flowed through my veins! FUCK TRYING TO DIE I'LL NEVER GET KILLED For some damn reasons death's out of reach, and I'm tired of hospital bills I guess I suck, so I'm stuck So with a new purpose crossed the street for a job, and hit by a damn semi truck Yes we all die We all get killed So have your self a good life and don't pay your hospital bills Yeah we all die and we all get killed Down the river and across the bridge

Broken in time, as the emotions still hang on to the vine Fading with time, reverting back to primordial slime Hearing the chimes which brings back memories of all the of lines My inner demons become prominent with an ominous shine My heart was shrine no longer holy but diluted with wine Serious fines are what I'm paying till it becomes garnished with grime Behold as it's molded into an inquisitous rhyme to say that I'm fine but that's a lie that's just as bitter limes Now but a shell walking in the seven layers of hell Caught in the swell the perpetual eye of the storm with no room to excel Left here to dwell upon the moment from which I had fell From the precipice of my humanity now the bloods all I smell Turning to gel, holding my foot steps and I'm not feeling well Until it melds into this hated so it finally welds Just like the feeling of longing from all those flowers we've smelled I'm trying hard to leave this city but I cannot escape the spell Which reminds us of premonitions from our memories past Silhouettes that are cast upon a veil that burns, and turns into ash Acting so rash and not realizing that not everything lasts Like written pages from sages until it becomes polished like brass Sit there laugh, thinking you won, because you left a huge gash On this mortal puppet called a body that keeps aging to fast There's a flash upon the horizon that instead flask shows hope like broken bones, breaking out of a cast Got something to live for, even if she's not here anymore Her eyes are the same as mine from a life lived before So innocent, before my mind was turned into a war A battlefield of convictions that are tender and sore You settled a score to a game that we're not playing anymore But a lost at any cost as I drift further from shores Out into an open ocean where pain and havoc are in store As i bear witness as I'm lifted off of this linoleum floor These thoughts cut into me leaving a trail of gore I'm just a bird with clipped wings only wishing I could soar These pains of chains, and negative gain hold me back upon the pavement I grow insane, efforts in vain making incredulous statements And now I'm hated, molded by that are tarnished, and tattered Till the gray of my brain molds into a negative matter Watch as it shatters out into the never ending abyss A sense of clarity that's as sweet as a kiss Or fist passed on a mind that's forsaken a clouded with mists I lick my wounds clean and shed skin like I'm removing a cyst No longer pissed, not even a little sense of remorse My voice is hoarse, but that's okay because I still have that source Of hope to keep me afloat and I won't stray from my course Like Odysseus upon his odyssey, and I'm feeling the force Hearing the voice, hearing the call as I begin to embark On my crucible towards the light, as I escape from the dark

Fools Gold 03:54
You can spend your whole dreaming You can spend your whole life calling You can spend your whole life cussing, but you'll never make it so You can spend your life there up stream I'mma spend my life here downstream Because in life I have no paddle, and you always reap what you sew So while you neglect your fields I'mma keep on pickin' posies to lay upon your old decrepit bones Well those train tacks keep on singing And that boxcars where I'm sleeping And the whistle outsde's blowin' while my body's cold as stone Yeah I'm halfway down this 40 as my body continues westward, but these wayward tracks won't carry me back, until they carry me on towards home And when I get there in that gutter's where the bottle will be a passing, as those light a keep on flashin' red and blue So keep on whistlin' your Dixie I'mma keep on drikin' whiskey Because at the end of the day I'll be in my grave underneath this old headstone The sun is still a shinin' And reflecting of those waters Which resembles the golden liquid in this bottle of Jim Beam Well I used to be a good boy But it wasn't a life I enjoyed So I took advice and started living life with a pocket full of dreams And even though I still get lonely, and I smell just like a trash can, thge whole entire world can hate me but I still love who I am So keep on whistlin' your dixie I'mma keep on drikin' whiskey [Because at the end of the day I'll be in my grave underneath this old headstone] X2

Dear father, dear father, where are you? I can't seem to recall your face Mom says that you've gone to go die alone, while I suffer in this hell ridden place Are you selfish because you're not listening? Are you blind because you don't understand? Dear Father it's me who's asking for your sympathy for I have no more room left to stand. Well I sat in the driveway for hours For months, and for days, and for years with no end Well I sat by the phone, sent letter to the unknown, In hopes that one day I'd see you again Dear Father, why can't I see you? Your name's not existent on this tongue anymore. Your face is just a shade, while your voice it still plays, on that record box that says forever yours Dear daughter, dear daughter, I hear you Though this voice is a fragment of your younger days when the sky was still bright and everything still seemed right Till they took that damn sunshine away I cry every time that I see you In the pictures I have from oh so long ago Well I tried hard to fight So everyday I'd say goodnight And good morning, I love you, don't let go Well your father did try so hard to be there My love still exists in everyday that you age But they that I'm a deadbeat, a bum, and a drunk, and there's no room for that on life's stage. Dear daughter I wish that I could see you But I went to go straighten my shitty life out just for yours Went to school, got a job, to learn how not to be a slob Do you have that record box that says forever yours? Oh the day, oh the days keep on passing Well I have no Idea what I god damn father is I can't remember mine, but I guess that it's fine Because it seems to me like he hates his kid Well I said that I would wait forever But that was for some other man One who sang he'd be there, and who swore that he cared, but isn't so I've finally washed my hands No more waiting, nor hoping, or dreaming No more clinging to your stupid, frivolous things Well I've thrown them away to grow up and go play So in the trash is where your record box sings Well dear father, I cannot see you But it's not in my interest to care anymore Well I hate you I swear, I'm alone and I'm scared So I saved that record box that says forever yours My honey, my Valkyrie, my daughter Your mother has finally called Our contacts had been lost, and so for hours we fought But are arguments have finally been resolved It's finally so good to hear you Well I have so many stories to tell you, So many pictures, and books, and songs to be heard I have millions for you that I saved up, yes it's true And swear I'll make it home you have my word Well it's finally so good to hear you You've grown up to be quite a beautiful girl Your mom sent me a photo and I can't help but cry, Because darlin' you're my whole entire world Dear daughter, I'm sorry to tell you For you be seeing me anymore For my car did a flip, while I was going 96 So my body has covered the floor Well I hope that you never forget me And I hope that you don't forget that you were loved and that's for sure I know you'll get my things, and I know you'll hear me sing on that record box that says forever, Record box that says forever, record box that says forever yours

Mostly every night, I watch that moon fade to gray, when the sun comes up the next day. I can feel myself slipping down them cracks back home. You can hear them calling you to stay but there ain't no hand waiting there, just an empty face and a lonely abandoned chair. They call you home and say you're welcome to stay, but every time that I go there I wish I was dead that day. How many times must I say that in life you never quit, when kind of fucking hard because life is shit. Well one of these days that bottle will be empty, by that time my hopes and last passions will be past, and I don't know if I can pass judgment with my fists clenched like that. My teeth are grit with that bullet in between I don't know if I can do anything to get out of this hole, I won't be sleeping anymore Take me back home, oh no, take me back home.

Well as the world keeps on turning We keep wandering in circles Faces showing up inside the holes in the wall Well you know that I'd be lying if I said that no one's dying But we're to caught up in this waltz and we're to busy to hear the call\ Those flames keep a dancing in those alley ways from garbage cans To keep the warmth upon those persons oh so cold But those fires will be snuffed out along with those innocent people And when your children ask you why it's because they're garbage, or so they're told See Me Die Hear my hunger Feel my pain that the world refuses to share I am legend now I am a monster Just a whisper in the darkness another scar for the world to bare Just a whisper in the darkness another scar for the world to bare Suburban Houses and apartments Condominiums and Huge mansions Uninhabited other than the wind that blows on through Well they're scars upon the landscape But god forbid that someone stays there Because that's harmful for our pocket, but I can't see how that is true We've got pounds of food a plenty Filled with pesticides to feed us all A majority can be found inside the trash And if you're hungry then forget it Because if it means another life wasted The division of starvation is another thin line of death or cash See Me Die Hear my hunger Feel my pain that the world refuses to share I am legend now I am a monster Just a whisper in the darkness another scar for the world to bare Just a whisper in the darkness another scar for the world to bare We've got manufactured clothes For our manufactured life styles Bottles filled up with water, and we're happy to pay a fee We've got phones to call our families And the best kind of health coverage But if you don't have money god forbid we share these things Oh praise god for my high standards Praise the church for it's compassion Praise the dollar for showing me how much I'm worth But god forbid I acknowledge others who can't achieve these holy standards I don't care if they have families let them rot inside the dirt- FUCK THAT! See Me Die Hear my hunger Feel my pain that the world refuses to share I am legend now I am a monster Just a whisper in the darkness another scar for the world to bare Just a whisper in the darkness another scar for the world to bare

No more sunsets No more moonshine Just a bottle of whiskey on these faded lines No more benches And no more parks Just a cigarette to guide me through the dark One of these days they might lift the veil But by then I'll be stone cold stiff and pale Knowing last ship towards salvation has sailed (Imma take these train tracks straight into hell)x2 Momma said I was a good boy But I knew she was wrong But I guess that's why my momma wasnt on this earth too long Which is why I became so infamous back where I am from But I swear that I've just started because I know that I ain't done No more sunsets No more moonshine Just a bottle of whiskey on these faded lines No more benches And no more parks Just a cigarette to guide me through the dark One of these days they might lift the veil But by then I'll be stone cold stiff and pale Knowing last ship towards salvation has sailed (Imma take these train tracks straight into hell)x2 Made deals and gambles, and wrote too many checks I treated all that I know with out an ounce of respect And deaths on my trail with a debt to collect but he won't get his pay till i'm strung up by neck No more sunsets No more moonshine Just a bottle of whiskey on these faded lines No more benches And no more parks Just a cigarette to guide me through the dark One of these days they might lift the veil But by then I'll be stone cold stiff and pale Knowing last ship towards salvation has sailed (Imma take these train tracks straight into hell)x2 My high horse is an ego with an upturned nose And my castle is a hotel somewhere on the road and my meal's my anger with a big line of blow And my lover's my self because I love being alone And now I'm picking up steam, yeah I'm has high as can be because I dont care about anyone else but me And this boxcar's becoming my grave So right here's where I'm gonna lay Looks like deaths finally got his pay I guess things will never be the same No more sunsets No more moonshine Just a bottle of whiskey on these faded lines No more benches And no more parks Just a cigarette to guide me through the dark One of these days they might lift the veil But by then I'll be stone cold stiff and pale Knowing last ship towards salvation has sailed (Imma take these train tracks straight into hell)x2

Oh my eyes can you tell me what I'm seeing? Because it looks like my face staring back through shattered glass But what is this, each face seems to have different voices Different moods, and different skins, and different paths And if we're all so different tell me why do they feel the same And if we're different people then tell me why I feel their pain How come if I treat them as equals then we're all treated insane We can say the world's moved forwards but it still feels that it's the same We can say the world's moved forwards but it still feels that it's the same It's all the same Well love is love there exists no rose by another name And blood is blood it can't be shed without feeling pain And life is death so we can say that they're one in the same We started as dust, and became who we are, and back to dust returns our remains We started as dust, and became who we are, and back to dust returns our remains As we all wake up, we can feel a sense of purpose But all that I can say, is that's the boot heel on our backs And if we don't try and stand, then the weight will surely crush us But no one seems to notice as we're swept into the cracks But no one seems to notice as we're swept into the cracks When we were all new born we came into this world blind And as time moved on we slowly learned how to see But all I can say is the majority of the people Are still blind to what's underneath the veil and what will always be Are still blind to what's underneath the veil and what will always be No one is awake NO! We're still falling fast asleep Dreaming all the things they tell us to dream But if you keep your eyes still and you focus on the veil You can what's hidden behind these sutured seams Well the world is still the same even though it is still aging As it deteriorates beneath us from all the acid rain Even though we're born from dust, We'll kill the world and all her trust Not on purpose but back to dust returns our remains

There's a wall separating us from the outside Keeping me inside this box, I can't escape no matter how hard I try And those people in the boxes resemble rats inside a maze And they're all treated like test subjects but you hear no one complain And if you ever make a wrong turn then wrists will get a slap But if you ever try and leave that box you'll be stuck in a trap I am an animal, but everyone else is too We're just conditioned to think differently to put up with the abuse I am an animal and Ill never forget Trying to tech these other people that we're no one else's pets, we can't be Poison in the water, they force us to drink it everyday Gas in the air that we keep on that turn into acid rain And those police tapes and barricades, Picket fences, and Highways Are a reminder of how much things have changed and never will be the same I am an animal, but everyone else is too We're just conditioned to think differently to put up with the abuse I am an animal and Ill never forget Trying to tech these other people that we're no one elses pets, we can't be To distract us from division they put obstructions in our way Mislabel them as a war on drugs, and it's justice, but it's just decay Of this place we call a home till it's gone, and they teach the masses that it's wrong To question these old archaic methods that have been here for too long I am an animal, but everyone else is too We're just conditioned to think differently to put up with the abuse I am an animal and Ill never forget Trying to tech these other people that we're no one else's pets, we can't be

Well I'm just looking for answers, and I know I'm not the only one Even though this path to truth is blinding, Oh I'm going to keep on walking towards the sun My hopes and dreams all seem buried I can't lift this weight over my head Over millions of mile and for a long long while I was hoping I soon would be dead And all of these burdens Are only good for slowing me down So I cast off these shackles and I'm picking up steam Looking for some new hope to be found I'm just looking for answers, and I know I'm not the only one Even though this path to truth is blinding, Oh I'm going to keep on walking towards the sun These rails will keep on singing, As that train continues on it's path And all these problems keep on trying to poke out there ugly heads But I'm going to drown them in this whiskey bath So now Intoxicated, I lose all hope and resolve And when that hangover hits and I start to feel like shit It's just another problem to be solved I'm just looking for answers, and I know I'm not the only one Even though this path to truth is blinding, Oh I'm going to keep on walking towards the sun Well I'm lost and I'm stranded, talking to myself for company And for a long time I fought but I guess that I forgot The only thing that's holding myself back is me Now I can find some new peace, for my burdens I finally cast aside With a new sense of freedom, and a new clean slate I have a smile on face with my head held high I'm just looking for answers, and I know I'm not the only one Even though this path to truth is blinding, Oh I'm going to keep on walking towards the sun

Swing 04:37
I stand at the mouth of the mountain, unmoved and unshaken, in my grave forsaken and dead This world's still burning, while those figures of families are now just ashes in the bed There is no man here just an empty hollow husk to be eaten up and swallowed by the cold Voices are calling from the darkening abyss until I fade from this existence like my souls upon the pavement, because I keep on running from those demons manifested in my home Upon these train tracks, I'll lay inside this boxcar till it turns into my casket in the snow And up on the hillside there's a swing there to remind us of our innocence, REMIND US OF OUR INNOCENCE And up on that hillside there's a swing there to remind us of our innocence, BUT NOW THAT FUCKING INNOCENCE IS GONE! No information, just sit there in the darkness, and just listen to all those lies that they tell. This kingdom of heaven is just a concrete jungle and is nothing more that a goddamn living hell. Coughing and screaming, every time we step outside, EVERY TIME WE STEP OUTSIDE There's no one left dreaming unless it's a capitalistic take over or someones contemplating suicide There's no more reaching for hope, or else they'll take your hands and cut them at the wrist and laugh at you like a god damn fool. So be a good sheep and take those shitty jobs that they' have given you while you're castrated by the bull* And up on the hillside there's a swing there to remind us of our innocence, REMIND US OF OUR INNOCENCE And up on that hillside there's a swing there to remind us of our innocence, BUT NOW THAT FUCKING INNOCENCE IS GONE! *reference to wallstreet

You say that I ain't worth nothing, but darling ain't nothing but a wandering man. They say those wheels stop turning but they don't know nothing about a wandering man. These trains keep on moving they don't stop for nothing and nor do I People say I'll never find a home, but I never felt more at home with a road to ride. From the big easy to the 305, Take my chances on the sunset line From those hard roads and those tears in my eyes, and I can deal with 'em problems with a bottle of rye. From Savannah Georgia, out to the Bluegrass lands, you can find me sitting with a guitar in my hand, just waiting for change to come and fill my can so I can buy me some Old Crow and a tin of Spam. You say that I ain't worth nothing, but darling ain't nothing but a wandering man. They say those wheels stop turning but they don't know nothing about a wandering man. These trains keep on moving they don't stop for nothing and nor do I People say I'll never find a home, but I never felt more at home with a road to ride. From the red sunsets to open plains, sitting near the hop out by open flame. Even though I'm hated and I know it won't change, I'll keep walking through the cities and won't show no shame. Sitting dirty on a 48, drinking that spacebag so I can rest my face, I'll go to church and then I'll steal that plate, then I'm off to philly for a new clean slate. You say that I ain't worth nothing, but darling ain't nothing but a wandering man. They say those wheels stop turning but they don't know nothing about a wandering man. These trains keep on moving they don't stop for nothing and nor do I People say I'll never find a home, but I never felt more at home with a road to ride. Doing time because I got roped, but that's fine because doing time's a joke. I'm tossing dice made from bars of soap, counting down the days since I had my last smoke. I'm out of county and I'm on parole, getting my shit straight and fulfilling my goals, I got two months left but then I took stroll, You can take the dirt off me but not me out of the coal. You say that I ain't worth nothing, but darling ain't nothing but a wandering man. They say those wheels stop turning but they don't know nothing about a wandering man. These trains keep on moving they don't stop for nothing and nor do I People say I'll never find a home, but I never felt more at home with a road to ride

about

this album is the first "demo" that i ever recorded (using a terrible phone mic) as a way to not forget any of the songs I wrote (I lose a lot of my written pieces). So please excuse the shitty quality. These were also from about 2011-2012 that I recorded these (and at least 4 in 2013), So cut me some slack with the shitty intros. These tracks were never really meant to be released, but I figure why hold out? SOOOO enjoy some of the most embarrassing music recorded to date.
