"The Voyager" Lyrics

2015-05-21T07:51:00.002-04:00

I have it all-
A song for everything
And still nothing,
Writing lyrics only I
Can understand.
Left dry and thirsty
For something more,
Someplace more..
I, the voyager.

There is no verse
Without a willing writer,
Idle poetry
Without a voice to
Scream it out in vain.
Yeah, I’m insane-
You know you love it.

But could you love me,
The voyager?

I’m at a loss-
Is it love, is it lust?
An empty nothing?
Writing still for you alone
Oh, if only..

There is no verse
Without a willing writer,
Idle poetry
Without a voice to
Scream it out in vain.
Yeah, I’m insane-
You know you love it.

But could you love me,
The voyager?

Could you leave the voyager?

"Walking Dead" Lyrics

2015-03-12T16:58:00.001-04:00

Hey you, hey you
You've got a lot of nerve
But no sense, no self,
No class

Hey you, hey you
I want to hear the words
No shit, just spit it out
Loud and clear now

I want to hear it

I'm not like you - a shell -
That glorious life of the walking dead
Yeah, I'm holding on to
Everything you ever did

Hey you, hey you
You've got a lot of words
But no point, no drive,
No balls, bitch

Hey you, hey you
I want to hear you scream
And cry, and curl up
I'll be the one

Who gives it back to you

I'm not like you - a shell -
That glorious life of the walking dead
Yeah, I'm the one who speaks of
Everything you never did

Just try me

"Snow White" Lyrics

2015-03-12T10:05:00.000-04:00

Oh, the girl with the snow white skin
Chain her, starve her, and paint her red
Nothing more beautiful than these crimson ribbons
Dancing with the pull of gravity
A simple slice, followed by the flow of mortality
Die softly here, sweet
Your struggles have come to an end

"JealouSeas" Lyrics

2015-01-19T12:09:00.000-05:00

The seas of your eyes
Reflecting my fading youth
As shattered pieces of your ego
Still cut through me

Never did agree with your jealousy

So sudden is our bitter fate
Oh, to fall [don't follow]

Those murky eyes evaporate to dust
As mine burn through them
Struggling to prevail, just for a day-
Separate as we will

Never did agree with your jealousy

So sudden is our bitter fate
Oh, to fall [don't follow me]

"Godlike" Lyrics

2014-11-25T09:49:00.000-05:00

See how it withers around the edges
A little wasted, if you ask me
What if this isn't my creation?
I don't think it's what I wanted (to become)

Maybe I ask a little too much
But you never know until you try
In seeking godliness
I found the things I despise
(They're out there, everywhere)

Keep on pushing, push it down further

How can this be
What I asked for?

I hate the way you look at me-
Reckless, prodigal, decadent,
You're right- there's a monster inside
And I'll be damned if I hide it

Welcome to the future
I am the very thing you fear
And as blind as you are, I
Thought you could at least hear it

(And you just)
Keep on pushing, push it down further

How can this be
All my creation?

You make me feel like a god

"Ink & Agony" Lyrics

2014-11-24T14:17:00.000-05:00

Steady now,
Drive your needles into me-
I know you suffer
(I see it all)
Tell me how
Things are changing for you
Drill me like you do
(I'm addicted to you)

I'd been reading from your reflection
Solid patterns in your eyes
And I'm petrified

Won't you take me there?
Won't you take me back with you?
Won't you take me there?
I just need someone who believes

Show me how
It would be if I had the answer,
If I was your purpose
(This dream is agony)
Can't you just
Feel that crazy attraction between us?
I know you do
(I know you want to)

I don't mean to be so forceful
But I'm riding the cusp of Capricorn
What are you waiting for?

Won't you take me there?
Won't you take me back with you?
Won't you take me there?
I just need someone who believes in me

There's a little window here,
A millisecond in time,
Look at everything we've done-
I want to know, I need to go

Won't you take me there?
Won't you take me back with you?

Won't you take me there?
Won't you take me back with you?
Won't you take me there?
I just need someone who believes in me

"Breaking Pandora" Lyrics

2014-02-05T05:00:00.000-05:00

Curiosity, longing
For what we were not meant to see
And all we cannot be
Take me (take me)

Frail as I am
Slave to the ignorance of man
What dwells inside of you,
It breaks me (breaks me)

Strain in ills and frequency
Thrilling your kind
You're killing me

Tragedy, it plays
Right before our eyes
So sick, this conflict
It's one ill after another

A terror, you are
Creeping on the borderline
Waiting for that chance to
Infect from the inside

You lied

The ones who live to die won't realize

"Halo" Lyrics

2014-02-04T05:00:00.000-05:00

Hanging high by my halo
Bound so tightly 'round my throat
Words can choke one, you must know
Such a lovely way to go

Might be you're too perfect in your ways
A vision of monochrome (the unattainable)

Hanging high by my halo

I don't have much to say
Just words, hushed words, and they
Are broken, incomplete,
Disconnected, you know

But those in prose, my poetry, I've
Agonized over for you, if only you knew

Hanging high by my halo

"Borderline" Lyrics

2014-02-03T05:00:00.000-05:00

I know it's there-
In dreams and in memories
They contain the answers
To my questions

I'm a bit short of reckless

And all the lines
I've written before,
And over again, I've
Screamed them out in vain

I'm just inching to the borderline

"Lines" Lyrics

2014-02-02T14:42:00.000-05:00

We paved these lines
That define status and meaning
They're going blurry now,
A little faint to me

I'm losing consciousness
As the air is growing thinner
Too sparse to breathe,
So hard to see

But I'm never going down

(I know) I've lost solace
In the shell of what once was
A sacrifice
To tread new ground

And I'm never going down

We paved these lines
To define status and meaning
But they're so blurry now,
Too faint to see

"Floating" Lyrics

2014-02-02T05:00:00.000-05:00

Floating
There is something in never
That drives me on
To all, to nothing, to whatever
So free to fly
So free to fall

"Play Dead" Lyrics

2014-02-01T14:38:00.001-05:00

My will,
It's breaking through
The hurt
That comes from falling
Out.
So beautiful-
Your face.
I can't erase you.

(Chorus)
So play dead
While I bury your sins.
Go away.
Don't make me deny you.

Nothing
Like being
Bound and
Gagged again.
Maybe
I'm better off
In this
Still frame of mind.

(Chorus)

Your voice,
It's leaking through
The space
Between dreams and waking..

Digging my style?

Check out my personal style/beauty blog, INFEKTED, and stay up to date with what I'm wearing, what's inspiring me at the moment, and perhaps far more personal thoughts than what is shared here.

I also review products (thanks to the numerous companies who have sent me samples). I feel a rush every time I discover something that works better than what I had previously been using. One day I will find the cures for many of my "ailments".

I am also a clothing and makeup addict on a budget. I am no label snob by any means. I am a bargain hunter, avid couponer, and willing to make a trade (services for money/product).

Good news.

2013-03-02T22:19:00.001-05:00

This whole injury thing has been a total pain in the ass, but today I can straighten my arm for the first time since I fell about 6 weeks ago! Now it's just a matter of building my strength back up.

I've been scared shitless during most of this time, worried my future in music could be severely limited. Today the simple act of straightening my arm has relieved much of that stress, and I feel so much better. I still have more healing to do, but that will happen over time, and soon enough I will be back to playing regularly. I can't wait!

In the meantime, I'll still be writing and investigating cool places for my other blog, Paranormal US.

Update on the injury, and my latest tattoo!

2013-02-14T20:22:00.000-05:00

I'm still having issues with my wrist and elbow, and all the tendons in between, but I am healing up and looking forward to the day I can pick up my guitar again, and play keys, and beat on stuff with a pair of drumsticks. I miss it all so much.

But every day, it is getting better and better. Some days hurt worse than others. It just happens, I guess.

I want to thank everyone for the positivity and get well wishes and all the help over these past few weeks. It really has helped me to keep a good attitude about it all and push forward, even when I feel helpless and miserable. You guys keep me smiling, and I can't thank you enough for that.

But now, before I start tearing up like a sap, I want to share my latest tattoo! (You may laugh at my geekiness, but I love it.)

P.S.

I feel pretty shitty that I couldn't get Evils III out on time, and it will still be a while, so don't forget about my little 10% discount code for any music you download from Bandcamp. I love you guys, and this will never expire.

Delay..

2013-01-22T13:35:00.001-05:00

I have some bad news...

I fell and hurt my arm the other day, so production on the album will be delayed at least a couple weeks, until I can move it enough to play again.

It is not broken, which is a plus, but is painful and movement is very limited.

I'm hoping for a speedy recovery and to get back on track as soon as possible.

Happy Holidays!

2012-12-23T11:47:00.001-05:00

2012 is drawing to a close and the holidays are here yet again. Whatever you celebrate, if anything at all, I wish you a safe and happy holiday.

You will hear from me again soon, after the start of the new year, and I'll have plenty to share in the months to come..

Until then, spend some time with your loved ones. <3

Not the end.. Yet again.

2012-12-22T15:32:00.001-05:00

It cracks me up how gullible society is as a whole, and how making sense out of total nonsense is possible, especially if you give up your right to think freely, for stories, books written and rewritten over the centuries by men who claimed the words they wrote were the words of God. Or an ancient calendar ends now, signifying the end of the world.. What is this shit and why are people buying into it?

Yet again, the world has NOT ended. And already people have set other dates predicting our termination..

"What does it mean?" is not the question you should be asking, but rather, "What does it matter?" If the end is tomorrow, we probably won't know about it, nor be able to stop it.

So why fret over something that we may never see in our lifetime? Enjoy each day for what it has to offer, live and love as if every day is your last. There is no need for worry if you live life to its fullest- once absorbed with happiness, you will not fear the days to come, but look forward to them.

Lots of new things coming soon...

2012-12-12T18:32:00.001-05:00

There's so much I want to say about everything in progress right now, and so little I can share at this point. To sum it up- I have more than just my solo project going on. New music, remixes, collaborations, and much more...

These things will begin to surface soon, most of them after the start of the new year.

Thank you for following me thus far, and you'll be hearing from me again soon enough.
