This is a lyric video for one of my bands songs:] Check it out! Like us on facebook? Buy our music on itunes?
I’ll never know enough about you. I want to know how many scars you have, and memorize the shape of your tongue. I want to climb the curve in your lower back and count your vertebrae, your ribs, and your goosebumps. I want to be fluent in your body language. I want you, entire.
Sometimes I wish I could find a hole, crawl into it, ball up, and disappear forever.
i’ll smile for you Only because you say you love it so But in halves in my chest and in halves in my head In halves in my best and I’m down on my knees
I’ll play the part, keep the smile
And all the while I’m falling
You’ll never know where I’ve spent my time
The thoughts I’ve spent thinking
in the confines of my mind
But I’m already half gone inside
Back and forth
I’m slipping through the middle of my soul
Back and forth
From birth you are taught that you have to compete with everyone. Basically you were taught to ‘hate’. You’re told that you have to do good in school. So you try and get better test scores. Than when you get a little older you compete with other peoples looks. So you see who’s better looking, who’s smarter, who’s cooler, who has more friends, who fits in, who does what’s conventional. And when you compare yourself and look at people who you think are better than yourself, you think “Fuck you and your happiness” because you’ve been taught to do that by society. Well I say fuck all that. Throw that out of the window. You need to be you. Because you were born an original. And you have something [whatever that maybe be] that no one else in the world does. Don’t die a copy. We’re all just seeking validation
I picked up a guitar in February of '07. I started 'writing' music in July of '09. And i started singing about the same time as the latter. I do this because it means something more to me. I never want to be a sell out or take that easy road. Music makes me feel something when nothing else can. Music is the one thing that's always there for me. When nothing else is. I try to bring forth music that comes from my heart. Sure there'll be times when i just mess around and come up with something random, but for the most part i like to have meaning behind the things i do and the music i play. I hope my music will help you along your journey.
