Send a message to the outside I’m lost in my mind set me free the loneliness overwhelms so here I am stuck in hell the voices finally stopped left me in a state of shock if it brings me down then im closer to the end drifting on the air nothing ever could compare if it gets my by then ill learn to live again send a message to the outside the world i dispise let me be your world is filled with pain so quick to throw away when im down on the ground kick me around im like the sun i come up every time i could never relate i could never pretend i was not like the other ones fixing their tie and polish their shoes and get in line try to believe try and deny and get in line something inside feels like it died cant get away from the when and the why nothing to hide it’s all about time give it away get me out of my mind

He rises meek beneath the clouds But all alone he cries out loud The pain is deep within his soul On waves of panic, lose control The Flash of light and darkened sky The force of nature flies on high And all that was no longer lives Simply no life left to give Noone~~x2 We live, then we die We die, then we live He wanders aimlessly around No sign of others to be found The darkness never goes away It follows closer everyday He molds its shape from tattered rags Igniting deeper inner man Lift it up and let it shine Memories are hard to find

No matter where I am No matter where I go I know that there's one place will always be my home There's a candle in the window a light above the door You're my angel in waiting The voice in the storm You are my home No matter how far I will roam You are my home A place of safety, a place of hope You are my home No Matter what I do I'll always trust in you You're the one that I run to When my world turns blue You're the spark in my memory The skip in my step The light that accepts me when I lose my grip

Underwater 02:44
I've been wild, and I've been weary I've taken my life into my own hands I've been way down, as far as you can go now and I don't need any sympathy I said I don't need your sympathy I've got pity of my own You know I'm going to be my destiny theres no other way for me to go You know I can’t, breathe under water It’s just like you always said A friend is so hard to find I can’t pretend to be like you Theres certain things that I can’t do You know I can’t pretend not to be myself I wouldn’t want to be anybody else

it seems i can have it all i believe and take the fall how long have i been waiting giving it all to you no time has ever been wasted giving it all to you you're sweet and so inspiring giving it all to you come clean its all overstated giving it all to you holding me now teaching me how trying to find my way softly the sounds i can;t keep my feet on the ground i cant hear a word you say

Lost 01:56
i can make my own decisions i can take it all way no need for more provisions it doesn’t matter anyway i dont need anyone i cant conceed to your thoughts i will be the same as everyone i will be lost i dont care what the reason it just brings it back again its impossible to listen if you wont let it in i dont need anyone i cant conceed to your thoughts i will be the same as everyone i will be lost

In the light, watch her shine Steal the glow, then you'll know it seems the pain, has gone today From the top, the view won't stop Take the blow, then you'll know There's a sinking feeling and a fear inside Wrestle with the knowledge of the passing time It's gone so fast...so make it last Soon the world, will see that the time has come Behind the girl, the only one it is the way, it's gone today This house of straw, is bound to fall There's a sinking feeling in the world today struggle with perceptions of her dying day It's gone so fast...so make it last Faith...fallen, full of grace Like the world on your back Home...Feel the breeze, gentle and serene Like the waters so clean Hope...steal the glow, A solitary soul With the dreams of the past Fame...cold hard shame, one more heart to break And the wheels roll on, the fear goes on the tears roll on and on

Ive slept in empty gutters ive walked down empty streets ive felt their gazes burning a hole inside of me if i could hear their whispers i could fix it all but i cant even hear them singing so i cant have it all its my life I can sit and drink my memories away take my time and just listen to the sounds that wash the day Ive seen my angels burning ive watched my heroes fall but there’s no sense in giving so I just take it all its my life I can sitand drink my memories away take my time and just listen to the sounds that wash the day

I’ve been running for so long it seems I’m running out of road I know it’s time that I should face the truth and find my way back home I can’t stop now the highway’s rolling fast beneath my feet But I know if I don’t turn back now I’ll never see your face again Now I can see the road ahead so clearly laid right before me I put the pedal to the floor, no fear no more, I’ll take it head-on I can’t stop now the highway’s rolling fast beneath my feet But I know if I don’t turn back now I’ll never see your face again Said I’m gone and I’ll never look back Heading down a one-way track

Highway Song 02:39
The highway long and tough makes a man rise above calm and patient hiding away how can i find another way cause ive been afraid and i need a way to find my way and make her stay its my way or the road i cant be all that you need or all that you know so take it as it comes i dont know what’s down the road or does anyone

about

I am happy to say that I have finally completed my second solo album (as you are obviously aware of if you are reading this). I have been working on the material as well as the recording for this album for quite some time now (especially considering my first solo album “Mouth” was released in 2003). It is very similar to my first album in the sense that these are a compilation of songs written over the past 6 to 7 years. I started recording the album the second time around (long story) in January 2012. The album was completely self-produced, engineered, and performed by myself at Nasty Cactus Studio in Las cruces NM
