Goodbye (First Demo)
02:50

this is just the beginning of the end
it's right about now that i start to learn to accept
we're all going to be memories someday
so we might as well give them something worth remembering
it's so lonely being insane
it's so lonely in my dreams
'cause in there, it's only me
there comes a point where we start to question life
the hardest things are the first hellos and the last goodbyes
and as much as it hurts i need to say
goodbye
goodbye
and don't you dare miss me
i know this is painful for you but be thankful
i'm dead and gone
believe me, the world will carry on and on and on
be strong
this is just the beginning of the end
it's right about now that i start to learn to accept
and as much as it hurts i need to say
goodbye
goodbye
and don't you dare miss me

Marks (2011 Demo)

i want something new for me
i want something true to be
worth fighting for, for the mile
to last a little while
not short-lived or in-between
i wish i knew what it means
when you say you're "in love"
is it real or just a bluff?
and we're never alone
and we'll never be alone
we're not immortal, we have limits
there's the sky - let's not forget it
before, we thought we could survive anything
before we knew where we were heading
now i'll think i have everything
a girl and a life worth living
but the castle has to crumble down
and i'll watch my life fall down
peaked out in the middle of my days
i really wasn't ready
i wish i could've been much more
i had a life worth fighting for
now i'm feeling alone
now i'm really all alone
we're not immortal, we have limits
there's the sky - let's not forget it
before, we thought we could survive anything
before we knew where we were heading
i am searching for an end
to match the means i need to live
i'm never happy, always sad
my life is getting pretty bad
i want to smile instead of frown
turn this shit hole upside-down
i'm sick of living in the past
i'll live these days like they're my last
these scars of life will stay with me
show me were i'm supposed to be
giving all i ever had
just to never get it back
i'm so alone

Vermillion (2011 Demo)

with all the time in the world
to wrap herself up in pearls
she just sits and waits
for life to hit her as fate
she believes it's her destiny
to forever be unhappy
so she sits and waits
for life to hit her as fate
so the lines are drawn in the sand
and all she needs is a man to hold her hand
the world is in her hands
but she waits as long as she can
cause she's afraid to take the leap
and grab a hold of her destiny
be the change, if you need a change
to be the same is old
don't see the ways you weave and play
to recreate what is done
we all want to believe
that everything we do means something
we all want to believe
that we can change the world
so exit silence
and reach into yourself
beneath the violence
and the points unknown
without freedom
justice means nothing
and without love
we all are nothing
be the change, if you need a change
to be the same is fucking dumb
to recreate what once was great
is wasting time on memories
the world is in her hands
but she waits as long as she can
cause she's afraid to take the leap
and grab a hold of her destiny
be the change, if you need a change
to be the same is old
don't see the ways you weave and play
to recreate what is done

a dog, a panic in a pagoda
ah, Satan sees Natasha
do geese see God?
Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas
so many dynamos
no devil lived on
never or or even
no sir, away! a papaya war is on
a man, a plan
a canal, panama!
get on, get on
jump off, jump off
sneak out, sneak out
we've lost it all
rise to vote, sir
i prefer pi
mr. owl ate my metal worm
if i had a hi-fi
a man, a plan
a canal, panama

close your eyes, shut the blinds
it's time
wish me well down in hell
i'll be fine
i can try to stay here, fine
i'll be fine
but i'm better off in a coffin in the ground
in the ground, i'll rot away
wish me to stay
what more can i be?
i'm just a memory
say goodbye but please don't cry
it's time
i've learned a lot, i've lived my allotted time
i'll be fine
it was written out—i'm meant to pout
i'll be fine
if i have luck, they'll give a fuck
remember me
remember me, please
wish me to stay
what more can i be?
don't let me be a memory
don't cry for me, i tried to be what i was meant to be
all i could be was me
close your eyes, shut the blinds
it's time
it's my curtain call, i'm signing off
i'll be fine
if i have luck, they'll give a fuck
i tried
don't forget all that i meant
this time
this is just a prelude to my end
my friend, i'm dead
let me go, for now
i'll see you underground

i hate to see people waste their lives away
worrying about what they can't change
it's that we fear most—what we cannot control
or what we'll never be able to explain
time carries on, and one day we'll all be gone
try to be strong, for your own sake
we all make mistakes
we were built to bend and break
don't let time get the best of you
as much as we know,
we cannot control
what's wrong in our lives
it's just so
i speak from experience
and know that i mean it
when i say you'll make it thru
time carries on, and one day we'll all be gone
try to be strong, for your own sake
we all make mistakes
we were built to bend and break
don't let time get the best of you
time carries on, and one day we'll all be gone
try to be strong, for your own sake
we all make mistakes
we were built to bend and break
don't let time get the best of you
don't let time get the best of you

no words come to mind
and i still wonder why
the longer i'm alive
the more i'll wish you didn't have to die
some never get to find
their place in this life
the longer i wait to try
the worse it gets to be alive
you are still here
though you're not with us, you're always near
you changed us all for the better
this isn't "goodbye",
it's "see you later"
closing your eyes won't bring what's not in sight
maybe it was your time
but we all still have to get by
live every day like it's my last
that's how you wanted it
you are still here
though you're not with us, you're always near
you raised us just like a brother
this isn't "goodbye",
it's "see you later"
you are still here
though you're not with us, you're always near
you changed us all for the better
this is not "goodbye"
no, it's not "goodbye"
i will not cry
because i'll see you later

about
I will be releasing all the music I have created in my dismal life slowly over the coming weeks, exclusively on bandcamp, in order to clear out the archives and turn the material over to the world. Most of it is not pretty or even good by most measures, but every single song has had a part in my growth as a human being and for that alone I feel they deserve at least the opportunity to be heard and dissected.
This is the beginning of a collection of demos and outtakes.
These are not the first recordings I made as a young man but as insufferable as these may be, the very first were even worse. This collection contains a handful of tracks from about 2009 to 2011. They were recorded with a 2 channel interface into Adobe Audition. Drums were recorded with two microphones, one on the kick and one suspended above the snare. It was a period of heavy experimentation - enamored by the prospect of recording music at home in the first place. A few of the songs would see life elsewhere, and as this process continues I hope someone somewhere can appreciate the growth, both in the performances and in the production.
