The Obscene 04:33
Do you want to say What's on you're mind today? Give it all away There is no second chance Only now Is the audience receptive Ready to receive Ready to forget themselves In the palm of your hand Don't let them down Give 'em hell, it's how they want it Don't step back, into the closet Hit the lights and raise the roof The time is now, to let loose All for one, one for all Give 'em hell, yeah give 'em hell Punch on the clock Tick tock time seems to stop Opening the scene To your own sanctuary Show the crowd There is nothing but here and now Present the obscene It's what they paid to see

It's time to go we all need to make a break Before it is too late to get over board Women and children the fast and the fittest And those to the manor born Wake up make no mistake it's time for the choosing But some choose to stay out of site We're taking on water but that's not a bother For those that are first in line Save yourselves I tripped and fell Place your bets I choose myself Salute to the brothers who came before us And now get their houses cleaned We all benefit from the wake they make Respect your elders son A little closer so he can hear We need to make more noise Stamp your feet and yell out your lungs This is our last chance That was fun but now it's over I told you who'd die at the end The non-believers and doubting fools Who think they're better than me I can't be swayed from any task The risk is never too great My cell mate now is my biggest fan He tells me every night
4.
Around You 05:28
You don't know what it takes to Be around you I struggle every day In every way What I swallow to tolerate Would make you squirm Don't think it's me You play your part Let's get away From today Find a new time Commit another crime Together in life Love Death And the rest What is it like? Is it like before? Should I move backwards? Counter the clock And find the dream Find the dream Will the new Outplay the old Onwards and upwards Reach for the stars And find the dream Find the dream We left the tv on to seem like We were home The birds have flown To the sun It hasn't alway been as easy As it could be But a new dawn has come For the faithful ones

You caught my You caught my eye When I look away I lose my high You caught my You caught my eye If I look away I lose my high There's nothing in my life That compares to you tonight There's nothing else I need To be happy You're my baby I fought it I fought it before But I can't fight my feelings anymore I fought it I fought it before But I can't fight my feelings anymore There's nothing in my life That compares to you this night There's nothing more I need To be happy You're my baby No use arguing about it I'm going to stand and shout it There's nothing I can do I love you No, there's nothing I can do

Let It Slide 01:57

I took another hit today And my boss thinks I'm a slave There's no rest for The stepped on and the scorned It's all the same, day after day But we've got to earn a wage There's no rest for The stepped on and the scorned I'm sure there's a secret that Is being kept from me Which could make all this So much more than it seems I get up, and enter into The race for my life It's crazy to think I could lose it all For the sake of this What am I to do now?

Make It Stop 04:32
I try to understand What it means to live your nightmare Brought back to life Only to be told they don't care Once you find your feet You are forced to sit down Once you find your voice You are forced to shut up Get away You want to say Get away You try to say Get away You need to Get away It's up to you Pay the price For silence Pray to Christ For guidance Let down again By those who say they're your friends Forgotten and alone Use all your will to defend When you find your feet You are forced to sit down When you find your voice You are forced to shut up
9.
Everything that happens always happens for a reason And the reasoning that happens make me sick to the stomach There is nothing else I need to do but get out of here Find a happy place and travel direct Burnt and broken, take it with you Stake your claim, like they all do Leave me here, I won't miss you Pick up pieces, I will renew It won't happen again Discard old Replace with new Remove the masks we all wear Sight returns slowly Nothing will be clear until the clearing has completed And the pure has been purified with solemn existence Scrape against the bone with the blunt blade Aim for the next target and shut out the rest

about

This album represents my first foray into the world of the annual RPM Challenge, and my first collection of material worthy of being referred to as an album.

In order to fulfill the RPM Challenge requirements, all songs were written and recorded in the month of February 2012 (thank God for the leap year!).

If you like what you hear, and would like to download the album, $0 is a valid amount to pay.
