Original song that was performed live with a former friend late in 2017. Will be remaking a studio version soon.
rock original devastated
History of having too much time on my hands. Wish I had a full band to transpose this stuff. I suck with real instruments, so I generally rely on synthetic st
Mostly just me. I've been in numerous projects/bands over the years, all based in or around Cedar Rapids, IA, such as STIFLE, Vent, Three Degrees East, and Two Fifths/Relapse (Acoustic Duo). Finding and keeping a full band has always been a dream/goal, but is apparently much more difficult than it should be. I use whatever media at my disposal to "create" backing music for my vocal structures and yes, I do write plenty of my own lyrics. As a kid I'd always sing in the shower and try to memorize as many songs I heard on the radio as I could lol Guess it's just always been in me. I've always strived to be better, and have better equipment to work with, but that's also been a bit taxing.

Song about the signs of the world's potential demise
Lyrics
"DEVASTATED" Agitation's killing us, the air ain't so clear All around us they're filling us with shit that we can't hear The walls are closing in, yeah the times are looking grim Guess it's best for everyone to learn how to swim Nature is a beast that no one can tame Try to tell me otherwise, well man - you're just lame Can't expect to hold out with your bare hands in the cold Feast your eyes upon the prize, the future we hold Can't you see it? The damage is done and there's no turning back Do you fear it? When everything's gone and fades to black Can't you see it? The damage is done and there's no turning back Do you fear it? When everything's gone and fades to black Seems the days are wasting, and ignorance is bound To the ways we're placing our heads in the ground The world keeps crying out for a means to be saved Damn, I guess it's best for us all to just wave (goodbye) Nature is a beast that no one can tame Try to tell me otherwise, well man - you're just lame Can't expect to hold out with your bare hands in the cold Feast your eyes upon the prize, the future we hold Can't you see it? The damage is done and there's no turning back Do you fear it? When everything's gone and fades to black Can't you see it? The damage is done and there's no turning back Do you fear it? When everything's gone and fades to black There's still a wandering soul somewhere It's diggin, searching for a truth that's not there Will it find peace? Or will it find despair? Doesn't seem likely that anyone cares Can't you see it? The damage is done and there's no turning back Do you fear it? When everything's gone and fades to black Can you believe it? Sometimes it's better to leave well alone Do ya hear it? It calls from inside you, your conscience, your home
