Hellbound! 02:08
lyrics

Making small incisions cutting reasons off the rhythms To promote the cancer growth deep within all my good decisions And I cannot stress enough that all my time is less than ample You want a handout? Have a serving, fuck a measly little sample What's up? It's your favorite bad example! With a brand new bag filled with drugs and things to put a hole in your heart and dent in your brain riddled with the scars of the chances I blew And I'm coming to a gutter near you Catch me chillin in the 9th circle, I'm headed back to my hometown I am Hellbound I did my best to rise above the rest and I did not but I'm thinking I'll keep digging and I might come out on top Cuz mistakes will always take the spotlight from your greatest greats Fucking done trying to be the good guy I have become hell Break me from this mortal shell I have become hell Cast me forth unto yourself Fuck it Be not what they want I have become hell Cast me from this mortal shell I have become death Draw forth now, your final breath And be born anew And rise from the ashes right into the sky - The eyes are not here There are no eyes here In this valley of dying stars In this broken jaw of deaths dream kingdom We grope together in imperfection Hollow ...and Hellbound credits

Wish 04:14

I had a dream last night We were partying on every rooftop in town Chilling and smoking and playing our songs Hugging and kissing and laughing and fucking all night long And all this time I always kept it to myself It's been years now and I haven't said shit to her God I wish we fuckin were .... But then I wake up, a dream not here to stay I'm stuck in my old ways You moved out, had a kid, went north and drove... So damn far away And here I am, doing the best that I can I continually swallow The lump you left in my throat That you still don't know about Got my heart inside my head held high I guess I'll stomach this again But I have to say, I'm trying to laugh So I can stop myself crying Got my heart inside my head held high Is this permission to land? Got my heart inside my head held high I'll wait to see the glow of your flare - Got my heart inside my head held high It was for a bit and now you're gone Got my heart inside my head held high I don't know what to do Got my heart inside my head held high And all this time I always kept you in my mind It's been years from now and I'll never get love from them... ...but I tried

My Own Minority (Jesus Buys Heroin) 02:46
lyrics

Don't wanna live my life in this place With the fucked up human race I'd rather waste away Sittin' under bridges all day But they say I'm too good for that "I'm so smart".... shit like that And I guess that they're right I'm way too smart to live with their type Not gonna be Part of your society I'll just be me Hiding from majority Not gonna be All up in conformity I'll just be me My own minority Fuck your ins I've made up my mind With my head held high I'mma leave it all behind No more money No more problems No more thinkin' No more solvin' No more dyin' No more lyin' No more cryin' No more TRYIN! And the cause for concern is clear Cuz the end of the world is here They're killin' us, all beaten to the ground Take my head, parade it around town -Chorus- Don't wanna be My own minority Don't wanna be My own minority I wanna be Part of your conspiracy Not gonna be My own minority...

Bank Job (Barenaked Ladies) 04:54
lyrics

It was an upset In two minutes flat We're back on the freeway Foot to the mat I can't understand it We had it down pat It's very upsetting Could we leave it at that We all had positions We each had a role We'd overrehearsed it We had full control They can't teach you acting It's there in your soul It's the same with a bank job And each thing we stole So I don't need attitude 'Cause you knew just what to do We all did our best now We all need to rest now Leave me alone I was the driver You ran the show You had the last word The go or no go I knew every laneway In Ontario But it's not what you're sure of It's what you don't know It should have been filled with The usual ones Throwing their cash in To mutual funds We all had our ski masks And sawed off shotguns But how do you plan for A bank full of nuns But I guess we panicked We all have taboos And they were like zebras They had us confused We should be in condos With oceanfront views Instead we're most wanted On the 6 o'clock news So, I don't need attitude 'Cause you knew just what to do We all did our best now We all need to rest now Leave me alone Fuckin' leave me alone - Inside the police car You tried to explain Your crisis of conscience The voice in your brain And now that the whole thing Has gone down the drain I think we all know who Should shoulder the blame 'Cause you made a choice there Almost sublime I'm all for compassion Just not on my dime You look like an amateur And that's the real crime So I'll take a walk now And you do the time And I don't need attitude 'Cause you knew just what to do We all did our best now We all need to rest now Leave me alone And throw out your phone... Just leave me alone....

Time... All I have is time... to waste Until this train carries my corpse to the end Though I'm almost glad, cuz this final act is now underway As I descend into The gaping maw OF HELL Wait... I can no longer wait for you Make up your mind Drawing your lines like scoliosis spines And you're breaking my heart every time And it might be the booze Or it might just be the brain that it resides in Or the onset of panic, swelling skin now that we're... Gettin' hot up in here Window pane, can't see clear Watching time fly on by Feeling death Creep inside Watch as the sun fades Gold turning to grey Watch as my life fades Just like this last train ride home

27 years That's 27 times around the sun I used to be in love with everyone And all the places and things that enamored me Continually slip right through all the cracks I'm breaking my back trying to love again To leave my mark.. before I confront the end The future is cruel, relentless And this world will hurt you whenever it's given the chance I've forgotten how innocence should feel So whisper a lie and tell me this ain't real And hold me tight until the stress has been killed The story so far: chaotic and cold Funny to say, its the only thing that feels like home ...to ...me So undeserving of love Dim light Hold tight How unbelievable... I'm still alive - I'm locked inside, being me Living in the gaps in between All of your dreams and realities I'm always trying to reach Between the essence and descent Between the potency and spasms Falls the shadows of my art If I'm going out, I'm gonna leave my mark I'll go hard, and now I know where to start I was never known for being one to shut my mouth I'm gonna be as loud as loud can be Cause it always becomes a memory And you're so vain if you think I can't change This shit you put me through won't ever rest in peace And if you're wondering just exactly what I will do What will I do? I'll just be me Cause thats All I Can Be I survived

about

November 7th, 2021 at 2:00 AM in Harrisburg, PA, I fell asleep behind the wheel and rolled my car, I almost lost my life.

Injured, depressed, lonely, and confined to my house without a vehicle, I decided to make the most of it by writing songs about the accident, the emotions I was feeling, and the things I learned in the aftermath of the last tragedy of probably the worst year of my life. Writing music has been a coping mechanism of mine for years, and I wasn't about to stop - I needed it now more than ever in that moment.

The 6 songs I wrote for myself were compiled onto an EP I decided to name "The 27 Club". I released it on my 27th birthday... a little less than a month after the accident. I felt accomplished, I impressed myself... something I rarely do.

Though I'm very content with the record, the demos remained in limbo. I always thought "What if this song made the cut?" "What if I composed this song differently?" - it ate me alive until I couldn't resist anymore... I had to release this.

"I Survived" is a compilation of B-sides, covers, and alternate versions of songs that were all recorded around and during the time of tracking The 27 Club. It was a fun little project of scraping the barrel for the last little bit of fun left in an otherwise pretty grim record.

So enjoy the "What ifs" and "What could haves" that have been tumbling around in my brain for a year. Like them or not, let them serve as a reminder that I survived... and that I'm going to continue to do so.
