End of Days

The Band imploded. That how I feel about it anyway. Shit got too real. I realized that there was a whole mess of Bullshit that wasn't going to get fixed anytime soon. Kendra quit, and so did I.

It sucks, but my minds made up and I'm not going to change it. So now what? Now I look to the future. Here are my plans for the coming months:

Keep working - I've got a decent job and I don't want to lose it. having money is awesome. I'm going to have to cut my hours a bit when school starts, but that's ok, as long as I get steady work/paychecks.

Start a new music project - I was thinking about starting a side band, and now perhaps it'll be my new thing. My idea is for a stripped down, low fi sound. Dirty and nasty and heavy but with a simple set up. Probably only a three-piece setup. I'm thinking The Black Keys meets The Clash.

Writing/performing - with my lack of band, even if I form a new one, I still want to continue to write and compose. One of the best things about Lunate Sigma was it allowed me to write at my own pace and I think I actually came up with some cool stuff. I'm going to continue doing that, band or not. Maybe I'll try to find some open mics or something, just to get out there and perform.

School - I'm really going to try to throw my full weight into my studies this semester. I've been slacking lately, and I want to be able to support myself with my art. The only way to do that is to learn all I can about it, so I can apply it to the real world. Also graduating would be nice.

Interning - The guy who's engineered all the recordings I've been on asked me if I wanted to work in his studio for an unpaid intern kinda deal. I was going to ask him the same thing, so that works out. I get to learn about it, then apply it right away (hopefully), which is great for me.

Finances - I really need to stop buying things. It's becoming a problem.

The Way I Feel

Tonight I want to be the villain
Tonight You'll have to chase me down
tonight the rules go out the window
We'll bury them deep under the ground

Last time I left you wanting
Last time I stopped too soon
Last time I kept my head
This time I sing a different tune

I want to make evil
I want you to be afraid
I want you to turn
and tell me to stay away

I want to blur the line
between what I say and what I mean
The last thing I want
Is to appear the way I seem.

Last Stand

When you call me out I rise to meet you
The only place for me to be is there
All the things I have and want to show you
Anything else would just be unfair
_

Stand up
I’m right here
I’ll take you down

So now
Can’t forget
(Anything else would just be unfair)
I’m gonna bring you around
_

Maybe you think I can be won over
I’m afraid on all accounts you’re wrong
Seems like you just want to gauge my power
Test me now and I’ll show you I’m strong
_

Stand up
I’m right here
I’ll take you down

So now
Can’t forget
(Test me now and I’ll show you I’m strong)
I’m gonna bring you around
_

Famous/Last words
Show you/You’ll see
Waste of/My time
_

All the things I have and want to show you
Anything else would just be unfair

Happy 4th Everypeople!
