Wanderlust

about

The only peace I find is in the music. The only time my brain is calm is when I'm on the road.

lyrics

Well I was runnin’
Before I could walk
And I was angry
Before I could talk
Born broken, long before I could see
The embers of my family tree
With skellies layin’ down in the roots
And the worms all diggin’ for food

I find beauty
In broken glass
And when I’m bad
I’m a good piece of ass
I first left home at fifteen
Made friends with poverty
Been so wrecked, I got holes in my brain
And paper work that says I’m insane

I am skulls
And butterflies
And what you see
Ain’t some clever disguise
I’ve fallen in some pretty big holes
Guilty from a lack of control
Try to run my truck off the road
Every time I lose sight of goal

Well I’m driven
By the noise in my head
Inspired
By the life that I’ve led
Music’s all that keeps me sane
Some times it’s so hard to maintain
Gonna pour my heart out on some strings
And live in my own reality

As I keep movin’
On down the line
And I’m leavin’
All my friends behind
But I’ll stop in for the next show
When it’s done, it’s time to go
Goin’ crazy if I stay too long
So I go, go, go ’till I’m gone
Go, go, go ’till I’m gone
Go, go, go ’till I’m gone
Go, go, go ’till I’m gone
Go, go, go ’till I’m gone

This was inspired by a Bob Wayne song, Blood to Dust. I love that song so much, it's a good story that paints a picture in your head. I had always wanted to find a way to tell my own story in my own words with my own song. Life can be fucked, but you own it for better or worse, pick up the pieces, and move on.

Skulls & Butterflies

It is the breaking of my heart and the triumphs you obtain when you smash through walls. Life is pain, it's suffering, but it's also beautiful because of it. Lyrics just as raw and honest as I am, maybe even more so. An intense, emotional ride. My heart on my sleeve, the baring of my soul. ... more
