About Me
I
am one of 6 people in my grade that listens to Grunge/Alternative music,
so I am sort of an outcast. My favorite band, of course, is
Everclear. I also like Nirvana, Beck, Foo Fighters, Sunspot, Red
Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Filter, Rage Against the Machine, Weezer,
Bush, the Toadies, the Meat Puppets, Stone Temple Pilots... Actually it
is easier to list bands I don't like. Here goes Nine Days,
Vertical Horizon, Offspring, Slipknot, Kittie, most hardcore music, any type of Rap, Hip Hop, Pop, these people
can go to hell. I play the bass. I also have written a few songs, for
my band Entropy, and our first album is
going to be called "Hey, if We had Talent We Would've Wasted it by
Now." So look for that in a store near you soon, J/K.
Here are the songs that I wrote

My Head:
Keep it away, isolate me
in a cell and threw away my key
Burning the bridges, cutting the ropes
Killing my reality, my dreams, my hopes
Your soul has been sought, but mine can’t be bought
They take away your voice, they take away your thought
You say it’s my head
I say it’s the outside world
It’s those bad voices
It’s those bad things
He says I’m weird
She says I’m to be feared
Looking for friends
Anything for the ends
Feeling crazed
Living dazed
Turn up the dosage, let it flow through
The doctor talking behind, watching you
Treated like nothing
Yet feeling something
Head Spinning, air thinning
Head out on another drug induced dream
Can’t smile, Can’t lash out and scream
Floating, Falling,
Burning, Crawling
How does it help!?!?
You say it’s my head
I say it’s the outside world
it’s those bad voices
It’s those bad things
He says I’m weird
She says I’m to be feared
Looking for friends
Anything for the ends
Feeling crazed
Living dazed
Keep it away, isolate me
Lock me in a cell and throw away my key
Burning the bridges, cutting the ropes
Killing my reality, my dreams, my hopes
Your soul has been sought, but mine can’t be bought
They take away your voice, they take away your thought
- Twisting In The Love
I used to be lonely
Drifting through life
An empty loser
Looking for something
Maybe it was nothing
Maybe it was everything
I was lost in it
It was lost in me
I was looking for it
It was looking for me
Then it hit me
I was saved by her
I had found her
I felt the world
I was no longer
We were each other
We lived as one
In complete bliss
It was everything
It wasn’t nothing
I was lost in her
She was lost in me
I found her
She found me
She filled the void
The place in my bed
Quieted the voices in my head
And I was happy
Twisting in the love
I felt no hate
I felt no pain
I felt no fear
Twisting in the love
I was at one with her
She was the one
Her, Her, Her, Her!
- The Nothing of Negation
Nothing is everything
It is the start
And the ending
Nothing illuminates the dark
Everything is a collection
Of the middle
It is where it has been
Full of mindless dribble
We are somewhere in the center
Between light and dark
Where no man dares enter
You can’t hear the dogs bark
We are at the apocalypse
In the nothing of negation
Where god sits and sips
On his beautiful amalgamation
After this is done
There is nothing
There is only one
So there is something
We are rolling through
Racing to the start
There is nothing we can do
Let it pull us through the dark
We live in the now
We can’t live then
Why ask how
We are men
- Placebo Day
I woke up at noon
I feel worthless
Once again
I walked out into
Out into my house
I searched for a place
A place I’d never been to
I felt empty inside
Still drowsy from sleep
I felt that I had died
And no one was left to weep
The moon was down
And the sun was out
I walked around town
All I wanted was to shout
Shout about my hate!
Shout about my pain!
Shout about my love!
Shout about my good!
Times!
I need to stop
And get away
From this placebo day
Run far, Run fast
Win the race
Then get last
Bleach my hair
Rip my jeans
I wanna be fair
Like the dad of Francis Bean
The night came after
After that Placebo day
Missing my laughter
I began to play
Play about my hate!
Play about my pain!
Play about my love!
Play about my good!
Times!
I was waiting for the next dawning
Under my neatly shaded awning
Waiting for the next placebo day
So I could find a new way to play
I’ll just waste away
Through this placebo day
I’ll think my thoughts away
In this placebo day
- Teenage Innocence
I was the punk rocker
That you never suspected
We shared that locker
But I was never effected
By this insanity
That we call vanity
You got all dressed up
Only to be messed up
By your peers
Which awakened your brand new fears
Teenage anguish is a lie
We just pretend to be slow
We do it to make you cry
We’re here to make you low
And we never walked quite the same way
And we never talked quite the same way
And we never dressed how you wanted us to
And we never acted how you wanted us to
You wasted your teenage innocence
Tell me, does that make any sense
You let them through to you
How come I never knew
We left you far behind
To waste away in that town
But we’re sure you don’t mind
Cause you’re just a conformist clown
Teenage anguish is a lie
We just pretend to be slow
We do it to make you cry
We’re here to make you low
And we never walked quite the same way
And we never talked quite the same way
And we never dressed how you wanted us to
And we never acted how you wanted us to
I was the punk rocker
That you never suspected
We shared that locker
But I was never effected
By this insanity
That we call vanity
Teenage anguish is a lie
We just pretend to be slow
We do it to make you cry
We’re here to make you low
And we never walked quite the same way
And we never talked quite the same way
And we never dressed how you wanted us to
And we never acted how you wanted us to
- Love You Like I Should
You said you loved me
But you won’t get close to me
Do I have a disease
Or a bad case of fleas
I wanna hold you in my arms
And love you like I should
But you won’t let me touch you
You won’t let me love you
I wanna touch your soft skin
I wanna smell your silky hair
I wanna kiss your sweet lips
I wanna love you like I should
You turn away my advances
But you still put me in your trances
I feel so awkward around you
Nothing I do is right
Please don’t yell at me
It wasn’t my fault
I don’t want to fight
Not tonight
Or ever again
I love you so much
It hurts inside
I just wanna feel your touch
It makes me warm inside
I wanna touch your pale skin
I wanna smell your dark hair
I wanna kiss your red lips
I wanna love you like I should
I wanna love you like I should
Like I should
Love you like I should
Love you like I could
Like I could
You told me you loved me
But you won’t get close to me
I try hard and you turn away
You say someday
It will be all right
But until then let’s never fight
My thoughts on life
- It is ok to be lazy, as long as it doesn't
interfere with your success in life
- Believe what you want to believe, as long as
you aren't a jack ass about what you believe
- Sleep often and sleep for a long time
- Listen to a hell of a lot of music, it will
make you a better person
- Live how you want to live, I'm too lazy to stop
you
- Don't be a conformist, why live in someone
else's shadow?
- Check out the enlightenment section at the
Mega Crap Site of Doom
- Don't go along with fads. They die out, and
they you are left there looking like an idiot
