The internet is a great place to find many useful pieces of information

What the hell am I doing here?
Waiting, for what? Why?
Like catching bullets in the wind
Watching answers fly
These are darkened times
An inner light still shines
This pool of wax is old and wide
a fox tail dances, slowly now
His body hides, underground

Only looking out
Or looking in

Surgery, mask up, dust ruffle tucked
Luxuries not luck,
Can't be counting chances
While we tickle out your guts
While I'm tugging for your secrets
and your sights unseen
I watch a mine collapsing
as these last coals are cut

I left that candle where it sat
What's more I left it's shell
I would have had my truth
And then boredom and horror

Feathers lacking capillaries
Found grounded where they fell
Drained of nothing special
Still, I'm apt towards burial.





I thought it would be fun to post some of my lyrics here. These are pretty much brand new. Describes a lot of how I've been feeling lately. I wish I had other ways to bide my time right now. Also, Achilles Just came on to my iTunes, so I think that means I should post their second album, Hospice. This album really kills. Heavy, melodic, aggressive, emotive and generally just great songs.
I often have trouble remaining loyal to bands because I'll love one release and not care at all about any of the others, Achilles managed to have me hooked from the first time I put this disc in my CD player. Despite my worries they wouldn't live up to The Dark Horse
I remember the show I got it at. It was at the Westcott Community Center in Syracuse, NY and Damiera, Lemuria, Showdown at the Pier and Pantera II. It was Damiera's first show with the new line-up as I remember it.
Anyway, the guy from Hex records was there (his band played too, but I can't remember their name for the life of me. I remember the crowd really dug the set. Hometown hero maybe, but he was honestly a great guy, we talked for a while outside the venue after. He had this disc in a bin, I bought it. My brother bought a Damiera shirt. It was a pretty cool day. Also, I happened to see Hart there, before I knew him. He was the drummer for showdown at the pier, now he is the guitarist and part-time mastermind behind The Environment, which I am in and go to our myspace.
