Some Release Notes:

Today, July 1st, 2018, I am releasing my first “official” solo single ever.  It’s called “Gone, A Reason” and explores the concept of suicide as a means of self preservation through self sabotage.  Inspired by the many people who are no longer with us, but shouldn’t have left so soon.  It’s also inspired by the general self-sabotage we encounter on daily basis, excuses that we believe are reasons not to pursue our goals.

“Gone, A Reason”, was written, recorded, and submitted for distribution in the month of June, 2018.  It was used as a means to push through many of my own excuses and to grind through all of the challenges until I had a song in the world.  Now I’ve taken the first and most difficult step.

Lyrics:

Chorus:

I’ve got a reason to live
Don’t know what it is
I’ve got no reason to give
Won’t quit ’til I discover it
I’ve got no reason to give
I’ve got a reason to live
Don’t know what it is
Won’t quit ’til I discover it

Verse 1:

Begin the search inside yourself
Follow your pain into the center
Dig and pick until you make a mess
Don’t stop ’til you reach madness

Chorus:

I’ve got a reason to live
Don’t know what it is
I’ve got no reason to give
Won’t quit ’til I discover it
I’ve got no reason to give
I’ve got a reason to live
Don’t know what it is
Won’t quit ’til I discover it

Verse 2:

The sound you hear is your conciousness
Being subdued by your selfishness
It all comes down to how you perceive yourself
The ego is your narcissist

Chorus:

I’ve got a reason to live
Don’t know what it is
I’ve got no reason to give
Won’t quit ’til I discover it
I’ve got no reason to give
I’ve got a reason to live
Don’t know what it is
Won’t quit ’til I discover it

B.U.T.Bridge:

Brain into the frying pan
The void is calling us again
Drowning in an afterthought
Of mind memetic complexes
Thoughts into existance
One voice louder than the rest
Attempt self preservation
Protect the pain we’ve kept

Exceptance:

I’ve got no reason to give
That’s just the way that it is
