A song about trying to cope after everything starts to come apart, most of it self-inflicted.

Acoustic Rock to Hard Rock and plenty in between.
Five Years Solitary is a one man project for now. Its something that I do to stay sharp in between the Army and family. I have hopes of putting a band together so I am always writing and recording songs.

Story behind the song
This song is about building good relationships and then destroying them, and trying to cope with the aftermath. This was inspired by a rough patch in my marriage. I had some unresolved personal issues and was in a dark place. It almost cost me everything.
Lyrics
Self-inflicted deja-vu In my heart I always knew The exit wound is shaped like you And now I'm bleeding out The blame, the shame See it on my face, the pain Keeps me grounded, fists are pounding (I pray) I pray that I'm numb today (I pray) I pray that I make it though another day [Chorus] Build it all up just to tear it all down Broken pieces all around Filling all the hole with the bones of my yesterdays Light it all up just to burn it all down Ashes, ashes all rain down Waiting 'til the bell tolls the final sound The flames burn me away The shrapnel from my broken heart The trauma and the mental scars I wear them like a suit of arms And now it weighs me down The blame, the shame Shrouded in a wreath of flames Soul in tatters, nothing matters (I pray) I pray that I'm numb today (I pray) I pray that I make it through another day [Chorus] There's nothing left but the pain I lie Calm and smooth on the surface Hiding all the cracks I have built inside Looking for the pieces that I seem to have left far behind Does it really matter that I've suffered though the fractures of a broke life? Will I finally find a way through the chaos an actually do what's right? But what is right? [Chorus] Burn me away
