A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
My goal in music is much the same as my goal in life. I wish to take all the things I love and combine them into one. I want to experience the beauty of life not by watching it happen around me, but witnessing it come from within myself. I desire to become the perfect reflection of everything that I think is AWESOME, both in my life and in my craft. I've only just begun to find my sound and what I want to do with it. You'll notice many of the songs I upload are of entirely different styles. My end goal is to incorporate them all into one mass of EPIC. Any feedback or collaboration is more than welcome. UPDATE: I don't upload my music anymore because soundclick says the file size is too big and because soundcloud is generally better. You can find the rest of my music at soundcloud.com/innoculus .

Story behind the song
Like anything I write, it's just a personal account of my life progression, craziness intact.
Lyrics
(Intro) (tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick) (Alarm rings) F*** Rise and shine... (Chorus) Yeah, Another god damned day Another 24 hours I've got to face Nothing to gain, and still there's hell to pay The sands of time are winning this race (Verse 1) Peace of mind is a forfeit luxury, living this way Every time I look, the clock is ticking my life away Scrambling through this labyrinth in my mind I'm alive and aware, but I'm running out of time (Chorus) (Verse 2) This reality of mine is slipping away now I'll find an honorable way out of this, somehow Too proud, too good for the easy way out, you see? Forced now to question the reason for my apathy (Chorus) (Guitar Solo) (Interlude) (Recited in rhythm. Basically rapped. But how a dude like me would design it. Whatever that means.) What's the problem? You got a difficult life, kid? Do you think you're not responsible for any of this? Get out of bed, pick up your head, and take a look around you With open eyes, you'll realize; this awakening is overdue I'm confused, 'cause I see your eyes are losing tears, All this sh** is old news, and you're wise beyond your years, You've reviewed the facts, now answer this to yourself: Are you ready to stand up and break out of this hell? Rise and shine! This time is mine. (Outro Chorus) As I follow with my eyes, the final grain of sand I decide to myself that it's time to be a man I'll stand and fight for the life that is mine I've overcome myself in a race against time
