Hey everyone!!! thank you for checking out my soundclick page and I hope you like my music :) I haven't updated this in over a year, so I figured that a change was due. Here's what's going on these days...
NEW music will be up by January at the very latest! The 2nd album, "Sinful" is going to be a free download and only the best of my new work :) I've been really picky this time around with my lyrics and everything. It'll have a few badass collabs on it including one with my buddy Steve playing guitar.

Story behind the song
Alice in Wonderland is a story (turned movie) about a girl, Alice, who falls down a bunny hole into this strange world where she runs into the Chesire Cat, an invisible wise alec, a big catepillar whom is smokes his opium pipe, but has quite a temper, and all other surreal creatures/people/circumstances.
Go Ask Alice is a 1976 (pretty sure, might be '78) diary of a teenage (14) girl, named Alice for namesake, who is set up at a party with acid by playing "button button" (14 cokes, 4 have tabs of acid in them). After that, she goes through the world of addiction which is just as dark and mystical as Alice in Wonderland.
The other connection is that people say the author of Alice in Wonderland was high on acid when he wrote it, so I figured it'd be an interesting parallel.
Lyrics
::: Verse 1:::
I'm in a room
Looking down at the bunny hole and I assume
That it's nothing more than a little dot on the floor
Not a detour from the life that I have chosen
The life that I have grown with
And I'd like to think so
Like to think that I don't need to go
That my life is right in front of me
For what it is, I'm moving to what's gonna be
Before I'm underneath
6 feet deep and I'm falling deeper everyday
Leading me astray
Yet I always find my way back to the 'caine
Not able to relax or recap
It feels like I'm buying cigarrettes without sin tax
Cause I know it's wrong, but it's so damn easy
And I really want it- it's the only thing that feeds me
*conscience talking*
"I'm not a bad person, just curious
Got caught up, now, who's hurting us?"
::: Chorus 1:::
There's something deep inside of me I'm dying to get out
Heroin and acid keep on tripping me to fall down
I see what I don't know and I feel what I can't hold
::: Verse 2 (Doc Rizk) :::
I need to focus on the rabbit race
A little tortoise on my backside told me that he's glad to hate
Had to make haste, couldn't waste time
Standing in waiting lines
Knowledge is there, but you stare with a vacant mind
I'm falling deep into a hole before I made mine
Red or blue, fuck it, crush 'em up, I'm sniffing purple lines
I did it several times
I'm going insane, out my mind
Acid ate, now I'm watching shit change
Yes, this is a pivotal track
Address the facts deep down, where the minerals at?
I've been known to be involved in some criminal acts
The Mad Hatter, back to trap the invisible cat
If I could see them, these pussies would get beaten
The depths that I've been reaching- rock bottom-
As we sleeping on the street
If need be, he who sees me
I'm something of a sweet pea
I risk it all- cause the struggle is what feeds me
::: Chorus 2:::
There's something deep inside of me I'm dying to get out
Heroin and acid keep on breaking me down
I see what I don't wanna see, it's freaking me out
