Progressive finger-style guitar, with emotional melodies and raw, honest lyrics.
I invite you to amble through my world of raw, emotional and honest song writing. I hope it might strike a chord in you and be a little more like a flower among the thorns of unsigned amateurs here on SoundClick. Though I indeed am a unsigned amateur myself.

Lyrics
I am a mortician I lay to rest what makes me alive I am a physician I keep alive what I should let die The earth is cursed and I am made from its dirt Right is wrong, wrong is right Up is down and down is turned around Oh black hole within me you've only swallowed the good Oh black hole within darkness is all you've left me to work with Am I floating in space hoping to bump into something green? All I know is I've grown cold and have drifted from the sun O what do we do when self-control dies? What happens when things are left to itself? Well, lets just say nature takes it course The plants die and the weeds over take The bugs infest and the rot brings down Look at a garden and you've a picture of the soul Oh and the gardener is dead, he died a long time ago Oh look at a house and you've a picture of the soul the pets have multiplied and the house keeper is dead I need a miracle worker For my self-control is dead Anarchy is the rule And My spirits hands are tied He watches as all he worked for goes up in flames Well, I guess that is only when his eyes are open See, he is so malnourished, he rarely opens them Or he just likes playing dead
