I had a child in my dead arms today
She held fast to the bitter ends of my cold hands
I was looking up to wonder when she lost her breath
We must've known there was an end to meet these means
When a sacred value has been ascribed
To almost all we'd left behind
Where was I going from there and what was I thinking
I couldn't focus on the reason or the place from which I came
Could you believe how lost I'd been
Because the spider cracked windshield was too close to my eyes
But when abbadon has rendered time to repeat
You oftentimes remember the little boy,
Just romantic sediment for excavation
The fossils of tender from my past
Who was and wanted, be
I am acclaimed by the dead, celebrated by expatriates
Reanimation is for the planished
Remembrance, for the punished
This one's for you
Don't ever come into my home, my heart
To find hate, to cast hurt and cast wind into your curtain
You won't find no home for histrionics
Cause in the plush flesh of the body of stars above your bed
Is where I won't be dwelling, in the shade of your conceit
I have my own arms to hold me, but they're already dead
Bellicose, I seek this dream, in ardor scream
A celebration of those we've left for dead

Influences: To quote Agnostic Front: “We support UNITY! We despise ignorance and hatred within our scene. The only people we should be at war with is those who oppress us, not with each other. Unite! Fight the system! Not ourselves! Believe – Hardcore!â€
GlassJAw, Darkest Hour, Sage Francis, Animosity, Aesop Rock, Deftones, Gigantic Brain, Attila, Beneath The Massacre, Blue Scholars, The Coup, The Human Abstract, Sole and the Skyrider Band, Dead Prez, 36 Crazyfists, Immortal Technique, Coheed And Cambria, Dredg, Geoff Farina and Karate, Cursive, Malcolm X, Mike Seely, Carl Jung, Acid Tong, all the local bands (Klamath, Eugene and PDX) that are my brothers and sisters and/or I just plain love their music, life experiences, friends and family, anyone who ever tried to bring me down, lift me up or have my back.
I love hardcore (old school and new), thrash, metal, punk, experimental, indie, hip hop, death metal, grindcore, and everything in between and otherwise. I like a lot of stuff, I'm pretty damn open minded.
My previous band experiences: The Kind (vocals), The Accident (guitar, some backing vocals), Christian Kill Youth (drums), Cutthroat Resistance (guitar, second vocals), and a brief stint on bass w/ Krush Klamath. I've also jammed with a crapload of people. Southern Oregon, baby.
Sounds Like: A little bit of everything + something fresh.
