Something New? (What's to come of 2012)

Wow! It's been so long since I've done anything on this blog, it's been a crazy year! I have discovered so much about myself and what I can accomplish. Now I must seek out a new direction, and write something great! I finally posted the ending of the album I've been working on, and already I've been writing something new. In all this time, I've been writing about me for a change! I've learned a lot about myself in my writing. 2012 is going to be something different in the same. In recent months I've been writing an album called, "The Truth Hurts (Even Those Who Tell It)" Sort of a follow up to "Where Have I Been?" and it's been going well. For the first time in my writing I can be honest...not always the nice kind of honest. But I've begun speaking my mind in ways I have never done before. With the progress of this album I have grown very much as a writer. You can expect the full album to be posted here in 2012! (Thats for certain!) In recent weeks in fact I've been thinking of my third album! I have so many good ideas and I think I can turn it into something great. (Maybe into some of my best material ever!) Then my plan is to finally progress back into the real point of this blog! Which would mean finishing the story of the Legacy Inferno! I'm excited about this new direction and what I can accomplish! Until 2012, stay tuned, and learn of the new and exciting things to come! :)

Goodbye

Where Have I Been?

10.) Goodbye

I've watched the world,

Pass me by.

I've paid my dues,

I've done my time.

But still I'm left hanging here,

Waiting for your last goodbye.

Have I been wasting away?

Have I lost all my time?

Am I just a failure who doesn't see,

The truth inside your eyes.

All this time I've been waiting,

For your final goodbye.

God I've let myself,

Become something I didn't want to be.

I've heald such hope,

But no change has come to me.

Now after all I've lost.

I'm left empty handed.

Have I been wasting away?

Have I lost all my time?

Am I just a failure who doesn't see,

The truth inside your eyes.

All this time I've been waiting,

For your final goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Where Have I Been?

Where Have I Been?

9.) Where Have I Been?

I've seen things as they are.

I've made my own mistakes.

I've lived my life deprived.

Of hope and simple dreams.

When things don't make sense,

I look to you.

I search for a reason why,

My nightmares come true.

What do you have to prove?

You've won, I live for you.

Keep moving on,

Find a place where you belong.

Keep moving on,

Take a chance and prove them wrong.

It seems like time is passing me by.

Like everything I do falls apart.

No matter what I try.

When will I wake from this nightmare?

And seperate myself from whats unfair.

Keep moving on,

Find a place where you belong.

Keep moving on,

Take a chance and prove them wrong.

Where have I been?

What have I done?

Did I lose my way?

Was I always wrong?

I feel it's time, to break out of my shell.

Open up, open up and see the truth.

Realize what you have to lose.

Keep moving on,

Find a place where you belong.

Keep moving on,

Take a chance and prove them wrong.

Prove them wrong....

Close your eyes, let go of regret.

Break all ties, and never forget.

This Path

Where Have I Been?

8.) This Path

I've walked this path alone,

For too long.

Losing my sights on life,

For too long.

But still I try to understand,

Why I've wasted my time...as a lonely man.

Walk down this path with me.

Discover who I'm meant to be.

Maybe in time you'll see,

That anythings possible,

If you live to be free.

All my life,

I've tried to find my place.

Losing sights,

On all I've had to gain.

Still I remain,

At the breaking point of my mistakes.

Walk down this path with me.

Discover who I'm meant to be.

Maybe in time you'll see,

That anythings possible,

If you live to be free.

Walk down this path, and live free.

I'm Such A Pessimist

Where Have I Been?

7.) I'm Such A Pessmist

Today I woke up,

Feeling like nothing mattered.

Like the world I've known,

Began moving faster.

Its beyond me now.

And I don't see an end.

Its changed me,

From who I was to who I am.

Sometimes I don't feel like trying.

I don't think I can change.

This person I've created inside me.

Still remains the same.

One day I woke up feeling,

Like the world was against me.

Like I'd given up all hope,

On the person I knew I should be.

And all the dreams I'd drempt,

Were wasting away.

And the life I should've lived,

I spent losing my way.

The world thinks they know,

Who I've become.

The world thinks they know,

All that I've done.

The truth is,

They don't know me at all.

Everyone see's me,

For who I am not.

But no one understands me,

For what I have lost.

All the dreams I've drempt,

Have wasted away.

All my life I've lived,

Trapped inside my mistakes.

Disappointment.

Disappointment.

Disappointment.

Disappointment,

Is all I've ever known.

Lacking Inspiration

Where Have I Been?

6.) Lacking Inspiration

These words won't surface,

Somethings holding them down.

I can't find the words,

To express what I've found.

A lack of something has stopped me,

From finding whats inside of me.

But no longer will I hold it in,

These words must come out,

My inspiration must give in.

Will everything be alright?

When my voice decides to leave tonight.

Or have the days I've come to know,

Left me with no voice to show.

Now I'm in need of some inspiration.

Who knew I could find,

What I'd been longing to hear.

But the words escaped from my lips,

Quicker than they appeared.

Thats the day I turned around.

Will everything be alright?

When my voice decides to leave tonight.

Or have the days I've come to know,

Left me with no voice to show.

Now I'm in need of some inspiration.

Somtimes, the words are hard to find.

And I can't find my way out.

The days seem to go on and on.

Can I find a solution sometime?

Or is there no answer, no truth?

No way back to you.

I've been roaming here for days.

Waiting for a sign, or escape.

I'm waiting for a sign or sensation.

Too long have I been Lacking Inspiration.

Will everything be alright?

When my voice decides to leave tonight.

Or have the days I've come to know,

Left me with no voice to show.......

Designs

Where Have I Been?

5.) Designs

We are all...

We are all...

Painting pictures,

Of regret.

Painting pictures,

Of regret.

Do we see,

What time we've spent?

Hiding behind the walls,

Walls of regret.

I am sick of the way.

I've lived my life.

But soon I'll find a place,

Much better for me.

All the times I've lived,

Mean nothing.

But I will fight,

For my last breath on this earth.

This pain will be heard.

We are all...

We are all...

We are all...designs.

Seen It All Before

Where Have I Been?

4.) Seen It All Before

I've seen it all before.

The way you move on,

Not understanding.

What you have lost,

There's no comprehending.

What it really meant,

To watch it slip away.

There's so much remorse,

You hold day to day.

Until you can't breathe anymore.

Until you can't breathe anymore.

Why, must these nights slip away?

Where have they gone?

Where have they been?

I can't bare, letting them slip away.

Thats a pain I won't bare again.

We've seen it all before.

We've seen it all before.

There's something in your eyes.

That brings me new life.

I pray our time won't die.

But that was then,

And this is now.

Why, must these nights slip away?

Where have they gone?

Where have they been?

I can't bare, letting them slip away.

Thats a pain I won't bare again.

We've seen it all before.

We've seen it all before.

But now its over.

The days are gone.

The pain has ceased,

To live on.

Now I've broken ties,

Broken ties with you.

Wasting Away

Where Have I Been?

3.) Wasting Away

Why, you coward?

How could you take this from me?

Your a monster,

A deciever,

A trickster of ways.

Who doesn't see,

Through the guilt,

Or the shame.

Why did you do this?

Why did you do this?

To me.

Everything I knew,

Was draining like an hourglass.

Lost in time,

Trapped, repeating the past.

Does it ever seem to catch up to you?

Does it ever seem to catch up to you?

What have you done?

What have you done?

All that I knew was wasting away.

All that I knew was wasting away.

You'll find me here,

In the darkest of times.

Lost in the life I'm living,

I'm wasting away tonight.

Why, you parasite?

You dealer of lies.

Why must you bring me here,

In the darkest of times.

Am I just a fool?

Am I just a fool,

A fool to you?

You'll find me here,

In the darkest of times.

Lost in the life I'm living,

I'm wasting away tonight.

Tonight!

What's Said, What's Better Left Unsaid

Where Have I Been?

2.) What's Said, What's Better Left Unsaid

Where were you?

Where were you?

When I needed you most.

Where did they go?

The dreams I used to know.

Has the world I've cherished,

Begun to perish?

At the sound of your voice.

The sound of your voice.

"What do you care?"

"What do you care?"

The words still ringing in my ears.

With the worst of words.

You left me here.

To drown alone,

In my own fear.

Now I'm gone.

Standing in shame,

Shame of my mistake.

I didn't know,

I could hate you so much.

Its a sad thing,

To think that of your own blood.

But you left me with no choice.

With no choice.

"What do you care?"

"What do you care?"

The words still ringing in my ears.

With the worst of words,

You left me here.

To drown alone,

In my own fear.

Now I'm gone.

I wrote my dreams on paper,

To watch you tear it up.

Burn another page.

And throw it away.

Burn another page.

And throw it all away.

I Will Be Heard

Where Have I Been?

1.) I Will Be Heard

Where should I begin?

What have I been doing?

Where have I been?

So much time I've wasted,

Will it see an end?

The days of being ignored,

Have begun pushing forward.

No longer can I stand for this,

I will be heard.

I live in a world, cast aside.

Trying to find my place, in this life.

Too long have the little things,

Been picking me apart.

I wonder if I'll ever find,

Whats hiding in my heart.

Maybe then will I see,

What I've made myself to be.

I live in a world, cast aside.

Trying to find my place, in this life.

So long have I been,

So misunderstood.

No I won't be the one,

To stand for this.

I've done all I can,

I've done all I could.

But I haven't recieved,

Anything in return.

What have I been doing?

Where have I been?

Will I ever be, a better man?

I live in a world, cast aside.

Trying to find my place, in this life.

But tonight, I will be heard.

I Will Be Heard.

I Will Be Heard.

I Will Be Heard.

Introduction (Where Have I Been?)

It feels like ages since the last time I posted anything on here! In the time I've been away, I had a great dilemma! I had totally lost my voice, I wasn't able to write anything. It was a real problem for me, and for the first time I thought I couldn't write again. Then one day while listening to some music I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time. I felt the need to write, I sat at my desk and pulled out some paper, and finally wrote a song. To this day I am very proud of that song. It is called, "Wasting Away." And it became the foundation for a new album. I kept writing, and writing and I was very proud that I managed to find my voice again. For this album I had to ask myself a question...and that question developed into the title for this album. Its called, "Where Have I Been?" I am very proud of what I've accomplished with this material. I hope that you will enjoy it the same! Here is the first song off this new album! Enjoy!

Weekly Update #11

So long have I tried to put the words on the page, but the inspiration is fading. I'm doing my best to keep things going, but I'm trying! I hope to post something new soon, I am going to post some more off topic songs while I continue to work on finishing this album! Sorry its been so long, but life has been quite busy for me lately! I hope to have something new, soon! Until then, THANK YOU!

Weekly Update #10

I am working hard on the series, just taking a break! I seem to have lost my inspiration, and I'm sure I'll find it soon. Then I can sit down, and finish this album! I am excited how this has turned out so far, and I only have 4 more songs to write. I might begin posting some more Off Topic Songs, while I continue working ahead! We will see, but until then! Stay tuned..THANK YOU!

The Angels

The Legacy Inferno 2: Awakening
8.) The Angels

The world beyond our view, will fade.
In the acceptance of your grace.
Wrap your arms around me.
And lift me up, up high.
Breathe in some new life.
And let your bright light shine.
Wrap your arms around me.
And carry me away.

We'll search for The Angels.
And know where they will lead.
We'll search for The Angels.
To finally be set free.

I fear, in the pain thats past.
That this heartache will last.
But I know you will guide me.
To the place I've been searching.
Searching to discover the truth.
I know I'll find you.

A world in between awaits me.
As I take my last step.
To finally be set free.
I won't fail by myself.
Because the time has arrived, now.

We'll search for The Angels.
And know where they will lead.
We'll search for The Angels.
To finally be set free.
Now we'll reach for the end.

AND SKETCH A NEW PLAN!
WHERE I WON'T FALL UPON,
THIS WORLD THAT I'VE BUILT!
FOR MYSELF, I'LL FALL ALONE!

We recieve the call.
A Call To Arms.
We'll take on the fight.
To protect our home.
We won't be alone.
WE'LL FIGHT FOR HOPE!

A Word From Heaven

The Legacy Inferno 2: Awakening
6.) A Word From Heaven

A sigh of relief.
Escapes from my lungs.
As my heart rate slows.
Life returns to me,
Now I'm free from this.
But this is never it.

There is a call, a word.
Ringing in my ear drums.
Beyond my grasp of relivance.
I hear the voice clearing.
Just to mutter the words,
"The time is near."

I steady my hands.
And breathe in those words.
Trying to decipher,
The meaning of there worth.
Then I begin to fear.
That something is wrong here.
But the truth is so unclear.
Now I don't know what to feel.

There is a call, a word.
Ringing in my ear drums.
Beyond my grasp of relivance.
I hear the voice clearing.
Just to mutter the words,
"The time is near."

WE WILL SEE, WHERE THIS WILL LEAD!
AND SHINE SOME LIGHT, ON THE TRUTH WE SEEK!

The Hunt

The Legacy Inferno 2: Awakening
5.) The Hunt

THE COLD AIR RUSHES PAST ME!
AS I STRIVE TO CATCH MY BREATH!
NOT AWARE, THEIR CLOSING IN!
THERE'S NOT MUCH TIME LEFT!
THE RAIN BRUSHES DOWN MY FACE!
THEY EASE UP, AND SLOW THEIR PACE!
NOW THE TRUE CLASH CAN BEGIN!
THERE'S NOT MUCH TIME LEFT!

They come with speed.
They come without haste.
They'll make their move.
They will have their taste.
They will hunt me down,
Until the end of my days.

ITS TIME TO TAKE MY STAND!
ITS TIME TO MAKE MY MOVE!
ITS TIME TO BREAK AWAY FROM YOU!
WE WILL REACH AN IMPASS!
WHERE DEATH IS THE ONLY WAY,
WE CAN EXPELL THIS PAIN AT LAST!
WILL WE SEE THE DAY!?
WHERE THIS FIGHTING ENDS!

They come with speed.
They come without haste.
They'll make their move.
They will have their taste.
They will hunt me down,
UNTIL THE END OF MY DAYS!

(Solo)

THIS CLASH WILL SPILL OUR BLOOD!
AND ERASE OUR SHAME AND MERCY!
AND NOW WE FIGHT, THE FIGHT!
AS THE LIGHT FILLS US UP INSIDE!
NOW WE RISE TO THE SKY!
AND UNLEASH THE LIGHT INSIDE OUR EYES!
IT WILL DWEAL UPON THE EARTH!

I walk away,
With my head heald high.
I'll live another day.
And walk away,
With my life.

Demons Wake

The Legacy Inferno 2: Awakening
4.) Demons Wake

SCATTERED AND SHAMEFUL!
HE AWAITS THE CALL!
FOR THE WORST TO CATCH HIS SIGHT!
AND TAKE AWAY HIS LIFE!
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHATS COMING!
BUT ITS DRAWING NEARER NOW!

Breathe it in again.
And watch our time drift, away.
We're failing to grasp.
The impact we've left, behind.
And I fear we're out of time.

SILENCE BREAKS, THEY OPEN THEIR EYES!
BREAKING FROM THEIR SHELL, THEY RISE!
THE MOTION HAS BEEN SET!
NOW THEY MAKE THEIR DECENT!
STAY CLEAR OF THEIR FATAL CRY!
BECAUSE THE DEMONS WAKE TONIGHT!
TIME TO MAKE HASTE!
AND HAVE YOUR TASTE TONIGHT!

Breathe it in again.
And watch our time drift, away.
We're failing to grasp.
The impact we've left, behind.
And I fear we're out of time.

Now we've hit the root,
Of this unfair fight.
It was planned to,
STOP ME TONIGHT!

(Solo)

Breathe it in again.
And watch our time drift, away.
We're failing to grasp.
The impact we've left, behind.
And I fear we're out of time.

This move has changed me.
But I'm the target,
You were meant to seek.
I pray I'll see...

THIS CHANGE, FOR THE BETTER!
NOW THE HUNT WILL BEGIN!

Gates Of Hell

The Legacy Inferno 2: Awakening
3.) Gates Of Hell

We've opened up, to a new light.
And we've been carried away tonight.
A world in between awaits.
Face to face, we arrive at the gates.
And a decison he'll make.
Will at last give name to his fate.

Now we've opened our eyes.
To the life you've left behind.
Your time is up, your too late.
Now the Gates Of Hell await.
Where you will meet your fate.

Now take the bait,
AND FAIL ONCE MORE!

I've seen the torment in your eyes.
On the day, you left us behind.
I can see it eating you up.
The pain has grown too much.
Darkness flows through your veins.
Beyond what you contain.

Now we've opened our eyes.
To the life you've left behind.
Your time is up, your too late.
Now the Gates Of Hell await.
Where you will meet your fate.

Now take the bait,
AND FAIL ONCE MORE!

You've spiraled out of control.
I wish I could let you know.
But a burden inside remains.
On that day you went away.
But I can't take it back.
I can't take it back, no more.
Wake up, wake up.
Wake up....

I FALL ALONE, I FALL ALONE!
AND I CAN'T WAKE UP ANYMORE!
THERE WILL BE NOTHING, NOTHING LEFT!
WAKE UP AND SEE YOUR LIFE SLIP!
Now we've opened our eyes.
AND WE'VE BEEN LEFT BEHIND!
WE SEE NO END!
