about

Off of the 2014 EP "Catharsis" originally released under the stage name Anomaly.

lyrics

I stood and stared straight with my Adonis eyes
And never once took my eyes off of the prize
She had a gun in one hand and my heart in the other
She was a winter storm in a Los Angeles summer
I beat the heat sitting in the window seat
She sat on the driver’s side looking at me like a piece of meat
Ready for the feast she was about to eat
But devouring my heart was no easy feat
She said “you’re just another guy that wears his heart on his sleeve”
I replied, “You’re just another line in a song to me”
But this isn’t how I wanted it to be
She was the best part of being set free
I left it up to chance and look at where it got me
A sharp tongue like a knife ready to slice in deep
She told me leave the music but bring the cutlery
I kissed her neck and sliced open her arteries, jeez
That was deep and a little dark don’t ya think?
I don’t think I pay the shrink to exorcise the devils in me
These motherfuckers are doing push ups now, you see
My dark passenger is now in the driver’s seat
And he’s got an appetite for anything that bleeds
I’ve got a taste of this need that I have to feed
Cuz god forbid Jeffrey Dahmer from going hungry
My angst has a body count called a track listing

I guess my creative side has a sadistic streak
Little did you know it never left the building
It was just hiding in dormancy
While I quietly paid my dues with normalcy
But I think this situation is escalating quickly
I’m clean but my head is so fucking filthy
A couple pills later and I could go down like Heath
But I’m not letting your insecurities get to me
But when you walked through that door I forgot how to breathe
And when you talked to me I forgot how to speak
I usually don’t let things like this get to me
But I guess you were really someone worth losing
But that still doesn’t stop me from being angry
Doesn’t stop me from killing you metaphorically
I need to watch you bleed through the words that I speak
It’s how I deal with having to watch you leave
And it’s times like these where I think I need a drink
But it’s that type of thinking that leads me to ink
All my scars are written down on tattered loose leafs
Look no further if you want to understand my beliefs
I’ll scrawl it down just for you on a post-it note
“I love you dearly but you piss me off and that’s no joke”
I find myself doing the strangest things to cope
Like tying this mic cord around my neck until I choke
But I guess when it’s all said and done it was fun
Fun like the kind you get when playing with guns
I guess you were really right to turn and run
Cuz spelling “I love you” with knives isn’t normal, huh?
But isn’t normal just another line that we say
To quell the demons inside of us that keep us awake?
I know there’s darkness in us that we all keep tame
Cuz we don’t need the voices in our head to play the blame game
Or maybe I’m just starting to lose my shit
And this is my final attempt to maintain a grip
On the fractured pieces of my emotional state
Cuz this smile on my face is fucking fake
But what did you expect from a monster in a cage?
I’ll tell you what you get, pure, unadulterated rage
Don’t pretend like you’re here to see me act tame
You pay to see me spill my guts out on the fucking stage
