With Your Help 05:39
lyrics
buy track
I set afoot inside this maze This life within itself unreal I can hardly believe my eyes At the chaos I see in this place I will take myself down With your help, I will plunge I am the one who watches, but who is the one who sees? Am I blind to what's around me, or am I blind within myself? These fire-resistant bridges Burning holes inside my brain Collapsing over all that could have been And now I am led astray Will I ever reclaim myself? Let's uncover what might be concealed

Discrepancies 06:12
lyrics

Is time dwindling away, or have we yet to begin? The time has come for me to be pulled away The dead can only wait But I will not return And I can only wait Objective in this space Cleanse my thoughts Restore a sense of rationality Forget what was, forget what could have been The discrepancies between the reality and the dream I've finally found myself Denial will no longer reign Now that I can see myself I know what this can be I look at where I've come from And I'm leaving it behind Discrepancies will haunt me I will not be sent to where I was It's time to swallow my notion of unthinkable The dead can only wait But I will not return And I can only wait Objective in this space

Opportunity 05:26
lyrics

Somehow, unlike the stories that I've heard This trail of crumbs has only led me away from home Or have I strayed so far that I've lost track of where home is? Is this what home is? Have I finally found myself? But I catch myself trapped in this circle, dragging bodies in One after the other, one after another But what if this time it's different? This is now the point where things have gone too far We've taken it too quickly, been too forward, now it's gone Momentum ceases, the well runs dry, and now it's gone But still we sing I will not just sit here and let indecision take over me I will take this opportunity I refuse to sit idly and let this indifference wash over me I will take this opportunity I will not just sit here and let indecision take over me I will take this opportunity And if the stars don't align and just nothing will ever go my way I will have taken this opportunity

And how we got to this place Will never be remembered in full detail But somehow, we know this is where we belong

Walking into the Wind 05:12
lyrics
buy track
Don't leave me here with these ideas Don't play with possibility A stroll through the park on a cold afternoon Hearing the sounds that just aren't there Feed me with your apathy, the likes of which take me back Days are years and years are hours Dying to remember what couldn't be Feed me with your apathy - the wind is coming back Don't leave me upstairs with the dust and the incessant howling Of broken parts and dreams left for naught - just stay a while Take a seat, hear me out If it's not the way, then what's the point? Have I been taught wrongly this whole time? How is this supposed to work? If only we could turn back and change this from the start We've learned that this battle only goes uphill We're always walking into the wind Curious times await us Left here with these ideas This work we hate to love Treading the lines of the system It's just cold enough Shadows melt away, clouds form overhead Time slows and all life comes to a halt It's just cold enough to shake off the dust You will learn, we will learn Force the eyes open and force the mouth shut

The Secret Intensity of Everyday Life 06:52
lyrics
buy track
Why has this come to an end? How is it that this has come to be? This mental freedom's being taken from me As what I had just escaped comes crashing back down It's always worse when you've just woken up When you touch ground, I doubt you'll like what you see Leave me here - I cannot stand to watch the clock The seconds going slower and faster all the same Now that I'm back on my feet, I can't help but sit down Since we can only save one, who will it be? The secret intensity of everyday life is catching up with me As much as I'd hate to thank you It's not because I think you're wrong And who's to say you'd want to hear it anyway? Leave me here - I cannot stand to be surrounded By all the ones who passed through my mind And though it was a short time It decided what will become of this "How fast we grow," is what they say But we will be the judge of that And though we may never speak again And though we might be sorry for what we did And while I was there for your dying day If we do speak again, it's no love, no hate

about

In October 2021, I broke my leg - which led to a lot of just having a sit and having a think. Ruminating about the past, about the songs I wrote and recorded back when I was capable of writing decent enough songs, but my production chops were not up to snuff.

The period of years was 2009-2013. That late adolescent period represented by my lyrics being mostly questions with no answers. In that span, I wrote and recorded a couple albums for my then-solo project Dead on Both Shoulders. "Walking into the Wind" and "The Aftermath," if you're curious (please don't be curious). The songs on those albums have always had a special place in heart yada yada yada, and then a few years later I re-arranged a small handful of them and threw em on the Glass Noose release "san junipero." However, there were still some of these songs I wanted to revisit but stripping them of their heavier elements wouldn't do them justice.

Enter the pandemic - I slowly start bringing some more metal flair into Glass Noose as it turns from "let's try and get a lineup together to play out" to "well, I guess it's just time to do whatever the hell for a while as we wait out this holding pattern that might not ever end." Throw a broken leg on top of that and it was quarantine like it's March/April 2020, baby. And yeah, anyway here's Wonderwall.
