Listener

So I'm going to a listener concert tomorrow and I'm pretty sure its going to be amazing! If you haven't heard of listener they are a band that is kind of hard to explain, but ill try. The band Listener is composed of two members, Dan Smith and Christin Nelson, nelson as composer and Smith as lyricist/vocalist. The band was started in Fayetteville,  Arkansas and is described as a sound that features heavy vocals and is neither screamed, sang, or just spoken. Dan Smith is an amazing poet! Most of the reason I'm so excited to see Listener is because of Dan Smith's poetry. Dan Smith has inspired me to write my own stuff and has made me think a lot about life, emotions, reactions, etc. Christin Nelson is rather fantastic himself, his music is really soulful and heartwarming. Saturday i will post some pictures from the concert and ill add a link to one of their songs in this post.Building Better Bridges-Listener

Fly Heart (okau song?)

Your eyes resurrect the emotion from the heart of my depression.
My souls been throughout a torture session numbing my heart,
the love i have or you isn't gone its just hidden away, i think these suicidal thoughts are here to stay.

Put a gun to my head, i think my dreams are coming true
trade my heart for a knife, so i don't have to love you.
I'm at the end of the line, or perhaps the start of the end
the lies of always and forever are something you can't mend.

i don't think i even know who i am anymore
you broke my mind so now you're beginning to fade
i feel the world i once knew is just a charade .
you pulled the strings so i couldn't hear
i think the end of my days are coming near

put a gun to my head, i think my dreams are coming true
trade my heart for a knife, so i don't have to love you.
I'm at the end of line, or perhaps the start of the end
the lies of always and forever are something you can't mend.


love is what you wouldn't expect, its always what you want but not always what you need. you might find it first or last, but you better catch it, because it goes away fast. i once found love, but i let it fall, and now I'm remembered by a blood stained wall, don't let yourself fall.

Demons

The Old Me (he wasn't very pretty, but he knew how to write depressing lyrics)

07/10/11-Love and hate are such similar feelings, I often can't tell the difference between the two. Because when I think of love I think of you, but when I think of hate I think of you too.


07/23/11-You are happiness
i am alone
she is sorrow.
My life use to have happiness,
now it has sorrow.
I still think about happiness often, but id rather have sorrow than just be alone.


08/22/11-I look around to lie. But when I close my eyes I die, caged in my head. My feeling feeling is dead, but you keep me alive. I hate you.


08/15/11-This virus, this leech that makes me so alone. My speech fades to a drone for all people except for my own. The only calm to fix this storm, the only heat to make this warm, is you. 

12/05/11-Scratch the back of my eyes,
The words in my silence are telling lies.
I feel like a joke, but you would know I'm broken. (Broken hearted!)

Bones as soul, soul as heart. My life you have torn apart, and shoved it down my throat to infect me.
With every breath, i Burn my lungs, trying to hold back jealous screams. Your still in my dreams.

 

  

 Just get out, out of my head. I wanna be dead. But then you will be gone, and I can't die twice

 

Your calling me back, attack attack! Pull my heart out, your glance makes me shout!
I feel so dead


12/21/11-I fold my paper heart and give it to you, yeah it's got a few tares but I hope it will do. I told you I'd never leave, and that promise will keep, even though my bodies' in a box six feet deep. I love you and you know it.

12/27/11-Give me some rage, then lock me in a cage. Don't listen to me shout, some demons might come out they might try to break your bones just to here that snapping tone. The demons won't hurt me.

Quadratic Formula

Hey, this is just some stuff i doodled up in algebra nothing to great but it did help me drown out the quadratic formula song.

Steam Punk Guns

These are some steampunk guns i made. I got the idea at a renaissance festival when i saw a rather dapper looking gentleman sporting a steampunk maverick sixshooter called the,  "Dreamcatcher". I found myself in shock by how awesome it looked so decided to learn how to paint guns (water guns) this way the minute i got home. I doesn't require much skill for something that i think looks difficult, but heres what i came up with, enjoy. Also if you would like me to make you one just message me.
