Worlds Collide

2007-09-07T12:14:14-04:00

WORLDS COLLIDE
Lyrcs-DannyWoods, Music - Sean-0

Beaten down into submission
I no longer have control
It's no longer my desicion
Nothing inside my empty soul
Living hell is what I live
I hide my head in shame
I have nothing left to give
I'm surrounded by blame

CHORUS

Reality tries to break through
Like the dawn of a new day
I keep hidden doing my best
To push the real away
Hurt consumes my passions
I have nothing to confide
Suffer to the consequence
When pain makes world's collide

Can't accept the division
Too much of me is gone
Can't handle the conditions
Everything just feels wrong
I hide inside my memory
It's easier that way
I've nothing left to offer
My heart has been betrayed

REPEAT CHORUS

Hurt consumes my passions
My conscience is my guide
Suffer to the consequence
When pain makes world's collide

When I wrote this I imagined what it felt like when that quiet desperation washes over you, when you have come to the realization that that thinnest of hopes, the secret inside your heart that you hold onto knowing your teetering on the precipace of your very existence fails your reason and escapes you ripping the only thing from you that gave you meaning for being.The only thing you are left with is despair as you understand what rock bottom truly means...

Can't put my finger on it...Tear Behind The Smile

2007-09-07T12:13:44-04:00

There are always times in your your life you feel insignificant.You know why but you don't want to admit it to yourself because the utter reality of it would plummet you into a depression you would have a hard time climbing out of.You wanna ask for help but realize that the vast majority of your friends couldn't be bothered to give a shyt even though they pretend they care.You get consumed by your thoughts your own self perceptions and the perpetual feeling of never being good enough.It all stems from loneliness for me.I can be in a crowd of several hundred people yet inside I still feel lonely...detatched.Someone broke my heart I mean shattered it a long time ago and I have twisted in the wind ever since.I never imagined at this stage of my life that I would be still searching for someone to share my soul with but here I am.I'm guilty of maybe dismissing people as not a good fit and the question I ask myself is this me continuing to hide from the pain in my past.I'm trying to find the words to express this in a song but everything I come up with crosses the line of being a little too personal to expose how pathetic I really feel.Alot of the stuff I write is theraputic for me allowing me to let go of my insecurities but it's all so confusing.The thing that sux the most is being judged by your appearance and not the person you are inside.When your made to feel not good enough for long enough you can't help but buy into it and no matter how positive you try to gear your mind up to be you still have those moments of reflection that grip your heart and squeeze it like no tomorrow.I can't put my finger on what I need to do to heal.I have terrific friends who would do anything for me I'm lucky that way cause I'd have pulled a trigger along time ago if I didn't have them.But having been in love and knowing what that feels like and not having that feeling inside you anymore makes it hard to have any self worth.Always doubting always analyzing always running from pain this is no way to live.I feel empty and unwanted so alone that my very being outwardly aches from the inside.I live with a tear behind my smile and have seemingly forever so how do I shake that feeling?I wish I knew

Tear Behind The Smile

I've been around
Seen lots of things
Trying to find some peace of mind
From girl to girl
From town to town
My place in the world I couldn't find
I'm not lost
I'm just bored
I have no real sense of time
But times a running
And I just keep twisting
The things I wanted have fell behind

CHORUS

There's nothing I can do
To get back all this wasted time
There's always a tear behind the smile
There's nothing you can say
That I haven't said to myself
I live with a tear behind my smile

So what now
What is next
Do I try to get back everything I lost
I am afraid
To let you in
Every time I do it's at such a cost
They all take
Pieces of my soul
Now there's nothing thats left for me
Who I am
Doesn't matter anymore
I'll never be the man I wanted to be

REPEAT CHORUS

Where Have All The Girls Gone??has society destroyed sensibility?

2007-09-07T12:13:04-04:00

Verse#1
Where have all the girls gone
What has become of them
The ones that loved you 4 who you are
Now they just fuck with your head
I don't look at eyes anymore
I check for punctured veins instead
And wonder if I will die tomorrow
As I'm climbing from her bed
Chorus
Why's it wrong to be wanted for me
It's why I stay alone
Cause I can't find someone I trust
That I want to call my own
Drugs drama insecurities
The list goes on and on
What has happened to society
Where have all the good girls gone
Verse#2
Where have all the girls gone
The ones that were so sweet
The girls that want to be in love
Those are the ones I wanna meet
I wasn't born to kiss your ass
I don't expect you to kiss mine
Stop trying to mess with my head
Cause I'm tired of wasting time
REPEAT CHORUS
Verse#3
Where have all the girls gone
There's no one here I recognize
I see webs of misconception
Lots of useless alibies
There's nothing to hold onto
When the truth doesn't apply
What am I to do now
When everyone lives in disguise
REPEAT CHORUS

I wrote this song for one specific person so before ya start ragging on me about how all girls aren't like this allow me to explain.A very dear friend of mine who I have cared about for a long time recently was found in a motel in a crack induced coma.She is a beautiful person and her life which should be shining has become a reflection of what it could be.She continues to be an addict and it breaks my heart cause inside I have always loved her she is good people she just doesn't realize it anymore.I wrote this song for her in hoping that one day she will hear it or read it and see there is more to life than being a sketch bag loser."B" I haven't abandoned you I just can't walk down the roads you are travelling without losing my sanity.Hopefully one day you'll walk back through my door willing to let me help you recapture yourself.Your in my thoughts and your not forgotten if you need me I'll be there.

Gimme A Chance

2007-09-07T12:12:29-04:00

It's funny how you think your so together convincing yourself that your where you wanna be in life.You shut out the bad pretending to be happy meanwhile you know your life is missing something but you blissfully ignore those feelings because the pain from your past sends up warning flares reminding you of why you are the way you are.Except for a two week whirlwind affair with a fan of the band I haven't even asked anybody out in almost two years.I put my personal life aside pursuing my dream of being in a band and I thought I was happy.I'm not attracted to alot of people for the most part alot of that has to do with my own self esteem.After two pretty serious car accidents and living with the aftermath of having surgery I just felt unwanted by anyone but I never gave anyone a chance to come into my life either.I always shied away because the pain I would inevitably feel wasn't worth it to me.I had the mind set that I was gonna fail before I started.I'm tired of feeling this way.It is a defeatist attitude and I'm trying to pull myself out of this rut I'm in.Here's where the uncharted territory comes in.I have no clue how to date anymore.I know I need someone in my life because making someone proud of me is what I'm about.To achieve the dreams I'm shooting for feels somehow empty because I'm not sharing my accomplishments with anyone.Knowing this I am trying to come outta of my self imposed exile from humanity.
It's very confusing to know what to do.
Part of the journey we all go through life is about discovery it's where I find my inspiration from as an artist and a writer.Realizations are the base from where I draw my material I write.My job as a writer is to instill emotion reach down into your soul and make you take a look at yourself empathize with my vulnerability and understand that inside us all we are not really all that different.We all want the same things to be happy to feel fullfilled with your life and to be remembered as a person who honour and decency actually meant something to.I am opening myself up peeling back the layers that are me so that when people who actually read this shyt listen to my work they understand that my place on this earth was meant to be on stage singing my stories, sharing my soul, healing myself.
Gimme A Chance

Who am I do you really know?
Or is it only what you heard
You think you know what I'm all about
To me that is just absurd
My friends poison you with their own agendas
They only care about them
All I'm asking is for you to find out for yourself
Who I really am

CHORUS

Gimme a chance to be the man I can be
Gimme a chance to show you the love inside of me
Life’s to short to hide behind uncertainty and doubt
So just gimme a chance to win your heart
And show you what loves about
Gimme a chanceX3

What do you see when you look at me
Why do you run and hide
Is it really me your running from
Or is it the fear you have inside
We've all been hurt many times before
Life is cruel and full of pain
Gimme a chance let me show you
Your heart can feel love again

REPEAT CHORUS

Fade out with gimme a chance X 5 ...To win your heart
WHISPERED (to win your trust)
Just Gimme A Chance

It's Always Been You

2007-09-07T12:09:00-04:00

I wrote this song about THE GIRL the one I was in love with am in love with and always will be in love with.The lyrics say everything I need to say.I'd like to think that one day she will realize I'm still waiting for her and come and rescue me from my torment

IT’S ALWAYS BEEN YOU

Verse 1

After all this time your name is still on my lips
I remember our little moments your skin on my fingertips
Just when I needed you most you had to fly away
And there was nothing that I could do that would make you stay

CHORUS

Wherever I go whatever I do you’re in here with me
And even after countless tomorrows I pray you’ll come home to me
I’ve tried to start over but my heart holds true
You’re the only one I’ve ever loved It’s always been you

Verse 2

No matter how hard I try I can’t get you outta my mind
I remember everything about you all of our precious times
I had to let you go so now all I do is wait
Knowing you’ll never walk through my door loves little cruel twist of fate

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

It’s always been you X 5 …fade out

The Many Faces of the Invisible Man

2007-09-07T12:08:28-04:00

As you go through life you pick up many labels some of them fair others not so much.When you go through the majority of your life as a single guy you get labelled a player.Am I guilty of this dubious distinction...maybe in my younger days but definately not now.It took me along time to figure out that living this lifestyle is very hurtful to the partners you hook up with over the years and at the end of the day when you look yourself in the mirror that empty feeling you get when you realize you do nothing but use people eats at you.So I made a conscience effort to change but the only problem was nobody beleived me.Everyone was so used to my selfishness that when I tried to turn a new leaf all I encountered was skepticism.I failed to realize that time gets us all and the girls that used to be so easy to pick up now went for the younger men and I was left scratching my head wondering what the fuck happened.My ego needed a good kick in the ass and it got it and all of a sudden I became the one whining about there being no decent girls left and I was the guy that went home alone.Depression kicked in and unknowingly I started substituting food for sex and got extemely fat.I was bitter because I beleived the world had past me by and my existence had become completely inconscienquencial but what bothered me the most is that I did it to myself no matter how much my ego tried to convince me otherwise.When I was younger I treated girls like they were disposable with a my way or the highway attitude and I hurt alot of people in the process.I know it doesn't mean much now but I would like to apologize to all of them and there are a few that won't accept the sentiment and thats my fault too.As I matured as a person I feel shame about the way I treated alot of people and have to live with this dishonour every day.My motto know is treat people the way you want to be treated and above all respect people's feelings cause nobody and I mean nobody deserves to feel like they are lesser of a person than I am.So you say then why are you the singer in a rock band if your not trying to recapture your former glory days...isn't sex with lots of adoring women part of your motivation???DA oh course it is BUT...I WANT MORE.Life isn't about just sex it's actually about making a statement.If and I say that because I'm single I end up hooking up with someone this time I want it to be a lasting thing and that means when oportunities arise I have to walk away and be true to the person I'm with.Cause at the end of the day I want to feel I shared this journey with my significant other and make her proud of me and that means more to me than some random piece of ass.This song is about this journey my life has taken so far and the aftermath of living like this...

THE MANY FACES OF THE INVISIBLE MAN

I’ve left a trail of broken hearts
Scattered throughout my past
I’ve tried to give my heart away
Never found the one to last
Under the mask of broken promises
I have no real master plan
I look in the mirror only to see
The many faces of the invisible man

CHORUS

Misery loves company so invite me over
Just don’t ask me who I am
Cause I’ll hide behind some brave facade
And show you one of the many faces of the invisible man

I drift in and out of peoples lives
Leave them lying in my wake
I bleed them dry and spit them out
I push them until they break
There is no honor in my life
I take everything that I can
Even I can’t recognize
The many faces of the invisible man

REPEAT CHORUS

I’ve never had that one defining moment
Just momentary lapses of reason
I could never learn to compromise
I have nothing left to believe in
Spent my life breaking all the rules
It’s been the law of supply and demand
All that’s left is misplaced loyalty
And the many faces of the invisible man

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

The Prophecy...You will amount to nothing...

2007-09-07T12:07:49-04:00

Life is hard thats a given but far to often the ones you love go outta their way to shit in your cornflakes.You get critisized chastisized and lots of other things that end in "ized" leaving you two options.Fold under the pressure of other peoples expectations and become what they predict or do something about it.Giving up is the easy road the safe route a place at the end of the day you feel comfortable in just not fullfilled and a great majority of people accept this and end up perfectly happy.We all start our lives with great expectations and big dreams but end up with a little happy life taking care of those we are responsible for and pushing our own personal desires to the backburner.Then there are those people like me that try to defy the odds.All my life I have felt like a nothing existing to care for the other members of my family and getting little thanks for it.My opportunity presented itself and I ran with it.Do I have delusions of granduer...no.In todays rock n roll market I would be silly if I thought superstardom was gonna be part of the deal but it still doesn't stop me from trying to achieve that goal.It's the preverbial carrot that gets dangled in front of you and its what every entertainer strives to accomplish with the vast majority failing to achieve this lofty status.Knowing that I have a far greater chance to fail than to succeed doesn't deter me because I am fortunate enough to be doing what I love to do...SING.Write2theHead may amount to nothing in the end but I will always feel fullfilled when it comes to this band because its my blood sweat and tears that go into making this band what it will become.Even though we work as a team I'm the front man so its my job to create a buzz about this project and thats why I'm writing these passages about our music and the lyrics so the general public can get an insight into the inner workings of where the songs come from and it's my hope that they will help people identify with the work because of the common bonds the lyrics remind us of.My grandfather on his death bed looked up to me and told me I would amount to nothing...it devastated me but I overcame that feeling and I'm living my life and dreams so that when I get to the afterlife I can kick that mutherfucker in the balls and spit in his face

THE PROPHECY

Verse 1

In the stillness of the cold I hide from my reality
The prophecy begins to unfold and invade my sanctity
I could never really understand what it all meant
The grip has released my mind clarity will not relent

CHORUS

I can see clearly now as it all starts to unfold
The prophecy rings in my ears all my life has been foretold
YOU WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING that’s what I’ve always heard
And though I try to escape my fate the proof is in the words

BRIDGE 1

Every time I try, every time I fail
Every time I try, every time I fail
Every time I try…

Verse 2

So is it time for this man to accept his destiny
There must be away I can change the cycle of my reality
The secret is in the effort you put forth in what you do
If you live for the moment the prophecy won’t ring true

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE 2

Every time I try, every time I fail
Every time I try, every time I fail
Every time I try…
Every time I try…

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE 3
Every time I try, every time I fail
Every time I try, every time I fail
Every time I try…
Every time I try…
Every time I try…I Win

Going Home...again(A Song For Karen)

2007-09-07T12:07:11-04:00

Everybody charges away from the nest full of piss and vinegar eager to take the world by storm but life just gets in the way.It all boils down to the choices you make depending on the situations that present themselves and not everyone chooses wisely.We fail thats who we are and when we fail we look to take comfort in familiarity and we end up right back where we started at home with the parents.You know thats your sanctuary that when you feel unloved its the one place you can return to and be loved unconditionally.All parents right now are thinking shut the fuck up don't encourage this kinda thinking lol.The trick to doing this is to use this time at home and get back on your feet and not be selfish and just spongue forever.I wrote this song for Karen Baird because she was fighting some personal demons and had to resort to moving back in to her mother Ellie's home.She wanted Karen to be safe and happy and did the best she could to help her daughter out.Karen knew she needed help and tried to change her life and decided to come home but being in the family home also made her feel a bit like a failure and this feeling consumed her and saddened her.Being her close friend I could sense this in her so I wrote her this song hoping she would see it's a song of hope and maybe just maybe I could bring the smile back to her face.I miss you Karen we were pretty close once and beleive it or not your good people you just got dealt the short end of the shyt stick.If you ever read this know you always have a place in my heart and I wish you all the best

GOING HOME

VERSE1

Went headfirst out in the world, I thought knew it all
Well my come around, it came around, it was easy to take the fall
Man this world got too big and along the way I got lost
So I’m heading back to an easier time, gotta get there no matter the cost

CHORUS

Moving at the speed of smell, things haven’t been going well
Time for my family and friends, on my sanity this depends
Need to find some inner peace, comfort is a sweet release
This is where I belong; I’ve been away for too long
So I’m going home, yeah, yeah, yeah, going home, yeah!
Going home yeah, yeah, going home

VERSE2

Decided I wanted a new start, had to get back on my feet
Been down way too long, trying to make my life more upbeat
So I’m heading back to what I know, tired of being a small fish
Gotta make my life more positive, this is my only wish

REPEAT CHORUS

So when you’ve taken too big a bite, and you’re all stressed out
And reality jumps up and pulls you down makes you scream and shout
There is no shame in heading back to familiar places
To surround yourself with the ones you love and all their smiling faces

REPEAT CHORUS

My Sunshine and My Rain...Why Do Fathers Have So Little Rights

2007-09-07T12:06:38-04:00

MY SUNSHINE AND MY RAIN...a duet between father and daughter(female part will be bracketed)

I can feel the tears in your heart as you ask me
(“Why don’t you come home anymore?”)
Are you mad at me, you weren’t there for me
Like you said (“for evermore.”)
Now my heart is empty my soul is missing
And I’m left here lying flat on the floor
But I’m right here waiting for you to understand
On this you can be sure

CHORUS
(I opened my eyes and you were gone)
(Why did you lie to me?)
I wish I could tell you why I had to go
I still love you, believe in me
(Daddy I miss you, I just wanna kiss you)
(Why are we in so much pain?)
I’m here for you always cause you are
My sunshine and my rain

I want you to know you’re all I live for
There’s so much I need to explain
I didn’t mean to hurt you or desert you
I never wanted to cause you any pain
But just because I’m not there, doesn’t mean that I don’t care
I still love you just the same
You will always be my little girl
That will never change

REPEAT CHROUS

For the last twenty years all that has been pounded into everybodys head through the media TV print you name it when it comes to this issue is "DEAD BEAT DAD" and now everybody is so desensitized to it it's like all Dads that aren't in the family unit are considered to be dead beats it's just assumed and it's not fucking fair.The legal system gives all the power to the mother regardless if she is fit.The burden of proof is always upon the male to prove worthyness what a crock of shit this is.I am not speaking from experience as I have no children but some of my best friends have been put through the ringers by the cunts in their lives and after denial after denial and having to pay for the right to see their own kids and being frustrated by all the road blocks these bitches put up eventually they feel the situation is futile and they give up and the kicker is the ex's then parade around town telling everybody that a perfectly good father who has been denied his right to be a part of his childs life gets labelled as a dead beat dad.It happens alot more than you think and men are usually the ones left standing in the cold.A child is not a bargaining chip and should not be used as such.I have no respect for the women that use these tactics as far as I'm concerned anybody men included that use their children this way are piece of shit people.Speaking to both sexes you made this baby and when you commit to bringing a life into this world it is your fucking responsibility to make sure that child has every advantage to be the best person he or she can be.Live up to that fucking commitment you bunch of fucking cowards.Children need both parents in thier lives.They need to feel loved and secure so that they have every chance to develop a positive personality.Try starting your life and going through it with abandonment issues it totally sucks and I'm speaking from my life on that issue as my real father didn't have the balls to be a real man.They're are so many sad people in todays society because we live in a lifestyle where broken homes are a common thing.People just don't realize due to their own selfishness what they are doing to the mindset of their own kids and its a character flaw in the human race that makes us weak as a race.Love your kids try putting them first for a change and stop justifying your actions because you have been hurt.Why does your child deserve to be hurt just because you are???Fucking grow up people
