Lyrics:

The Liar and The Knife
* Please note, this song is sung in both persons. Her point of view, and his. *

{Him}
Why? Why. Why?
Your love is a broken rib tearing at my side.
Our pain is a shared existence. Only you know why. I thought I could be enough for you. I thought I could tame your madness.
I though our love would shelter you and bring you back from the edge.
I wanted to be the one. I wanted to be strong.
But all my wants are meaningless when all your hope is gone.

I am a liar. I am incomplete.
The knife you bear is like a fire burning me.
I am a liar. I am all alone. The cross you bear is breaking your back and killing me.

{Her}
Why? Why. Why?
I don’t deserve you cleaning up my life.
Your pain is a solitary cell.
Against the wall in your private little hell.
{Him}
I thought my sentence commuted. I thought we were finally free.
I thought that we could run away, and the black would disappear.
{Her}
I hoped I could stop feeling this way; I thought wrong
But all my thoughts are black now that my hope is gone.

{Her}
If I don’t walk away, I will drag you down
If I don’t end this rage, I will take you with me
Please believe I love you more than the air I breathe
Please believe I will cherish you forever
I am a liar. I am incomplete.
The knife I bear is like a fire burning me.
I am a liar. I am all alone. The cross I bear is breaking my back and killing me.
I am the liar. You are the knife. I curse the day I met you, and always love you.
As I take my life.

mix of overall production. Kill drum loop manipulation.

This has the real thing alllll over it. The symphonics take your work to an other dimension. So when's the tour start ???

the reason i did this project solo was the fact i could not find players to do it with live. i am looking, tho, and on the hunt for great players in the Sacramento Ca, area...
as to the orchestration; i love doing it. i am not a keyboard player at all, but i love string quartets and the ability to get harmonies and off tones to gel.... thanks for the listen

Right out of the gate. This tune ROCKS! I always dig your orchestrations. They fit so well in every tune you put them in.

Impressive writing and performances. All the dynamic transitions of this piece really work well together.

Thanks for letting me be a part of this. I really enjoyed writing this solo. It gave me a chance to pullout my arpeggios and go nuts on them.

This is definitely a nice body of work. It has just about everything you could want and damn is that solo sweet. Just some nice fast rhythm and some great shreddin. All the drum loops from that pack fit the metal genre perfectly. Great Stuff.
