Joseph Babcock Big fan of Brandon, followed him for years and years back to SoT and his solo work. This continues his trend of absolutely crushing music and big emotional peaks. Never stop doing what you do man Favorite track: SMOKE.

SMOKE 03:12
spread my brains out on the grass when were they gonna say its all going to be okay another cloudy day another razor blade gliding calmly coasting falling lonely disgrace just to face myself question why im here im trapped inside with my own fears i hate myself everyone knows that can it feel any different just go along with the fact that im depressed and i'm obsessed i need to spread my brains out on the grass to feed the flowers and the weeds dude lets be honest crush a xanax and ill snort it twenty something artist pilled out THIS ONE IS FOR PEEP it's so sad to be a man with a broken legacy seems that fate has me hanged high up from a tree i hate myself everyone knows that when i am finally free they will all see take me back eight years hiding behind someone else while they just scream my lyrics just so i could hang myself in the end.

ILOVEYOU 01:08
i love you how can i feel anything but self i find myself hanging onto the noose so i got something to gain but i got nothing to lose constant black hole in my chest and a shell lodged in my face easy does it easy doesnt make it easier to ease the tease of ecstasy to be someone who will never please.

CUTTING 03:04
my eyes are clouded my bodys been defiled heart is black soul is empty been fooled by its guile my arms are covered my mouth is shut my lies are building up about all of the times that ive cut i hear me screaming i hear me crying i see me bleeding i see me dying cutting away from pain hoping for release this way ill be one with the earth ill be one with the earth cutting away from pain hoping for release this way ill be one with the earth ill be one with the earth so here i am open your eyes and open your ears ive been trapped inside my own fears peace found through suicide cutting away from pain hoping for release this way ill be one with the earth ill be one with the earth cutting away from pain hoping for release this way ill be one with the earth ill be one with the earth so here i am.

DESTINY 01:28
here we are again no reason why we do this to ourselves like father like son like father like son erase your light gliding calmly coasting falling lonely disgrace just to face myself take your flight question why im here im trapped inside with my own fear i hate myself like father.

ECSTASY 02:18
ive seen lots of people who rely on substances in order to find that creativity or to dispel nerves and it feels like they're putting something out there for the public but it feels empty because they don't know "was it really them?" it was them with the substance they never feel like they can put something out that is truly just them and they feel like it feels like almost like a lie.
