So Madison and I are in the studio today and he is setting up his pedal board and we were looking up the order of where to put which pedal and some guy had a list that seems to work pretty good and then he posted this. I have no idea what it has to do with anything guitar related but nevertheless...it was there. I laughed really hard. You might not find it as funny but whatever.

Writing...
What happens when my brilliance is now ignorance?
When my truth is no longer reality?
What happens when all these words I've said just hang off the map to drift off into the far reaches of outer space?
...where time and regret are the source of who's to say?
I am but a mortal trying to be God.
Let's just say that my love is only but the shallow end.
Is it possible to drown in yours?
See, i was the lord once...and my flock left, my love grew stale and i had nothing left to give.
I heard your never-ending in every sense of the word.
Hello, my name is Creation.
Nice to meet you, Creator.
Yes, i would love to take a walk. The night sky is beautiful.
Let us talk.
I have some issues.
And you ARE the solution.

Dancing Stars...
You've been dancing the night away
And I'm performing with a price to pay
I can't see you from where I am
And I can't be the one to take your hand
And the sun shall set on my anger
And the moon will find the feelings still linger here
And i'll hold on tightly
When the anger goes...
All you know is that you just can't stand to be alone anymore
And you find you can't hide your heart away
When the bitterness comes...
All you see is a face you used to fall in love with
And the letters will remind you again
The stars they dance on the ground tonight
The wind takes you up to flight
But it's not the same
You and I have changed and this heart is enraged
And i'm fading, I am fading.
When the anger goes...
All you know is that you just can't stand to be alone anymore
And you find you can't hide your heart away
When the bitterness comes...
All you see is a face you used to fall in love with
And the letters will remind you again
These feelings won't last now
God if you're real then pull me out
These feelings won't last now
God if you're real then pull me out tonight,
And I'm performing with a price to pay
I can't see you from where I am
And I can't be the one to take your hand
And the sun shall set on my anger
And the moon will find the feelings still linger here
And i'll hold on tightly
When the anger goes...
All you know is that you just can't stand to be alone anymore
And you find you can't hide your heart away
When the bitterness comes...
All you see is a face you used to fall in love with
And the letters will remind you again

Prayer (part 1)
"Jesus called the Twelve to him, and sent them out in pairs. He gave them authority and power to deal with the evil opposition. He sent them off with these instructions:
"don't think you need alot of extra for this. You are the equipment...""
Mark 6:7-9 - The Message Remix
Why do we pray for healing? Is it because we have been taught that and never questioned why? Is it because we have no faith?
In the passage above it says authority was given and Jesus even says it again before he ascends to heaven.
Ever since I was a tiny kid I've seen people spend hours praying for the guy or gal that was in the wheelchair and had to face the heavy disappointment as that peron came out of the church with the condition still lingering.
Something I've picked up from the stories of Jesus: never once did that man pray for someone to be healed (correct me if i'm wrong), never once did He ever face the questions of why someone wasn't healed. Every single person that came to Jesus walked away whole.
In todays world...we have the power and ability to speak and have illness disappear. Yes, it'd be in the name of Christ but we have that authority to speak and have every single physical and emotional discomfort bow at the name of Jesus.
So again to restate my question: Why do we pray?
I mean I could be completely wrong but this is just my opinion...as far as healing in concerned i feel that it is a genuine waste of time.
For example, my dad has boughten me a Fender Telecaster guitar and given it to me.
I have the right to play it when i want.
I have the right to play it how i want.
If i go to him every time I want to play it and ask him if it's ok, I am wasting time and besides getting frustrated he wouldn't know how to respond!
I feel like that's how we treat the gifts and abilities God has given us. I believe we need to step up and take ownership of these things because there is only so much that God can do. Granted, he is all powerful but He created us to use us and to use us effectively.

Daddy's Character
Goodnight to all ye fears.
Fueled by disappointments
Accompanied by tears
Goodbye all ye sorrows
Resting your head
These doubts, you'll borrow
Stars light my way
Sun ignite my joy today
And may this negative find its way to fade
From a beggar to a prince
I thought my life was finished
but daddy you took me in...
My heart belongs to you
For you remain steady and true
And all those times I forgot about you
You were there through and through
Fueled by disappointments
Accompanied by tears
Goodbye all ye sorrows
Resting your head
These doubts, you'll borrow
Stars light my way
Sun ignite my joy today
And may this negative find its way to fade
From a beggar to a prince
I thought my life was finished
but daddy you took me in...
My heart belongs to you
For you remain steady and true
And all those times I forgot about you
You were there through and through

God is love
I am tired.
I've learned that after so long of anxious thoughts, happiness, tears, ect...I have worn myself out.
For so long I have tried to wrap my mind around love which ultimately is trying to figure out God.
One of my favorite bands has a quote in one of their songs that says:
"Is your love really love? Is my love really love? I think that love isn't love unless its love til the end. Is your god really God? Is my god really God? I think that God isn't God if He fits inside our heads"
Needless to say, I can't stop listening to this song just because of the message it sends. God is love. The end. No philosophies, no theories, no anything! God created love their for meaning thats what He is. You can define love be the characteristics of God.
I don't wanna hear or come up with anymore "answers" it's all crap.
God is love. The End

New Daylight song...this is just the acoustic version and as I am writing this it is 6:46 and i wrote this song an hour ago and recorded it on my iSIGHT and presto! You got a video! Not great musical ability haha. Um, this is my letter to God about the last few months of my life.
Let me know what you think.
i've been moving mountains on my back
And I don't know if i can escape from myself
It's the simple things that get me down
Maybe one day I'll come around
Breathe in deep, take it slow
I'm in your arms and thats as far as I'll ever go
Legend has it that you walked on waves
And someone said that your love never fails
I don't know why you would pick me
With all that said I have no choice but to believe
Breathe in deep, hold me now
I'm in your arms and thats as far as I'll ever go
Let me know what you think.
