lyrics

What do you do
when the best of you
isn't enough.

A failing body,
a body of work
turned into dust.

Blight of the Earth,
a cancer is born
and it is us.

Look to the sky,
answers no more,
he doesn't give a fuck!

[shouting]
Deconstruct
my evolution is
a virus spreading like
pestilence for
every
living
thing.

With just six months to live,
we all said goodbye
long before you ever died.
You gave it all that you could give.
I know these weren't your plans,
you could've been a better man.
With only six months to live,
you looked me in the eyes,
said that it was time to be wise.
Gave it all that I could give,
please just understand
I'm gonna be a better man.

How could anything so
sinister be allowed to pervade.
An inevitable
personal
rot and decay.

[shouting]
Deconstruct
my evolution is
a virus spreading like
pestilence for
every
living
thing.

With just six months to live,
we all said goodbye
long before you ever died.
You gave it all that you could give.
I know these weren't your plans,
you could've been a better man.
With only six months to live,
you looked me in the eyes,
said that it was time to be wise.
Give it all that I could give,
please just understand
I'm gonna be a better man.

about

Walter King Veneta, Oregon

There's not a whole lot to say. I am self-produced, self-taught, and a life-long musician.

My biggest influences are musicians like those in The Mars Volta, Between The Buried And Me, Incubus, and movie soundtracks. Lots of movie stuff!

You can find my stuff here and that's about it for now. ... more
