I'm a proud father of 3 and passionate about heavy music. I was the bass player for post-hardcore/alternative rock group Capulet from 2004-2012, releasing an album, EP and several demos. Capulet were signed to Red Bull and the Taperjean Music Group alongside Closure in Moscow and The Mission in Motion. Highlights of my music career were playing with amazing bands like Anberlin, Emery, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Haste the Day, Awaken I Am, and touring Australia several times. I wasn’t the most technical bass player, but lived for performing on stage. I have always loved the process of song writing and the visual art that accompanies music.

I’ve started thinking that he’s right. “How could the sum of someone’s life be them believing their own lies?” But I know a self-serving lullaby That’ll help me sleep at night. It smothers me with sweet denial. Sing myself a crooked melody Where I tell myself that it’s gonna be alright. Yeah, it sets my soul on fire, but I’m gonna be alright. If I lie myself to sleep then I’m gonna be alright, As long as I don’t know. I’ve been lost alone inside my head Where the devil on my shoulder’s crying wolf again. I’ve started thinking that I’m better off dead. “How could the sum of someone’s life be them believing their own lies?” Sing myself a crooked melody Where I tell myself that it’s gonna be alright. Yeah, it sets my soul on fire, but I’m gonna be alright. If I lie myself to sleep then I’m gonna be alright. I know that I lie myself to sleep every single night. Inside my mind, I lie. I know someday the jury will call And they will say That I am a fraud, an imposter, a liar. Deep down I’ll know that I agree with them. Sing myself a crooked melody Where I tell myself that it’s gonna be alright. Yeah, it sets my soul on fire, but I’m gonna be alright. If I lie myself to sleep then I’m gonna be alright. #metal #reaction #roguenjosh
